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.

I think ive finally got the nic strenght about right. I mix my own and was making it around 24 but due to getting nic high all the time due to chain vaping my usuall vape is around 12. Hopefully the premix 24 in the cobra will kill the odd urge.

Like you say im still a smoker just using a different brand

I keep a couple of strengths mixed Bear and swop between them depending on the situation . . .  hope you have a better day today.

Keep at it , it will get easier ! Hope today's a better one !! Keep up the higher nic , the worst that than happen is a head rush then you just stop till you need more !! I tend to swap and change usually 18 on a morning and 6 or 8 to chain vape at night but still have an emergency clearo full of 24 for when I have a wobble !!

All is well again today.
Woke up this morning wanting the taste of the Rytual more than a cig.

Happy for you mate  ...  one day at a time and don't count the ciggies you have, count the ones you avoid ...  you will get there at your own pace.

That's brilliant news and just think to yourself when that feeling comes over you again, as it might, that it will pass and did last time.

Just stick in there and you'll be fine, I occasionally get offered a stinky when I'm out but the last time I took one I had one puff off it and proceeded to stub it out, pulled out my mod and puffed away on that. I couldnt stand the taste of the stinky and still cant now!

[bear2249]

Cheers for all the comments.

I think if i get the urge again ill just walk past some one with a stinky. I went past some one today and christ it stank.

Think i might have to invest in another KFL so i can keep the higher strength with me. The Cobra is a good vape but tends to get messy unless its kept upright.

Keep going bear !!!

Stick with it mate. if not for the savings or your health, then think you are "sticking it to the man"

Less tax at the moment than fags!!

[Debbie13]

Well done on sticking to it...we all have a moment of weakness ..dont feel bad....keep going...you are doing great

Day 4

And ive cracked all day today ive been chain vaping like a train on steroids. Around 5 ish i started getting chest pains and palpitations so put down the vape and bought 10 stinkies.

I dont think the chain vaping was down to needing nic but more needing the taste. I tried putting the cobra on with the tuttie fruiti but still got no taste.

Just hope tomorrow brings a better taste.

I think you're right I am convinced the taste and sensation in the mouth sends the physiologically message to the brain that all is well. It's not easy for everyone (I found switching a struggle) and you will get there. I could be wrong but tuttie fruiti is not yet a taste your brain maybe assosiates with having a cig, that all is well feeling. I have been doing a lot of reading today and over the pond a lot of new vapers vape unflavoured e liquid at first, to get used to the switch, then start to add flavours. Might not be something you want to try but just thought I'd share in case it helps. Don't beat yourself up and count the cigs you haven't smoked in the last few days.

Ye ive decided it is the taste more than any thing else. 

I love the RY4 taste. Once i got the nic strength sorted i didnt fancy a smoke too much and thinking back to the other day i lost the taste then too.


Ive just made up a new batch of juice and added a little extra flavour.
