Venting vaping, any advice?

[cyanidekitty]

i've recently started vaping occasionally (mainly hitting my friends vape when i see her) but i still dont feel much. i still get a buzz because im relatively new to it but idk how to feel

i did it just to try & its not addicting & its beginning to hurt less when inhaling. while im grateful that it isnt addicting i also feel somewhat guilty for doing it because my bf has caught me before

he almost left me for it which whatever but idk i think im just bored w my life & want something to feel.

ill probably end up dropping it, hopefully anyway.

i have been vaping on and off for about 3 years, and only recently got semi addicted. but if you're able to drop it, i would recommend doing so

I don't notice any effect from the vape either. Not even from tobacco... so I smoke to "look cool" and because I enjoy doing things that are supposedly bad for my health, not because I actually like it or feel anything lol. I'd like to try weed, but I don't know how to get any.

A lot of addictions start this way.

i knoww & thats why i dropped it again for about 2 almost 3 weeks because i was nervous that it'd become a habit after work..

my nic addiction is so bad man. i have to take a hit the second i wake up in the morning because i cannot function without it. it also helped me lose a little weight which was the only good thing about it. it does give me a sore throat every now and then but thats only because im an idiot and refuse to get a new vape so i just inhale a shit ton of vape juice...... i would suggest you to quit if you can.

I tried vaping a couple times. I think the device itself was burned out because I just felt a little more even and steady in the head but nothing much more than that. I strangely wanted to do it more and thought about taking another hit for hours after the first hit. I limited it to one time a day, but after the first few times I just never really wanted to pick it back up.

I have a feeling you're vaping to self-destruct/self-harm more than to chase a neurologically soothing escape like many nicotine addicts. I don't encourage self-destruction, but there are plenty of other better ways to do it than vaping. Vaping isn't really lethal like this. It's more so insidious and causes a bunch of health issues. So, if there's some abstract long-term CTB intentions, it's best not to put those intentions into vaping.

There's no advice most people can give you except to not vape. Eventually your body becomes dependent on nicotine. It becomes habitized to reach for a vape when stressed. It's a very inconvenient coping mechanism. But if you're insistent on ruining your life to feel something, learn a little smokers etiquette:

(1) DON'T BLOW THE SMOKE IN SOMEONE'S FACE. Just because it smells like tooty fruity mango booty, doesn't mean someone wants your secondhand smoke blasted in their face as you're talking. Blow the fumes to the side.

(2) Don't smoke inside unless you are permitted to, or it's your own fucking room. Thirdhand smoke is dangerous, especially for babies and animals. Nobody consented to inhaling the chemicals just because you needed a smoke and didn't care that you were fucking over your own health. Don't sneak into places that don't belong to you like a school bathroom or the room of somebody who didn't tell you you could vape in there to go vape. That shit's disrespectful as fuck. Not only would it put other people's health at risk, it's also just being an inconsiderate prick.

(3) Wash your hands after vaping, if you're gonna be handling things that don't belong to you. Like handling someone else's food, giving handshakes, touching animals. The chemicals do linger.

(4) If you smoke outside, stand as far away from people who haven't given explicit consent that they don't give a shit about your vaping as possible. Don't stand near entryways and shit. GO AS FAR AWAY from the general public AS POSSIBLE. It's one thing if you're with friends who are okay with that. It's another when you're in public. You don't know if someone has asthma, is allergic to the chemicals, or is trying to quit vaping themselves. I'm sure someone trying to quit smoking/vaping wouldn't like seeing that while they're just trying to go to the grocery store, for example.

As you can tell, I have strong feelings about this. The gen pop doesn't care if it smells like blueberries or bubblegum. It's still cancerous. It's not less dangerous than a regular cigarette. Be respectful, and don't put others in danger.​

yea see..i still dont really understand how people can enjoy it that much BUT im not one to judge cuz everyone's different.

Felt. I wasn't seeing how vape addicts be twitching and begging to borrow strangers's vapes if they don't have one on them and shit. Literally fiending.

thank you so much for this! its really informative imo. & thankfully, im slowly starting to feel that this whole vape thing is just getting gross at this point.

im sorry :(( i wish you the best as far as being able to quit. & if you've tried quitting then remember, only one day at a time!

hurting when inhaling for the first time, is nature's way of telling you not to do it

the damage it "can" cause to your lungs and overall health is immeasurable - you have to do what makes you happy, but to just start with something so potentially dangerous is probably not a good idea. most people do not just drop dead suddenly from using substances, their health starts to diminish and then gets progressively worse. by the time you have horrific issues, it is too late to do anything about them, and sadly they tend to go for a long and painful time

definitely, im just hard headed. but i seen my friend twice at work now and didnt hit her vape. i think id rather it stay that way
