I think bcarter mentioned that it is not just smoking you are also withdrawing from toxins. If you are unable to quit smoking outright then just cut back as much as you can. You have to give your body time to recover. It's used to seeing all those toxins daily and it's going to object at first. You have to balance your motivation with detox and just KEEP GOING. You can do this. It gets better, I promise.

Why risk damaging your unit when you can just dry burn it? Do this in Alcohol and risk it flaring up. Sorry, but that is the worst advice I have seen here next to making coils out of bread ties.

Glad to hear it was resolved for you. I just got word and was about to contact you when I saw this post.

I started with 24mg a few months ago when I quit cigarettes. After a month I dropped down to 12mg, then I started dripping my own diy flavors and went to 6 mg. after a few weeks of 6mg I went down to 3 and now I'm at 0 nicotine. You also got to ask yourself what you like more, to have a good amount of vapor when you exhale or do you like the feel if a strong throat hit on the inhale. Big clouds = a higher VG and lower PG juice and throat hit = a higher PG and lower VG juice. Just do what ever it takes to kick the habit of smoking, you'll feel like a new person!!

the consensus that I got here, is that we should start high on the nicotine and lower as needed. I started with 18 mg, but I am moving up to 24 mg because it doesnt seem to be enough.

I'm trying to contact a few people for you now. Hopefully, we'll get this resolved soon.

Exactly this. I was able to say "I am done, no more cigarettes" from the first vape I took. It wasnt super easy but I was extremely motivated. My wife on the other hand still kept a pack in her purse for one here and there if she needed it. She was not as motivated as I was and honestly her primary motivation was that I was doing it and she felt like she sort of had to even though I never put that type of condition on it. Within a month she also couldn't stand the taste or smell of a cigarette. Thing is it takes the right equipment and liquid-nic strength. That is probably one of my bigger pet peeves with the advice I hear about where to start. Most of my friends that started vaping and have been successful with it, those I have helped, all started with 24mg liquid no matter if they were a light smoker or a heavy smoker. That's where I advise everyone to start if you are trying to kick the stinkies. There are far more things in cigarettes that are addicitive besides nicotine and your body will crave those plus you have to deal with the toxins that are leaving your body. For a few weeks you might be more prone to acne, headaches, gastrointestinal problems and your tastebuds will be all over the place. A good dose of nicotine can help you cope with your bodys withdrawal to all the carcinogens and addictive chemicals (those that kill you) as they leave your body.

I've noticed that in some cases it takes somewhat of a life style change to help quit smoking as well. For me it was social situations and anything that involved beer. My wife really wanted me to quit smoking and I tried a lot of things before I went to vaping. It was to the point where I would drink just so I could have the excuse to smoke. That sounds pretty bad, but thats where I was headed. Now I find myself drinking a lot less and on the occasion that I do indulge, a cigarette just sounds rancid to me. It took a long time to get to that point though, and like everyone else has said, different people will have different triggers and different obstacles to overcome analogs. Just try to identify those situations that make you really crave them and try to adjust fire a little bit next time you feel that way.

A lot of times, the vape-shop will use a battery that is not fully charged, or a variable-voltage battery that is set at 3.3V (lowest settings). Another difference is the type of tank they have their juices in... different tank's coil orientation and resistance will taste differently. An EVOD tank also comes pre-installed with a coil, usually 2.5 Ohm or 2.2 Ohm, but sometimes a low-resistance coil of 1.5 or 1.8 Ohm. The juice will taste differently with different resistance coils. Pre-installed coils are not always the best coil... replacement coils almost always last longer and provide better flavor. If the juice tastes hot or burnt, you should use a higher wattage coil, or turn down the Voltage of your VV battery (if you are using one), or try a replacement coil. Personally, I prefer 1.5 Ohm coils at 3.7V, but some juices just taste a little better with a 1.8 Ohm or even a 2.0/2.2 Ohm coil.... especially bakery flavors or chocolates. OhmWrecker is correct... high PG levels will make a harsher throat-hit, but if it tasted good in the shop, it should taste similar at home (in your tank). The only variables should be the type of tank (top or bottom coil, single or dual-coil), resistance of coil, and Voltage applied from your battery.

There is not an educational system created by man that can fix this kind of stupid.

Hey ya'll, Got my sampler of Tobacco juice from Halo. OMG, love thier flavors. Really liked the Longhorn for the closest to tobbaco flavor. I got in this sampler Prime 15 Longhorn Tribeca Turkish Torque 56 Midnight Apple I have not tried the Turkish yet. I will try that one next. Love, love love the MIdnight Apple. Probably my fave so far and they came in this really cool round tin box that I can reuse for somethign else! Anyone have any suggestions for other samplers like this? Also, when I sampling these flavors I think I need to get the other flavor completely out of my tanks. Any suggestion there? Lastly, Thank you so much for the idea of putting tape over the hole on my mini protank. I really disliked the airy draw from it, but now it is great! Valita

I thought about using twisted wire for my KPT. Do you wrap 30 gauge or do you use a tiger coil?

Personally I find a single twisted coil rebuild KPT out performs the KPT OEM dual coils hands down.
