I'd point out: everything said is taken with a grain of salt; you can't make someone else QUIT; and they won't quit without tasting what they expect to taste, let alone getting the nicotine they expect to get.
Id get her just trying the vape first. Not to quit cus that wont happen till she is ready to. But id agree a higher ohm less wattage. 18 to 20 mg nic. 50/50 mix. Once she is getting her nic fix from vape it will prob happen naturally switching over.I'd point out: everything said is taken with a grain of salt; you can't make someone else QUIT; and they won't quit without tasting what they expect to taste, let alone getting the nicotine they expect to get.
she sure does love her nicotine
So true.Vaping is different than smoking and it makes many people cough when trying to vape for the first time.
This leads some to give up on vaping entirely.
I have seen this happen with family and friends on numerous occasions.
Some people can't go directly from smoking to doing huge sub ohm hits of strawberry ice cream eliquid.
Some people even have trouble with the smaller devices with coughing.
You may want to look into a 24mg/ml to 35mg/ml nicotine salt eliquid.
The reason I would suggest this is because the nicotine salt eliquid is less harsh at higher nicotine levels.
This lessens the chance of coughing and may help her adapt to vaping more easily.
Once adapted to the change then she may want to look into different vaping styles, devices, and flavors
After a lil bit ciggs start tasting and smelling worse and worse. To b honest i pretty well hate how my wifes smoking smell now.So true.
A key is to not take a hit that causes discomfort. Even if you only exhale a small amount of vapor or even no vapor, your lungs are still getting at least some nic and vapor, and getting used to vape vs smoke, even if you don't see it. Go by feel and not by any vapor you may or may not see on the exhale. Go by what's comfortable. When you feel like you want a cig, always go for the vape first and vape as much as possible, then a cig. Over time you'll get used to more and more vapor, smoke less and less, and hopefully get to that point where you don't reach for the cig. The time it takes varies. Some right away, some a week or 2, some longer. Don't let her don't give up.
Im in the slow process of switching my wife from a 27 year menthol addict to vape. Its a slow road. First im figuring out wat works for her cus she cant do big dtl hits. So now i have 1 tank that hits best at lower wattage and has a mint flavor in it. I leave her ciggs on the other end of the house and when she asks i say just try this. Trying to get her happy getting her nic from it. Soon enough shel just vape.
She likes my blueberry mint. Wich is good cus i always have some mixed. Its one of my simple go to juices. I just am getting her used to getting a nic fix from vape atm. Its a slow process. But she gets jealous of how fast i can satisfy my nic fix and b done.Your wife sounds like me back in 2011. That's when I started vaping. Came to VU a year ago February, and THAT'S when I learned to vape DL. LOL
I used Nautilus Mini tanks and Kabuki clones (still love and vape one of my Kabukis on a mod at my office) on small Sigelei single-18650 mods for MTL vaping, usually with 12 mg nic and wattage at about 12.5. I had started at 18 mg and dropped to 12 after a couple of years.
Oddly enough (and I was a menthol tobacco smoker) I never liked menthol tobacco ejuice very much. Right off I loved cinnamon flavors, and still do. Also liked a funky, piney, citrus-y thing called "Grandpa's Mix" that Madvapes produced. No one could figure out what was in that juice. Sounds awful to describe, it almost smelled like Pine-Sol, but omg it was a terrific flavor. I'd have no idea where to start to try to clone it. lol
And yes, my husband still smokes, and that damn nasty smell makes me a little crazy, especially if he lights up in my car.
I went ahead and bought a hot pink istick pico 75w kit for my baby also from DirectVapor.com. I also got her some raspberry candy tape flavored ejuice at 6mg. She likes it.
3mg is the best
Most people use 12 or 18 mg at first, if they are quitting smoking.
