It’s the god damn nicotine calling you!!! I find that if i’m craving cigs it’s because I’m not getting the nicotine that the monkey wants. That monkey is shocking and relentless and there’s 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 didn’t cure me of my addiction, it did get me thinking about cigs different. I’ts 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. Don’t kid yourself into believing that it a cigarette you’re craving, its the sinister drug within.
I’ve 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
I’m 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 – coil building, liquid recipes, additional technical environment ect….
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 won’t let me undelete it. Whoops. Guess you guys who were involved might wanna know where your posts went. LoL.
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 it’s never far out of reach. I usually get about two drags off someone else’s cig and the crap taste in my mouth is enough that I don’t 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 I’ve been vaping, I don’t feel bad when I take a hit off someone’s cig, in fact I feel more affirmed that I’ll 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.
You can have one… … 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.
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 don’t get from nic, that headrush, that full on swoon, if it happens…
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 couldn’t 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
…
For serious! It’s pretty awful. It’s so funny, usually I can’t stand the smell, especially if someone’s 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 I’ll 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!
Hmm, i don´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. That´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. It’s 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 it’s my body telling me it’s time to lower. He said it may never tell you. My wife vapes and she has mentioned the pepper taste. Interesting.
There are substances in cigs that make nicotine more addictive but it is also in itself addictive. From all the studies I have read it is about as dangerous as caffeine (perhaps a little more addictive than caffeine).
I would say to this that if you taste pepper it is not your body telling you to lower your nicotine it is more than likely it is because the nicotine has gone bad and you should get some new nic or ditch the juice.
There is no problem in dual use, if somebody want to quit. When i started to vape, i smoked too, but only a few cigarettes a day. It was a big sucess for me to lower from 30 cigs to only 4-5 a day. After a few weeks i smoked only 1 cig a week. It´s not a either or, that make to much pressure, every cigarette that isn´t smoked is a win. And yes, your body will tell you, when it´s time to lower your nic.
If you get your satisfaction, don´t lower your nic. Geting cravings - higher nic level may help. I vape for nearly 3 years now and my favorite is the Flash e Vapor with 18mg e juice, Toffee single flavour. Great flash!
Whoops. Guess you guys who were involved might wanna know where your posts went. 
LoL.
The talk was heading down the NET road… so, better to have its own thread.
