If you’ve ever tried to stop smoking, you’re probably well aware it’s not a simple matter. Giving a cigarette a quick goodbye kiss isn’t easy when you know all you have to do is flick your lighter to draw out the process, right? Only a select handful of people have been able to use the cold-turkey technique and come out on top. Everyone else needs a little help, and there’s certainly no shame in asking for it.
Those who are only in it for the nicotine may find all the solace they need in the pills and patches designed to help wean you off of the drug; however, for most, going through the motions is as much a part of the addiction as the nicotine itself. This is where e-cigarettes come to the rescue. Though they tend to be helpful, there are some secrets only a few people are willing to divulge.
First of all, the artificial smoke you get from an e-cig tends to come from the device itself rather than the vape juice. If you’re one of the many people who needs a satisfying cloud of smoke with each puff, be sure to tell the Vapor Store associate this so he or she can recommend the brand and model capable of indulging you. Still, as is the case with traditional cigarettes, the first one you buy may not be the one you want to stick with for good.
Secondly, the key to finding fulfillment with an electronic cigarette is not straying too far from your personal norm. If you’re accustomed to Marlboro Reds, you’re not going to be satisfied with a low-nicotine vape juice. Should Pall Mall Whites be your cigarette of choice, you won’t be happy with a cotton candy flavored e-liquid. Ask the Vapor Store associate for vape juice similar to your typical brand and strength. Once you start veering away from traditional smokes, you can begin stepping down your nicotine levels and experimenting with other flavors.
Last, but not least, don’t jump wholeheartedly into the electronic cigarette. If you do, you’re going to be a dizzy, nauseous, lightheaded, irritable train wreck. Allow yourself a specific number of traditional cigarettes each day. Taper off gradually while supplementing with the e-cig.
