Just started vaping

Hello all I just started vaping and still trying to get the hang of it. It's difficult to know when to stop, it's not like a cigarette that you stop when it's finished.

 

I used to smoke 100's, and they would usually take about 7 minutes for me to finish. I too just started vaping and give myself that same time frame. It's been helpful, and I've even cut back on that time as well. It also depends on the strength of your juice. I have a super high mg right now so I don't need as much as often. But I understand the struggle. It takes some time to adjust, but you'll be squared away in no time.

 

I had a similar issue. Due to nicotine being rapidly absorbed I say inhale a few times at the start and then wait and see if the craving goes away. If not, you can always have more. Having too much nicotine will just get you more addicted to the substance which is undesirable.

 

Thanks for your replies, I will put them into practice. I know that if I have too much nicotine I get really jittery so I guess it will have to be by trial and error. I'll try your advice first @ciaran071198 and build myself to what you have said @Acheno84

 

Good luck! Vaping is a bit tougher to transition into if you don't get used to sort of the "drip feed," or just being able to slowly give yourself nicotine and run without huge spikes from cig to cig. Once I realized I could just take a couple of puffs between sessions, I got much more used to having low nicotine, smoking less frequently and eventually never needing the cigs.

 

Thank you, and thanks for the advice. I have noticed that it doesn't get rid of the nicotine bug as quickly. I think it's all a question of habit, once you get used to it you don't even think of cigarettes.

 

At first, it's really difficult. You can use your own methods to limit yourself. Like assigning a fixed amount of juice or a certain amount of time like 5 mins. You have to somehow work out. If you are taking nicotine free juices then you can vape as much as you want otherwise stay at a limit.

 

That's a really good point! I'm new too, and usually just time myself according to what I'm doing at the time (like stepping out to chat on the phone ... call is over, so then I'm done). So far I haven't really done it without something else to do - and the something else sets the time. But this is a fascinating thought. Without an actual end, what provides the end?

 

Thank you for your answers I slowly get used to it now. I normally will vape on my intervals and because it's not like cigarette that burn itself out whether you smoke it or not I take in only as much as I feel like it. Sometimes just a few puffs will while other times I will vape for a little longer.

 

Well, it can be difficult at first but as you will be habituated soon. At first, I was also having various problems but as time passed I was habituated. I ensure you that quitting smoking is one of the best decision in your life and I am glad you started vaping as it is much safer than the real cigars.

 

Welcome man! I know vaping can be very fun and its really hard to stop once you get going. It's amazing!

 

Word of advice to a beginner, take it very slowly. I've said this numerous times to other people in the forum. Don't go overboard with blowing clouds. It can be addicting just looking at the amount of cloud you can produce. It's not as bad as cigarettes, but you'll feel it if you use too much. Plus the nicotine can get you really light headed, unless you're using juice that is nicotine free.

 

Yeah, good tip right there as it's totally entertaining to blow huge clouds, so taking it slow is a good tip.
