I've found myself now smoking vape, cigarettes and blunts (Joking about the blunts I can't afford blunts).
I might try a less sickly vape flavour like tobacco flavoured. |
I'm off the fags and onto a vape now. Upsiude is I'm off the fags. Downside is the vape has taken over and I'm less motivated to stop.
If you've been a heavy smoker, the disposable or wee pen vapes are probably not going to do it for you. It's like smoking silk cuts. The "proper" vape setups are going to give you much more vapour and a bigger throat hit like you've actually had something.
I'd suggest getting a sub ohm mod (the bit that holds the batteries) and tank (the bit that holds the liquid) and start with a 3mg liquid, maybe even 6mg but that can be a bit too much of a hit in a sub-ohm setup. I'd use a 70:30 VG to PG liquid which will give you lots of vapour and a decent hit.
I agree most of the disposables (and in fact, most of the vape fluids) are extremely sickly. Some of them even make me actually feel nauseus.The tobacco ones just taste like crap though. If I get a disposable, I get the more sour ones like blue razz lemonade or blueberry sour raspberry. I still find them offensively sweet though.
I use coil star e-liquid which you can buy in a big "shortfill" bottle and add the nicotine to your requirements. These don't have artificial sweeteners in so are less sickly and also don't clag up the coils as quickly. I've actually taken to buying the base liquid and adding flavour shots to it and I put in about 1/3 as much as you'd normally use. Also got the nic content down to about 1mg/ml now.
I use a geekvape Ageis L200. Waterproof, robust and you can vape while it's plugged in because you become a slave to batteries. You can get coils for it next day on Amazon.
Start with the wattage low and work up. I run mine at 45w. It'll go up to 200w whichis deeply unpleasant to inhale and can singe the coils leaving it tasting like burned cotton wool. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I wish anyone who's stopping smoking the best of luck. I don't promote smoking and it's not good for you. Cycling will be much easier when you stop. However, I think this proposed law 1) unnecessary as anyone who smokes already knows it's bad and/or is trying to stop; 2) it's the back door for more government control and restriction for things you definitely won't like, and which will affect you (thin end of the wedge); 3) is clearly unnecessary as smoking uptake among young people is very low.
Sugar, alcohol, fast food, outdoor cooking (my favourite), etc. Bans or restrictions on all of them are being proposed. This is what people are like now. All the freedoms we grew up with are being stripped away. This proposal is not about smoking but about being a chattel of central planners, and that's why I oppose it. Here some people are chafing at the bit to push through more and more restrictions on the back of this:

Smoking: chemicals (including the various alkaloids smokers desire of which nicotine is only one) tar and particulates.
Vaping: chemicals (flavouring E-numbers, nicotine) no tar, no particulates but instead propylene glycol (synthetic) and vegetable glycerin (organic) which are somewhere between sugar and alcohol in complexity. Notably they're absorbed by the lungs and straight into your bloodstream instead of coating them like tar and particulates.
Some people are allergic to propylene glycol and obviously the occasional E-number. Major dangers are heating the concoction way beyond normal vaporisation (i.e. burning it) which leads to the formation of formaldehyde but no one would do that intentionally and very bad flavourings, e.g. buttery popcorn, that some unscrupulous manufacturers once used. The nicotine component is not particularly dangerous as an overdose would induce sickness and vomiting way before you could consume enough to kill. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
