I started drinking less brandy but vaping more. That being said, it easier to follow that protocol when the Boks are not playing.
 
I've smoked cigarettes with friends back in the day, never liked it and never became addicted.

Tried the Vuse vape and enjoyed these flavours - iced mango, classic peach and watermelon but still never crave it.
 
Something to keep in mind - if you vape 2ml of 25mg fluid it’s around a pack of cigarettes worth of nicotine. It’s easy to become seriously addicted to the nic.
Still way healthier than cigarettes. I love nicotine and caffeine combo!

Interesting you mention that. Recall a study that showed that the uptake of nicotine was higher through vaping than smoking, too. Something to do with the size of the molecules.

I had cut down to around 5 cigs a day, vaping in between when I decided to drop the cancer sticks for good. Been vaping non stop since, though.

Because it didn’t stink, and I WFH, I just used to keep it on my desk and vape whenever I felt the need. To try and reduce how much I vaped, I then moved it away and left it in the bedroom, so I’d physically have to get up to vape. That then got moved even further to a drawer in the kitchen, so I’d then also have to open something to get it out.

For a laugh, I one day decided to count how many times a day I vaped. I expected maybe 10-15. So, started making a mark on the whiteboard on the fridge every time I went and got it out the drawer. 25 times a day was my maximum. It was shocking and eye opening to say the least! I loathe to think how much I vaped when I was sitting at my desk with it!

I then decided to break it down even further, and made columns for morning, afternoon and night. Late afternoon and evening seemed to be the busiest, so I took it a step further, and decided to place limits on how many times I was allowed to vape during those periods. Managed to go from 25 a day to an average of around 12 times a day. Weekends is less (lowest has been 8) because I get up a bit later. Intention is to lower the allotments each week, but consciously getting over the current max is proving to be tricky. Will soldier on, though.
 
People who think vaping is healthier are mistaken as there's no long term studies yet showing this. Vaping has its own set of chemicals that are harmful. If you use it to get off smoking it's better but if you vape where you would not have smoked you're doing an activity that's overall just as harmful.
 
so after a really rough time at work for the past few months I have actually found I vape less.

I re Wick once a week, and how gunked up my coils are is my only true measure of how much I vape. I make my own flavour and I use the same cotton. so I have more controll.

when I vaped dessert falvours I would have to re wick every 3 days to keep the flavour. but with my Dr. Pepper once a week is fine.

when I rewicked on sunday the cotton was still white. I could have easily gone another week.

sadly becasue I make my own juice I dont really keep track of how much juice I go though, I just grab the next bottle, but its around 10 days per bottle. so about 10ml a day, so 2 full tanks. and that feels about right. some days when I work from home I will do 3 tanks. but some weekends 1 tank will last all weekend. but then I hit the "little vape" with the nic salts more often.

that being said I also have the dr pepper that is basically always with me, the nic salt berry apple that is always in my pocket, a red pill in one vape in the lounge, a Blue pill in another vape, and the coke float in another device. but its safe to say 95% of the time I vape the dr Pepper. might be because of the atomiser and mod combo that the dr Pepper goes in that is just the best combo for me. Lost Vape Themela Solo 200W with a Thunderhead creations x Mike Vapes blaze 26mm RTA, with duel fused by fido Micro alien coils runnign at 0.23Ohm Hellvape shoelace cotton vapign at 60W.

when I evnetually finish the custom wood vape, I will get anotehr blaze and make my own SS316L coils to also come out at 0.23Ohm so I can run that at 315 degrees in temp controll on the DNA 250C board. temp controll on any other board is just not as good in South African summer as the ambient temp is not measured so the starting resistance is not as accurate.


Actually really looking forward to making the SS316L coils. but that will be after the move only.
