An update

[vapourized]

Well it's a week ago today that I gave up the fags and started vaping and I love it. There are so many reasons why I love it but I think the main reason is that it has bought the relaxing part of smoking back again, I can now sit in the lounge on the settee and vape away to my hearts content with no smell and no smokey atmosphere and enjoy the deep inhales and throat kicks just as if I was smoking but I'm not - brilliant! No more standing out in the freezing cold or pouring rain either.

It's been a great success and so glad I started and will be vaping for a while yet, I was planning in quitting by about Christmas but I like it so much I can't see that happening, I may try easing down on the nicotine as the months go by but I will see how it goes as I have no intention on rushing it.

As regards this forum then what can I say, without the help and advice I've had in this very short time then I certainly would not be having a ball vaping like I am at the moment and I know that any questions that I have (and I know that there's going to be loads ) then you friendly bunch of folk will help me out very quickly without being stroppy about it like some forums when a newbie asks questions.

My kit is limited at the moment but I can see that increasing in a rapid way, going onto the vaping websites adverting all that great stuff is just too tempting and my card is going to be red hot by the end of the month but I'm still not spending as much as if I was smoking so I'm not bothered to be honest.

Anyway, I just thought I'd bring you up to speed as to where I am at the moment and when I receive some other bits tomorrow which I ordered on the weekend then I'll let you know how I've got on.

Well done Graham, just watch the Girlies here they'll try and indoctrinate you into the world of purchasing, vaping Ninja style and the lure of the shinies is strong in them!

Thanks for the replies folks, much appreciated, I do have one minor problem and that is that I love this so much that I can't put it down, I'm constantly vaping when I get home from work, swapping between one thing to another, both my Rivas, rechargeable and disposable 10 Motives (I just love the taste of those). It's the equivalent of chain smoking constantly. the only time I'm not vaping is when I'm eating!!

I'm now able to get huge amounts of vapour to inhale and slowly exhale it at the same time drawing on the next drag, direct inhaling, you name it and I'm doing it - this seems to have become incredibly addictive and feel the need to vape all the time. I just hope this eases off a bit - well in a way I don't but you know what I mean.

Is this what happened to you when you first started vaping? (I'm putting it down to being a novelty ) I'm surprised my wife hasn't said anything but as she is now vaping too (along with the occasional cigarette) then maybe she understands how good it is.

Well I chain vape, a lot of us do, examine why you do, do you feel a craving for a nicotine hit, or is it just that you can't keep away from the flavour. If it's the former then you might need to up your nicotine content to keep the cravings away, then you can decrease it over time.

If it's the latter.... you're hooked!

I'm pretty sure it's not the nicotine, nope, it's more to do with the flavour and the amount of vapour I can get - the more vapour I can get along with the throat hit then the more I want. I've got batteries on charge everywhere so that I've got something charged up so if one goes flat then I've got an immediate replacement.

So from what you are saying then it seems like that I'm not out of the ordinary which is reassuring to know so I'm going to carry on chain vaping without feeling guilty and enjoy every minute of it.

I think I'm addicted to the habit of hand to mouth ............ I can go pretty much all day without vaping if I'm busy , although I do like a crafty stealth wherever I am , maybe thats just the devilment

[vapourized]

...and completely off topic but where (how) can I get one of those groovy sig pics which says how long you've been vaping for? Are they only available after you've posted so many posts? If not, can I have one please? Pretty please - it will give me encouragement to see this creeping up each day.

Well done Graham sounds like you are doing really well. There is no doubt that the hand to mouth and clouds of vapour is a big part of it - you will soon know if you are taking in too much nicotine! I nearly passed out a couple of times when I first started
You may find you ease up a bit as time goes by like I have, but I use high nic juice. Others use lower nic and carry on enjoying chaining. I guess it depends on the relative importance of all the different psychological factors involved to you.
