Semi newbie

I think the most difficult part for me is i work in the tabacco industry not mentioning names lol.... so i dnt have a budget for cigs coz i get free... i have reduced my cigs alot but just i just cant stand the fact that i smoke still and still get cravins
I know im a problem child haha

That can be quite challenging indeed. It must be like trying to diet while working in a fast food store

Smoking a little will keep those cravings for non-nicotine additives alive and because you are not getting as much of it, that might be what is causing your cravings

Does not really correlate. Depends more on what you need from the juice. I smoked the lightest cigarettes on the market, but needed 36 mg in the beginning to get me off the stinkies.

Yoh lmao guess ill have to just test each and see what is best. I just want something where after a few puffs ill be satisfied

From you remarks so far seems to me you would do well to try 18 mg at least.

 

[baksteen8168]

I agree. 18mg should be a good starting point. From there you should be able to judge if you need more or less mg.

 

[Kuhlkatz]

I fully agree with the other sentiments to try a higher nic content, especially if you are used to stronger cigs.
Just be careful when you chain vape on a higher nicotine dosage, as you can easily overdo it. It may start off with a slight uncomfortable feel in the back of throat and can quite quickly lead to you feeling 'gagged' or nauseous.
That's the point where you stop, take a drink of water and get back to some other action than vaping. A full-on silver is not the best of feelings from what i've heard.
I often overdid it on the early cig-alikes and later the Twisp with their 18mg jooses before taking the plunge and moving to different kit & 12mg.

If you normally take a few puffs & carry on with other stuff, higher nic jooses should definitely help. If you have periods where you chain vape, higher nic might just put you off vaping due to the onset of nausea from overdoing it.

 

[Imotions]

Thanks Andres think ill get me some 18 mg n see from there

 

[Imotions]

@Khulkatz noted i do have some 0mg also that i use as well just so when im bored i put tank on and vape that keeps my mind occupied as well lol

 

[Imotions]

The only advice i can give is self dicipline... im vaping now for 9 months... Day 1 i got my 1st vape mail, had my last stuyvie that morning @8 and then went to the PO to fetch my starter kit and from the PO i went straight to DBN leaving my stuyvies at home...
i basically made a point to myself that i used my sig budget money for vape supplies so i didnt have any more for sigs that month and just stuck with it...
started off on 18mg.. went down to 12 when i started dripping and im currently using 6mg with the occasional 12 mg now and then...
the first 3 days was hard as i work with a lot of smokers (converted bout 18 of them but only 6 stuck to it and a few use both sigs and vape)but every time i had a craving i took a few drags on the eGo and that was it... It's a matter of getting use to the idea, finding a juice you like and stick to it..no buts...
For me smoking was a lifestyle choice... Vaping is change and now even my hobby... Im not in it to save money (still have the R1500p/m i use to buy sigs with on my budget), just needed a healthy alternative to get my nic fix (tried nicorrets but they taste like shit)

In your case you have not just have to make that choice for yourself but your pregnant wife and kid on the way too,and to me that alone is worth trying..
best of luck on the trip down vape lane. Believe me its a fun one

I did the same thing mate, must say cigs was never even close to the fun i'm having with vapes, I smoked cause I had to...I agree with the discipline, you can add a nicorete to the vaping, it helped me, I only used 2 tho.

i only used the nicorettes when we drove long distances as i was the only smokerbut usw to take it with 2 Airwave's.. nicorettes is bad..lol they do work tho but i prefer the smoking sensation so vaping became priority#1

@Imotions Get a iStick 20 watt with a Aspire Nautilus Mini, get yourself Five Pawns Gamit at 18mg. Set your wattage to about 12w
and start vaping. Let the vapour to linger in your mouth a while. Once you have the taste you are halfway there.
For me its about the taste, the cravings for a cig have gone but I crave the taste of my juices.
I will be glad to donate you an aspire nautilus mini to get started.

Just my two cents.

The first time I stopped smoking I found that the cravings was when you wake up and have that cup of coffee. What was better than that first coffee with a smoke... So I changed to a half glass of water in the morning with a nice strong juice that I liked. Same thing after eating... I always had two juices I liked a stronger one that did the trick in one tank. And an all day vape juice in the other. Smoking becomes a habit and you just to break it. Try to be patient though it takes a while I haven't touched any stink for just over a weak now and my cravings are way way less.

Changed my coffee/cig morning blend for coffee/strawberry cream vape(diy blend) must say coffee tastes shitty without it now...lol...for anything you eat or drink there's a vape that can compliment it, like the cheese and wine theory...also found that besides for nicotine content playing around with my VG/PG ratio works for alcohol, higher PG goes nice with a few drinks with the mates.

Hi @Imotions, i agree with @Andre

Formula for quitting stinkies. You need the following:
1) decent gear
2) 18mg juice
3) one or two flavours you really like
4) a bit of willpower

The better 1) and 3) are, the less of 4) you need

 

[Imotions]

I gathered my will power yesterday and made it an agreement between heart and brain so we have agreed its for the best lol... only the odd times ill have a stinkie but that would change once i get me some 18mg and flavours i like... thanks guys i should of done this from the beginning good to know you guys have my back

That is correct the pg helps with the throat hit and that is very much what we need when we drink, and even start. We need that kik. Yes the nick also helps for the throat hit, so high % combination of the two helps fo% a start( or having a drink).you will later like taste more than throat hit and move on to VG, as VG gives you a sweeter thicker vape. For now Stick to round 70/30 or 80/20 pg/vg with 18 nic, if that doesn't work then go to even higher nic although its not that common. Just get over the bump and it will be worth it. Enjoy the tastes and flavours let it linger, soon you will not like the taste of a stinky. Just before you light that thing take a few good drags of vape. You might just not light the CIG. Enjoy vaping.
