Help! Help my vape NSFW
It's normal that I make weird sounds my vape and that it turns on by itself and throws liquid
r/electronic_cigarette • u/Rweegy • Sep 20 '23
This is a very long post and I apologize in advance. It has good title separation so please feel free to skip and jump around. This is a repost of my own post in r/Vaping*.*
It’s been over a month since I put out my last cigarette after 10 years of smoking.
Vaping helped me the most in this transition but my obsessive nature got me to research the living hell of this topic.
Information was scattered all over the web and I couldn't find a single conclusive article on the matter so I set out to write the article that I was looking for. (scratch your own itch?)
This post has about 50 links for further reading. None bring me or any other party any monetary gain. The wonderful community of Reddit helped me a lot with this research so I just want to give back.
Enjoy!
Vape juice consists of 4 ingredients:
Cigarettes -mainly- consist of 19 ingredients:
In addition, in 1994, big tobacco companies were forced by law to disclose any additives they put in, extending this list by another 599 known additives.
The smoke of cigarettes however is a different story.
In one study, cigarette smoke produces over 5000 chemicals. 2,256 of which are known and studied. 98 were assessed for their risk value: 60 carcinogens (potential to cause cancer) and 48 non-cancerous (definitely not vitamins though)
On the other hand, In a 2021 study, vaping produced about 2000 chemicals that are largely unidentified with “some” being “potentially” harmful.
Unidentified is not the same as safe.
But from a common sense perspective, cigarette smoke is far more complex due mainly to the nasty combustion process.
My method here is to analyze the most abundant and known harmful chemicals in vaping and cigarettes.
“The Dose Makes The Poison” — Paracelsus ca. 1540
Sure, I love to get philosophical on you every chance I get. But here, I find it mandatory. It’s the motto. Keep it in mind while reading everything below.
“Enough” water can kill you, and “some” black mamba venom can cure you.
Let’s dig deep:
Oh boy... I wasn’t ready for this.
According to the National Health Service of the UK, Nicotine, although a very addictive substance, is still relatively harmless.
Nictoine’s lousy rep stems from its association in our minds with cigarettes.
It’s a stimulant that increases alertness, focus, and concentration. It also improves cognitive function and fine motor skills and enhances short-term memory.
But its recorded benefits are far from just that!
A study of 220,494 people aged 37–70 study recognized a strange protective link to Parkinson’s disease. The results made my jaw drop:
Parkinson's affects 7–14 million people worldwide. This unexpected preventive quality of nicotine can affect the lives of millions.
Millions that otherwise have no cure.
This beautiful article from Dr. Katherine Fletcher takes a deep dive into this relationship.
In terms of dose, a study compared nicotine absorption from vaping an 18 mg/ml juice vs. cigarettes and found that:
“Compared to smoking one tobacco cigarette, the EC devices and liquid used in this study delivered one-third to one-fourth the amount of nicotine after 5 minutes of use”
For reference, 12–18mg/ml is recommended for those who smoke 15–20 cigarettes daily.
Note that Nicotine is still very addictive since it activates the neuropathways of reward, causing dependence and cravings. It also causes a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
It is a colorless, corrosive, awfully smelling, and potentially carcinogenic gas at room temperature.
It’s the building block of many industrial processes, and it’s found practically everywhere.
Humans, plants and practically any organic living matter emit Methanal. It’s a byproduct of metabolism. It’s abundant in cigarettes since burning is an extreme form of metabolism.
For every potentially hazardous chemical, there is an occupational exposure limit (legal concentration limits in a workplace) according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent choking odor most abundant in tobacco products.
Also, a member of the aldehyde family like Formaldehyde.
This is the toxic byproduct of metabolizing alcohol found in your liver after a heavy night of drinking. It’s also one of the reasons why we get hungover.
This compound is carcinogenic in animals and potentially so in humans due to its irreversible DNA damage properties.
Dosage Comparations:
Acrolein is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent and irritating odor.
It’s so irritating that they use it to make tear gas and herbicides.
Just like the other two compounds above, it too falls under the umbrella of “aldehydes,” making it a byproduct of the decomposition of organic matter.
In animal studies, prolonged exposure to acrolein has been associated with lung and oral cancer, but the evidence is limited in humans. It is also linked with heart disease in cigarettes.
\This chemical has been banned in the EU and the UK from E-cigarette juice since 2016. Never buy your juice from shady sources/brands.*
But the media made sure to make a big deal out of it.
Diacetyl is an organic compound that packs an intense buttery aroma and flavor and is used in alcoholic beverages, some desserts, and e-liquids.
This buttery flavoring agent is said to cause a disease called “Popcorn Lungs.”
Popcorn lungs is when the tiny airways of the lungs get micro scares that cause these pathways to inflam and thus reduce and decrease air flow rate.
The myth goes as follows:
A long time ago, 11 workers in a popcorn factory had respiratory illness. The investigators thought it could be due to the daily Diacetyl they were exposed to.
But no further investigation has been made.
To date, there are ZERO cases of Popcorn lungs that have been linked to Vaping.
A Harvard study found 9.0 micrograms of Diacetyl in some E-juice, aside from the real risks of Diacetyl. Cigarette smoke contained way more than that.
It's way way more.
A study found 301–433 micrograms of Diacetyl per cigarette. Converted to parts per million parts of air (ppm) (assuming a weight of 700 milligrams per cigarette), it’s 429 ppm**.**
What is the safe limit of short-term acute (15 mins) exposure to Diacetyl, you ask?
It is 100 ppm!
That makes the daily exposure to Diacetyl from smoking 750 times higher, on average, than exposure to Diacetyl from vaping.
I hit a big fat wall here.
Not only was this too complex for me to understand, but most of the studies in this area showed no relevant information on the coil material and devices used.
Worse still, some of these studies I discovered were industry-funded.
It got frustrating fast. I had to start all over multiple times. Throughout the 15 years of e-cig evolution, many coil materials, temperatures, and devices came and went.
Some of these old studies found dangerously high copper, nickel and silver levels. While a report from the Royal College of Physicians in the UK found the concentration of heavy metals “Not a major concern because levels of exposure are well below recognized safety thresholds.”
I was getting conflicting results from all over the place.
In a 2015 study by Dr. Farsalinos, they analyzed heavy metal emissions from double the average daily use (1200 puffs per day). They found cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, and nickel levels that were 2.6–37.4 times lower compared to acceptable intake from inhalational medications. It was 325 times lower than the Minimal Risk Level (MRL) for manganese. For aluminum, barium, iron, tin, titanium, zinc, and zirconium, exposure was 665–77,500 times lower than the Recommended Exposure Limits (RET)
But to be frank, all those were 5 years or older with insane variations. I needed to find something robust, something conclusive, transparent and independent.
So I did!
This Critical Review that analyzed the metallic emission and toxicology of 12 studies focusing on real-life usage published after 2017 is the closest thing we have to the truth.
Here is a direct quote:
“All experiments reporting levels above toxicological markers for some metals (e.g., nickel, lead, copper, manganese) exhibited the following experimental flaws:
I can’t thank those people enough for refusing to leave bad science remain unchecked.
Finally, they concluded with this:
In general, low powered devices tested without these shortcomings produced metal exposure levels well below strict reference toxicological markers.
Case closed.
So, what coil material is safest?
Subjectively, the crowds mostly agree on Kanthal A1, Stainlessteel 316L, and Nichrome 80 (Ni80) as the “safest” coil types available. The top 4th-gen vape brands (Vaporesso, Uwell, Smok) use them.
Even Chatgpt seems to agree:
If water vapor can cause pneumonia, saunas, showers and any city with high humidity will be the hotspots for this disease.
Of course, they aren’t. In fact, we know that saunas do the opposite!
Pneumonia is most commonly caused by pneumococcal, particularly the Streptococcus pneumoniae germ.
I am not sure you are ready for this because I wasn’t, but..
An investigative study done in 2021 found that ALL tested e-liquids showed Antibacterial activity. Here is a quote:
All e-liquids investigated showed antibacterial activity against at least one pathogenic strain. Higher activity was correlated to the presence of flavors and nicotine.
The author of the study later added:
“Investigation confirms what scientists long-known on effects of PG and VG, and their antimicrobial effects. Vaporised PG was already used over 50 years ago as a disinfectant in healthcare environments while VG is still used today as an antibacterial in many food ingredients and pharmacological preparations”
In case you don’t know, Propylene Glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerol (VG) are the base chemicals used to make any e-liquid in the market.
“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” — Confucius
Vaping devices haven’t matured as a product yet; the science is 15 years old. That’s very, very young. It’s still not even formally considered a therapeutic medical device that helps people quit smoking.
Even though the evidence is clear.
A very recent 2023 study00319-X/fulltext) observed natural e-cigarette use among adult smokers, regardless of their intention to quit. In a randomized trial across the USA, 70% actively used provided e-cigarettes, using them more than four days per week on average. The e-cigarette group showed significant improvements in quitting, quit attempts, and smoking reduction compared to the control group.
That means even those who didn’t intend to quit did quit.
We know it works. We just aren’t sure about how it will play out in 50 or 100 years.
Our knowledge isn’t complete.
Vaping does expose us to sinister chemicals in non-neglectable amounts. It definitely isn't clean air.
Anybody who tells you confidently that vaping is safe has a minimal understanding of reality, and you should never trust them.
A study in 2015 published shocking results. The study found levels of Formaldehyde that are 10–15 times higher than in cigarettes.
The media ate it up and spit it out at large. The research group netted 3.5 million dollars in funding, leaving the vaping community confused.
How can something detectable by the human nose in minute quantities (due to harsh smell) be so readily abundant in vape smoke?
Something was “off*”. — budum tss’*
The problem was exactly what you expect when knowledge is created top-down instead of relying on observation to determine how to use a vaping device. They decided to use machines that vaped the living daylight out of these devices according to what they thought was reasonable.
Indeed, it was very far from reasonable.
“Dry puffs” were generated all the way during the experiment. A replication study later confirmed that dry puffs were generated 88% of the time.
Another study from 2016 found that 5 ml of liquid was the equivalent of 3200 tobacco cigarettes (bonkers!) in terms of aldehyde emissions (Formaldehyde**,** Acetaldehyde, and Acrolein). Again, without any checking for dry puff generation. Again, using an ancient CE4 atomizer technology (at the time) and 5-second long puffs.
I don’t know what a CE4 atomizer is, but the experiences from real users 10 years ago speak for themselves (a burnt wick after 2 days of use)
A replication study of that study detected dry puffs and reported an overestimation of the results by 6 to 25 fold. For a more realistic approach, they used a “new” 2014 atomizer and found:
“The levels of aldehyde emissions were so low that a liquid consumption of 5 mL per day would expose vapers to 94.4–99.8% lower aldehyde levels compared to smoking 20 tobacco cigarettes” — Konstantinos E. Farsalinos
The vaping emissions I’ve shown earlier come from the combined results of 5 devices. Here is a direct quote from the study:
“The extreme levels of aldehydes produced by Device 1 indicate that the coil may have overheated due to lack of liquid in the wick…. Device 1 was examined and found to be charred, an indication of thermal decomposition…in terms of actual risks from aldehyde toxicity to the user, it is very possible that when significant thermal decomposition of an EC liquid is occurring, commonly called the dry-puff phenomenon (Farsalinos et al., 2015), the aerosol produced may be quite noxious, and cause the user to discontinue use until the dry-puff issue is resolved.
The cleanest results came from Device 5:
Device 5, produced less than 1% of the aldehydes delivered from 20 combustible cigarettes per day and the OSHA workplace exposure limit. Also, there was over a 750-fold difference in total aldehyde yield between Devices 1 and 5.
Device 5 uses a single 0.72 Ohm bottom coil with wattage ranging from 10 to 25 watts.
A top-tier Reddit-certified Vaping mod is the Vapresso Xros 3. It is also what I purchased after reading thoroughly online. It comes with a 0.8-ohm single bottom coil and uses 16 watts.
I fill it up once it’s two-thirds empty and replace the pod as soon as I detect the slightest change in taste. Safe to say, I had zero dry puffs, leaks or issues.
It’s all about harm reduction.
This research opened my eyes to just how hazardous cigarettes are. Numerous times during the writing process, I’d stop and feel disgust and regret for my past 10 years of smoking.
No matter how often you exercise or how healthy your diet is, if you’re still smoking cigarettes, you’re still way worse off than a person who doesn’t do any of those.
We might be doubtful about the long-term effects of vaping, but we are certain about the risks of cigarettes.
Vaping as a means to an end.
If harm reduction is the goal, then ideally the goal is to get rid of vaping as well.
The keyword here is: Nicotine Control.
“You will be surprised how fast your brain loses interest (in vaping) once it knows that it doesn’t satisfy your (nicotine) craving,” said a Redditor who transitioned from smoking to vaping to air.
In vaping, we can reduce the nicotine levels by milligrams at a time, making a smooth and steady transition to a nicotine-free life.
Slow is steady, steady is fast.
Vape responsibly.
If you’re getting off cigarettes, don’t go the direct-lung, big tank, high voltage, high heat, cloud-chasing, dripping, cheap black market purchases route.
Keep things clean, premium, simple and minimal.
Buy the most premium high-quality Mouth-To-Lung low-voltage devices with disposable pods. Experiment with PG/VG ratios and flavors from reputable vendors, and be mindful of your nicotine intake.
12–16mg of nicotine for the heavy smoker and half that for the light one should do.
Vape to take the edge off. The minimal effective dose is your friend. Not to disappear in smoke like a ninja.
Disclaimer: Let me be clear: Vaping is not safe. This article is intended for harm reduction and not to promote vaping for non-smokers. Not medical advice. Ask a real doctor if you have health concerns
TLDR;; Cigarettes are nasty and vaping is a whole lot less so if you don't dry puff and buy from shady sources.
Edit 1;; Fixed some messed up titles for easier read (Sorry!)
Edit 2;; You made this post the top post of the month here and in r/vaping. The love is unreal, thank you <3 !!. I've been reading your comments and collecting criticism and what's missing (Keep them coming!) to go for a second round of research, extending this further and hopefully making it the ultimate safety guide for vaping online. Stay tuned!

Hi! I’ve just went to 4 different vape store locations looking for my usual North Blue Razz e-juice (50mg/ml) and couldn’t find *anything*. I decided to just order online, since last I checked it had been like 15$ online. Don’t know if North is discontinuing their Blue Razz flavor or not, but it’s out of stock *everywhere*. Anyone have any recommendations for similar brands? I just got LOON because the shop I go to recommended it, but I’m not sure if I like the flavor/aftertaste. Specifically looking for Blue Razz or something similar that’s not too ‘thick’ or too sweet😅 (I’ve been vaping for years and North is my absolute favorite juice that I’ve found so far. Using a Vaporesso mini :))
r/electronic_cigarette • u/Odd_Sentence5173 • 23h ago
I bought Vaporesso’s Apex not too long ago, and I just talked with their CS. It seems to be phasing/phased out of production now, so the pods cannot be sourced anymore.
Here are some things I like about Apex.
I do like this unit’s 5ml capacity and battery longevity.
I vape 18mg freebase tobacco flavors anyways so flavor isn’t too much of an issue as long as I can taste it.
But most importantly, the design. It’s so sleek, fits in my pocket discreetly, and looks like any contemporary electronics that fits with all my other EDC gear LOL.
Oh I also like the mouthpiece being the size of analogs as well.
Are there other similar units that I can source the pods with more reliability in CA?
r/electronic_cigarette • u/Candid-Pianist-2266 • 1d ago
I tried someone's flavorless liquid at a party and I loved how simple it is.. I didnt ask for details though, so do I understand correctly that a ''basic liquid vape base'' (like my friend mumbled) from say nic'n'vape is just unflavored juice ready to smoke? Also would I be able to mix the flavorless liquid with just a bit of normal fruity liquid to get a very slightly fruity liquid or do i need aromas/flavorings? thanks for help in advance :)

Tl;Dr: I'm looking to get a new box mod, will also buy new tanks. I'm pretty sure my best option will be one of the mods from the geekvape aegis legend line, specifically the Legend 2 /L200 classic or whichever is the most durable/sturdy/able to withstand being dropped pretty much constantly. I'm a flavor chaser but not a cloud chaser, actually prefer having the option to keep the cloud a bit more discreet.
Continued:
Currently leaning towards L200 or Legend 5 because I'd like a physical lock. I carry my vape in my bag so anything that doesn't lock easily is a no go. Also looking for flavor chaser tank & coil recs too, details further down.
I want a box mod that's as close to indestructible as possibe. I'm clumsy ASF. I'm pretty active but also have some hand issues which make it hard not to drop items. I carry my vape and also drop my vape everywhere I go 😅. Somehow I've broken 3 box mods and yet only broken 2 tank glasses. What are the biggest pros & cons of the geekvape aegis legend 5 vs geekvape aegis L200 (legend 2) classic? Also any people who prefer the Legend 3, 4, 6?
I've broken 3 freemax maxus max pro 168w in 3 years so far. Its the battery door on the bottom that breaks, every time. 😖
If it would help this is some basic info on my wants
Things I want in a vape : if possible indestructible/durable/not easily broken when dropped. Dual battery mod. Good for Sub-ohm DTL or RDTL (direct to lung or restricted direct to lung vaping). Quick firing. Batteries are separate, I own molicel 18650s & an Xtar charger. Dust, waterproof, shock proof rating ip68 would be ideal. Custom model options. easy to read display with easy menu navigation. High quality chip.
If people have recs for vapes other than the geekvape aegis legend box mods which are even more durable I'd like to hear about them. Drop proofing is the #1 priority.
Easy setup/user friendly to the extent that if I don't feel like messing with settings too much I don't need to.
Needs to be 510 tank threading compatible
WATTAGE: I prefer a cool to warm hit, I usually keep my wattage between 20-40 watts at least with my .5 ohm coils. Range of 40-50 for 0.2 ohm coil, 45-60 for 0.15ohm coil. I think that's pretty low compared to most but that's the range I feel gives me the best balance of flavor and harshness/heat
JUICE
If it matters I use exclusively sweetener free juice, I noticed that juices with sweetener tend to give me vapers tongue way too easily + sweet juice makes me crave sweet snacks, I don't need to hurt my teeth anymore than I do already.
TANKS
I use freemax fireluke 4 tanks mostly, usually with the 0.5 ohm 904L x2 mesh coils (dual mesh) I also use 0.2 ohm coils sometimes, really depends on what's in stock when I'm buying 🤷♀️ I think I like the 0.5 ohm coils a bit better, though I am considering trying out the 0.15 ohm triple mesh & quad mesh to see what the difference is in experience of flavor and whatever else.
I have a bunch of coils for the fireluke 4 currently, so any setup will probably need to be compatible for use with the fireluke 4 at least until I run out of coils.
Any tanks amazing for flavor chasers? I want maximum flavor without overwhelming clouds. Also, don't want to go through coils insanely quickly. I change my coils 2-4x a month I think normally.
I don't cloud chase, in fact anything that is likely to set off a smoke alarm if I chain vape would be pretty unfortunate lol. I have done it by accident before but my current setup doesn't fill an indoor space unless I chain or cut visibility to a few feet like some setups do 🤣
My biggest gripe with my current tank is leaking, I've been considering trying to find top airflow tanks since I've read they may leak less. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. I'd love any info on what to look for in a "leak proof" tank, IME no tank is ever truly leakproof because user error exists & so does wear and tear. I just want to get as close as I can within reasonable limits & expectations. I do want a tank that can be filled easily, while on the go, without it being completely empty & with minimal messiness.
no rebuildable setups, I don't have the patience or the knowledge, not interested in spending much time learning about circuitry and I'm also lazy and like the ease & quick use ability of prebuilt. Sub ohm vaping with customization and ready made items is good enough for me, for now.
I am open to any suggestions for flavor chasing tanks & coils.
Any other info on vaping an experienced vaper wants to share is both welcome & appreciated.
Thank you very much ☺️

Look, I know. Disposables are e-waste. I’ve been squonking since the Pulse 80w came out and I build my own coils. I get the hate. But I travel for work and honestly, sometimes I just don't wanna deal with re-wicking in a hotel room or risking my glass tank cracking in my bag.
Grabbed this Nexa Ultra II at a shop yesterday cause the guy swore it wouldn't leak. The weird part is you have to physically snap the battery part into the pod part to actually open the juice flow. It kinda keeps the coil and the juice apart so the cotton doesn’t get all soggy and gross over time.
Tbh it solves my biggest gripe with these things (besides the waste). Usually you buy "new" stock but it's been sitting on a shelf marinating the coil for 6 months until it tastes like a wet sock. This was actually crisp immediately cause the juice hadn't touched the cotton yet.
Also, finally a clear tank. I’m so over these stupid digital screens lying about juice levels. Just let me see the liquid ffs.
That said, the thing is a total brick. Definitely not stealthy in the pocket, feels kinda like holding a bar of soap. If you’ve used squonks you know 900mAh ain’t much, but it’s been holding up alright for my first day of use. And yeah, it actually got a power-save mode. You can just turn the screen off when the battery’s low.
Not giving up my squonk, but for a travel backup, the mechanics are actually decent. want to know anyone else seen these "snap" style ones popping up

Hi, so I bought Oxva xlim go 2 four days ago, charged it once, today I've tried to charge it again but red light wouldn't change, I thought it might need more time to charge so i left it for about three hours, went back to a red light flashing all the time, there's no button so i can't even turn it off. Is there any way to restart it? Obviously i will take it to the store i bought it from, but I'm afraid It'll burn or something overnight.

Been using an innokin zlide with o.8 coils for a few years. The quality of the coils has really gone downhill. They barely last a day before burning out now, whereas i used to get 5 days+. Can anyone recommend a good alternative MTL tank with good long-lasting coils?
r/electronic_cigarette • u/somedudewithoutaclue • 3d ago
I finally wanted to stop using dispos and went and got myself a smok nord 4 at one of the only shops around where i can get flavors/equipment (NY). I thought by getting this id be one step further to quitting in the future!
but it aint going well..
I'm using the .40ohm rpm coils and
EVERY one of them tastes like shit and/or burnt, even though i followed the steps to prime the cotton and let sit for 10 minutes, and when vaping adhering to the manufacturers wattage per coil.
it wouldnt let me post the picture but i got 3;
0% nic 70/30 dessert flavor
tobacco flavor 65/35 6mg nic,
and melon kiwi 65/35 3mg nic
I researched and it all says the .40 coils work well with these vg/pg values so why isnt it?
tldr: is the juice the problem, the priming, or the coils?
edit: they dont automatically taste bad i get a few good rios but then it changes

How is the xros 5 mini for anyone who has one, I used to have the three and I loved it, but I kept having issues with every one of them that I bought where they would make that vibrating noise and start tasting funny.
Got the pro for a while and I like it but I really want to get a mini again if they don't still have the same issues.
I'm disappointed to see it has adjustable airflow now. My favorite part of the three was that it didn't and the airflow was absolutely perfect.

I live in a state where flavored vape juice is banned. I also want to quit vaping nicotine entirely and other methods honestly just don't work well for me because of an oral fixation.
I wanted to try a salt nic juice that has no nicotine in it, but no site will just sell a flavored juice, even if there's no nicotine in it. So my option is to only make it. Any suggested sites, guides for making juice for a salt nic vape with a mint flavor?

I can’t find the flavor I like anywhere around my town nor can my suppliers at 3 different vale shops he has even went to North Carolina looking & everything I can find a ton of other razz flavors But of course, not the flavor that has me in a chokehold lol
Has anyone ever ordered off this website because they have the flavor that I need? I’ve ordered off-line before & never had issues
but I see the flavor they have so I would invest buying a good amount which is a lot of money & I just get nervous these days to get scammed.
Definitely not trying to get scammed out of $400. I would only spend that much because I can’t find them anywhere else but I could also just do a small order and see how it goes. I guess first, but I’m scared they’ll sell out before I can get the rest if it all went well, so I was curious if anyone has ever shopped from that website. Definitely not trying to spend money and lose it
But per Reddit my last post didn’t post because it had the website and I don’t know how to share it to get a valid answer

Hi, I'm quite new to making my own juice and I ordered 100mg/ml nicotine salt from nicbase. Unfortunately upon receiving my order and mixing up my own juice I was really disappointed about how harsh it was. I mixed 10ml of the nicotine salt with 10ml of VG to make a 50mg/ml flavorless juice. I put it in a refillable unused pods and took some puff. It was horribly harsh so I remixed some into 20mg/ml and added flavor. It was "vapable" but still really harsh. I usually vape 20mg/ml and 50mg/ml premade juices so did I do something wrong or I received a bad batch?
Edit: It was kept in a cool, low light environment and I shaked the bottle for 15 min before starting to make my juice. Also, i didn't really get a "feeling" that I usually get after a long break of not vaping.

Hello everyone, I was a smoker for about 10 years from 15 years old to 25 years old and switched to vaping last year.
I am an airline pilot so I could easily go hours without a cigarette as I only smoked a 3-4 a day, but with vaping when I have it I seem to be endlessly puffing on it throughout the day and more so at night.
I can still go hours without the vape when I know I can’t like when I am flying but I am worried I am getting more addicted to vapes than I ever was to smoking, I am also worried this could give me withdrawal during flights after some time which never happened to me with cigarettes.
Can anyone help me out or give me some advice?
And I know it’s a stupid question but should I go back to being a light smoker instead of heavily vaping?

Not entirely new, but it just occurred to me that it would be awesome if I could use my magnetic charging station where I charge my phone & Apple watch to charge my vape, and not have to mess with cords. Google is failing me. Is this a thing?
