I had been smoking up to 2 packs a day for 40+ years when, due to incessant coughing issues, I looked into e-cigs. One day while at the smoke shop buying my cartons of cigs last February 2012, I saw them in the front case. I asked what's this new thing in his shop? The clerk told me they were "electric cigarettes for people who can't smoke real cigarettes in airports, buildings and so forth. They are real popular so try one of these kits!" I bought it.
The cig-a-likes were short lived. The battery charge only lasted a few hours. They made me cough when I was "smoking" them and they tasted awful! In doing internet searches for my issues, which led me to ECF, I discovered personal vaping devices that were not cig-a-likes. Also, to my delight, I found that I could get liquids that are VG based instead of all PG. (In a short time I discovered PG was part of the issues with coughing and throat irritation while vaping the store bought PG-laden e-cig cartos.)
Chain-vaping cut my cigarette consumption down tremendously and my "smoker's cough" became almost nonexistent -- but something was missing. I tried higher nic but that's not what was missing. I settled on 18 to 24mg nic in most eliquids. Spending all my free time on ECF and "Google" helped me find WTAs. Some of the first WTAs that I tried were heavily PG-based, tasted and smelled awful, and didn't help my situation at all. Then I tried an unflavored VG based WTA from a vendor that only has it available once in a while. It seemed terribly expensive but I gave it a shot and compared it to the weekly cost of cartons of cigarettes. Adding WTAs to my "regular" eliquids definitely makes my vaping experience more enjoyable. It has a calming effect. However, much to my chagrin, I was unable to buy that vendor's WTAs for many months. It's rarely available and only 1 bottle per household when it is available. So, gradually I was smoking more and more cigarettes

VG based unflavored WTA e-liquids. The very moment I found out about them I ordered 5 10ml bottles to make sure I wouldn't run out of it right away! It was a leap of faith.
I vape the unflavored 24mg by itself many times a day. Short chain-vaping sessions -- (that's what I call it.) It has a pleasant taste and effectively helps curb my smoking cigarettes! I add it, in equal parts, to my "regular" flavored vendor-made and my DIY eliquids to enhance them when I'm bored with "unflavored." Adding WTAs to my naturally extracted tobacco eliquids becomes an almost ideal condition of calmness, stability, and a joy for me. (I refuse to say nirvana, if there is such a thing!?) There's no buzz. No lightheadedness. However, calmness and the ability to focus has returned. In fact a long chain-vaping session of unflavored WTA VG liquid makes me a bit sleepy and is great at bedtime.
Vaping WTAs
is satisfying.
