Hiya Sharon, when I used ecig it hurt my chest and made me cough, so perhaps your's is too strong and if you lower the nicotine content, it might help :) x

in reply toBriarwood

Thank briarwood, I will try a lower one, I cough and choke more on this than on cigarettes lol xx

Yep that happened to me as well but it stopped after a while, what strength are you using at the moment :) x

On the packet it says USA 16mg and USA 25mg?? Strange, my daughter bought it for me and told the guy I was smoking 20 a day and he decided on strength x

Aup Sharon, 25mgs is weyyyyyyy to strong for you gal :( :( 25 mg is for a 40 a day smoker :o

16mgs is way strong enough for you gal, even 12mgs is best for you Sharon :)

Rite, your on the look a like fags e-cig :o ermmm, may I suggest you try the vapour ones :) cos there is a lot more flexibility with them :) as in the strength of the nicotine :)

A starter pack will cost you about £40.00 but will last you for ages :)

Take care now Sharon and hope to speak soon :) xx

Oh dear, thank goodness you asked lol, that's why it's making me cough and choke, well better get that sorted straight away, he he, thank you again for your help! Having a nicotine overdose for a start lmao!! Well I've got my gum and my patches will just have to save up for my eciggie, from now on before i do anything I will check with u guys first, it is so nice even at 5 days to be free from popping to the shop to buy fags and scrambling around for money to keep me going, I have not been working for a year and financially been really tight, most days I would sacrifice my lunch and dinner for a packet of 10 fags, or count out my 2p jar and go to the coin master so I could get them, so desperate and degrading, I do not want to be that person anymore and I am the only one that can change that, but I need all your support cos that gremlin is still living in my brain and I no he will try and surface at different times, new job, non smoker, more money, healthier, it's a no brainer!!! Thank you again for being there!!! Xxx

Sharon, dont even think about a packet of 10 :o cos you dont need them, your body doesent need them :o :P so dont :) :)

Rite you've got patches, I dont know what sort you have butttttt, please start using them :)

Put one under your pillow tonight, in its packet :) then when you get up tomorrow morning and go in the bathroom for a wash, stick it on :) cos its very near to your body temp, it will start to work faster :) :)

As for your e-cig, just use it if you really need it and the 16mg ones eh :) The gum is also very good :) :) if your not eating or drinking :) just chew it for a bit to get rid of that urge, then sort of park it up to one side of your mouth until you get that urge again :o :)

Sharon we will help you all the way through your quit journey :) just give us a chance eh :)

Like you say, even after 5 days quit, you can tell the difference :) :) soooo, you flippin stick at it gal :)

You are doing so so well :) you keep in that same frame of mind and get rid of mr nic once and for all :) :) xx

If you are using the ones that you put the liquid in, and dont look like a ciggie, def drop your nic level, some different brands give of less vape too, i use socialites, and find them fine. x

I've been using Blu and so far I have no complains about it. I can choose different e-liquid flavors as well and I always had a great time vaping it.
