Quitting analogs

[Richie G]

I've been vaping for a few months. I'm still smoking analogs...I was at about 5 a day and pretty proud of myself. Then I hit HIGH stress (my mom passed away unexpectantly last week). I'm back up to about 10 a day. I'll have to work back down. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I do believe that technical issues make you reach for an analog. I still haven't figured out how to get a CONSISTENT good vape. When I don't fell like putzing with it, I reach for an analog.

I think 5 a day is much better than 20 a day.....and that in itself is an acheivement.

Thanks so much. I only cried a little bit at work today, so I'm making progress....

The odd thing with me is that I didn't set out to quit smoking analogs...it just happened. I smoked for 41 years and was up to well over 2 packs a day After over 3 months I'd never consider going back to smoking. As a matter of fact, after the 1st day I found that I really didn't like the smell of cigarette smoke at all.

Thanks for the post all. For some reason in the back of my head I thought I should not put this thread here because I was a supplier.But I am so mad I just cant magically transform into a e-smoker 100%. I have tried around 4 e cigs and 12 diffrent juices but I seem to not to comply to the average person.Maybe trying more e cigs would work I dont know just frustrated.......I think its more a mindset...... My Wife and Daughter come back from Peru in 10 days and am hoping If for example I try 10 analogs 1 day the next 9 analogs the next 8 until 0.
maybe I will be cured from analogs when they come back?

Do you have any idea why you still crave analogs? Are you having technical issues? Not enough vapor? throat hit? You say you've tried 4 different e-cigs and many juices....maybe if you post which came closest to working for you and why, someone could chime in and offer some input?

I cannot post on the e cigs as I am also a seller.There is just something that is missing and I cant pinpoint it.Its either a certain chemical that the analog cig companies added to a cig or its my deranged mind.Its like when I try any e cig- I have a great fixation but in a little while my thoughts think about a camel analog, grr....

Hate that it's not working for you, Rain, but, like a lot of others have mentioned, it's different for everyone. I read a post some time ago that it's harder to quit with the e-cig the 2nd time so if you've quit analogs with your PV, don't go back to analogs thinking it will be a piece of cake...that's actually what's kept me off of them (lol). In the past whenever I have found something that helped me quit it was always so easy to start smoking again because I was, like, "hell, I can just quit again". But going between smoking and not smoking wasn't all that fun either. I'm now a Happy Vaper. I had 4 analogs left when I received my e-cig in the mail and smoked 3 the first day and 1 at the very end of the second day - it tasted great but left a horrible taste in my mouth, one that I just couldn't get rid of and every time I think about smoking (mostly when I'm out drinking), I think of that awful taste and how wonderful my e-cig tastes. The farther removed I get, (I can't believe I'm even saying this because I really never in my life believed it would happen) the less I want an analog.

I believe it's due to the addition of harmine in cigarettes. IIRC, it's an additive that induces that 'dreamy' peaceful feeling when smoking. There was a discussion about it some time ago, but I can't find the link right off. A search of the forum might turn it up.

So you have a whole storefront selling something that doesn't work for you? Is this really a question of what you're doing wrong or the only seller in the thread telling how it works for others with a link to their store? If you're struggling I'm sorry, I just having trouble believing the sincerity in this thread..... What do you tell your customers???

Tropical Bob wrote something about this a while back. If you search through his name (a lot of VERY good posts) I'm sure that you'll find some answers. Sorry not to be more helpful.
