I still carry a cigalike daily and use it mainly when drinking or driving it works really well
I do miss the huge vapor of a home mod but it really has a conforming character of known subliminal feel I guess. It works..

Really sour e juice works, e juice becomes so syrupy sweet after a few drinks it becomes unvapeable for me..
If you DIY you should try Bitter wizard by Flavor arts. I use a TA juice thats absolutely nasty until sauced

:vapor: I catch myself wanting a real one when I drink. When I'm sober I do not want one or even be around them nasty things, but when I get a few drinks in me I tend to want a real one... I'm noticing the longer I drink without one It's helping but I hate having that urge as I do not have it when I'm sober. It's the only problem I have yet figured out is to how to cure the want when drinking... I toke my provari + kayfun lite and it seems to help me with wanting one but still an urge that I hate. :evil: Like I said when I'm sober I don't even want to be around one because I hate the smell but when drinking I have an urge to want.

The cravings should lessen over time. just hang in there or find a tobacco flavor ejuice ,that might help.

If I ever get to craving, I just drip a few drops of a higher nic juice onto my wick and take a few really strong hits. That satisfies it every time. My advice is to keep a few different strengths of juice around for those moments.

Another thing that helps is to play around with pairing e-juice flavors and cocktails/drinks. In other words, find combinations that you really love... like a great Oatmeal Stout with a dry chocolate hazelnut... or a glass of good Cabernet with a not-too-sweet blood orange. You'll find that once you discover a great pairing, you'll be craving that flavor combination, not cigarettes.

My first time at a bar and 3 weeks into vaping exclusively I had no urge to smoke cigarettes. Worse yet, the cigarette smokers were bothering me with their stench. I was asked by two different smokers for a light, which I didn't have. I've been to bars several times since and never have the urge.

I can't honestly say that vaping has saved my life but my life has improved greatly since putting cigarettes behind me.

I've been lucky, after the first few weeks of keeping a death grip on my APV 24/7, I haven't really craved a cigarette, regardless of what I do.

I will say that every so often I get a fraction of a twinge when I see someone else lighting one up, but it usually passes after a microsecond or two.

I never really got the urge to smoke a cigarette when drinking alcohol. When I first started vaping the temptation trigger for me was that morning cup of coffee but I got over it pretty quickly. I was a 40 year 1.5 pad red smoker when I started vaping fwiw.

It's been long enough for me now that I'm never in the least tempted to smoke a cigarette ever. Like so many things it takes more time for some than others. Guess I should consider myself fortunate.

Had the occasional drunken cigarette for the first 9 months that I was vaping. Over time, that desire went away. I'm not sure if it's because I don't want a cigarette or that I've stepped up my game to heavy hitting RDA's. Now i just bust out the dual micro coil .7 RDA. It hits harder than any cigarette ever could.

I used to wonder how I'd ever face a cup of coffee without a cigarette. They just go together. Two years out from my last cig life is good. I haven't even considered smoking for a l-o-n-g time. It doesn't take long to lose the psychological addiction once the physical addiction is gone. Before too long, your desire for a cigarette will be eradicated.

Vaping after a meal these days just seems right. So does vaping with a cup of coffee. You couldn't hold me down and make me smoke. Time heals. Once your sense of smell returns to that of a non-smoker you won't want anything to do with those nasty smelling cigarettes. Really, they stink once your nose heals.

Well, sometimes I do get that whiff of a freshly lighted cigarette off in the distance and my mind rolls back to another day. But, I still don't feel the urge to try it again. It's just a memory that gets recalled.

I bump up my nicotine level during 'happy Hour' :toast: works for me.

I used to have that annoying urge ... before vaping, I always enjoyed a nice glass of Merlot, or a Cabernet with a couple of smokes before bed, it was my nightly ritual as I sat in front of my bedroom window.

Initially I felt like vaping with a glass of wine didn't offer the same satisfaction, but with a few changes to my eliquid, and nic level, my feelings changed, and now I am quite content with my wine, and vape pairing. :)
