Hey guys, new to the forums as well as vaping. I was really hoping I would vape and the desire for a regular cigarette would be replaced with the vaping of my e-cigarette. I got the Blu cig because after measuring cost, # of cigs per cart and carts per carton and how much i smoke I figured it made the best sense financially. I am having two problems at the moment though. I feel like I cant get enough vapor or doesn't feel like smoking a real cigarette. I find myself having to drag directly into my lungs to get a good hit (which i do but this doesnt solve my "oral fixation" from smoking a traditional cigarette.) The way I smoked an analog previously was to draw the smoke into my mouth and then inhale into my lungs and then exhale. I dont care bout the glitz and glam of having vapor roll out of my mouth im not 18 years old whose trying to show off to my 17 y/o buddies or my peers, im 24 years old trying to find a healthier atlernative to get my fix so I can continue throughout my day without stopping for real cigarettes. With the blu though I cant smoke this way and I was curious if this is the case with all e-cigarettes or just the blue, or if perhaps it is because it is not producing enough vapor for a serious smoker like myself to be able to draw "smoke" into my mouth and then inhale into my lungs? (1 - 2 packs a day of Paul Mall Blues, Camel Lights, Doral Lights, Marbloro Lights, or the Occasional Marblor Reds 100s, 2 packs usually when drinking)
So question 1 is:
Do all E-Cigarettes need to be drawn directly into lungs or is it just my blu because it doesnt produce enough vapor?
The next question regards the common tip for Blu cigs and that is removing the tin foil from the atomizer on the blu cig. I did the following and also pushed the cartridge out and removed all the tin foil around the top. IT seems like I am getting better vapor production but now the cartridge tends to drip into my mouth and gives a nasty taste in my mouth ( >_< gross lol )
So question 2 is:
Is this common with blu cigs to drip in your mouth after removing the cart foil, AND also ( from my understanding ) if I were to buy liquid and refill my own carts would this problem persist with the blu, AND do other ecigarettes that have users drip and fill cartridges get this nasty dripping in their mouths?
FINALLY question 3 is:
Is craving a regular cigarette normal?
I have tried to quit smoking and IMHO the nicotine is not the hardest part of quitting. The hardest part of quitting is that physical connection with the cigarette smoking after a meal, after sex, while drinking, while driving (never together of course rofl) I am trying to keep these habits in sync with the ecig cause i want it to be a success but i still am craving that tobacco.
ANY helpful and encouraging advice would be greatly appreciated! Plus let me know if I should return the blu and get a better cig that sounds like it would suffice a smokers needs (1-2 packs of 100s a day)
Thankyou all for your time and for reading this.
