Glad to know I'm not alone here. Yeah I was trying to think of a way that the e-cig itself could tell you when you'd smoked about a cigarettes worth. perhaps the led could glow weaker with each puff before resetting to a full glow after 16 or so puffs.

1.5 DAYS NOT SMOKING – AN ACCOUNTING:

Unpacking my groceries, feeling “Oops, I forgot to stop off and buy my cigs”

I get up from the couch to go to another room after puffing on my NJoy, feeling “Oh, I better put out that cig I left burning”

Of course, 100x a day reaching for that cig after a meal, working on the PC, etc.

Put my ashtray away.
vaporing responsibly

Congratulations, NerdyCindy......putting that ashtray away is a giant leap! Hang in there. Before long you won't even be reaching for that cigarette at all. I promise.

The physical aspect of our addiction can be overcome rather quickly, with short but intense discomfort. The psychological aspect seems to me to be much more difficult. Every aspect of my life reminds me of when I smoked. Waking up. Eating. Taking a break. Celebrating something. Driving in heavy traffic. Working at the computer. Watching a nail-biting game on TV. Getting ready for bed. All were marked with a cigarette. And each still occasionally triggers a desire. It's not a craving, just the desire to revisit an old friend who tried to kill me but I nonetheless remember fondly.

I attended a play this past weekend. Intermission came. Smokers headed for the door, knowing the intermission was timed to their cigarette consumption. I had nothing to do but talk about how one actress seemed to be reading her lines. I snuck some vapors from my e-cig.

I'm told it could take years before the desire to smoke a cigarette is gone. Hang tough has new meaning.

windblown and TropicalBob for your support and encouragement.

But wait until I hit you all, and/or NJoy, with all my questions and problems re: this process of vaporing – as soon as I finish formulating them in my mind. I'm still experimenting with all the elements of vaporing.

I might try your patience.

I agree with you TropicalBob. Smokers will always remember how cigarettes made them feel, and there will always be a situation that comes up that will make us want that feeling again. Of course our state of mind at the time will determine whether or not we will be able to resist that urge. On top of all of that there's the void left by the routine. Which is why I think e-smoking can be so successful. Instead of popping some gum out of a package, or slapping on a patch, there is a routine, filling cartridges, screwing on batteries, and then the act of smoking, and that familiar smoke.

All these are a typical Pavlov's Conditioning...a Freudian slip of mind and a psychological sublime triggers that pushes smokers to do a thing they were conditioned to do and now we are re-conditioning ourselves all over again..like will you leave home without your cellular/handphone...? or for some your iPod?...new tech teaches us new conditioning..and we excel at this because we are after all creature's of habits.

I heard about e-smoking on Fox news Thursday afternoon. They were talking about the Gamucci and saying Gamucci invented it :roll: and it was coming to the U.S. in 2 months. I instantly got online and found all these forums and e-cig sellers that have been around for a while. I ordered a Crown7 e-cig the same day and an e-cig (and 30ml smoke juice) off Ebay Saturday. Now I find myself sitting in front of the computer chain smoking Pall Malls while I track my orders and read up on the forums! So far this is the most informative site, thanks guys!
