Trying to quit again....

[skunknik]

Hello all. Been a smoker most of my life, and had a few good times where I stopped for a year or two. Been back on golden virginia for about 4 years now, heavy smoker, and really really want to quit again.

I vaped before, stopped smoking for about a year and a half.

Trying to get back to vaping, but not as easy this time round as I remember.

Have the e-roll for work, and a couple of the larger variety that I got from liberty flights about a year ago in yet another botched attempt to quit.

Happy with my kit, but not sure if I am doing the right thing with the liquid. I have two bottles that I got with the last kit, caramel and strong mint, vg/pg mix. 12mg strength.

Happy vaping this stuff, gets me through about 5 hours before I reach for the tobacco which for me is good.

But, I am finding that it leaves me with a ridiculously dry mouth. I really don't remember this from my time as a vaper before. The juice has ethanol on the ingredients list, which again, I don't remember from last time.

Has anyone else experienced dry mouth, and if so, any solutions?

Many thanks!

The dry mouth is the PG, drinks lots of water, at least to start with, and you say you are a heavy smoker???.......I suspect 12mg nic strength is probably not enough for you.

Thanks! I used vape vg exclusively. That would explain a lot !

Thank you!

Yeah - if you're using a juice with PG keep really well hydrated (water or squash /Ribena rather than coffee or tea). If your skin gets dry you might want to use a light moisturiser too, or just switch to a VG-heavy juice.

And I agree with Whip - if you're a heavy smoker, 12mg might be a little light. How many rollies do / did you smoke a day?

I was quite a heavy smoker, when I first bought my ecig I used 24mg for the first 7/10 days then dropped to 18mg seemed to work quite well for me

 

[skunknik]

Difficult to say, never counted. But I work outside so I have nothing stopping me. Maybe between 35 and 45?

I get through 50grams in about 4 days....hence why I *need to stop!

Thanks Citrus/Whatapudding!

I think I will order some higher level vg tomorrow!

I suspect you might like to try a higher nic level as well. I was on 20 B&H lights a day, but it was always more of a hand-to-mouth thing for me than a nicotine thing. 12mg has suited me perfectly. But it sounds like you're a heavier smoker, so perhaps step it up to 18mg with a tank of 24mg on standby for when you get really itchy and want to reach for the stinkies?

Welcome mate and good to see you giving it another go to get off the analogues!
As others have said, sounds like your nic level is way too low, i think you would benefit with 24mg to start with.
Also keep your liquid intake up, i am on 18mg and still drink quite a lot, it also helps flush your body out

Getting a suitable nicotine level is a good idea, but i have also noticed among friends that they go back to tobacco iff they dont find anything with similair taste as the tobacco they used to smoke.

I bought 50ml of hangsen Usa mix 18mg, and i have been smoking it every day since i found it. You can find it at Vaporbreak.com for like 4,50$
For the price its rly worth trying.
