Vaping too much?

[Chris Leckness]

I smoked 2 packs a day for 27 years. I work where I drive 3-4 hours a day. I made a lot of 25-35 minute drives between locations. During those drives, I would smoke 2-3 cigs. Like others, I smoked after eating, while driving, and 1-2 times a year after sex.

The question I have is this... do you vape more than you smoked? I do.
I am vaping all day it seems. I am going through 2-3 Kayfun Lite Plus tanks a day when I use my box mods. So that's like 10-15ml a day. When I am dripping, even more but I seem to vape less often when dripping.

I started out 105 days ago using 18mg juices in tanks. I quickly dropped to 12mg since I am vaping more than I probably should.

Now I drip 3-6mg and use 6 or 12mg in tanks. I am thinking about dropping to 6mg exclusively in tanks too.

Thoughts?

I myself smoked two packs a day for eighteen years. I personally vape a lot too. I only drip and I'm at a mindset that since the nic is lower I'm constantly on it. I use 3-6mg in my juice, but am always dripping like mad. Being as I only sleep about three to four hours a day, I tend to go through two or three 50ml bottles a week ( depending ). I did notice with higher nic levels, I consume less juice, but that's not a nice vape when dripping on lower sub ohm levels.

I've tried tanks etc, but seems after I got my first RDA it was done and over for the tanks. I think the lower you go, if you're not ready for it, you try to compensate by using more juice.

Edit: On another note. My heaviest uses are when driving, gaming and late at night in the office. I get away with it working the graveyards lol.

Are you vaping when you crave nic or are you doing like I do and vaping 'cause it's there. I suspect that you are "Reflex" vaping. If not you should up your nic.
I reflex vape constantly, drive times are the worst, but a Kayfun 3.1 tank will still last all day. I don't drip, except for juice sample tasting. And I don't sub-ohm, cloud chase, or use a mech mod.

Advice:
Put The Mod On The Table And Step Away, Slowly

It's mostly because it's there. I rarely get "urges".

I was also 2 packs a day, now I vape like mad... If you are getting nicotine OD symptoms, you should probably drop the nic level. Any amount of vaping is better than smoking though, I say keep it up

you should have more sex.

 

[Hahahehe]

Totally agreed

 

[Mrdaputer]

How long have you been vaping? To start out with a lot of ppl vape like mad even at a higher nicotine level. Then some drop the nicotine level or vape less. I say if you are not smoking then what your doing is right and not to worry about it

I agree, I seem to vape way more than I smoked. I attribute it to the fact that the ecig device doesn't burn out like a cigarette so you just seem to keep going and going. Maybe if they offered one with the timer that would shut off after 10 or 15 pulls I might be able to put it down for awhile....No self discipline here...LOL

I think its habit more than anything, I find I vape more also but I will only take a hit or two of vape compared to smoking a whole cigarette Im not sure what the ratio of puffs equal a cigarette but I tell myself it equals out lol

Been vaping for 2 months now and off the analogs since I started. First bottle of juice was 18mg nicotine then quickly dropped to 12mg. I'm considering dropping to 6 mg on my next bottle. Had a veteran vaper tell me that the nicotine ruins the flavor. when testing juices in my favorite shops all the testers are 0mg. I find a flavor i like but when i buy it with my desired nicotine strength and get it home I notice the taste is not as good.

+1

Have to agree this these

I smoked two packs of cigs a day as well. When I first started I used 24mg. I bought one 10ml bottle. Once I used it I dropped to 18mg and used two 10ml bottles. Then I dropped to 12mg and stayed there only for a week. I then went to 6mg and have stayed there ever since. I don't know if I vape more than I smoke. I go through probably 3.5ml a day now.

I would cut down to 6mg though and then eventually drop to 0mg. That is my plans anyways.

Good luck.

I vape a lot more than I smoked, but I find a 30ml bottle of 18mg lasts me about a month using a Totally Wicked V3 tank. And I count my puffs, equalling 10 puffs to a cigarette, as I find that if I am with smokers, 10 puffs lasts about the same as their cigarette.

From the scientific reports I've read nicotine absorbtion from vaping is not the same as from tobacco. Nicotine from vaping is absorbed at a slower rate.
