don't worry about smoking a couple of ciggies in the early days of vaping. It can take time to get a set up that suits you and juice flavour/strength that suits you! It's a bit of an experiment in the beginning

Once you get a set up that suits you it'll be easy to totally give up the ciggies. At the moment, count the ones you don't smoke not the ones you do!

The increased strength today has sure kept me off the ciggies, I had 3 left at 10am and still had 3 left 5 minutes ago, until I smoked one and put it out half way through!

I don't think I'll buy any more when they are gone, the ecig didn't seem quite strong enough yesterday. Today, however, I've gone the other way. Having intended to order 2 x 10ml bottles of 24mg, I seem to have accidentally ordered 36mg - and it's strong! Is there any way of watering it down?

 Hi Vicki and welcome 

Did you buy the same flavour juice as your 18mg one? If so mix the 2 together 50/50 and you may get the right nic strength.

Thanks - that's what I've done this evening and it seems OK. To be honest, I think the 36mg might be OK for work days - I'm a teacher and always rush out for a ciggie at breaktime and one never seems like enough - if I use the 36mg I'll get my fix quicker (and if I'm discreet and noone is in the planning room, I can even do it indoors ). BUT in the evenings I think I'll end up being a bit of a chain vaper now that I am free to vape indoors without stinking out the house, so probably need a lower strength for that. Just ordered two spare clearomisers so I can switch juice easier and a few 5ml sizes from paradise vape in exciting flavours - they do vanilla coke flavour, so my life is now perfect!

Hi Vicki, and welcome to the forum! I'm a teacher too, and although I'm peripatetic and travel around by car, allowing me to vape as I drive, I find that my nicotine craving has decreased considerably in the 6 months that I've been vaping. I don't get so teasy whilst working, and don't feel the need for a 'fix' as much as I used to. There are times when I get back in the car after a four-hour non-stop session, and don't immediately reach for the vapestick as I would have done for a fag.
Stick with it, once you have the right kit and the right juice, you'll be quids in!
Looking forward to hearing about your successes (and failures, we've all had them!),

Andy
