Hmm? Either I was completely sold to the idea of Vaping or maybe back then (wayyyyyyy back then, say 5-6 years) 12MG in lables really meant 12MG lol... Because when I started Vaping, I switched from cigs completely.
Really, no shit. I still have a whole bunch of Mild Sevens Softpacks (not Mevius yet back then lol) from that era lying around somewhere at home lol.
Besides the "Wretched Week" (that one week filled with fevers, coughs and phlegm that came a few months after I switched, as part - supposedly - of the body's detox mechanism), I never had any urge to go back to the stinkies past day one simply due to the fact that after Vaping, smoking felt (to me at least) like licking freshly laid asphalt.
It did involve a decent amount of willpower on my part though, as Mods and Tanks back then were fair shite compared to the technological wonders we have now lol. My first mod, the Lambo V2 only lasted a fair bit around 2-4 hours (at 50 volts - not watts - max, driving 1 ohm loads minimum) and the Vivi-Nova tank topping it used BLOODY SILICA WICKS.
*sigh*
Going back on topic, IMHO "switching" is really just a matter of:
1) Dropping Cigs fully (and surviving the Wretched Week, which many don't as they normally blame Vaping for it lol)
2) Getting your nic needs addressed (not only do each of us have differing nic need levels, some liq don't have nic levels as marked either, especially locals)
3) Getting a foolproof setup that delivers what you need consistently without exasperating you or draining you dry financially (though sometimes people just dive into Vaping as a entirely new hobby rather than something to replace smoking, which does have its pros and cons too)
So yeah. IMHO anyway, YMMV as usual.
Number 3 at least for me is still the main issue, as Mods and Tanks do need to be periodically changed as they stop working (or lag too far behind in terms of efficiency)... and the latest stuff - funnily enough - don't always equate to "the most foolproof" or "consistent". And then there's the bloody coils and wicks to alert about lol.
That said, some folks are addicted more to the "other stuff" in cigs (not the 4000 poisons lol, the tobacco nicotine alkaloids or something) and could probably benefit from NET (Naturally Extracted Tobacco) e-liquids rather than the normal medical grade cabbage nicotine that we have in our normal E-juices.
So there's that to consider as well.
I switched cold turkey and never had issues from day one.
Its been close to 5 years and yes I still have a few boxes of stale Pall Malls on my working table as a reminder
