Six weeks and I am losing it, help !

I'd recommend a different flavoured juice or twoseveral - something totally unrelated to tobacco

I've not used Joose Juice personally, but many folk recommend the 10ml tasters which Jim will mix up in just about any PG/VG ratio for £1.49

I can however comment on how good joosejuice customer service is, helping people out on the forum


I'm sure someone mentioned have  drink of milk.
& make sure you have several cleros/cartos/attys for quick flavour changes - when something tastes whack, try a different flavour.

Keep at it - you'll get through it

Hi Greenbirdlady.

stay with it you could always try a variable voltage device which allows you to create a lot more vapor at 2-3 weeks my next step was a vamo which was a real game changer for me and great with an iclear 30 on too massive vapour production i will put links below.
www.vapertrain.com/product/vv4ss for full kit latest version 4 vamo including battery and charger.
www.ukecigcabin.com/product/innokin-iclear30-clearomizer for iclear 30.

Otherwise just stay strong and realise that your body is going through a massive change getting rid of all of those toxins even up to a couple of months or more.
Regards
Rich

Oh thank you so much, you are all amazing and so helpful. I hadn't been able to get back until now so I am going to look at all the links and suggestions you have made. I actually tried vaping for the first time 4 years ago but didn't last long!! Things have changed so much, I am going to have to do some serious homework about all the devices you can get now, it's like a foreign language!!

I had read somewhere about the PG/VG ratio and high PG causing dry throat but hadn't a clue where to find VG. Well, I got a clue now so will definitely get some and try some different flavours. Also, I tried the milk, it works !!!!

Thank you all again, I will let you know what I decide on.

Hang on in there - I'm about the same time in as you and I found moving to non tobacco type juices helped. I usually have about four different ones on the go.

As said above, try different clearos/tanks/attys. Have you changed the head/coil on your current one? It could just be that it's seen its best days, and needs re-coiled / re-wicked.

I recommend the Evod, or the mini-protank as a good start off point. But many people will also recommend an iClear 16. They are pretty similar, but the evod/pt are bottom coil, meaning a slightly cooler vape, and the iclear is dual coil on the upper side, giving a warmer vape.

Variable voltage and variable wattage devices are good too, as you can just up the power/voltage to get more of a hit should you feel you need it. I have a Vamo and a SID, but many people start with a spinner (http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Vaping-Spares/Batteries--Passthroughs/Vision-Spinner-1300.html) on their vv journey. So might be worth looking at.

Then there are all the different flavours and pg/vg ratios to try.

I'm quite sure you will find some combination of remedies to get you through this, but at the end of the day, don't fret if you do have a cig. You will likely find it tastes horrible anyway, and wonder why you craved it so much. I know I did after my first one a little over 2 weeks in. Didn't stop me having a second one mind, but I couldn't vape at the time until I got home. I didn't worry in the slightest though, and just continued to vape when I got home and haven't had another since.

Just wing it. Nobody said stopping smoking was easy, but this was is a lot easier than any other way (I'm told, I have never tried or wanted to give up before, so I don't really know how hard other methods are, lol).

Had exactly the same problem last week ....I could of murdered a ciggie felt very very agited ....I have tried some fruit type e juices and really liking griswolds black jack flavour ....stick with it...think about all the down sides to smoking, the smell on your clothes and personally felt so ill smoking, I have been smoking for 35 years at about 20-30 a day, think also the first few weeks your so aware of the achievement and then the cravings hit like a thunderbolt...I did move from 18mg to 24mg so that might help ...wishing you all the best

Hmmm. How old is the atomizer? I doubt I could vape for long on the atomizer and tank system so "loved" (not) by vapers.

Have you got a new atomizer? can you pop down the shop and get one?

Personally, I'd switch system immediately and get your vaping back on track. You don''t need new batteries and all that by the way.

Maybe I'm being harsh or just plain biased, but too many people complain about getting bad tastes, burning sensations, coughing fits, dry throat and all this from the tank system. It upsets me that Totally Wicked still sell it when they have some excellent clearomisers and RCS devices, albeit a little pricey.
If I had a pound for every local vaper who was using the tank system and took a free clearo off me to try, I'd be quite well off. (or, I'd get a pound back for every £5 clearo lost, which would make me poorer, but never mind. ??? )

There is a chap at the golf club who was struggling. He was ready to quit vaping. I gave him an evod and a Vision V3. Now he uses those and the Totally Wicked RCS devices (even I tried one!)...

That's really interesting, hmm! I'm forever getting a sudden sort of burning taste. I had this Titan Tank the last time I tried, I have bought new atomisers but after a short while usual problem. I am definitely going to change, just have to get my head round all the talk that is new to me, coils, wicks etc. There seem to be so many different devices these days.

I will be back later, I have a hospital appointment this afternoon I am dreading. Nothing terrible, just I had revision hip surgery a year ago with bone grafts. It's been a long recovery and I still get pain some days. Other days it's really good, can't work it out. Today I get an xray that will tell me if things are as they should be and if the bone grafts have taken. It's strange, bit of stress and hankering after the cigs again. Roll on tonight, I will know one way or the other !!¬

That's because the Titan Tanks can't keep up wicking Greenbirdlady . . . there's considerably better available which will give you a far more satisfying and enjoyable vape.

Good luck with your hospital appointment.
