i wont be able to vape. where do i get my nicotine from???

[Benzin]

i have allready been experiencing severe nicotine withdrawal symptoms (i spoke about that here ).
Long story short, my 12mg prefilled cartos were not strong enough, so i ordered some 24mg liquid to refill them and (hopefully) end the cravings.

Well, i just checked my order status, and due to some problems, it just shipped today (it should have shipped yesterday), wich means that maybe, if im lucky, i will have it here tomorrow (most likely the day after tomorrow).
And i am staring down at my last non empty carto.

Now, i know what youre thinking, "man, whats the big deal, just go and get a disposable e-cig at a convenicence store and use that till your juice arrives"

Well, if i lived in pretty much any other country, thats exactly what i would do, but i live in Mexico, and here, the corrupt, idiotic, incompetent, burocratic, .......s we call "our goverment", have banned e-cigs in the country. So they are nowhere to be found except online.

In short, i will not have access to e-juice or prefilled cartos for my e-cig for at least 24 hours, and i only have 1 1/2 cartos left.

What do i do?

Should i get some nicotine gum?, a nic patch? maybe try to get an inhaler?
ibe been free of stinkers for over 30 days thanks to my e-cig (20yr 2pad smoker), and i cant bare the tought of having to go buy some marlboros in a few hours.

Any opinions & sugestions urgently needed, and appreciated.

Edit:
Man, i am so .......* MAD at this ....... country and that bowl of rotten rat excrement we call goverment right now... i feel i could smash those corrupted imbeciles

I did a motorcycle trip to France last year, and left my e-liq on my desk, ended up smoking Marlboro for the week, not ideal, but as soon as I was back, straight back on my e-cig, it was heaven

One word: Snus.

I feel like that all the time about my government...

My suggestion, grab a pack of cigarettes. A few will not do that much more damage than you've already done. Maybe some smokeless tobacco? A pinch or a wad of tobacco is less harmful than inhaling burning tobacco.

 

[Kamin_Majere]

I feel your pain man. I brought enough fluid to work this time for the 3 weeks i was supposed to work... but now i'm stuck out here for 4 weeks (in the middle of the ocean) so about 1-2 days after week 3 ends i'll be completely out of fluid.

I have about 5 packs of analogs left over, and push comes to shove i'll be smoking them. I'm not going to like it, but its better than withdrawals and wanting to murder my coworkers lol

 

[Daveyboy42]

I'd say get the gum if you can, smokeless tobacco if not (i always preferred the pouches)

Your doing great without the smoke, don't do it if you can avoid it!!!

Good luck!

Nic Gum... dude don't smoke again... if that's what you're going for... it's not worth it!

I 2nd this.

 

[Benzin]

I have decided i will avoid stinkers at all costs. After all, thats what i set out to do when i started vaping, and i promised myself i was DONE with smoking.
i even named my promise "Operation End of Days" xD

I also want to avoid all tobbaco products if possible, so im wondering about gum or patches.

Anyone has any experience with those? i used them many years ago, needless to say they dint keep me of the stinkers for long. But this time i only need something to supply me with nic for 24/48hr till my juice arrives.

With this in mind, my list of options of what ill be getting in a couple of hours is this (more to less prefeered):
1.- nicotine gum or patches (wich do you recomend?)
2.- snus or snuff (i doubt i can find snuff here)
3.- chewing tobbaco (skoal, etc)
4.- Valium??? (j/k)

anyone with recent experience with patches and gum? wich do you think works better?

If you are really set on quitting smoking, you are better off trying to tough it out for the day without the nicotine.

Gum or patches aren't going to fill your smoking cravings the way that vaping does. It is just an unnecessary expense.

Your dilemma just highlights the fact that, like a lot of vapers, you are still addicted to the nicotine, whether or not you don't smoke the analogs.

One day of smoking cigs isn't going to hurt - in fact, it might help you in the long run. You aren't going to enjoy it the way you used to, vaping has already altered your taste. It would be better if this happened a couple months into it, but you might still experience the taste change.

Honestly man, just try to go without. It is one day. It won't be the end of the world.

Don't smoke again. Gum would be better than patches, but if you can go without by all means do so. You can also chew on a pen, or pencil, and/or pretend to smoke it. That helps with the hand to mouth psychological part of it, not the nic withdrawal.

If i had been "OK" (without the craves) for the last days, i would do exactly that. Just tough it out. But ibe had the cravings (due to low nic cartos) for over a week now, and knowing myself, im near my breaking point.

Am i still adicted to nicotine? of course i am!
my initial goal when i started vaping was not to give up nicotine, but to give up smoking.

I agree that 1 day of stinkers wont hurt (hell, i smoked >2PADs for 20 years!), the thing is i promised myself that this was not another "attempt" at quitting smoking. I promised myself that that day was infact the day i effectively quitted smoking.
And i plan to keep that promise.

 

[Iffy]

Hey, as a bakky hater and knowing that there is a 'way out' via vaping, I would toke a cig or two to keep myself from going azzhat during the interim.

Good luck!

One word: Snus.

This. Snus is a great way to get that nicotine fix. I def. prefer it over long cut chew.

 

[dlsw]

Snus or gum... (I still use gum when I am in situations in which I cannot vape and it helps)

I would get some gum on hand, and ration that last carto as much as possible. Anything like gum, etc is better than smoking, and being that you're 30 days in, I understand the need to tough it out until your shipment arrives. Can you buy Swedish Snus? It's exponentially safer than snuff, etc.

Sorry about your situation. Nic fits are no fun.

Oh man, I wish you the best and lot's of good ideas on what you can do in a pinch. Now's probably a good time to think about getting extra cartos and more juice, or you can diy with snus in a pinch down the road if you can get it and some pg and/or vg.

I know that even if times get rough my worst juice (I save everything....note the word hoarder does not apply...lol) would be preferable to none. Planning sucks because you don't know how much you need, I swear sometimes I go through more now than when I started, but I also know that supplies aren't easily had locally.

Stay strong, plan on back ups and back ups to your back ups ~ good luck!

 

[AzPlumber]

Not sure how many used cartos you have lying around but they all have a few drops of liquid absorbed into the filler material. This liquid can be easily extracted by removing the filler material, put it in a syringe and using the plunger to squeeze the few drops into your bottle. If this doesn't work out go with the snus.

 

[Jim Bob]

If you can get the lozenges in Mexico they might get you by I 've used them when I couldn't vape in situations and much better than the patches and mint isn't bad at all .

 

[Jay Dee]

Taryn spin those used cartos and reclaim some of the juice!

Like has been said, there IS some juice left over in them. It's just a matter of getting it back out to re-use. Use the search function of the forum!

Be strong, man! Desperate situations call for desperate measures. I've spun a few cartos myself and the family looks at me like I am crazy...but it works!
