I can't be the only one

Okie, Tarot Pro and Baby Beast is not exactly 'starter' gear, so it's likely not due to a lack of nicotine
At least you know that finding good flavors is the next key to being a happy vaper.

I'd suggest that you carry on the way you are and make an effort if you can just to replace more and more smoke breaks with a vape. I'd also not rule out trying the odd 6mg juice, but at 50W, that might be pushing it. The more you get used to vaping and start realising that it's more the smoking action, taste & virtually immediate satisfaction from the nic rush, the easier it will become to move away from the stinkies altogether.
Spreading the vaping sessions to shorter breaks over a shorter time span, or taking some in-between puffs should also assist in better a gradual intake of nic. Instead of taking a smoke break every hour for 5 minutes, do a vape break every 30 to 45 minutes for 2-3 minutes instead. Smokes have additives to assist in nic absorption, vapes do not, so it takes longer to get the same amount of nic for your fix. Vapes do not generally provide the immediate satisfaction that puffing on stinkies do.

All I can say is to persist and do not get discouraged. It really does become easier over time.

That's a great plan !! ..thanks!..never thought about it like that

I think there is way more addictive substances in a cigarette than just the nicotine.

Honestly, How long did it take before you completely quit cigarettes ?

Although I started vaping a week ago the progress has been slow

Took me 9 days of vaping till the day I didn't have a cigarette @Gersh
That was in October 2013 - using four Twisp Clearo1 devices
And a fair amount of willpower...

Don't worry about the slow progress, take it at your own pace. As long as you are smoking less and not more then you are winning.

I'm using a vaporesso tarot pro and Baby beast tank at 50w which is showing no mercy to flavour consumption lol ..

Juices I have
•nostalgia mad hatter - amazing- think I'm the extremely sweet ADV type guys.
•Orion Milky Way - meh not really my type.
•hardwicks DDD -very nice.
Looking to get me some rainbow monster soon also great flavour

At 3mg the nic lvl is just right for me and actually helps keeping away from the stinkies for a few hours longer than usual. It gives that slight throat hit.

@Gersh - perhaps you could also try a mouth to lung setup with 18mg or 12mg
That might help you a lot to get off the smokes.

The "throat hit" on a lung hit is very different and in my opinion not as satisfying for a smoker when compared to a higher mg throat hit with a good mouth to lung setup.

I find the lung hits give a gentle "cumulative" type of "rubbing" on the throat versus a strong punch that one gets with a high mg juice on a mouth to lung setup.

Tobaccoes and menthols add to the "punch" for me.

It may or may not work for you but worth a try

I quit smoking about 7 months ago. As soon as I received my setup I quit and never picked up a cigarette again. Now I've began lightening the nicotine percentages in my juice. Down to 1mg now and the next batch might be 0 haha.

I had my last cigarette on 3 Jan this year. Started vaping in early Feb so I went a month cold turkey. It didn't bother me that much tbh. The only bad symptom I got was a strong "butterflies in the stomach" sensation. It was actually quite pleasant when it first manifested soon after waking up in the morning, sort of like you're about to make a speech on stage or start a sporting match. But it got really old after about eight hours non-stop. Unlike a cigarette craving (which I didn't get) which subsides after about ten minutes, this feeling never subsided. It lasted from morning till night.

Panic attacks. Not fun. Was there also.
