What am I missing?

[zee]

I finally made a concious decision to give up the cigs after smoking for 40+ yrs and escalating blood pressure probs. I smoked Misty Menthol Ultra Lights or Lights, about 1-1 1/2 packs a day. I have been off the cigs just short of a month, yeeeeay! Because I hate messing with liquids and filling empy carts, I have been buying the filled carts and they are costing me a small fortune! The strength I am using is 24 and here are my questions and probs.....I seem to constantly vape like a chain smoker, still not getting a great throat hit and I am still struggling, however, not as bad as the first couple wks. By vaping as much as i do, I am afraid that I may be doing as much harm as smoking a cig as I have no clue what I was getting from the cig and how much I am getting from chain vaping! I know this does not matter but I vape menthol and just wanted to give all the facts. Is this all normal? Any helpful info please? Thank you

I'll just address the chain vaping thing - the way I got out of 'pacifier mode' is by going to a true 3.7volt mod - bartleby and a puresmoker protege (now Icon) with the 510 atomizer - 2.1-2.3Ω which means a wattage of 6.5Watts vs. about 4.5-5.5Watts with cig style joye batts and others. That extra wattage gives you more vapor and hence more nicotine, so I was able to put the thing down for while and not power vape. Know your wattages - that helps and get what you need to get at your sweet spot. Check these charts:
