rounding third and heading home...
New vapor here. Got an ego kit with some big and small cartos about 3 weeks ago. I love vaping but haven't been able to put the analogs down yet. I did go from about 25 a day (full strength 100's) down to about 6 or 7 though! If it wasn't for this forum though, I wouldn't have the high hopes to continue at it til the stinkies are gone, I would have probably given up. I started with an order of MBV juice at 24mg, then on my second order got a 36mg juice. This seems to make a difference. I don't know how much of it is my vape technique, but my cravings seem lower at the 36 level. I'm in an extremly stressful period of my life right now too - what to do? On ECF I learned a little about WTA ejuice. Hmmm... Instead of firing an order for new flavors, or more 36mg juice to my original vendor, why not try WTA? After browsing this forum and Aroma's site, I think this might be the ticket! I'd like to find an ejuice that reminds me of a M 100, a kind of straight out tobacco taste. I do understand that no ejuice is really going to mimic the taste of burning tobacco, but I still have hope for something substitutable... The other vendor's 555 reminds me more of eating a caramel than tobacco. But I'm learning I also like other flavors, such as fruit or dessert types. With limited funds, what to order? I decided I have to try the Snickerdoodle and I also picked Dark Honey Tobacco (because so many other people loved It.) So what more straight up tobacco flavor to try? I went with GI Joe - hope it's not a mistake... (All at 24mg) Well the order's in now, guess we'll see. Anyone have any input or suggestions?

try all their tobacco favors, they're all great. I love dk-tab, beatle juice, ry4 and.... oh heck try 'em all. they are the best and make it so much easier to quit smoking.

Update -

Still struggling with the analogs and the stress but the WTA is helping.

D.H.T. - Great vape, just not an ADV at this point
Snickerdoodle - Also a great vape but not an ADV at this point
G I Joe - The same but at times it mysteriously pulls me back in!

New Order - Didn't necessarily pick the flavors I would have if everything had been in stock (except for the Beatle Juice)

DK Tab - Quality eliquid with WTA, but the flavor just isn't for me. Smooth vape though.
Tobacco Road - Also a quality liquid but the flavor's even worse than the DK Tab (obviously this is very subjective)
Beatle Juice - Just got my new cartos and loaded some Beatle Juice up:vapor:. I don't have a handle on what this juice will mean to me yet, but I can definitely say it looks very promising!

Just remember the 555 is terrible. You don't even want to think about ordering it because its terrible. It will make you want to stand on your head for hours at a time it's so terrible. I think your on the right track with Beatle juice and should keep trying that one ;-)

I really believe WTA can help someone struggling to quit smoking.

Please nobody take this the wrong way: In the end it still all depends on you. Your willingness, your willpower, your belief in yourself. Vaping, vaping WTA liquid, nothing comes close enough to give me exactly what I got from cigarettes. A month ago a friend of mine was staying with us. Something stressful was going on back home and she spent some time on our back porch talking on the phone and smoking cigarette after cigarette. I was so jealous! I remember how good that was in such circumstances! I can vape my ... off and never, ever get that again. It never goes away.
I, on the other hand, am the subject of envy for very different reasons. I am free, enlightened, cool, healthy, and smell like like a daisy. Because that is what I choose.

I believe you're right. I've been a bit unrealistic - I've been taking the smoke some analogs and you'll realize one day that it's been a week since you had one approach, but I've been expecting it to happen in a matter of days. I probably need to be more willing to not pick up the analogs and take advantage of the WTA's help. I had a day a few days ago when I was out of analogs and refused to stop at the gas station on the way home. I figured I could always hop in the car if it got too difficult. Well, I lasted all day til I went to work. Never did hop in that car! Guess there's a lesson in there somewhere?

The one thing everybody agrees on is whatever you do, however much you do it, is an improvement. For many people it's not as easy as they'd like, but focusing on the positives that will continue to reveal themselves over time can make it much more rewarding and successful.

Not only does this chap find impossible to find devices he's a closet philosopher as well :)
He's also a chemist in disguise! (personal joke there)

Maybe he's this guy?

Thanks snork. Now that I've got my head a little straighter as far as vaping and analogs, what's the chance you can help me straighten out my love life? My life's been like a country song lately - the wife left, the dog got run over, and the bank wants to take the family farm...:blink:

    Don't put undue pressure on yourself. It doesn't always happen overnight for everyone. One mistake I made was guilting myself almost into depression when I had a slip. That's no way to go. Instead think positively about how many you didn't have that day/week/month. If you need a little extra boost then you might consider trying snus. I have been using it for a few years now along with vaping.

    Thanks hittman. If it wasn't for the encouragement I get from reading other peoples experiences on ECF, I might have given up already. Now, I plan to persevere.
