Hello Everyone

Hey there people. My name's Cai and I guess I'm a relatively new vaper. I picked it up around Christmastime - got sucked in by all the flavor choices at a local smoke shop when I went in to pick up cigars. I still smoke cigarettes and cigars, but at a much reduced amount (half a pack a day to about 3/4 cigs, less when I'm not at work). I honestly haven't found vaping to be a viable replacement when I REALLY want a cigarette, but it does cut down the amount of cravings. I like it as an alternative to smoking a cigarette, rather than as a replacement to one.

So, yeah. Hi.

 

I go through a variety of flavors but mostly I use a combo of RY-4 and clove flavor as my standard. There is no such thing for me as a flavor that can completely match the cig experience (the feel and temperature of the smoke is different than that of the vapor, even if you get a flavor match) but my clove mix at least comes close. The juice has a 1.8 nic content.

The hardest thing for me to give up about smoking is the side benefits, honestly. It's acceptable to walk away from work for 5 minutes to smoke, or to step away from your screaming kid to go sit on the porch and have one, but not so much to do those things and just stand/sit around. I've tried using the vape in those situations but it isn't the same, and that's when the cigs come out.
