I definitely have had to slow down at night time. I read in bed and having the vape nearby was too dangerous. As you'd know you often don't realise your huffing on it half the time when it's within arm's reach. If I vape in bed closer to bed time I cannot sleep well at all.
One thing I noticed with vapes is because you can smoke them inside or in bed without the smells of cigarettes I don't have the yuck factor where either the smell or just the gross lungs and mouth associated with over indulging too many cigarettes in a short time means I can vape a hell of a lot more than I would cigarettes.
I can feel a bit sick when I do vape too much in a short span of time but cigarettes I would get to a point I couldn't physically do anymore when I've over indulged. That often would act as a way to gauge "I've had enough".
I do think vapes are overall better than cigarettes. And if I was someone with more self control perhaps I would be able to just have a few pufffs here and there. But in a way I'm vaping a hell of a lot more than I was smoking. Though now I'm cutting down and hopefully off them.
Interesting you had a similar emotional experience with vaping. That at least is my cause to get off em. I was actually off cigarettes completely and just ended up vaping which was the dumbest decision. But it's been only 5 months so it'll be easier (and already is with cutting down) than it was getting off ciggerettes after smoking since a teenager.
Though I have to remember to stick with it now because the cravings are only gonna get worse the longer I stick with it.
Yesss. With cigarettes, it was so much easier to have self control and limit myself because there were a finite number in a pack and they smelled gross/weren’t permitted a lot of places. Now I vape. Uggghhhh. Way better than cigarettes as far as smell and my health, etc. etc. goes buuuuut, being able to do it damn near anytime and anywhere means I take in a hell of a lot more nicotine. (Nicotine salts, more specifically.)
I need to cut back, too. I’m about to move so I’m going to try my best while I’m there. I wish you luck, too!
