you may do better if you follow the same routines, but vape instead of smoke
Agreed. There's no rocket science involved in it, unless you really want to go funding a government study, following a rabbit down a hole trying to figure out if a six second draw on a vape is equal to half a cigarette or not. We are not sure because it's a wholly subjective well response. "It depends, physiology of the person, absorption rate, this, that, twenty other things, and on and on, ..."
If you're vaping for nicotine satisfaction instead of oral fixation, then I would regulate when you vape. Maybe try to schedule it in your head - have a vape session after 3 hours in between.
That sounds like a good plan too. I usually vape a bit and set it aside for a while, 2-3 hours. There are times I take fits of feeling an urge to vape all day it seems. So, I indulge. Some days I like 4 cups of coffee over 3, I indulge that as well despite it being advised I ought to not use caffeine due to depression. Bah, I've got the garden variety "clinically chronic" as in going to be depressive the rest of my life depression, I'll drink my coffee & you can mind your opinion because I don't mind it.
I'm a realist and pragmatist.
Caffeine & nicotine, sugar are all allegedly "bad" for us but they are very enjoyable and addictive. Not ashamed to admit being dependent, which does in point then mean I'm an addict. I'm an addict of breathing and drinking clean water too. Both of which given the right circumstance can kill you outright. I looked up how much coffee in a day would kill me. *chuckles* I need to drink 11 cups. I used to drink coffee by the pots, wouldn't dare that now. Life it seems runs our batteries down.
