When I started on this, I like many others still smoked, cut down to about 3-5 a day for the first couple of weeks of vaping. When I ran out of the real thing, just stuck with the vaping. Worked for me and that was 8 months ago!

i word for 'down the road' from my experiences:

I didn't smoke any analogs for at least a couple of weeks (was just using my various e-cigs, snus, nasal snuff, NRT devices), was still having some abrupt strong out of the blue urges for analogs (usually inspired by the power of suggestion, just seeing one, seeing one smoked, etc) but was okay until I hit a real stressful snag, had a situation that really pegged my stress and upset meter and bang, back to analogs I went for somewhere between 3 days to a week

I also happened at the end of that time to sit next to somebody who had a flaming case of some sort of catchable bronchitis

so bam, the very next day after being around the sick person ever since now I'm sick as a dog, that was my last day smoking analogs too, but my lungs are still on fire, kills me to cough, etc and I can't seem to zicam this out of me or anything, about to float in fluids trying to give my lungs a chance but they're still like a California forest fire in there

sure sitting sitting next to somebody that was contagious had to do with it -- but I haven't been sick with anything like this in literally years, even when people who were sick got near me.

So, if you can avoid it, don't go back to analogs once you do get off them, I swear it weakens and confuses your system too much and makes you more vulnerable than you would have been otherwise.

Especially during cold and flu season

sorry ... didn't mean to shout there, but you are almost detailing my current experience.

i got back to analogs. i swore at myself as i puffed away. and i am sick.

i think it's that i need a better throat hit. i need to feel that nicotine?
is 24 high enough for me?

I say don't pressure yourself to quit. I got this advice from a buddy on this forum.
And I think it is great advice.
The first few days I had 6 or so analogs, but in the last 24 hrs I've only had one analog.
I feel really proud of that, and I already feel I can breathe deeper.
When I did go to have a cigarette they were not that fullfilling to me as I thought they would be.
Main thing is to find a juice that will work for you, for me it was Puresmoker Menthol
for you it may be something else.
Slowly you come to enjoy the vaping more than analogs, thats my newbie experience anyway.
Good luck to you!

Everybody has their own transition phase.

For me I ordered an e-cig thinking it would be cool to try but that after 20 years of smoking 1.5 to 3 packs a day didn't think it would really make me quit. I got my starter kit 2 weeks ago tomorrow and shockingly the first day I only smoked 2 real cigs all day(one after each meal) and then went the next day without one at all, 3rd day I switched back to the last pack of smokes I had in the house while waiting for my next shipment of carts to show up on Tuesday. Tuesday I finished off the last 3 smokes in the pack while waiting for the mail and then haven't touched one since except when I was out and my battery died one day about a week ago and then I just had 2 of my fathers to hold me over til i got home to my charged battery.

Good luck.

As of being 100% smoke free for 5 weeks, I do still think "I'd like a smoke" now and then, but I am not certain if it is force of habit or a real genuine craving for a smoke.

I have tobacco and papers in the same room as me, I've not even looked at them for a months though, let alone touched them (not even a quick grope).

If I'd really wanted to smoke, I could have...but I've ploughed too much cash and emotional energy into this to balls it up now...the longer we go without, the less likely we are to fall back into old habits (I believe).
