Still trying to quit totally

I didn't see if you wrote the strength of your juice, but you might take a while to get adjusted to getting nicotine through vaping. It has a different effect than smoking, but I'm sure after a while you'll get the hang of it and be able to estimate how much of what strength you need. In the beginning I think I vaped very inconsistency because at that point I know the nicotine helps but I was still craving whatever else my body was withdrawing from.

 

I have been living here in Chiang Mai for about 10 years now, so yeah, asiaexpat, I'd still be here when you come up to Chiang Mai. Welcome!

David, I am currently using a 12mg nic juice. Honestly, I have not expect to be able to be off ciggies for 4 days straight now. I am quite impressed not with myself, but with how vaping CAN be a replacement.
I tried nicotine patch (looong ago), chewing nicotine gum (looong ago), duracig, but they all failed to take of me off ciggies for more then 1 or 2 days max. LoL

Unlike duracig, mods and atomisers can look so damn beautiful and expensive too if one is to go buy everything that pleases the eye. Some Original ones are really nice.

I am actually thinking of starting a little collection. Slowly of course... but I am thinking of getting at least 1 nice original Mod and a nice original atomiser for my regular use, and then clones just for collection and use occasionally. I think maybe some of you are already doing that. : )

Well, let me just say I am glad I found you guys, giving so much advise and encouragement.

Oh... by the way.. I have not received my istick50w. Gonna be Monday i think.. the wait....... : (

**Updated**

quick question please. Can anyone tell me where can I find a good range of Original things that can be sent to Thailand? I have been looking around, it seems that original ones aren't always available, sold out. Basically, I am trying to look for a Mod and Rda or Rta. Hard to find somewhere I can browse and choose.
So, if juices are hard to come into Thailand if I were to make an order, it would even be harder if I were to order hardware?

Hope someone can direct me. Thank you so much.

 

Totally agree, I tried the gum and it was useless. Quit twice using vaping and was really easy both times. Was really easy for me to quit vaping as well, but I may stick with it longer this time as last time I went back to smoking...


As far as original things....I know many mods are originals, and if they're not originals some are very well made.
As far as atomizers, the RDA/RBA market is huge for clones (for the replaceable coil atomizers not so much). I have an original and non-originals and I'm not really sure I could tell the difference.

Anyways, you can post for specific items and see. I don't know about those items specifically, but I think Fast Tech (whether you want to deal with them or not is another issue) has a really large selection and ships from China.


I also see a lot of gear on Thai Facebook Groups. That's a good place to find some stuff. It's in Thai, but you can translate it in your web browser etc. It might be used, but you can find a large selection of stuff and in Thailand (quick shipping and no risk with customs).

 

Thanks. I will look them up. PMed you also. In any case, still on the subject of quiting smoking. its been quite sometime now that I have had my last cig. A week or so? Taking in 12mg seem to help quite a fair bit I think. Got my istick50w from Big and it is certainly wonderful. I can adjust the wattage to suit my need so that I dont cough so much. LoL

Also, saw there was a Vape Con in Malaysia just last weekend. Looked interesting. Imagine if only Thailand did not ban this. We would have so much choice and fun.

 

Well, its been no ciggies for me since Songkran April 13th till now. A month and five days. I am actually quite surprised I lasted that long. Do I still feel like having a analog cig? Not really, temptations? Honestly, yes somethings. but than I quickly chain vape for a good 20 to 30 mins and I stop thinking about the analogs cigs.

Means, I MUST always have my iStick 50w and Subtank plus with me at all times. Ocassionally, I use my RDA for choosing other flavours. It has been fun with vaping. So many things to learn, so many nice mods and atomisers to look at.

I even introduced vaping to 2 other friends here while at it. Many are curious with what we are doing and what is this item in our hands that can create such huge clouds and for the matter, the smell is nice too.

Will carry on and continue to vape on...

 

What I have now is istick 50w, Kanger subtankplus, Iguess those are my regular use.
I have in my son's pencil case, which I took it from him, to contain my King's mod clone, Dark Horse RDA.
I also just bought a Kayfun v4 clone, which I am waiting for the sub ohm kit to arrive to activate it.

That's all I have for now.

I am considering getting another VW tube mod ( I really dont know what to get yet ) looking at Vamo or Selegei or something that can sub ohm and goes up to maybe 40W. So far I dont really think I will use more than 40W.

 

The IPV2 mini could be a great back up or even a primary mod. I'd recommend the Goblin RTA to sit on it (but build only, no pre-made coils).

Congrats on your journey, it's just the strat and you went through the hardest part. Or the easiest.. the hardest being not to spend a tremendous amount of money into vape gears ^^

We are glad to have you among us, @Xilver. Vape proud !

 

Yes guys, I am still a little shaken with what happened to me with the mech mods on 2 short burn out occasions, so until I am confident and know what the hell I am doing, I will stick to regulated mods for now. I am fine with building coils though.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will continue my search for vaping gears. And yes Tibo, hardest part is trying not to spend too much money on mods and atomisers and all things shiny. hahaha

 

i stopped by using gum, was chewing for 3 years but vaping is just so much more fun.

 

I found the gum to be totally frustrating. Just kept the nicotine addiction alive. I still craved a cigarette, so I'd chew more gum until I was nasuous from nicotine overdose, and was still craving a cigarette!

I was a two pack a day smoker for well over 30 years. Tried most of the methods to quit. When I got my first vaping kit I just decided it was either vaping or nothing. Had a slight craving for a cigarette for the first month, but it wasn't bad and went away fairly quick. I think another factor for me was this was my 5th or 6th attempt at quitting smoking and I was more determined this time.

 

Yep, chewing gum or patch did no help me at all. But with vaping, so far, I find I can keep my hands busy with fiddling with rda and mods and dripping liquid that replaces the holding of an analog.

 

Yesss that was the key when I was in the quitting stage too. You really need something in your hand to fiddle with, old habits die hard I guess. I was using the ego types while cutting down on the cigs and got off in about a month.
