E cigarette my experience so far.

[Saltex]

So I received my e cigarette 3 days ago http://www.besserdampfen.de/starter.../1346/joyetech-ecom-double-set-1000mah?c=2216

At first really annoying cause I didnt know how to get it working properly, and liquid kept going in my mouth when I sucked, but turned out I was just putting the liquid in the wrong whole(awaits sexual comment), and I was close to already just giving up and just thought of carrying on smoking cause it was easier haha.

So far after 2 days I can say it is helping with the craving, yes I am still smoking, but I am limiting myself to a cigarette every 3 hours, and inbetween I am smoking the e cigarette, and it is really helping to take away that craving although it really takes quite a few puffs on e cig to get over the craving but eventually it goes, and when its time for my cig I don't really get that much of a satisfaction feeling as I thought I would after 3 hours. In one day Im smoking about a a box and a half, and right now after 2 days Iv'e still got the same with 5 cigarettes still in them.

Yes I know people are going to say cold turkey is the only, but I've tried and some of us just don't have the ability to do it, so i'm going to try this method, and tomorrow I will make it a cigarette every 4 hours until the only the only thing I am left smoking is the e cigarette, where I will eventually lower the mg of nicotine juice till it is zero.

I tried this method before I had an e cigarette and it didn't work out, not even after one day I was already cheating and back to smoking, now it's already been 2 days so I am feeling pretty positive and committed to sticking to this as I feel weening off is my only option as cold turkey and other stuff i've tried hasn't helped me out.

Also I dunno if I am imagining it, but I feel my moods are slightlu better, I suffer from depression etc. and today I just feel good, I will keep an update, and will come back to this thread if I continue to smoke and admit that I failed.

Also what I am doing is every time I wanna smoke I go stand outside where I always usually smoke and smoke on the e cig, I think this also helps a lot, because what I have found is not only just the addiction, but being able to break those habits and routines you do every time you have a smoke or whatever its, like after a meal for example, many times I find myself with alot more time on my hands because usually before or after I've done something I will always have a smoke, and now it's like eh what do I do now.

There is no real method to migrating to eCigs from cigarettes. Just do whatever you feel like and it will happen naturally.
Most of my customers simply don't crave a cigarette once they start vaping. A few of them alternate between the two until the eCig becomes the primary choice and cigarettes no longer an option.

Good luck with quitting. You will most definitely feel better.

I have now migrated completely to e-cigs. I no longer crave a cigarette. I had one the other night to compare and the flavour is different, but the experience is similar. I made the mistake of buying 16mg juices though to try out the flavours, and they're incredibly light. Too light for me.

Going to have to find a decent tobacco flavour juice now - 24mg, as little sweetness as possible...

I am using 18mg, so far it is ok, I think I could maybe use stronger, but this is giving enough of a hit on the throat.THe only problem I have, and am not sure if it is the juice, is that when I exhale it leaves a bit of scratch feeling in the back of my throat like I have to clear my throat a bit to get it away.

Also how much of your e cig are you smoking, 30 min at a time, or regularly, or every 1 hour or what? If you know what i'm trying to get at.

The throat hit is good with PG juices afaik, and lighter with VG. I find the 16mg to be okay when I have my first puff of the day, but my body slowly adjusts to it and it mellows out to the point of it being quite insufficient...

No specific routine. I just pick up and vape when I feel like it - which is often. Sometimes 1 pull and put it down, sometimes triple clutch, sometimes it won't leave my mouth for 10 mins.
I go through about 30ml of juice a week. The average vaper is 10ml.

Correct. PG has a higher throat hit and VG more vapour.
Most people go PG as their main preference and VG if they have an allergic reaction to the PG. There are some though that just prefer VG.
Lots of the juices coming out today are a mix. 2 parts PG and 1 part VG. Vape Elixir and Liqua to name 2.

Yeah - I found I love that damn thing. I also hit 30ml a week. If I smoke analogue, I feel cheated. Nothing beats the Cherry. I used to drag a pack of blackstones eveywhere. Now, I can go two weeks easily without and will only go analogue if batteries are flat or juice is finished.
