Close to giving up Vaping

[sg1]

Maybe a pcc kit would be good for those moments, when you nip down the local or out and about?

And then a larger battery with a vision or tank for when you're at the telly, and a passthrough when you're at the computer?

That would cover all your bases, reduce the charging time inbetween location.

Good post richt and I feel a lot of the same thoughts as you do. I still smoke and Vape, sometimes still as many as 20 tabs a day but I was a 45 to 60 smoker before so it is an omprovement of sorts. I have gone through all sorts of juices and equipment in the four months I've been vaping and I think I'm close to settling down with the spending now. With regard to the juices and flavour. I find that something that I love for a few days can be either tasteless or even a bad taste on a different occasion. I assume the Tabs are still kicking the hell out of my tastebuds. I did origanally hope that Vaping might be an easy way off the tabs but, like you, I enjoy the bloody things!

richt, only vape if and when you want to, have a break from it, don`t let it stress you out

I was smoking 20 ciggies a day
a couple of weeks ago I bought a starter kit £11
vaped some and smoked some of my usual ciggies, approx. half and half
and in 3 days had covered the cost of the starter kit
a kind person sent me some juice to try and I love the coffee one
so yesterday placed an order for 5 pick n mix and 4 empty carts £18

I will only spend the money I save from not smoking real ciggies
and I will not pressure myself to give up smoking all together

I am really enjoying vaping because of this relaxed attitude towards using the e-cigs

as I typed this post my order has just come through the letterbox
sorry must go - I have a package to open

Joan I am so glad you are enjoying your vaping now. It is always good to see someone's enthusiasm grow as their experience widens

I feel your pain!



here are a few tips that may solve a few of the stumbling blocks..

1) Get in lots of batteries and a multi charger, so that you alwyas have plenty charged up and dont have to think about it too much.
2) If you dont like the flavours, try vaping flavourless e liquid. I do most of the day, its the nicotine and throat hit i really want, i can take or leave the flavourings.
3) get an e cig with a better battery life, i went from a mini e cig from totally wicked, to a titan mega, that has bigger bateries and bigger cartridge, made life easier. Am now in the market for the next step up, as there are some really long life batteries and cartos that hold much mroe e liquid available these days.


i know what you mean about the faff involved, but the ones you mentioned could probably be solved and the advantages over tobacco smoking are worth a bit of effort i reckon

good luck

Thanks to everyone for their kind advice and a special thanks to Rosylea for offering a sample of juice to try.

Over the last 24 hours I've started having the odd rollie when I have felt like it (not as many as I thought I would want - about 4 a day) and must admit it has helped a lot...I have actually started enjoying it when I am vaping again! Although the 'to-be Mrs' ain't too happy about me having the baccy!

I've also had another go with my clearomiser and it is a lot better than when I first tried it out in the beginning. I will give this a try for a bit longer which should help. How long are they supposed to last by the way?

I have decided not to stress too much about finding that perfect vape and setup and try to rotate flavours a bit more. I've also decided to stop spending money unnecessarily which has helped with the guilt.

As they say "it is good to talk" and I'm not sure if I would have persisted with vaping this long if it wasn't for all the friendly advice on here. Thanks again!

I am glad your feeling a bit better, I had formulated a long reply to you last night but accidentally pressed the back button , on my browser and didn't have the energy to start again , many take to vaping straight away and give up the ciggy's without effort others like myself , have difficulty giving them up altogether but find that they can cut down substantially, I think in a month or two you'll start to see a big improvement in your health, which if your like me being fairly healthy you probably won't expect it isn't like wow all of a sudden I feel so much better , but you'll start to notice little things and whilst you might still be smoking you'll see how much sense it makes to vape more than you smoke. Unfortunately the difference between you and me is that I am also saving considerably which I think in your case being a baccy smoker you won't but I think eventually you'll start breaking even and the improvement in your health will encourage you to keep vaping , keep talking

Oh a good person to question then......is flavourless e liquid really flavourless. I hope this isn't a stupid question, the clue may be in the name.
Doesn't nicotine taste ?

Opps I didn't notice page 2, my question now looks a bit odd at the end.
