Day 6 vaping. Not feeling the vape today. It just doesn't seem to be giving me the "kick" that I need. I'm just not enjoying the vape and I DONT want to go to the shop...
I'm on 18 mg which is high enough for me. Every day was great except today. I guess this is my "day 3."

Hey LeesaD , You are in the thick of the mental battle as your brain re-wires and repairs from all the poisonous damage from cigarettes. I promise, it will get easier as each day passes, just take it hour by hour, day by day, keep busy, lots of water, bit of exercise. You are going to get bad days - quite a few of them, but good news, for everyone overcome, you will be stronger to deal with the next one, embrace the journey and get that sword up ready to attack at all times, you can do it!
It happens Leesa, cravings just seem to come out of nowhere. I wish I could tell you why it happens but I haven't got a clue! Try to keep yourself busy to take your mind off it as much as you can.
As Nozmo states the cravings are often random. I hope they are gone by now, but when they pop up try to concentrate on something else such as exercise, reading, a project, or anything that helps you ignore smoking urges.
Stick with it. The more you use your vape, the more used to it you will become. Don't go to the shop. You are doing so well, far too well to give in now. Remember , unless you are going to smoke forever then you will have to quit at some point. If you give in now then you will have to do this all over again.
I'm vaping too and although it makes things easier, by no means does it make giving up smoking easy!! I'm into day 36 and I've had some cracking high days where I feel so on top of it, today is not one of those days!!!
Be kind to yourself, remember that you are supporting your quit and not replacing smoking with vaping, well for me that is the case.
You are doing soooo well!!! Get that treat, run on the spot, have a bath, do anything to take your mind off the shop, render it not an option. This is the best place to get support so keep coming back here, you will get through this
Above all, be kind to yourself x
