Stop smoking - start vaping

If you're an heavy smoker 25 A's plus a day, can you fill your nicotine habbit with vaping alone ?

For me its very difficult, specially when I am working!

How about you ?

 

Absolutely!

25/day is not really heavy but more or less 'normal', I was on 60/day, that's heavy but nowhere near the top.

If you think its the nicotine you need you could always try X-High (32-36mg) juices.

For me its not the nicotine but the action of 'smoking'. I'm on zero nic and there are times when I completely forget to steam, but there are also times when I chain-vape.

 

i was a 40 a day smoker and since vaping i haven't touched a smoke
all good my end

 

I think I'm included in the heavy smoker group, a pack to a pack and a half, even worse when drinking it can be like 2 packs to 3 packs.

It was a little bit hard for me to just put down cigarettes and vapes only, I started with 13mg nic and I did smoke 2-3 cig for couple weeks when I really crave for it. But now I can say that I'm a non-smoker.

 

25/day
Vaping also saves me a lot. Lol

 

Hey, nice to see a fellow Belgian here, bienvenu/welkom

I second that!!! for most of us, the addiction is to the habbit, not the nicotine itself (or at least the nic addiction is gone within 3-5 days according to science)
Whatever your carving for nic, start with high nic (18mg or higher... u'll have to try) then u can progressivelly go down with it.
What I've been said when starting (and it's so true!!!):
1) get a good Variable Voltage/Wattage battery >> that's how you'll get the best from your juice
2) find the good juice that suit your taste >> that were you'll find the pleasure of vaping (and later on be disgusted by an analog).. but it comes from your OWN trial & Error

Nicotine is a concern onlly when starting. You'll soon forget it.

oh, and FYI: Nicotine is a key factor on the TH (Throat Hit)... but it also somehow 'reduce' the flavour of your juice. So, just know that the higher the nic, the 'stronger the TH... the lower your nic, the more flavorfull your juice.

Cheers (and good luck kicking out the analog habbit !)

 

Nicotine addiction on the brain is complex and affected by 3 main factors 1) How much nicotine you need to get an effect 2) How quickly your body gets rid of the nicotine 3) Your 'addiction/dependency' level. So if you need a lot of nicotine to get an effect and your body destroys nicotine quickly then most likely you will be a chain smoker using high nicotine strength. If you're in this category and you switch to vaping then you should start with at least 32mg nic and have a device with long-lasting batteries and big tank so you can chain vape all day..
People who enjoy the effect of nicotine (say in social situations where other people are vaping/smoking where its more of a social activity) could wean themselves off nicotine in 3-5 days but in heavy smokers the 'addiction/dependancy' could last over 6 months. Studies have shown that the majority of people who can go without nicotine for 6 months can give up nicotine for life but their is a small % ( around 5%) who will crave it for life. So its horses for courses really...
I would wager that 95% of people who vape at 0mg nic for 6 months will quit vaping completely - which is bad news for e-cig vendors!

 

It was a seamless transition for me.... 30 years of smoking that included countless efforts to quit, then started vaping and have never looked back.

Nicotine or no nicotine is irrelevant to me, I'm just happy I'm off the analogs.

Of course I would like to lessen my nicotine intake, but at this early stage of vaping it's not a concern.

 

I am new to vaping and find when I inhale the Throat Hit makes me cough and feel I as though I am choking, I am using 11mg nic menthol flavour, does anyone know why. I used to smoke 15 Menthol Lite cigarettes a day. I am I doing some thing wrong?

 

No mate, it's a natural reaction. I started coughing for a while as did everyone I know.
There is some detailed medical information on e-forum that explains this.
It passes, for some people a day or two and for others a week or two.... Don't give up and persevere
