Do any of you do this? I am a college student and I've found it increasingly harder to vape while I'm drunk. vaping doesn't give me the same feeling that a cigarette does. Smoking a cigarette outside a bar or a party with friends is one of my favorite pastimes. It's social as well as gratifying.

I've only been vaping for a year and I know we are all different but what do you guys think?

Drinking would normally turn me into a human chimney. Killing a pack in a few hours of solid drinking and conversation was a common occurrence. This was my biggest battle switching over since I was never really physically addicted to cigarettes.

All it takes for me to remember that I don't want one is to smell everyone else around smoking the cancer sticks. Vaping completely satisfies all my urges and I've even found myself just waiting until I get home to vape if I somehow run out of juice/batteries without resorting to analogs.

I think we all have our particular triggers and this is your big one. Don't fret too much, it's your choice IMHO bring XXpotent juice with you and if you can smoke only one or two nasties while your partying you'll be ok. Just remember how bad waking up the next day feels after a case of beer and 2 packs of smokes in your lungs. You'll make the right decision for yourself.

I find it difficult, especially when there are analog users around me smoking like chimneys. It hasn't caused me to fall off the wagon though. Last week I was drinking and chain vaping so hard I burned a dual coil carto on just a regular ego batt. This weekend I believe I actually drank some ejuice, it was the only reason I can think of why I got so sick.

I'm only a month and half in, so I hope it passes, but I find drinking is the only time now I get cravings that are hard to fight.

What you are asking only makes sense to around 10% of the population :)
 
yeah, i do so often, and it seems to rock my buzz harder than cigs ever did...
my biggest prob though is finding the juice that goes with what i am drinking.
If i am at home...works great..i can swap on another carto(i don't drip and drink)
its when i am out that it causes probs, because i never know what i will end up drinking..
so i usually try to pack a normal tobacco or menthol flavor for those times...

I can vape when I'm having a few beers during a game or something but its when I get plastered that vaping doesn't help. I tried not bringing cigs to the bar the other night and of course my drunk self bummed a packs worth of cigs from all my buddies. I guess I need to get some 36mg juice.

hahahaha being drunk lowers your inhibitions...it doesn't wield a magic power to suddenly change someone, merely bring the hidden to the surface. Like the all classic, "I cheated on you, because I was drunk." Chances are the person secretly had desires to cheat, and the alcohol made it easier. None of this really pertains to you.

You mentioned you enjoyed smoking with your friends when you drink. Cigarette smokers have unique subculture of their own as do vapers. Perhaps, the fact that the rest of your friends are smoking while you are vaping is what's getting to you. Maybe your desire to be apart of the group is more prevalent when you are intoxicated. If that's the case, I would get some cool pv's and get them vaping. :) They have pv's that are pipes that look really cool.

Also, your mood affects the way things taste. That's why some people who are depressed can't eat, or eat too much. I imagine mood would affect vaping the same as it affects all the other senses.

So as suggested previously, it's either," all in the mind," or you need some different juices or pv's.

Don't party too hard! :)

When I drink, I do tend to vape alot, partly because a lot of my friends are smokers and partly because I like the alcohol/nicotine kick. When I started vaping I would smoke cigarettes when I drank and, if I've been drinking heavily, occasionally still do. For the most part, though, I usually stick to my PV. When I know I'm going out to drink, I'll try to pick a juice that's stronger in nic and the most tobaccoy or as flavor neutral as possible. I've found that flavors that I like while sober sometimes are completely disgusting while intoxicated.

I don't consider the occasional cigarette backslide a failure in my attempt at quitting, because getting into that mindset does absolutely no good and would just set myself up for future disappointment. Everyone needs wiggle room.

Like others I once loved smoking at bars and clubs, now I love taking those deep pulls and blowing out clouds. I always make sure to bring a carto or two of a strong menthol/mint when I go drinking. A carto because I fail terribly at dripping while intoxicated and a strong menthol because it does the best job to simulate the cigs I use to smoke. So far I haven't tripped up with that combo while I'm out for the night. Like Lon said, it's all in the mind.

I agree 100%. Drunken words are sober thoughts! Same goes with your actions! Thats why I stopped hanging out with the guy who got a little too close with a goat when we drank at a friends barn.
