2 days and struggling

[bear2249]

I stopped the stinkies around 3 years ago for e cigs. After around 4 month a battery died and i ended up stinking again whilst using my ego t.

After buying a decent mod and a KFL. And cobra genny i decided to stop the stinkys again.

This aft i had a little snooze and woke up wiling to kill for a mouth full of cancer. Luckily im in my caravan at the coast with 2 dogs that needed a walk.
I took them out with mummies metal nipple stuck firmly in my mouth and came back again clear.

Just to play it safe and knowing im a fat lazy f&£@cker i sank a bottle of wine while still sucking on metal mama so i couldnt drive to get some some stinkies.

Heres hoping tommorow is better.

You've got to want it, Dude.


Where there is a will there is a way.

Took me a couple of weeks to be ciggy free Bear . . . it doesn't happen overnight for many of us. Don't beat yourself up over the cravings and if having the odd few a day helps get you through it, then do.

To be honest mate. When fully on cigs a nice drink makes me smoke less. Im using my KFL with a lowish nic content and rytual (ry4) and near chain vaping. So ive just put some 24 mg tutti fruiti in the genni for the next bad attack to help kill the urge.

I was going to suggest a higher nic juice, but it looks like you worked it out already.
I often suspect people shy away from the higher nic levels partly due to the anti
Smoking propaganda centered around the notions of evil nicotine. If you over do
The nicotine level then the worst you can get is just the same as you get from
Chain smoking, ie you stop for a bit until your blood levels drop down again.
On the other hand the risks from too low level is that you send yourself back to
Analogues.
Go high, stay off the stinkies!

I think it's an individual thing. The wife and I gave it up and went cold Turkey but never gave in to the cravings.

I was and still am very proud of her.


It is no easy thing to do, but on the bright side it is easier than being an alcoholic trying to go straight. Some things are worse, that's what I kept telling myself in moments of weakness.

I think we all have off vaping days. The fact you're aware and have done some preventative measures speaks volumes!

You CAN do this! We're all here if you need some pep talks *massages shoulders*

[bear2249]

Feeling good again. Hopefully kerping the cobra full for the week times will help.

To be honest i dont know why i xant change brands now.
The last time i started E was when my little girl was in hospital (21 at the time) i got the E for a sneaky while i was there and stopped the ciggies straight away

I here what you say.
In testing the nic in the genni my heart started pounding a bit. Put it down for a while and picked up the KFL. alls well again

[silentscream]

Keep at it bear, you'll get there in the end mate If you lasted four months last time no reason you can't get back into your stride again.

markm, go high is good advice. I am smoking only 24mg types at the moment and am high as a kite lol.

The reason im giving it a big push is i converted my dad a year ago. It took nearly a year but ive now converted my mum who has had a recent cancer scaire.

Im always telling her its the way ahead but feel a tw@ for still using cigs.

I dont go through often due to distance and milage but itl be nice to share juices when i go to see them.

When I made the switch I had times like this and chain vaped till I made myself nic sick and couldn't stand the site of either lol. I spent a lot of money straight out the gate to make the switch and that has been the main drive for me.

I dual fueled for a couple of days when I started vaping and one day I went all day without a cigarette without even realising. From that point I did not look back, but until recently I still craved those dirty stinkies.

Daft question, but are you on the nicotine strength that is right for your craving? This may help.

I smoked for 42 years and enjoyed smoking, but I didn`t want all the bad chemicals that went with the fags.

I still class myself as a smoker, but just a more healthier smoker with e-cigs.

As Perpetua has said "it doesn`t happen overnight". So a fag now again won`t hurt.

The mind is very powerful so keep saying to yourself I don`t want to smoke fags I want to smoke using e-cigs and you will achieve your goal.

You definitely want to give up fags otherwise you wouldn`t have joined this excellent site. Therefore, you are most definitely going in the right direction.

Be strong and you will succeed.
