Did you cut down Analogs Gradually?

[Foxfur]

I quit altogether 27 hours after getting my eGo-C.
The only cravings I had were for the ritual. They only lasted a few days. I truly enjoy smelling so nice!

I recieved my Ego-c ten days ago and actually my last analog was smoked while walking to the mailbox to get my ego! So far so good. longest I have ever went without a smoke. smoked 1 1\2 packs a day for 17 years. I am so excited that I have found something that seems to be working!!

I smoked a pack a day, until my greensmoke came one evening, luckily, it coincided with me running out of cigarettes. Since then, I haven't smoked an analog. That was 9 days ago

Doesn't it feel great! Congrats

Smoked about one pack a day for over 30 years, Parliament Lights 100's (in the round corner box).

After 3 puffs on a 510 I knew I was done! It's only been about a week, but I have not had the slightest interest in a tobacco cigarette.

I like vaping more than I ever liked cigarettes. In fact, sitting at home after work I tend to vape too much. So I've ordered some 8mg nic juice.

ECF has been a great help.

2 years ago when I got my first ego kit, I was still smoking off and on while trying out liquids, trying to find a "perfect" vape. Never found it and got tired of constantly ordering. A few weeks ago I picked up my eGo T with some CE2 Ultimates (crack/leak resistant) and have had 2 cigarettes since, and both were while I let my new juice sit for a day or so. I made the mistake of filling a carto with Torque 56 (24mg) immediately after opening the package and learned that Chuck Norris exists in vapor form as well. Now, I vape exclusively, though I still have about 3/4 of a pack of analogs just sitting on the shelf next to the front door (I should probably toss them out).

I have smoked since I was 14 and continued until I was 24, then picked it back up for a couple of years and now at 26, I vape exclusively. I was a pack and a half a day Marlboro Mediums smoker during that time. Vaping has finally given me what I need to quit: taste, vapor, motion/habit, and low cost (relatively speaking).

I was so blown away by even my relativly crappy nJoy starter kit, that i smoked my last two cigs and never looked back.

One year later and I couldnt be happier!


i actually wanted to quit though, I just didn't think ecigs were actually a viable option.

Boy was I wrong!

I bounced between analogs and e-cigs for about a week before I finally made the switch. Its been over a month now and I haven't touched tobacco since.

That's not to say it isn't hard still. Once in a while I get a wiff of someone smoking and its tough to fight the urge. But the e-cig, makes a great crutch hen you need it!

I put down the cigarettes the day I picked up my e-cig. That was about a year ago. Granted at first stressful situations were hard, but I just used some 30mg juice and vapid myself stupid on those days. LOL

Looking at your signature...369 days! Congrats on the year mark. Here's to the next!

Someone at work introduced me to them on 20th December 2010. Haven't had an analog since then.

 

[BIGROG1982]

I gradually cut down. Seemed like it helped a lot better than cold turkey.

 

[nomer]

im stop smoking when my doctor told me. 7months from now hehee

I am still relatively new to vaping only been doing itfor about 5 weeks to be exact. I was a smoker of 1-2 packs a day. I ordered a kit after seeing a review on YouTube. It came in on a Wednesday afternoon, I filled her up and haven't gone to an analog since. I can say i briefly(i stress briefly, as in less then a week) tried a green smoke ECig a few years back and it never fulfilled my cravings and I was unable to fully come off analogs which inevitably resulted to me just going right back to analogs. So I think combined with the right device and nic strength it can be done cold turkey. I started at 24mg and now I seem to have settled on 12mg as my sweet spot.

Ya, I gradually cut back over the course of one day. I have bought one pack of cigarettes since I got my first PV. I smoked 1/2 of one cigarette, and threw the rest away.
I might add; that was after smoking almost 2 PAD for over 50 years.

We first tried ecigs in 2009. At the time we found them to be too fussy. It was always one thing after another, filling, cartos that went from working fine to a really tight draw very quickly, not loving the flavors, etc.

Between the two of us, we go through at least half a carton a day, with me smoking 3+ packs a day. I've tried the patch, wellbutrin, chantix, and even had a scare over nicotine gum this last fall. (I had swollen lymph nodes for weeks. The nicotine from the gum was going straight into my saliva glands.) This led me back to checking out ecigs again in mid December.

We've been working on equipment and juices since then. We're both happy with our VV PV's now. We both have at least one favorite juice. Still looking for a second all day vape for variety.

We're both under a pack a day now, and I see the day coming soon when I'll decide I simply prefer vaping over smoking. I have no qualms with cutting down gradually and making sure that we love our set up before making the final switch. I'm thrilled that both of us will finally be non smokers.

I wouldn't classify myself as a heavy smoker... half a pack (Canadian, so 1/2 of 25 cigs per pack, 12-13 or so) a day, but I did get some e-cig materials last April, wasn't seriously using them, and then my Canucks lost the Stanley Cup, stressed me some, and forgot about my vaping, but around the end of November, I made a concerted effort to stop analogs for good. I had a 2 battery eGo XL set and a Electrovapors pen-style 510 kit, then got a 510-tank atomizer which put out a lot more vape for me, and by Christmas I was down to 1 cig a day (probably could've given that up, but I didn't want to quit only to start up again). Long story short, my last analog cig was Dec. 31, cheated with a cigarillo the next day, but no tobacco since! Been a whole month, and while I have the very rare craving for a 'real' smoke, a vape usually kills that right away. Been vaping some DK Red Cola in my SmokTech DCT-V2 tankomizer setup (much tastier than those cruddy cigarettes) and couldn't be happier!

....then my Canucks lost the Stanley Cup....:

Ehhh, it's not your fault that Luongo left truck sized holes in front of the net for Boston to tear up...

I had tried to quit a few times over the summer, never got past 4 or 5 days. I got a knock-off 510 to start with, and it was ok at first, and I immediately cut how much I was smoking in half.

I got tired of cartridges pretty quick, and moved to cartos. That upped the satisfaction I got from vaping, and I again started smoking less. At that point I would have a cig once or twice a day, mainly for the "ritual" of going out to smoke... sort-of getting away from things for a few minutes and enjoying a habit I had enjoyed for ~15 years.

One day I ran out of smokes, and didn't feel like going to the store. But then the next day I still didn't feel like going, and the next day, and the next, and then I just didn't care. Now I've got an eGo-T and I've had maybe 2 or 3 in the last month, bummed from my neighbor because we were standing outside chatting and I didn't have my eGo with me and he offered.

I honestly put no pressure on myself to quit, because of how crazy I had felt when trying to quit cold turkey. I just figured if it happens, it happens. And it happened.
