What's really missing in ejuice?

James - you should do a 3 week "analog" experiment haha...

hmmm. jk i guess.

i personally don't care if i have to smoke analogs the rest of my life. but one thing i like about not smoking analogs or smoking in general is i feel more relaxed... i'm not as alert about everything...so things don't always seem so pressing...

but then i start getting bad thoughts... after awhile.

========================

i would probably vomit trying to smoke 40 cigs a day now, i try to keep it under ten a day, i have been replacing the cigs that were just blowing smoke with other less harmful substitutes like ecigs, stonewall, and snus, and i just got some CigRX to try.

James, I hope you'll update about the CigRX. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Snuff. Good stuff. I'd rather use it than Snus.

I have a feeling that CigRX sucks.

Here's a good place to start: Get Snus at GetSnus.com. The US based online snus store. A good mix of available snus. Snus works by giving us back the crave-calming effects of a smoke. It's fairly cheap, safe to use and made all the difference for many to finally close the door on cigarettes. I was a nicotine monster with a PV and couldn't quench the craving until I tried Swedish snus. It works. The biggest drawback is the shipping cost, so don't order just 1 can. They charge the same price to ship one 24 gram can as they do ten 24 gram cans. Do some research on the Smokeless sub-forum, ask some folks about different kinds and maybe you'll have enough info to put together a multi-can trial order to save some moola.

Good Advice. But...Do try the swedish snus first. There is a big difference in how the american snus and the swedish snus is cured. The swedish snus in my opinion is far superior to the american snus.

I'm the same as the op. vaping has halved my cigarette intack but even the best flavours aren't as yummy as a Camel Blue or a Dunhill Orient with half the filter cut off with scissors....

Strange thing is that I PREFER vaping in the day as it stimulates the heck out of me even at 11mg and leaves no stink or tight chestedness.

However both in the evenings and when drinking - I want to feel relaxed, not stimulated and the vape just does not do it for me, even gives me insomnia if I vape up to an hour before bed.

I wish and hope that one day e-juice makers will look into putting other tobacco constituants into their juices other than just nicotine (perhaps the moais) so that they are more satisfying. I can't complain and 50% reduction is nothing to throw a stick at and I certainly feel less tired and healthier (face is more colorful now, hair seems better, more energy etc) but I still need more than just nicotine (in fact I don't like the nic buzz that much outside the working hours of the day and anything over 16mg makes my head pound and my ears get a weird rushing and pounding sound in them which I hate!)

I started following the maoi thread but that quickly turned into extraction and chem related stuff. I'm still hoping to hear if a blend of herbal maois and beta whatevers mixed with juice would work. I'm in the same boat as you. $500 spent on ecig supplies and I only pick it up to puff once in a while but shortly follow it with a smoke.

I have developed my own WTA extraction method that's very simple and foolproof.

Open a can of Swedish snus (must be Swedish as the US made snus...... sucks), place it under the upper lip..... wait a few minutes..... enjoy the WTA goodies. You can also try some stonewalls or nasal snuff as needed or desired.

Hope that doesn't sound to snarky but it really is easier then most people make it out to be. Fact is a good percentage of us simple don't do well with nicotine only e-cigs and supplementing or replacing the PV with a whole tobacco product like snus can do wonders for mind and body. Just stick to it and give it some time to do its work. Certainly more then a few days as the OP had done.
