Slight relapse

[pjerzy]

Well I've been vaping for almost a year now and would end up have an analog maybe once in a while when I was out drinking with friends. Well the last couple of days have been unbelievably stressful with work and now ex. With all that I ended up buying a pack. Now I'm almost done with my 2nd pack. With everything that has been going on i now find myself reaching for my smokes before my dripper.

Sorry, just needed to get it out there and kind of vent a little. Thanks for being a great community. I'll be on my way.

I've done this myself before, particularly when I was working 70 hours a week. That said I found that the best way to get off of them is to put the pack away, and up your nicotine a bit. That's pretty easy for me, I just mixed up a batch of my favorite DIY juice (its just menthol believe it or not...can't get better than that really in my book) and made it at 18mg instead of my usual 9 or 12. If you get thru a few days without picking up an analog you'll do fine.

We are all human; and, its important that we let ourselves screw up once in a while. You'll get past the the torrid of shit and be back off the smokes.
Hope all works well!

Hope you find that sweet spot with your setup. What seems to be lacking?

Oh I love my set up. On my sigelei 50w I have my nautilus or Atlantis. Then on my 100w+ I have my mutation at .4 ohm. It's a habit that has peaked again.

Make the smokes harder to get to helps, leave them at work, or in the car. its sad to say but human nature makes us lazy. make the vape easier to get too I just build coils when I want a smoke or bored and thinking about smoking

When I reached for a smoke it was lack of a strong enough hit. The inhale of my starter set was way too weak. Now, there's no reason to want a cig over a vape for me. I'm always home and easy access isn't a problem either. I thought maybe you felt better out and about carrying a pack instead of equipment. Stick with it, it's so much better for you and those you love.

Don't give up! I know I haven't been at this for very long but I'm at the point now where analogs don't even interest me. I had one a couple weeks ago and it tasted like shite. I tend to look at it like food. Being overweight but trying to be healthier, I want to get to a point where all that crappy food I love to eat becomes too gross to even think about and happily prepare my own healthy, homecooked meals. I'm nowhere near that with food but I can happily say I've reached it with cigarettes.

You've come to the right place for support, Your also not alone if you slip up, We all have, so get back in there and vape happy

 

[LiftedXJ]

just keep going I mean how many years have you been walking and I bet you still trip almost daily

 

[Dimplegirl]

Slips are all apart of it. Don't beat yourself up, just keep quitting until it sticks. Maybe by something new different than the set up you have now and up your nicotine.

It's a mindset you have to enforce on yourself. Stress gets to the best of us, it's a part of life. You haven't failed, you just slipped. Dust yourself off, treat yourself to a new flavor with a little more nic, and clear your head.
You've got this....

Thanks to all of you for the support. No community like the vape community.

Little update.
Last night was a rough one, the bourbon didn't help, so I ended up smoking a decent amount. Today is different. I have a 45 minute drive to work and I didn't touch the cigs. Used my nautilus the entire way. On lunch, used both my mutation and nautilus and didn't touch my pack.

My buddy just got back from Mexico and bought a carton of Dumauier's on his way back. Apparently they changed their filter design to a recessed type (sort of like Parliaments, but a bit different).

Anyway, he showed me the filter and handed me the smoke to look at more closely. I came so damn close to lighting that nasty thing, but managed to hand it back to him and used my vape instead. So tempted, till he lit it and I smelled it. One sniff was all it took to nope for sure.
