Vaping too much!

[Phoenix .]

I find that I am vaping far too much, I know there are some of you that say you can't vape too much but, I have found sooo many lovely juices , I am just swapping all day, I don't vape away from home never occurs to me

I have 12mg strength do you think if i upped the strength I wouldn't need to vape so much? have vaped for 2yrs now and reduced strength gradually. Vape far far more than I smoked cigs.

Not sure what the answer is here Phoenix . - if you raise your nicotine levels you are undoing all the progress you have made over the last 2 years, and you may vape as much on a higher strength juice anyway!
I don't know what your usual setup is, but have you considered using something which packs more punch so you reach satisfaction more quickly? Using Dual Coil atties if you are currently on single coil, or using something with VV or better still VW to raise the power to your device?
I'm sure others will say it so I'll say it first - does it really matter at the end of the day!? You aren't smoking, and if vaping keeps you off tobacco, should you really be worrying? I find personally that the nicotine craving is nowhere as intense as the tobacco cravings used to be, and I can go far longer if needs be without a vape than I could have done without a smoke.
Perhaps you should set yourself little targets throughout the day, rather than just vaping whenever. Say 'I'll not vape again until 12 o'clock or until I've finished what I'm doing' might help regulate things; you might find that a week of doing this will settle things down and your body won't want the vaping that you have now noticed.
Just a few thoughts, hope this helps

If it's keeping you off the cigs and you're enjoying it, why worry? I find that whereas I used to have a fag about once an hour, my vape is never far from my hand. But equally if I'm out or busy I can go without for a lot longer than I could with cigs. So I'm happy

As devices improve their nicotine delivery gets better so we are probably getting a better hit per puff than we used to a couple of years ago.

It's very easy to do a little self experimentation, buy/mix up some higher nic juice say 18mg and try it. If it's too strong just buy some 6mg and mix the 18 with that to lower the nic to a more acceptable level, that way you will not waste any juice or money.

I must admit I was concerned at how much I'm vaping and I'm on 18mg its definitely more than I was smoking purely because I can vape in the house whereas I had to actually get up off my bum and go outside rain or shine to have a fag, my e-cig now goes everywhere with me and I can vape sitting here at my desk or whilst watching the telly lol I mentioned it to hubby and he said "so what? its still a massive improvement and saving and even if you vaped the same financial cost as you smoked every month its STILL better than you smoking." Actually I'm finding theres another benefit to me chain vaping - I'm not stuffing my face with sweets or crisps to compensate for not having a fag so win win for me.

phoenix snap so welcome to my world too. I'm exactly the same as you, forever swapping tanks throughout the day and seem to be chain vaping which has still got to be better than chain smoking.

I started on 18mg and over the year of vaping I've just managed to get it down to 10.5mg - whether that's the reason for chain vaping or not I don't know. Am I worried about it? Sometimes I wonder if it's doing me any good, but then I just tell myself it's better than fags.

I will also have a vape when I'm out & about but nowhere near as much I do at home. Yesterday I went out for about hour and a half and when I got home I realised I never used my e-cig once, but that was coz I was running about keeping busy doing a couple of bank runs and off paying bills in several different establishments, so I guess I was so busy that I never even thought about vaping. Maybe we just got too much time on our hands when indoors so vape more coz of that eh.

i never put mine down since packing up the fags i have mine in my hand all the time vaping 2.4 all the time tried 1.8 vaped the same but more flavour so i stick with 1.8 now wont go out without it i can vape at work so i am lucky really

I think you've hit the nail on the head there snow - I never ever smoked inside the house, so now vape far more just because I can. But I agree with this too:

Until such time someone tells us it's more dangerous than smoking tobacco, I'm happy!!

Upping nic may cut down the amount you vape, it did for me 12-13 ml/day @ 6 mg changed to 10 mg and that went straight down to 8.5 ml/day, but its slowly creeping up again (I mainly vape dual coil genesis around 22 w and only one flavour). I managed to cut nic out completely last year, but have a couple of binges of 40 Marbro Reds so went back to having nic.

I too would say I vapeing more. Only been just a month for me. But I can use it in the house, I don't use it around the kids. But when they are not here or mostly when they are in bed on a night I just sit there relaxing having a pint and a nice vape. We're before I had to make the effort to go outside. I think just being.g able to and have something that tastes nice, just means you doo it more.
I was on lemon last night. First time I've tried any. I was very unsure at first. But after a clero full I had decided it was ok.
I've mixed together some chocolate and cherry. I might give that a try tonight or tomorrow. I've got a bit of mrs B's custard left, must order some more of that! And I have a coffers one that I've not opens yet.
Think that's the problem all these nice tasting juices. They are just lovely to vapeing so you just want to do it. Far better than the old stinkys

[Super-Shiny]

Don't think upping your nic strength is going to make you vape less as you will just come accustomed to the new strength anyway just like you did when you reduced it, stay at what you are and vape as much as you like and don't worry about it.

You ain't harming yourself or anyone else

Hi, I'm ripshod and I chain vape. But don't worry, I'm down to 6mg because of this. I don't want extra nic, I just luuuurv my juice
Don't worry about vaping too much, just take adavantage and reduce the nicotine. I'm probably getting just the same amount of nic per days as when I first started.

[ruffdog]

Too new to advise as only 10 days in on 18mg about 1-2ml a day. and I feel i vape more than I smoked.
I suppose if it ever gets to the point and 650mah Ego battery only lasts 4 hours and not 8 then I've maybe gone too far

ruff.

and well done on the no stinkies, I feel fantastic 10 days in.

[halight]

ruffdog well done on no stinky for 10 days and 1-2ML of juice is not a lot, so no need to worry about that.

Well done and keep up the good work

It's my family that pointed it out to me, I didn't realise that I was carrying my vape around the house until my G.Daughter said 'You can let go of it Nannie it won't go anywhere' then my Daughter chipped in with 'she always carries it around with her'.
I did feel like saying, you should focus on the fact that it isn't a cig and be happy for me, but then I thought perhaps they are right, I never used to carry it around the house with me , I have decided I will always need a crutch to depend on, and will carry on as I am.
Thanks for your input peeps.
