everything from the draw, to the sharpness is very different and the person who sold it to me was trying to sell it on “cloud size”. And charging/refilling are even more obnoxious than running out of cigarettes. I will say it’s helped me cut back on cigarettes at least, though I’m probably hooked on nicotine more than ever.
For this, you'll actually want to go with one of the Big Tobacco-backed vapes, because it's also what they want – the closest thing to smoking. I suggest Juul or Vuse, both of which are backed by Big Tobacco, contain nicotine salts (fast acting like smoking), and have a similar draw and lung hit to cigarettes with smaller vapour than other devices.
You'll also completely avoid refilling and everything, as they're "closed pod" systems.
For five years, I considered (ritual aside, as you can do it discretely essentially anywhere) vaping to be superior to smoking in every way. Good luck.
Most vapes I’ve tried end up lasting a couple hours when turned on unless I spend a whole night charging.
(Vs having been a cig smoker for years, now just socially, and I can easily moderate to whatever level of consumption I want, w/o cravings. Not so w/ the vapes!)
God this whole thread makes me want to smoke again.
I still smoke cigarettes when I go fishing. But I can drink beer or coffe just fine with the vapestick.
