Good day fellow vapers. My goodness what a strange day this has been so far. I'm off the stinkies 5 weeks today and today is the first day that I'm struggling with it, weird isn't it. It feels like I'm not getting any nic from my Nord with 48mg nic salts doesn't matter how much I vape. Guess it's just a mental thing and I'm sure it will pass. Just wondering if any one else has experienced this and how do you deal with it?
Will stay strong and I would rather drink the ejuice (dont worry I won't) before i pick up a stinkie again.
Hope you all have a very romantic vapin valentines day!

@Juan_G many a times. And I am a year off the stinkies. I had a fall back since December, but haven't touched them for a bit more than a week. Luckily it was just 1 or 2 a day. Not packets like in the past. It's really difficult especially when the dumb people at work makes my blood pressure rise. I got high freebase nic juice that helps, but o my hat its so difficult.
I understand completely even though i have the advantage of not having a stressful job i get it at home...long story. Well done on the year and im sure you can do it again! Will get some high nic freebase and see how it goes. Feel better now than this morning at least.
Sooooo the good news is that today everything is back to "normal" and I don't feel like smoking at all. Enjoying my Nord today and very happy it's Friday!! Happy weekend everyone!!!
Here we go again! Everything regarding operation 'quit the stinkies' has been smooth sailing again until tonight. Once again feels like I'm not getting nicotineafied enough after a tank of juice and salt nic in my pod device.
Must point out that I live with 2 heavy smokers and tonight the stinkie smoke actually smells good, even though I know it doesn't.
It might be time to get busy with something to distract this mind of mine lol. 42 days stinkie free today!

Let’s make it 43, take up knitting if you have to, but don’t stop trying, it’s going to taste crap and you know it! Keeping fingers crossed for a good night to you.
Hang in there @Juan_G
Take several toots in succession
What you can also try do is take a toot on the pod, hold it in, then take another toot - hold that in for a few seconds. Might help to get a bit more nic
Haha OK let's all laugh and get over itOh my gosh I laughed so much at this!

Thank you @Room Fogger & @Silver . Best of all is I can knit lol! Turns out I feel much better after having dinner, think I was hungry. Feeling is not completely gone but much better. I did try the toot hold in technique and maybe it started to work. Thanks for the support guys, I'm gonna do muuuuch more than 43 days!
This is just my opninion. Like I said before, these high nic juices is just a recipe to go back to ciggies. There is no art in saying you stopped smoking and just vape even more nicotine.
When you decide you want to quit, you are motivated. So with this motivation you vape normal juice at about 6mg nic, thats enough, because you are motivated. Now your body will get used to this low nic quickly, within a day or two. So now when you get the bad day or stressfull day, you have a 9 or 12mg nic on hand and quickly take a few drags, and beleive me that will sit you back in your chair. And you dont go chain vape this higher nic for hours, just a few drags or 10min and then back to your lower 6mg and get your motivation back again.
If you vape 48mg where do you go from there? 100mg straight out the bottle? Ill say it again, its a recipe for failure.
Ps I often hear people say how ciggies stink now they stopped. Maybe I was born a smoker, because even after 4months, when I sit between smokers, there is no better smell. Man I miss smoking, the smell and taste, no juice can come close. But its bad for you

You have a very good point there. I am more than motivated and will make it work. I am going to take your advise and change my juice, it makes absolutely no sense in quitting smoking and then getting that much nicotine. Actually thought I NEEDED it to quit smoking.
I dont miss smoking except for the taste, hated the smell on my clothes for 20 years but when my people here light up a sig it does smell oh so very good, and then I vape lol
@Jean claude Vaaldamme I stopped smoking about 3 years ago and I still love the smell of cigarette smoke - fresh smoke, as when people are smoking. I'll often make a point of walking past or standing near smokers just for that smell! And as for sitting between them -ohhh that's just heaven for me - but it makes them uncomfortable lol.
IMO I think that for most people, once a smoker always a smoker - we've just exchanged a cigarette for a mod, that's all.
So update on the mission impossible:
We got a pif with an Aspire Spryte and some tobacco juice. It kinda worked for a few days and then hubby said no its not working. So I got him a Smok Nord. We have a winner!! He is down to 10 cigarettes a day and not smoking in his bakkie anymore. Woop Woop!!
But I need to share his story. I laughed so much.
So he is in the army and every morning they have to mos do the whole parade thing. So yesterday he was standing and "op aandag" chest out and ssssshhhhhhh.... Relaxed his chest. Chest out and sssssshhhhhhhhhh.... The Smok was firing in his shirt pocket everytime he pushed his chest out
. So the guys standing next to him couldnt understand whats wrong with him. So he said he cant stand up to straight cause he hurt his back.
So last night he got home and said: How do you turn this thing off? Oops... wifey kinda forgot to mention that.
So hubby got a whole training session last night on refilling, switching on and off and replacing the coils.
Winner!!

Coming from a military family and background I can only imagine how funny that must have looked! Congrats Braki, keep fighting the good fight! When the mindset is right making the switch will come easy. and with your support, I'm sure your husband will get there soon
Ta da, it's me again!
Just a little update on my war against the stinkies. I have taken your advise @Jean claude Vaaldamme and I am happy to report that I am now only vaping 3mg juice with some 6mg on order for those, now far and in-between, weak moments.
Since the tragic loss of my Nord pod device (fell into the ocean) I have been using my Billet Box and Puma with Dead Rabbit RTA at work and its great. Only using Red Pill in the Billet and a fruit only juice in the Rabbit.
I do vape a lot, well I think it's a lot, roughly 40ml's a day but it's keeping me off the stinkies so I can't complain. My taste is still improving but a lot better, the cravings is under control and I just feel better.

For some reason my whole post did not go through
A BIG thank you to my new vape family for you guidance and support! I appreciate every one of you!

May be you’re starting too low on the Nic and you need to try the 12 or 9mg juices bud. 40ml of juice is quite a lot in my opinion especially if you’re not DIYing unless your pocket can afford it then it’s all good. I personally started at 18mg and within a month I cut down to 12 and so on. Now I’m vaping at 3mg mainly MTL so on my off days I’ll probably go through 12ml, no more. My next mix (I only mix one shots) will be at 1mg...
Congrats. Yes Im also struggling with the amount off vaping. Im more at under 20ml a day, but thats because I vape lower watts. But I do vape constantly, much more than when I smoked.
But I you can drop the nic dependency your battle is halfway won.
Guess who's back, back again...nope sorry to disappoint you but it's not Eminem 
I am nearing my 4th month without cigarettes and life has been good with out it. Unfortunately the people that I live with both still smoke
cigarettes but we all make our own choices in the end. It's not difficult with them smoking (constantly), it's actually a bit annoying because
even though at least 2 their smokes smells really good during the evening when I'm at home, it just stinks the rest of the time. But I promise
I do my best to make the place smell better at a million watts per puff
I have managed to reduced the amount of juice I vape everyday to about 20ml and rotate between 3,6 and 12mg juice. Sometimes I
still manage to over vape myself but if a juice is good and your coils & wicking is on point then I simply can't help it
My 2 favorite parts about not smoking anymore is the fact that I don't cough every morning when I wake up AND my clothes doesn't smell like
a ashtray anymore, it's a win win! As for the "YAY let's start vaping because it will be cheaper then cigarettes" yeah so we all know how that
part goes
.
I am certain if it wasn't for you awesome people on this forum it would have really sucked to quit smoking on my own and I really appreciate
every one your suggestions, comments and even jokes. Ok so before we all get teary eyed and start singing kumbaijaa around the fire LET'S VAPE!!!

Congratulations on staying off the cigarettes.
Vaping is definitely cheaper than smoking in the long term. The key is to DIY your own juice. We all tend to spend way too much on hardware in the first year or two. In the past, this was more reasonable because the equipment was evolving for the better. Over the last couple of years, there have been very few truly useful improvements, particularly where mods are concerned.
After the initial buying frenzy has been reduced vaping can become really cheap, especially if you DIY juice. There is no excuse for not making juice if you want to save money. Even one-shots will save tons of cash. If someone is capable of vaping safely then you have the ability to make juice. Even a child could do it (but shouldn't).
I would have spent way over R 70 000 on cigarettes since I started vaping. I have spent nowhere near that on vaping.
