Why I Never Get Any Satisfaction Out of Vape

[riddlesmyth]

Been an year now I'm here? Well to be honest "It's just the flavor" I can't take more than 3mg with my rda, It's impossible for my lungs...Tried 6mg, Burned my chest. I vape and try to lower the ciggs with the flavor.

Currently vaping on my X-Cube Ultra with Mutation xS RDA Dual Build Clapton (0.44ohm) And 85 watts, Cloud Niner Mango+Milkman 3mg with some mixed 23 more flavors....Now today I'm really curious...Why I never got any satisfaction from vaping? It never happened in last 1 year that I said "Okay I don't need to smoke now"

So will I die tryin? Tried with cheap 24mg juices even (Comes with 10ml bottle - Vaporfi etc) and with those, holding the breath.

Now I'm totally confused with "what to do?" Will I quit vaping and accept lung cancer with smoking? I'm just disapointed....Tried everything, literally everything, but still smoking...Why everyones satisfied with vape and I can't

For some folks it isn't easy at all to quit smoking, it takes a great deal of willpower, desire & commitment no matter the method used.
It is mostly a mental mind set, for me it is, hardly a day goes by that I don't think about cigarettes & smoking.
I made up my mind to quit, vape instead of smoking, for me it is a self forced day by day thing even after all these years without ever holding or lighting one single cig.
I went through 11 months of dual usage, just me, I realized I'd never quit smoking unless I forced myself to vape only.
It took me 6 - 8 months of dealing with frequent intense cravings, cigarette withdraw symptoms & minute by minute of each day was a struggle to not just light up & give up on vaping.

Have you tried a simple MTL delivery device similar to a nautilus mini with 1.8Ω bvc heads, 12 - 18 mg/ml nic, 50/50 - 40/60 Pg/Vg at 9w - 14w?

Everyone is different, for me the subΩ, DTL, free / large airflow type vaping severely increases the frequency of cravings & my desire to smoke, even now.
That is 1626 days / 4.45 years after I smoked my last cig.

Have you tried WTA or NET liquids, some folks found success in quitting using them, not me, but some folks.

Have you tried finding hobbies that occupy your time or daily vigorous exercise?

 

[Bonskibon]

I second the advice of trying MTL vaping and see how that works for you. Don't give up!

 

[Opinionated]

If I were you I would try a nice mouth to lung tank and a lower wattage device.. it's much nicer..

Maybe you aren't quite there yet. If you have to use both, you are still not smoking as many as when you were only smoking. The ones you don't smoke still count towards the goal.

Try a MTL set and see if that helps some. I think many of us tried different gear and juice before we found the one that worked for us. If you are trying to copy your cigs, try a juice that is nothing like a cig. Maybe even some really old school gear like a cigalike or an ego vape pen would be worth a shot.

One thing that helped me was to keep my old pack around and know that if there was an emergency, I could still have a smoke, but for all the other times I would choose to vape instead. I still have that old stale pack, but haven't needed it yet.

Ha... I do the same thing. Whatever works right?

 

[r77r7r]

Ha, took me 5 yrs to throw out the last pack. Still have the 2 ashtrays to throw away yet... It got a good grip.

I remember when I was young and trying to improve my behavior, I got very frustrated trying to get Rid of it. What ended up working fine was taking the focus off of it and focusing and practicing the Good behavior that I wanted. Giving the negative any attention gave it power over me..

 

[ruet]

How about 18-36mg liquid at 15-20 watts with a lo-medium airflow atomizer?

I used both vape and cigarettes for around six, maybe even nine, months. One day, I realized that I had not had a cigarette for a while. Which is to say that for me there was no "no smoke" moment. Actually it just happened. During my six or so months, I really did not criticize myself using both but rather accepted the good fact that my consumption of cigarettes was dwindling, slowly but dwindling.

I will add that I did try but never stayed with complicated low Ohm builds. They, for me, were too hot and irritating. I stayed between 1 and 1.4 Ohm's with a simple single coil - first on a Provari and later with a REO and RM2. I still use the REO with the RM2 to this day at the same resistance. This setup and build was nothing write home about but, in the end, I am a former smoker.

 

[classwife]

Some nice suggestions...but...what do you want from your vape ?

 

[DeAnna2112]

I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself. Like someone else pointed out, every vape is one less cig your smoking, that's progress. Some people can quite right away others it takes months of working at it. I still think about cigs and when i do i vape and i quickly forget about it. It does take time as well to figure out what works for you as far as vaping, juice, gear and so forth. Just keep working at it and you will find what works. Right now you have figured out what doesn't so your just not there yet but you will be if you stick with it.

 

[VHRB2014]

Never been a big fan of dual use. IMHO, it set`s you up for failure.

From reading the OP's previous threads and from my own experiences & frustrations, seems like he wants the mythical vape experience that is perpetuated all over the interwebz.

The magic bullet, the one that kills any & all desire to ever smoke another cigarette, a vaping experience that makes even the thought of smoking seem vile. One that makes the transition painless, easy, rapid & permanent like so many others say theirs was.

Problem is for quite a few it is very difficult to let go of the cigs, even more difficult to stay off of them long term and all but impossible to equal ones personal satisfaction experience with cigs using any combination of the thousands of vaping options.

* Not to hijack the OP's thread.

I haven't saved a penny vaping over smoking, the cost of the 328 cartons of cigs I haven't bought since I started vaping doesnt come close to the amount I've spent looking for this magic bullet.
I have found 'what works best for me' but it is dang sure no magic bullet.

The only thing that actually keeps me from smoking is willpower, my willpower comes mostly from my wife & dear sweet 88 year old mothers wish that I do not smoke.
All some folks need is the knowledge cigarettes are killing them or even they just stink to have enough willpower to quit.

While all the success stories are a pleasure to read, they really can jack with folks minds that wonder why they can't seem to find their own personal magic bullet.

Sometimes one has to accept 'what works' as the best option.
Understand not everyone finds a magic bullet that eliminates all desire to smoke.
If you can't afford the search or are in part of the world where vaping is restricted or limited you gotta learn to ignore the mythical magic bullets you hear about and struggle & fight through the desire to smoke using willpower & 'what works best'.


Of course, IMO.

Sorry about the long winded 'jack'.

Your right about this you know... in the end, we are addicts. The addictive desire for something that is bad for us, that we shouldn't want.. we still sometimes do anyway. No rhyme or reason, it just is. It's called addiction.

 

[HauntedMyst]

My magic bullet was much higher mg at much lower watts. I started around 24 mg but quickly moved down to around 12 on a mech mod with a 1.2ish ohm coil. Deep rich flavor, satisfying hit and enough clouds. I can't vape sub ohm at high watts. It's flavorless to me and a waste of batteries. What range of vaping have you tried? It seems a lot of new users jump right into sub ohming and high watts because that's the off the shelve equipment today in most shops.

Very well said and even i sat back and found your words very encouraging in my own battle to stay off the cigs. A lot of points you made hit home for me.

 

[mountaingal]

I feel for you. It is really hard to want to quit and not be able to. I wish you well. I vape 20mg/ml at 18watts, and I guess I do mouth to lung, I never quite understood what all "that" fuss was about. Sometimes, I inhale and some times I just let it roll around my mouth. It is all a learning curve, please keep trying. But, as others have said, any cig you give up for a vape is a victory!

 

[Asbestos4004]

Cloud chasing dual fused Claptons would've never gotten me to quit smoking. Ironically, an ego pen with a clearo did. Then a cartomizer worked. But that's me.

You have to want to quit. That's the magic bullet.

An old timer once gave me a mini lecture about will power. It ended with a test. He told me to eat 3 boxes of exlax and jump in my car. He said to drive from Atlanta to Miami and use my will power to keep from stopping at a restroom. He predicted my car would be for sale just south of the Atlanta airport.

The story was really just for laughs....But in my own experience, will power doesn't get me very far....Nor does thinking. Action... That's the ticket.

 

[DeAnna2112]

you gotta want it..seriously that's the secret. If your not ready nothing you do will make it happen...not vaping no gum or patch. Maybe your not ready but just remember every vape you take is one less cig..it's progress.

 

[Kickingthesticks]

It will never be like smoking. Heck I don't think I'm ever satisfied. For me it just gets rid of the cravings for a smoke or dip. The rest is up to your own will power. Like others have said you got to really want to quit.
