If you know for certain what you were spending on cigarettes, take the actual money and put it in a jar or box. You know you would spend x dollars a pack a day, or xx dollars a carton a week. And that money got spent no matter what. If you had to go without a Starbucks coffee for cigarettes, you would. Take a peanut butter sandwich for lunch so you could buy cigarettes, you would. You always had money for the cigarettes (I am using the word 'you' collectively in this conversation), so take that money and physically put it in a jar or box. That is your vape budget, period. Period. You can only order the dollar amount you have in the box. When the credit card bill comes in, take the box of money and deposit in your bank account and write the check to the credit card company. NO cheating.

So is that what your going to do?
I've already cheated. But pv's last longer than cigs.

I don't think it would be much different. I would still do the same ritual with the atty, I think I would just have a starting point for taste. Now I still guess. With my 2.3ohm atty I still start a sweet/dark juice around 3.6 volts and work it up from there. A tobacco I will start at 4.0 or 4.2 volts, depending on if it is sweetened or not and how dark it is. I am still pretty much guessing, but I don' want to burn it in the atty, so I start low.

I don't know what or if there would be an advantage with a vw device. Like I said either here or another thread, I tried Pluid in a carto tank on a Vamo V2 at 10 watts and it seemed amazing. The taste of the juice was pretty nasty licorice to me, but the vapor and warmth and volume were greater to me. It was a one time experience so I am not sure if I was swept up in the moment or not. That is a possibility.

I am happy with my spinners on the whole. Since I drip, I do not believe it would make a big a difference in the quality of my vaping as if I were using a carto tank or something like that. But I do not know since I am not experienced enough to know if that one time was in my head or actually a better vape. For me, at the moment, it was a better vaping experience.

... and what would it be like if you had vv/vw?

Bianca,

To me it is a little like thinking about your first love (unless you married him). You always will occasionally think back and think about him fondly and forget the bad times. But if you truly think about it, you are probably better off where you are today.

Maybe you should go and get yourself a new juice to try, switch it up a little. Sometimes boredom and routine can trigger an urge in me. Just thoughts, I don't know if they are bad. They just are. I think about what I choose to do with them. I know I do not think of cigarettes for days at a time now. At first it was minutes, then hours. Hopefully it will grow to months. This is coming from someone who has only been vaping about 6 weeks, ending a 2 pad 45 year love/hate affair with cigarettes.



Totally thought about smoking today. Just one of those days. If I hadn't been alone with my little one, I just might have. Wondering if the urge will ever truly go away. I know I don't REALLY want to do it...but sometimes, it just nags at me to have one...or a pack. Sigh.

Shari, you do great analogy!
