Well. How about a little yoga? Just stand or sit in a nice comfy position and do some deep breathing (in class we do it through the nose only). And you can add in some gentle stretches. Or just try Corpse pose! Even spray some yummy perfume to enjoy. Relax and be happy about making this switch...you're doing something so good for yourself!

So.. today is my first day with no analog and I reallly want to keep it that way. I've only started vaping yesterday, and last night only had three analogs.

I know you guys probably get this question a lot but I can't tell if I'm withdrawing or vaping too little or too much. I used to smoke about a pack a day of marlboro red 100s and my e-juice nic level is 18mg. I've been vaping moderately, when I feel the need for a cigarette I take probably 5-6 puffs of vapor every hour or so. I drink a lot of coffee so my heart rate is up from what I am suspecting is more-so the caffeine than the vapor. My symptoms are sweating lots(ew), and a mild headache. Not really dizzy, but my body is sore.

Thanks for responses in advanced!

This was my reaction as well, it will pass. The body goes through a lot of changes making the transition - hydrate, and watch the caffeine for a while.

Some people quit smoking, start vaping and feel no withdrawal symptoms at all. I wasn't like that. I was pretty edgy for the first three days and didn't feel all that good. By the end of the first week I was feeling good, but still got a lot of cigarette cravings.

I was smoking a pack and a half of Camel Blues a day for 35 years. 24 mg liquid worked well for me. I followed the same rule as you and spent about twice the amount of time vaping that I spent smoking each cigarette. The mod I used then was a single voltage 1100 mAh eGo type with a removable battery. If I was vaping the same gear then as I am today I probably would have spent less time vaping at first. I get more vapor with the newer set-up.

During the first days vape on about the same schedule as you used to follow when you smoked, but spend more time at it. Within a few days the vaping will do a better and better job of eliminating the craving. My nerves were on edge too. Quitting smoking can be stressful so stress-related symptoms like headaches, sweating, raised pulse rates, etc. are common. Do whatever you can to eliminate the stress. Taking walks and bike rides helped me, so did watching some rented flix in the evening.

Keep at it. Your goal is making it through each day at a time. Then go for the three day goal. Reward yourself for hitting it. Then shoot for the big one week goal. It's downhill from there.

Thank you! ;)
No, I'm smoking Harvest Moon from Rocket Fuel Vapes (tastes good btw, like big red gum).
It's only 18mg nic.

Nope, wanted to make sure I start things off on the right foot so I could have the highest possible chance at kicking analogs.

I did the same, I didn't want to try something that might fall short ... my first 2 devices were an eVic, then Provari, and now, I am at my perfect vape.

you might want to try IBTanked wildxcard ... they work great on the Provari :cool:

I actually ordered one of their tanks, just waiting for it to come in.
I got a big daddy xl, and an ibtanked xl, and a phiniac phrostie tank on the way.
I really like the big daddy though. ;3

I've been dizzy from chain vaping too much when I started vaping. I initially had 24mg and realized I needed the throat hit and constant chain vaping more than the nic. I dropped to 12mg and I've been happy ever since.

I haven't been chain vaping.. maybe that could be my problem. LOL.

After reading this thread the only thing I would offer is to drop by your local vape shop and find a tobacco flavored juice. I went from analog to vape with no noticable side effects. I really attribute that to not changing my environment too drastically all at once. And yes I definitely vaped more initially but did it with a tobacco flavor.
Just my 2 cents.

Harvest Moon is a tobacco flavor, lol. The flavor has nothing to do with the amount of nicotine in the juice I don't think? I don't mind that it doesn't taste like an analog like I initially thought I would, and the longer I don't smoke an analog I'm finding the taste from the vaping just keeps getting better.
