What's your vaping style?

[JanuarySun]

The most interesting thing I have noticed about vaping is that there is no starting/stopping point like there is with an actual cigarette. I expected to vape like I smoked--pick it up, vape for a few minutes, put it down for a half-hour or so--but that isn't what I'm doing at all. I'm generally just taking random hits off of it constantly every few minutes. That was a big surprise to me. Of course, I vape more heavily when I wake up, after a meal, and late at night, just like with smoking...but I still don't do in short, regular intervals like I would with cigarettes.

Is this typical of vapers? How do you find yourselves vaping?

I'm like you; I find myself vaping on and off pretty much constantly. It's definitely different than the short "smoke breaks" every now and then when I smoked.

Well it depends on what I'm doing....the best thing to me about vaping is I can clean house do yard work and not feel the need for a "smoke break". When I get tired I take a break but I don't stop because I "need a vape".

When I'm at the pc I keep it close at hand [sometimes even in my hand (yes I can type with it tucked in my left thumb )] and I may puff on it once and put it down...maybe 10 times...maybe I'll keep it in my hand... maybe not. Yeah its pretty random.

Since vaping has replaced a 40 plus year analog habit and a 23 year period when I used smokeless (snuff) and smoked, I pretty much always had tobacco unless I was asleep or in the shower. So I vape like I used tobacco, all the time.

Unless I am eating, sleeping or in the shower, I have a PV at hand if not in it. Switching from the analogs was no problem but the dip, well, I have been 100% free of that only a month. The analogs were gone with my first 808 kit but the smokeless took a fat batt (GO-GO) with a lot of high nic to kick that craving.

Just like analogs and smokeless though I do find that when things get stressed or other times I used tobacco more heavily, I do the same with vaping. My wife likes to tease me about my computer room looking like the old opium dens from the old movies. Even with the way the exhaled vapor disssipates much more rapidly than smoke, I usually keep a cloud going when I am tense!

It is all my story

I, too, usually keep an ego in my hand at the computer, while driving, at home. I'm a semi-constant vaper.

 

[my4jewels]

When I smoked analogs, I only smoked about 10-15 per day. I enjoy vaping so much more that I do it much more than I smoked. Initially, thought the constant vaping was maybe a noobie thing and I'd settle down to a routine. Well, it seems that my routine is "if I'm awake, I'm vaping". I don't leave a room without my eGo safely in hand or in a pocket. It's just sooo damn good!

 

[proax9]

"if I'm awake, I'm vaping".

Pretty well sums up my day!

 

[fray]

I take more frequent "vape breaks" than i did smoke breaks. I will have a few binges during the day (driving or otherwise disposed) but most if the time it is 3-4 puffs and back in my pocket.

 

[JTman]

My typical style is short and frequent. Take a few puffs every 5-10 minutes or so. When my boss got a stick up his rear and decided I couldnt vape at my desk anymore I was forced to go outside. Trying to vape it like a cig doesnt work as well, the atty gets too hot and the flavor starts to suffer. So, I just have to take extra long since I have to let my atty cool down every 4-5 puffs or so. Serves him right!

 

[theoneuafter]

Same here. I definetly vape more than I smoked lol

 

[DaDoc]

im a pretty constant vapor always taking hits off it every few min and a bit heavier after meals


Vape On

I find that if I am doing something interesting my cravings are almost non-existent, but when I start vaping I don't want to stop. I'm over three months in and I am still not used to this. It is weird to not measure time in smoke breaks.

 

[JanuarySun]

It is weird to not measure time in smoke breaks.

Isn't it, though? Looks like that is pretty common among vapers. Definitely understandable to use it more like a cigarette if you have to take actual "vape breaks" at work, though...so I guess some people are forced into using it more like a cigarette.

 

[JTman]

I hate trying to vape like I used to smoke a cig. The first few hits are great but then it starts to get too hot and then I worry im killing my atty. Nothin like sittin at the computer and taking a drag every 45 seconds for hours on end lol!

 

[otrpu]

On my weekends, pretty much 3 days, if I'm awake I'm vaping continuous. . .a couple hits a minute. At work, I vape every time I'm out of camera range. And I sit the moitors, so know exactly which are recording and which are coasting. Feel sorry for all those pretty little girls going out in the weather to smoke tobacco cigs. And think of the productive time could be captured if management would only pull their heads outta wherever their heads are. JMHO

Cheers,
otrpu

 

[rrayda]

Constantly, joyously and unabashedly.
