I lit one last nite, mostly out of curiosity. Two tiny puffs later I put it out and grabbed a drink and vape to get the nasty out of my mouth. Lol. Well now I know. NO MORE!
I stick with the tobaccos myself. Just starting to add Hangsen to my flavor collection. Theyāre great so far. For me the key is to have a vape that satisfies like a cig and the fruity stuff doesnāt do that for me. Plus fruit vapes donāt work well with beers etc. I like a straight up tobacco vape with a beer.
Itās the god damn nicotine calling you!!! I find that if iām craving cigs itās because Iām not getting the nicotine that the monkey wants. That monkey is shocking and relentless and thereās no stopping it when its chattering away on your shoulder. Increase the nic and the monkey shuts up.
I can highly recommend the book The easy way to give up smoking. Although it didnāt cure me of my addiction, it did get me thinking about cigs different. Iāts a really good read if nothing else and I can guarantee that you wont want to be a smoker after reading it, Weather or not you stop is a different matter.
I do not crave cigs any more, the vape is enough for me. If I find myself looking at cigs I can almost certainly coll-orate it to low nicotine intake, either through dud coils, bad juice or something starving the monkey of its favourite dish. Donāt kid yourself into believing that it a cigarette youāre craving, its the sinister drug within.
Stay clean and good luck, I feel for you.
Iāve been smoking for about 35 years and in same time I have switched from smoking to vaping so easy as tumbler click, instantly and hope finally
Iām still addicted to nicotine and use 6mg nicotine liquid.
But the craving for cigarettes is completely replaced by interest in the technical details of vaping ā coil building, liquid recipes, additional technical environment ectā¦.
I believe that I was lucky to switch so easily, and I wish all people the same
I split the NET stuff to a new topic and then out of habit deleted the little thing that comes up that says that I split it and it wonāt let me undelete it. Whoops. Guess you guys who were involved might wanna know where your posts went. LoL.
Thanks for granting me the request of splitting this thread! The talk was heading down the NET roadā¦ so, better to have its own thread.
I gave it a new title:
I seem to be different than most on this, and I rarely crave a cig, I more often crave a new juice flavor, but when I get a craving for a cig I take a couple hits off of one. Most of my fishing buddies still smoke, so itās never far out of reach. I usually get about two drags off someone elseās cig and the crap taste in my mouth is enough that I donāt crave it again for 6 months or more. I smoked a pack and a half a day for 12 years and have had maybe 4 hits off a cig in the year Iāve been vaping, I donāt feel bad when I take a hit off someoneās cig, in fact I feel more affirmed that Iāll never buy a pack again. Once my taste buds and sense of smell returned cigarettes became off-putting to me, so giving in to that craving is almost like a punishment for having it in the first place for me lol.
Iām with you @Fishaddict420. Very much the same for me. The thought of a cig is far more delicious then the actually cig itself. Vape on man!
Itās been almost 6 years since Iāve smoked a cigarette. For the first time in a really long time, I really, REALLY want one.
I said the same thing this morning.
Donāt do it!
You can have oneā¦ ā¦ but you have to promise all of us you will only take one drag and then snuff it out by sticking the cigarette up your left nostril.
Think Iām gonna pass, then. Thanks! LoL
Pass, cause it will taste horrible and you will wonder why you even wanted it.
A cig after a while without is horrible in a way. You might like the feeling from all the chemicals that you donāt get from nic, that headrush, that full on swoon, if it happensā¦
But then that awful charred taste and smell you might try to blow your nose and rinse your sinus to get rid of it. It is disgusting! You might feel filthy from the inside and out. It might not be worth it.
These were what I felt last time I smoked. I couldnāt get the nasty out of my nose! So gross!
Why did I smoke for 27 years? WTH?
I wonder why I even wanted it, needed it, loved it
ā¦
Addiction in the worst way.
For serious! Itās pretty awful. Itās so funny, usually I canāt stand the smell, especially if someoneās been smoking in the house downstairs. But every once in awhile on my way into class someone will be standing outside smoking a cigarette and Iāll want one because of the smell.
At work, I vape with the smokers every day. I am not gonna say it always stinks. It will smell good sometimes, IMHO. It is just that it will be bad if you try. It was 27 years for me and I really love tobacco.
But a smoke after a while without is just gross IME. Or even worse is smelling the residue on a person or your own things if you stay at their house when they smoke. Just gross!
Donāt do it , youāll hate yourself in the morning !
Yupā¦ same here girl. BUT, the craving is fleeting after 3 years of not smoking, thank goodness.
Hmm, i donĀ“t understand the excitement. Sometimes i smoke a cigarette, once a month or so. Mostly when my mum smokes. It tastes disgusting and i remember that vaping is much better for me. ThatĀ“s it. No more cravings.
I learned something the other day from the very kind man that owns the Vape shop I just started frequenting. Nicotine in itself IS NOT addicting. Itās all the additives the Tobacco companies add to their cigs to addict you to their brand. I was shocked. He said when I finally put down my cigs it will take 4 or 5 days of cravings even with the Vape. He said it will be much easier though because you still get a nicotine high from the vape. He also told me that my body will tell me when to lower my Nicotine usage. He said when the vapes taste like pepper itās my body telling me itās time to lower. He said it may never tell you. My wife vapes and she has mentioned the pepper taste. Interesting.
