First tough day

[mel]

Been vaping and off the stinkys for about a month. I'm still laid up after my foot op (I suffer from c m t). So still can't get out and about on my own. I'm still enjoying vaping trying different juices and clearomizers. My fiancé bought me an itaste ep for my handbag. Think today it was just a case of boredom and the sun shining, I had my first real crave which lasted most of the day. Has anyone else been like this after this length of time?

Yep, the Craving can be hard BUT I can assure you (Cos I've had a Fag since I started Vaping) Fags taste NASTY, honestly, AND they dont cure the Craving, you'll still want "summat" stick with Vaping, order different Flavour Juices, you'll be surprised what you like when you try some exotica, GINGER???? ANISEED?? CINNAMON??? Just be a bit careful as some Strong Flavours can damage/crack Tanks

Thanks I will. I keep swapping my flavours but think I need to try something different as I seem to be getting numb to the ones I have. I mixed blackcurrant with apple just for a different taste and that seems to be helping. Tomorrow is another day

It's good if you can resist but many vapers ... Me included ...take a fair while to completely cut out the fags ... Took me about 3 months ... With the odd one or two after that to completely eradicate the habit . Some long time vapers still can't lose that early morning cuppa and one fag ritual ...

Some here may disagree but if your having that bad a time of it just have one ... It will taste awful and just re-affirm your desire to stop .... There's no point getting too stressed over it ... In time the cravings will go completely ...

Good luck over the coming days

the best thing i have found to kill a craving quick though, this is my method and what i do not sure about others
i grab my vape gear and puff away like a chimney lol take huge puffs normally what you wouldn't do but it does kill the cravings... nicotine rushes will always kill cravings.

I totally agree with spikus....IF you feel the urge that bad then just have one....It does taste nasty....really nasty...I have been a duel fuel ( Both fags and vape ) Since September last year....but just today I may have found the flavour that will have me vaping and wanting to vape without the need for the stinkies....it all takes time but do not beat yourself up about it...dont struggle either...I think we can sometimes put wayyyy too much pressure on ourselves and it makes the craving worse...count how many you have not had not how many you do have.....Have a dabble with some stronger flavours, be more adventurous and try, flavours I did never think I would like have turned out to be my faves.....have you a bricks and mortar shop near you where you could try a few flavours?  Have you checked the vape meets to see if there is one close by where you could try the different flavours and gear and find the one for you....is there a member living close by that you could maybe meet up with to have a tasting session etc....
I shall be looking at doing some sort of pay it forward thing with juices very soon......where someone has a flavour they do not like and post it on to a newer member to try....and the circle continues some how....
Good luck over the next few days......

Hi Mel as others have said I think you would probably find a stinkie quite revolting but don't put too much pressure on yourself if the craving is that strong just have one. I know boredom can make the craving much stronger so try to distract yourself if possible

mel I think many of us have been there at times.
Best advice I can give is that if you do lapse, be kind to yourself about it...
When I'm very low (I've bipolar disorder) I occasionally reach without thinking (especially early in the morning) and, because it's my nature, flagellate myself (not physically, just so not interested in that).
So... once again, it's hard to be kind to oneself and easy to be unkind - if you lapse, give yourself permission to be kind to yourself.

Stick at it! I think I "got over" analogues after a month and a half. Weird thing is, after getting bored with fruit and sweet flavours I went on to tobacco style juices, a good RY4 or Flue Cured Leaf is my all day vape now!

You might want to keep two completely different flavours tanked and ready and swap during the day. I've been quite happy with RY4 (sweet to me!) and the Flue Cured for the last month. Now I've swapped out the RY4 for Gold & Silver.

Ofc, I have some insane micro-coiled widget full of Jack the Ripple when I get back home Variety is the spice of life!

If all else fails one hit of 36mg RY6 should do it
