stangmama77 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm almost up to my first week analog free and have noticed that I'm crankier than normal and always hungry. I was wondering if this is maybe a sign of withdrawals from the other chemicals in the analogs that I'm no longer getting. Have any of you gone through similar problems, and if so, what helped you through it? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Water, water and more water. The water will help flush out your system. As far as the crankiness, you may want to up your nicotine some. stangmama77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already at 18....but I have a couple of flavors that are 24 I think. they're a little harsh, but I have vv/vw so I can adjust I suppose.

Bebop Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Most definitely could be part of withdrawls. Up your nic. Increase multi vitamins. Get your sleep. Maybe vape 24 during day and cut back at night if you have sleep problems. B vitamins, B complex and calcium magnesium are key to restful sleep. Hope that helps Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the longest I've gone completely analog free in my 2+ years of on and off vaping, so some of it's throwing me for a loop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I hear you! All of us had different levels of addiction and a host of reactions to quitting. The good news is it gets better and when you finally get the monkey off your back it is a great feeling stangmama77 and Compenstine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is it gets better and when you finally get the monkey off your back it is a great feeling Just increasing to 24mg in the last couple of hours has actually calmed me down a little, and have started to increase the water intake. Vitamins to follow when I feel a little more comfortable getting to town......we got more snow today lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangmama77 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 So I've increased the nic to 24mg using an older tank I had (smok aero 2) and the coil that was in it. It's showing to be at 2.8 ohms and I'm so new to the vv/vw I'm not sure which way to go with the volts/watts. I'm using an isick20 and I know they seem to run a little different, but if anyone has any ballpark suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.

jasonculp Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I usually start at the lowest wattage setting and work my way up. You can do the same on voltage setting. You will know when it gets too high, either the vape will get too warm or the juice will start tasting burnt. I usually start on wattage and go up in 1 watt increments then once I find a spot that is close, fine tune as necessary. Hope this helps! stangmama77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangmama77 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Thank you. This deffinately gives me a starting point Until today I was just keeping it where I had it when I walked out of the shop for the most part, but where I started using the different tank and the coil had a higher resistance I was just at a loss lol. Until last week I was still using non variable egos so it's all new to me. Edited February 22, 2015 by stangmama77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be an expert in no time! stangmama77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 All good suggestions have been given... with the exception of taking in tea or coffee as a substitute for water. Tea and coffee both contain caffeine, which will interfere with sleep. They are both diuretics, which means it will cause your body to get rid of the liquid inside it. Add the dehydrating effects of vaping and you'll wind up with a nice headache at best. I'd stick to water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangmama77 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 True, and thank you. I know just plain old water is best just wish I could flavor it safely lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yep, Tam is correct... When I started vaping I was downing two pots of coffee a day and vaping was drying me out like crazy... headaches, cotton-mouth... ugh Now I still have my two (big) cups in the morning, but switch to water through the day (drink roughly 2-liters daily, minimum)... and still have a Mt Dew occasionally, too... and I'm much happier! If you're going to flavor it, adding a little lemon juice is good, but try to avoid things with sugar, like kool-aid... it doesn't hydrate you the same, and you'll actually go to the bathroom as often as you would with tea or coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangmama77 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for the advice and yeah I'm trying to avoid extra sugar as much as possible anyway and i most certainly don't need any extra headaches. I'm already prone to migraines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeF Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Get a Britta filter or pitcher. It removes a lot of the tap water taste and you will grow to like it. I used to drink about 4 large coffee's a day with Pepsi in between. Since I have been vaping and lost my sense of taste due to being dehydrated once in 5 months, I switched to strictly water and have never felt better. Vaping and caffeine dehydrate you. Water is great. You could mix it up with flavored sparkling water. stangmama77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangmama77 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks! I have a britta and that does help some. Here over the last day I've taken in more water and I am starting to feel somewhat better. I read somewhere about something called infused water where you actually steep fruit (lemons, limes, strawberries, etc.) in the water and it lightly flavors it.....might try that. And the sparkling water, I forgot about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
