I would have said to have a bottle of 18mg juice to vape while drinking, but you say it kill your chest, so forget that.
My question would be.....what type of device are you using and what kind of cartomizer, atomizer?
If you are on a standard 3.7V battery that's output power is draining as you use it and you are pairing that with an inferior atomizer coil, then you can simply upgrade to a variable voltage or wattage device with a superior atomizer for when you plan to imbibe.

Yeah it's been tough for me as well. I play darts once a week in a bar league and it's always challenging to not smoke at all, but so far for the last 8 weeks I haven't. I just go outside with the smokers now and then and vape with them while they smoke. It's tough I know, but you'll be proud of yourself after a night out of not smoking and not giving in. It's a good feeling!

I use an itaste vv v3 at 11w with a 1.6ohm dual coil carto tank and plan trying a mechanical running sub ohm to see if that's better.
I can manage to not smoke just wish it were as easy as when not drinking. Vaping switch wasn't difficult except when drinking.

I was wondering about this exact thing. I get my first e-cig tomorrow. I drink a fair amount at times, and was curious how vaping would work with drink involved.
I like a drink before bed (typical Yorkshire bloke) and reckon I only struggle because of lack of throat hut tbh. My mates have no trouble
The wife and I don't really have a problem with it. Although we do tend to vape more when drinking.
I noticed when i first started vaping every now and again I would get these severe cravings for a smoke all of a sudden, but it was'nt it was just my body telling me it wanted nicotine and since it used to get it from smoking thats how it expesses it.
Once I understood this it became much easier to deal with I know you get these feelings that a vape just aint gonna cut it and you need a real smoke, but you don't just take a few vapes and give it a little longer than the smokes for it to do its thing (vaping takes a little longer for the Nic to get into your system) and you'll be just fine.

I would say look into WTA juices. They have helped me get off the last few analogs, and work for me while drinking. In fact that's about the only time I use them. A few searches around this forum will give you some info as to what they are.
And if you're not interested in that, I find that unflavored juice is my other go-to if I'm having a drink.

I had this problem only the very first 2-3 days of vaping, before I found the right e-liquid for me.
Recently watched a grimmgreen vod about those juices.... pricey lol but yeah probably a good idea.
As you posted that reply I was making an 18mg non flavor and it seems to be fine to vape even with my chest issues. Assuming flavor base must be pg.

The analog craving will eventually go away when drinking (IMHO). I used to struggle with it a lot too, but now not even tempted. Not meant as bragging, just want to show you there is hope down the road that you can quit the analogs & not give up the alcohol.
Alcohol is good for you!

Did that successfully. I have a WV and I turned it up. Sucked up my juice like it was going to disappear. But I made it. Really wanted a smoke, but you just have to decide not to smoke, even if that means you have to tie your hardware to your lips. Certainly was not easy, but worth it.
I was worried about it too- but I haven't slipped up once in 6 months. I have zero urge- I found that I even vape less when i'm out terrorizing the town.
Have you consider using Swedish snus? When I first started vaping to quit analogs I did fairly good. Never could kick the habit completely. Found out about Swedish snus and that did the trick. Lots of good information down in the "Other alternatives to smoking" section. I ditched the analogs the next day and that was over nine months ago. It helped a ton when it came to drinking as well. I bought some good strong snus online and use that when I partake in a few beers and it works like a dream. Plus I don't have to go outside where it's cold or raining to vape. I guess I was missing the tobacco alkaloids that vaping doesn't provide and snus does. Might do the trick for you.
Just to re-enforce the theory, 6 shots of vodka down, and still vaping like a boss... 
What liquids are you vaping? I think that makes a difference. If I'm going out socializing and having a 'beverage' or two I'll vape Halo Torque56 or Turkish because of the throat hit and tobacco base even at 12mg. Instead of loving a cigarette with a drink, I'm loving those liquids instead.
Hang in there, you'll find what works for you.

This is exactly what I do. I was having a hard time while drinking, but found that if I went to a tobacco juice with more of a throat hit, it was okay. I usually use dessert juices, but tobacco is my go-to when drinking. I also like to switch to the iClear 16 over my pro tank because it has a tighter draw and warmer vape that more emulates a cigarette to me. Cravings for a cig while drinking went away after that.
You can purchase a flavor base to go with the WTA in pure vg - may be a good call since you said you have to stay at 12 and Wholecig doesnt always have the lower options. Nic can be brought down with flavor(vg) and VG itself.

Non-PG Flavorings
(and many others check out the DIY forum for easy mixing 1 flavor and ratio - I just grabbed the first 2 I saw by non PG mixers that are reputable)
Now - on to address the initial question - for me it was a matter of flavor. I dont know what alcohol does to the tongue or olfactory senses, but 1 sip of beer, wine or my favorite poisons - rum and whiskey and all of my eliquid tastes like poo! IDK what it is about drinking but I like TOTALLY different flavors with it. Once I figured that out I actually PREFER vaping while drinking (NEVER thought I would say that!)
For me I am NOT a tobacco vaper - but there is a really pungent, robust and fancy tobacco mix that for some reason is divine to my taste buds with alcohol. Also I like fruit vapes but they are a back burner in my daily rotation - until I drink. I even like fruit with a hint of mint ( I HATE menthol???)
So the short version here- maybe try some outside of the box flavors or more pungent types of the same flavors and it may be a little easier?
An 18650 mod is what ended up doing the trick for me; having a smoke while drinking was one of my biggest hurdles. SNUS helped out a lot too on more than one occasion. You're getting a lot of good advice here, keep trying until you find something that works and try not to beat yourself up while you are struggling with it. Good luck!
