Smoking versus Vaping

[Deleted]

Ok, I'm going to assume you are all ex smokers, so based on that, would you honestly say you vape more or less than you smoked?

Personally I 'think' I vape less than I smoked. I was a 30 a day Cutters Choice roll ups smoker. Now I vape about 10ml 18mg in around 3 days.

How about you?

Based on amount of nicotine consumed, I reckon I'm on the equivalent of about 200 fags a day.

It tastes nicer though.

I get through 3 to 4 ml a day when I am at home, when I smoked I got through an ounce of baccy a week or sometimes a bit more. But there is a big difference in that there is a lot less urgency to vape first thing in the morning etc. When I smoked it was the very first thing I did when I woke up was to have a ciggie and there was no way I could have done what I achieved a few weeks ago when I drove for 4 hours after loosing a riva battery, flat gripper batteries and a pass through that wouldn't work in the car. I even stopped at services to see if I could find the riva and didn't buy fags!!!

Only been vaping for a couple of months and not done any measuring yet, so not sure, seems like less to me.

I don't bother much if the battery goes flat when I'm out and about, would have been a big deal to run out of fags when I was smoking, too ashamed to admit how many rollies I was on :-[!

I'd say some days less, but roughly about the same, it's the habit, but i can do without it without climbing the walls

I find it hard to judge. When you smoke a cigarette you puff and puff on it until it is finished. The same doesn't apply to vaping. I might take one or two puffs and not do it again for half hour or so, sometimes i puff constantly for what seems ages. I was on 25 cigs a day, but my vaping habit is far more erratic.

Difference is I can go a lot longer without thinking about vaping than I ever could as a smoker.

LOL Me to.

Wouldn't know how to make a comparison. ??? I smoked around 12.5 gms of rolling baccy a day, (yes, I was a heavy smoker but the baccy was the mildest available) and vape about 3 -4 ml of e liquid a day, so nope, don't have a clue. If anyone can work it out, be my guest!

I was more than that anne....I was 25g of rolling tobacco a day....

Started on 36mg/ml plus nasal spray way back in Sept 2011 (having had a few unsuccessful bashes at the e-cig that summer) and didn't look back

Vaped about 3-5ml depending on equipment per day (variable voltage etc)....

Now on about 5ml of 16mg (I think - tis early days) a day...

Fact is I enjoy the taste and feel of the e-cig sooo much and I know even when I get down to 0% nic I shall still be vaping . However when I need a vape I need a vape but before I couldn't go 30 mins without a cig (and had that early am thing too - chain style)...now I can go 1.5 hours min without a vape no bother

So yeah positive and no nasal spray

Started vaping on 40 cigs a day. The ability to vape in the bog at work outweighs the need to go out in the cold and rain, and I find I'm actually craving less - due to breaking the habits you get while smoking. I vape in the car, at home and in the bog at work, and that's it.

I used to smoke about 8-10 cigs a day. I now vape about 4ml of 18ml juice. Even if I was vaping 40ml of juice, I know which one is better for me just from how much better I feel health wise.

[Clutter]

I chain smoked & I chain vape. I tend to use 0mg in tanks & drip low mg for better flavour & TH. I discovered a couple of days ago that I can get a decent TH vaping 0mg in a DCT @ 5V .

Ciggies were great for procrastination ie I'll do that when I've had a/finished this cigarette. Vaping simply isn't conducive to procrastination

[kibbster]

I would say I vape more often than I smoked.
I guess I'm trying to keep a stable level of nic so I don't crash like I did if I didn't have a smoke for a couple of hours.
When I'm at work I don't vape much for two hour stretches but because I go out with the smokers at breaktimes I chain vape for 15 minutes or more.
At home I will have a couple of vapes every few minutes.
I used to smoke 25 rollups a day.

I think I'm on about 2-3 ml but it's hard to tell as I have 2 mini nova and a STV on the go at a time. But the MPV has a puff counter and the last time I looked it was on about 500 so reset it and don't look at it now
