Anyone else with a vape experience? Good or bad?
It appears to be working for me. Might it for you?
I used to smoke Marlboro Reds. Then I tried the patch. Then the gum. Then the lozenges. Then the disposable pen e-cigs. Then I finally went out and spent some money and got myself a good vaping rig where I could choose my ohms and watts and the level of nicotine in the juice.
Now that I'm able to "dial in" to exactly how I want my nicotine delivered; it's practically perfect and I couldn't be happier.
As a smoker, I always knew that I was just doing a drug. And I liked the drug. But I never liked inhaling the crude combustion product of coarse plant matter. It made me cough and it stunk and it was just gross.
I remember thinking that if only there was some other way to get the nicotine in my body, as well as cigarettes did but without the smoke, then I would be happy. Chewing was even grosser than cigarettes so that was out from the get-go.
Vaping has been a god send for me. It gets the job done without all the penalties.
I prefer to have a large dose of nicotine in a small number of hits spread out throughout the day, so I use a high level of nicotine with low ohms and high watts.
I have friends who are the opposite, that use a low dose of nicotine and just never take the thing out of their mouth all day.
I find it interesting that different people have different ways in which they prefer to use the drug. Some like to have waves of highs and lows where others just want that constant drip.
I had a cigarette a while back to see how it was and I didn't like it at all. It tasted horrible and just wasn't the same as vaping. Both the way it was delivered into my body and the buzz I got from it was different. I much prefer vaping nicotine to smoking it. I'm very happy that I have it as an option. And the fact that it is less unhealthy is just the icing on the cake.

How long did it take to free yourself from the analogs (vape-speak for tobacco cigs)?
I spent a few years trying the patches and gum n'stuff, but they never scratched the itch.
Once I got dialed in on my new rig and that itch was being scratched, then there was instantly no longer any use for the cigs.
The cigs will still give me the "buzz", but the way I have my rig set up I like it better than cigs.
I bummed one the other day and still was not disgusted.
Yeah, I left my ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery System) in the car one day and had to have a cigarette from a friend. It got the job done it just didn't taste as good and stunk.

Another question: if you're really really really excruciatingly honest with yourself about it, how good is that "buzz" anyway?
As good as the buzz from caffeine.
So its not as good as illegal drugs, but its a good drug nonetheless.
Are you really getting a high off it
Yes, absolutely. Without a doubt.
Wake n Vape is the best...
is it possible the "high" isn't really much more than the relief of ending that discomfort?
Not really. The relief just adds to the element of the high.
So, let's say completely and utterly sober your "high level" is at a default zero.
Now, nicotine may only take you to a 5.
And the withdrawal may take you to a -10.
So when you smoke you're feeling a "high increase" of +15, but that's only getting you to a true +5.
I'm willing to put up with the -10 to get the +15 feeling, but I won't kid myself into believing that true +5 above zero simply doesn't exist.
