All day without a vape.

OMg - went to work today as usual. Picked up my tobacco tin. (i keep my e cig spares and liquid in it). Put in my bag with my sandwiches and my flask and the other nibbles i seem to need now my appetite has got stronger.

I'm working in St Leonards which is about 15 miles from where i live. Anyway i got to work and got stuck in for couple of hours. Stopping every half hour or so for a chuff on my e cig.
At about 10.00am when i have a tea break my e cig ran out of liquid. I thought, just right, i'll top it up during my break (i sit in my van). I ate my grub and poured a coffee and went to fill my cartridge and ooooohhhh noooooo. I hadn't put my e liquid in my baccy tin.

I went from 10.00am till 6.00pm (when i got home) with only a couple of dry vapes that tasted awful.

I didn't crack though. I wanted some nicotine but didn't revert to going and buying 10 fags. The thought did creep into my mind i will admit.

I'm pretty pleased with myself.

I'm pretty sure too that i will not be in that position again......lol

Well done Del. After having smoked for 46 years and vaping for almost 2 years, I'm not sure that I would have been able to do that.

[delboy]

I certainly wouldn't do it on purpose. Not yet anyway.

Interesting that i coped. I'm quite encouraged by that.

It was nice when i got home . Filled up and had a nice loooooooong vape.....lol

Well done Del for not cracking!! Bet you feel well chuffed!

Done it myself and it's a mistake you only make once . . . in the morning I check, double check and triple check that my little bottle of work juice is in my pocket.

Infact, I think I'll leave a little bottle in my locker at work now . . . just in case!

Nice one Del, I'm sure you won't be repeating that mistake again!

Congrats Delboy.
I have been there and I was not as strong, but saying that it was a horrid experience and was all too happy to get home and chuck the smokes in the bin.

Regards

I'm normally so careful to make sure i have enough supplies to get me through the day....and to cover any emergency ( e cig wise ) that may crop up.

So i'm slightly shocked to not have taken my liquid this morning. Nor to have had a spare Pre-filled cartridge. I left myself well and truly up ***t creek with no paddle.

Still, no harm done. But a valuable lesson learnt.

Well done Del, I know it's a bit scary but it's suprizing that you can cope when on ecigs, I know I'd never have got through my recent week away if I'd have been a analogue smoker.

I really believe that ecigs are far more psychologically based, it's more the habit of hand to mouth rather than the use of nicotene
