    Default How long until I don't crave regular ciggerettes?

    I keep finding myself wanting a analog. Since there are other addictive chemicals in cigarettes I assume this is the case. I'm on day two. HOW MUCH LONGER!!!!

    I just want to be complacent with my e-cigg. Than I'll be at peace

    So why does your signature say you've been smoke-free for 389 days?

    HA! Ditto. I think, all ex-analog smokers will occasionally want a cigarette. I fades with time, but i will always be there when you least expect it

    Well, obviously your signature banner of being smoke free for 389 days is not correct, you might want to fix that!

    From my experience it took a good 2 weeks of vaping before I stopped craving analogs. Yes, e-cigs supply us with nicotine, but as you are finding, there is a lot more than nicotine involved with the addiction to cigarettes. Which explains of course why nicotine patches, etc. have such a high failure rate. Just hang in there, and don't be afraid to light up an analog once in a while! I know I did. Eventually you'll get past it !!

    The great thing about ecigs is that even if you do light up a cigarette, its not the end of the world. Other times that I've quit. the first slip was the end, I'd be back to smoking full time almost immediately. I was a 1 1/2 pack a day smoker, I've been vaping for about 3 weeks and I smoked about a pack in the first 2 weeks. Last analog I had was about a week ago and I can honestly say I don't crave them. I have a pack sitting in my car, I could just go get one anytime and smoke one, but I don't. It's not because I'm some kind of awesome example of self restraint, I'm just not interested. I vape 36 mg like a Motherf####r though!!!
    Can't we all just get along?

    That's another good point. Once you get into vaping you can have a real cig once in a while and not immediately go back to them full time!

    Thank you all so much. I just ran out of my last pack. Yes my signature is broken. It's good to know if I ABSOLUTELY "think" I need a cigarette it's not the end of the world

    Day 1 without a analog. In 30 minutes it will start day two. WISH ME LUCK!

    Don't think that urge ever quite leaves. It just takes longer and longer vacations.

    Well put, well put.

    I didn't really think about it myself kgone. One day I'm vaping and smoking and out of the blue it was vaping only.

    S'pose what I'm saying is don't even stress on it. Vaping seems to take care of what needs to be taken care of in just the right amount of time
    (-; Poof :D
