when I start vaping, i vaped like the analog. take 5 - 6 vapes every 30mins or so. more recently, i find myself vaping much more frequently. i would take a few hits every 5 mins. i am not worry about the nic level since it is still much lower than what i used to get via analog. but i am wondering if this behavior is common for others.

Cool part is, if I am busy, i can go without vaping for an hour without any side effect.

I chain vape. Exclusively. I refil my Evods about 3 times a day.

I'm vaping 24mg Nic juice though so sometimes I get a head rush and have to stop vaping for about 30 minutes.

I vape for the habit/taste. I've quit smoking and love vaping. If I can't vape, I can go hours without it. Way longer than when I was smoking cigarettes.

Even right now, while I'm working, I've taken 3-5 hits/puffs whatever you want to call them, just while writing this post which took 2 minutes lol.

Vape how you want to vape. As long as you like it, and it's working for you, it's perfect.

Yes, it's very cool - and very common. The intense cravings disappear with using nicotine like this, which to me indicates what's really going on with cigarettes and the garbage they put in them, and what they do to us.

Grats on quitting, too!

Another thing I've been doing recently, which I could never have considered before, is I don't take my PV to bed anymore, unless I'm going to read. I just go to bed. I also don't take it to the bathroom.

Hi from someone who used to live in LaCrescenta for years prior to moving to Denver. When I am working, I vape about the same way that I smoked. I go outside and vape for about 5 - 10 minutes during the day. The difference is I vape more at night because I vape inside, where our house is non-smoking. So I find myself vaping while watching TV or hanging out in ECF. The quantity I vape has remained the same from when I started just over 3 months ago, between 2 and 3ml/day. However, I have gone from 18mg nic to 12mg nic and don't feel the same craving I did when I was smoking.

I definitely vape more often that I smoked, and in places that were off limits for smoking (inside the house, in my car). Like others say, I can go without for much longer without a craving. I just flew for two 8 1/2 hr legs of a journey without any issue. I'd have been out of my skull when I smoked.

I've also watched that my nic consumption did not increase relative to the analogs (PAD man, myself) and I've actually found I'm fine having backed the concentration down to 6 mg (from 16).

It's pretty clear to me that there was more than just the nic effect working on us when we smoked.

i think the ability to stop for a few hours without much of side effect is pretty important one. now that i think about it, the immediate/severe withdraw that you experience when you don't smoke is more similar to withdraw from hard drugs. craving i experience if i haven't vaped for few hours is more like a "need", similar to craving for coffee or sweet. hence, vaping isn't alternative to smoking. it is actually something quite different but it happens to help with quitting smoking. i can see myself slowly reducing the nicotine level in my juice over time and vape mainly for flavor.
am i making sense? no, i am not making sense. sorry, hard to explain. :facepalm:
