withdrawal symptoms after switch?

[snf]

you kno sometimes I do have an urge to smoke an analog, especially in public around other smokers.....but at home by myself, I am analog free and make sure you dont buy packs of analogs either, that will really temp you!

True. We didn't think we were gonna get our order for another few days, so we bought a couple packs. Maybe I'll let myself run out. :-)

I think that might be a good move. Having them around might be soothing for some people, but I always viewed them as a temptation.

While you've still got some, just smoke an analog when you are REALLY craving one, and vape the rest of the time.

Over time, you'll go through the pack and they'll no longer be a temptation, and you'll be used to using your ecigarette (and hopefully enjoying it).

Thanks! I look forward to not coughing and hacking for 20 minutes every morning.

I've been on an e-cig for 5 days.....after smoking for 40 years. I was in panic mode again, just thinking about trying to quit. My first e-cig came last Friday. I read everything I could on this forum for a couple of weeks before I ordered. That REALLY helped. Watched a lot of videos also.

Last Friday, my ecig arrived. I must admit that I had it in my mouth almost constantly the first two days. But I had NO cravings. I was stunned and ELATED!!!!!!!! I still have it in my mouth a lot, but am trying to make a effort to put it down more. When I feel the urge, I take several drags. I also find I am topping off the cars constantly. I figure I will go through a bottle of juice a week......so I expect to spend $30-40 a month on juice for the foreseeable future. I can live with that as long as it keeps me off analogs.

Well, I seem to fall into the one in six catagory when it comes to symptoms. Here is another thread you might want to check out. I've got physical symptoms and they really are quite astonishing to me. Thankfully, I am able to keep the worst of it to myself

Don't worry. You do get better. I feel much better today. Oh, but two days ago I could have powered the space shuttle.

To me it doesn't seem to be the 'amount' of nicotine in my body that matters .....it's the hit of nicotine from each individual Puff that seems to make all the difference

I find exactly this also, when using a fresh cartridge and freshly charged battery, the e-cig is perfect, way better than normal cigs, it's the clouds of vapour that really make it. No analogues for the last 3 weeks now, which is a real acheivement for me.

The really frustrating part is trying to keep up with everything that goes wrong and spoils the vape. I tend to think things like atomizers should cost hardly anything and come in packs of 20 or even a 100, so you don't think anything of throwing them away and using a new one......... Unfortunately they aren't cheap and I tend to keep 'trying' to make them work for much too long after they have stopped working efficiently.

Pete, I agree with you 100% about the vapor and when everything is working fine. That's probably one of the bigger problems with vaping is the inconsistency of the product. I'm a very big fan of vaping but you do have to be patient with it.
