Some people struggle to stick with vaping when trying to stop smoking, and there can be various reasons why they struggle. If you have been attempting to vape and it does not seem to work for you, do not write it off too soon, as there are things you can look at which may help make the transition easier. Below are some of the things you can do to help ensure you stick to vaping and not go back to smoking cigarettes again.
Dealing With The Cravings
Some people find they still have intense cravings even when they are vaping, and for whatever reason, their vape does not seem to satisfy them. You can do things to help you cope with the cravings you may have, and you can get plenty of advice on the NHS website by clicking here. There are also other things that you can do which may help control these urges, which are listed below.
Try A Different Vape Device
Not all vaping devices are the same, and some give you a more substantial hit on the back of your throat than others. It is usually this hit that people crave when switching from smoking to vaping, and if you do not get this with your current device, you may wish to consider swapping to another device. Go to your local store or look at the reviews online and choose one within your budget that you may think will do the job, and give it a try.
Try A Different E-Liquid
The vape juice you choose to use can also significantly impact the success of your vaping, and you will want to look at the mixture ratio and the nicotine strength of the liquid you are using. You can choose an e-liquid that has a stronger nicotine level, which may help satisfy your cravings, and you can also try a different flavour or brand that may also satisfy your urges. As with vaping devices, all e-liquids are different, and some create bigger clouds than others and give you more of a hit on the back of your throat. You will also want to ensure that you are using the correct type of vape juice for the device you are using, and your retailer will be able to give you advice on this subject.
Have A Back-Up Device
Many people can fall back into smoking when their device stops working or is broken, and they do not have anything to satisfy the nicotine cravings. A simple way to combat this is to have a backup device that you can use until you repair or replace your broken device, which can help you stop falling off the wagon and go back to smoking. You will also want to ensure you have a regular sock of coils and vape juice to ensure you do not run out and have an extra battery or two that can help you keep vaping and stop you from regressing and going back to smoking. Take every day as it comes, plan ahead, and when you feel a craving or urge to smoke, do something else, go for a walk, get up, or do whatever until it passes.
