First week off

[gixerk1]

Hi all
I have now done nearly 7 days with out tobacco
I have had a bit of a headache and felt sometimes a bit odd
The reason really for this post was I just had a drag of a rollie my rationale was if it helped my headache etc that fag is now outside with one drag taken I can't believe how foul it tasted is this normal I checked the baccy and papers But there ok I think because I've given up more by accident it sometimes feels a bit surreal as I was a enthusiastic old Holborn smoker I can't go back now lol I'm enjoying a custard strawberry jam and black cherry mix
Keeping the faith

Congratulations to you gixerk1.


The first week is a huge milestone for anyone . . . . your bod as well as detoxing from all the junk in tobacco may be a little dehydrated as vaping can be quite ' drying ' - it's worth upping your fluid intake to help with any headaches you may be experiencing.

yep, up the water intake it will help with the detox effect

When I was a smoker I used to follow cars on the mo bike in the morning and the waft of fag smoke out the windows always smelt heavenly.
Now it just makes me wretch.
Stick with it fella.

Thanks for the kind words I've not been drinking enough I am on the look now for a box mod I have read all the reviews on an upgrade I think a small stealthy type if there is such a thing whilst not being pelted with fish and stuck on a ducking stall the great unwashed around here still see the vaper as not far up than satan himself
So next step up from a evo battery and pro tank I have a k1 as well but not to good on my battery's 40 ish quid budget
Thanks again

The humectant nature of vegetable glycerin will lower the water in your system and cause headaches, if you have higher vg liquids it's important to stay hydrated, as already posted its your body's way of saying wtf just happened!! Bring back my toxins!!

on your first week gixerk1. I did the same as you, tried a rollie after a while vaping, although it was more like a month. And yes, I too only had a drag or too and it tasted disgusting. But also, like phtumshk, I was attracted to the smell of cigarette smoke, and now detest it. Keep up keeping up. You are doing well.

Hiya gixerk1 and to AAEC
Huge gratz for the first week, I gave up smoking from my first 'proper' vape and have never looked back! I do get the odd craving for a smoke but after having a couple of vapes that craving soon disappears.

Yes I notice it now in friends houses where they still smoke, the constant stench of stale baccy smoke. When I smoked I never noticed it as I stank, and the house stank.

Indeed sydsut, I now limit my visits to my mothers house, as I need to have a shower and change my clothes when I get home. Which is not so nice for her as I am her youngest, and my brother lives in Kent. Now she sees not much of us. I keep trying to get her vaping, but she is a technophobe. I won't give up nagging her though. I'm not anti-smoking, I just think all the benefits outweigh smoking enormously.

gixerk1-. Had the same experience, and it was at that point I thought 'I'm never going back'. Would repeat what others have said about drinking lots - really helps with headaches.
