Well, I finally got the hang of eCigs.

[BigFatDan]

I almost exclusively vape over smoking. The only time I smoke a cigarette is when I have to wait to vape (filling carto) and analogs are consistently nasty-tasting now, I can't bare more than a couple drags.

It's been pretty much a month and a half since I started vaping and I've kept track of how many cigarettes I've smoked since then. 27 as of right now. However I just ran out of eliquid because I forgot to buy more. So that number is most likely going to rise and I feel like I'm cheating my counter.

I'm finally comfortable with my E-Power. I don't feel the need to want more power. When I had my ReVolver Infiniti Ion I kept staring at vape sites like MV and CCV at all their cooler models with so much more battery life. No matter how much I vape every day the battery never dies and if it does, it's right before I go to bed. My cartos I usually get 1-2mL/day which actually surprises me.

Anyways, I'm doing the next step to weening myself off of the nicotine. I went from 24mg on my sample packs and now I just ordered 180mL of Hypermint 80p/20v in 16mg. I will most likely linger at 6mg nic for a while and when I'm nice and comfortable drop down to 0mg.

I actually put a lot of thought into this post but when I typed it out it sounds weird, oh well lol!

Happy vaping everyone!

EDIT: Sweet, I found 1mL of the Cafe Caramel. I need to make this last, lol.

Lowering the nic levels is alot less painful than i thought it would be. Good luck getting your juice.

Its awesome to hear youve cut down so much man. From 5-6 packs a day to 27 cigs in over a month, Id say thats a huge win.
Im glad to hear your happy/satisfied with your E-Power too, thats why I recommended it bc I knew a slim ecig wouldnt be enough for you. Makes me feel like I didnt waste my time staing up till 4am explaining why you want to return the Revolver and get a bigger battery PV! haha Are you still using the Ressurectors with it too?
If you do smoke a cig or 2, dont worry about it. Youve made HUGE steps already. Def get some more juice so you dont run out liek that again! Its good to allways have some kind of reserve bottle of juice for emergencies so you never run out. Ha wasnt Cafe Caramel the one you didnt really like too? at least its something till you get more. If you lived closer Id send you something to hold you over, but if you already ordered more juice that would prob get there faster anyway.
Glad to hear your doing well and enjoying your gear. It makes me feel really good to hear youve went from a 5-6 PAD habit to barely anything and are already cutting down your nic level as well.

Congrats dude and keep it going!!

I wouldn't lower the nicotine until you're completely off cigs.

Thanks Rob, I can't say I like the taste of the Cafe Caramel, but when you have nothing left to vape it's ok. I also just found a little bit of Grape Drink which actually tastes better then when I first tried it.

Thanks SO much for staying up with me til 4:30 in the morning for all that help man!

+1

Especially when your still smoking. When you finally get off of cigs then your gonna be needing something like 24mg to keep you from smoking cigs. Your body will naturally let you know when you lower your nic.

Sounds like you're doing a great job so far. Don't get in a hurry. It'll probably work out without really trying.

Sent from my easy chair using brainwaves.

Great job man! The post didn't sound weird at all! I feel like it is what I'm doing at the current time as well! The main thing I realize now is to never run out of liquid. Always have a 10ml backup, because if you are completely out, that'll last you (hopefully) till your next package arrives. I know what it is like though, so no worries!

Don't feel like your cheating the counter either. It happens, we all get a taste of tobacco once in a while in the beginning. The fact that cigarettes and tobacco don't taste good now is the light at the end of the tunnel!

Ya forgot to order e-liquid ouch ! lol
The more you vape i bet soon you will not even want a stinky.
It will happen the more you vape just try not to run out of e-liquid or have a battery go dead on you.

Yeah, hopefully the shipment will come soon.

eLiquid went to York, PA today. It'll be in Springfield, MA tomorrow and Suffield, CT the same day or the day after. So I should get it very soon.

My grandmother let me order a $19.00 Ego Passthrough,6 foot usb cable,a 5mL dual coil tank and some syringes/needle tips and 2 spare E-Power batteries (I'll have 4 in total).

Also, I filled out like 10 surveys at the mall and got like 50 bucks so I'm gunna buy another 180mL eLiquid and maybe a switch+battery tube for my E-Power so I can have two functioning models
