The problem with vaping

[howie65]

It would seem I'm fairly normal then .It was just the wife she has never been a smoker.
I get comments like " that's not giving up smoking if you are puffing on that all the time "
My standard answer is "Can you smell smoke ? No well shut up then"
Some strange reason I feel hungry just lately

I have found that vaping doesn't curb the appetite like smoking did ( more chemicals in the cigs I guess) I also chain vape at certain times, but I think tat you get less nicotine from vaping.
Work seems much better , every hour or so I nip to the loo and find that I'm never gagging for a cig like I was come breaktime.
Even 3 or 4 puffs can keep me going for an hour or more.

Too right.

Vaping nicotine curiously seems less able to curb the munchies....

I also find my habit less "peaky" than it used to be. I had 4 puffs on a mini 510 tonight and lasted 2+ hours. How can that be? 2 puffs on an analogue and I think I'd have been wanting more within minutes.

Weird. ???

Good for you.

Only 1 of my friends or work colleagues has said "well done" to me for quitting the fags. The rest seem to see "smoke" and call it fire?

They have no idea do they ?

Another thing is I'm getting to the point where I can't stand cigarette smoke it just stinks and if someone lights one up now I have to smile and walk away !!!

Reading this has made me feel so much better!

I use mine at work, and not just during breaks - whenever I leave my desk and walk downstairs to one of the other officers I'll have a puff or two. I'm also still going out for 'cig' breaks, although that's more to get away from the phone for bit and read my book! I do tend to use it a lot in the evenings. I was a bit concerned I might be having too much, but looking at what everyone else has written I'm not anymore. I only got started on Saturday and still have a couple of ml left out of the 10ml bottle of juice that came with my e-cig.

I've been using 18mg nic, but a couple of bottles of 11mg pre-mixed arrived in the post to day so I've switched to those. Certainly don't feel like I'm over-doing it. And anyway, no cigs since Saturday morning so I MUST be on to a winner.

I'm going to stop worrying about it and just enjoy it!

You will know if you overdo it. You'll feel nauseous, headachey, clammy. Do make sure you up your fluid intake as vaping de-hydrates more than smoking. Vape on

Being retired and therefore having none of the usual problems like workplace or work mates to worry about, I wear my e-cig on a lanyard and so it is always "right there" in easy reach.

During previous times when I tried to stop smoking, the hardest part was being very aware of the fact that I was going out without my usual pack of fags in my pocket. Just the act of being seperated from my "drug" made the act of giving up rather sore.

Now that I am vaping, I really don't want to be seperated from my e-cig. I feel more relaxed when I know it is right there.

Now, having said all that, I don't puff away all the time, although I could. Sometimes I even forget that it is there, but when I feel I need a few tokes, that is what I have and then forget about it for a while.
No more having to finish the whole fag just because I wanted a couple of drags. No more burning money just for the sake of a quick inhale.
If a couple of tokes satisfies me, then that is all I have. If however I want a bigger hit, then I up the voltage and get a good hit or three, then leave it alone for a while.

Okay, I am on 24mg, but 3ml a day seems to be about my norm.
