I'd tried to quit every now and then for 40 years but never lasted longer than 3 months. I went to buy my usual carton of Marlborough and on a whim picked up a cigalike and just one packet of cigs. Never smoked the cigs, immediately went online and ordered a V2 kit - and never smoked that packet of cigarettes. It was amazingly easy - I wasn't even trying. And I haven't for one minute since that day on December 5, 2013 wanted to smoke.

It was actually pretty easy, though I don't think I'm going to quit electronic cigarettes. I never really planned on it though.
For me it really happened by accident, with no intention to quit smoking. Just wanted to see if I could vape from time to time instead of smoking. After my first vape, I did not experience any desire to smoke.
I like vaping a lot. I am currently using 12mg nicotine. I may want to reduce the nicotine level eventually, but I see no reason to ever quit vaping

A social note: although I am starting to find the smell of tobacco smoke unpleasant, I have some friends who are still smokers and they are welcome to smoke at my place.
I enjoy vaping way too much. Always buying the next best thing to make my vaping more fun.
I used to think that way but the smell has gotten way too bad for me. Vaping only home here. Smokers can take it outside.
I didn't really intend to give up cigarettes completely, I enjoyed smoking socially with friends occasionally, but after moving up to a nicer ecig I find myself not wanting to smoke a real cig anymore.
About a month into vapeing I suddenly realized one day that I had not had a cig for a week--imagine my surprise.
Had one last week to stop the stress cravings; vapeing WTA to solve that problem soon.

I had been a smoker for roughly 27 years. I had tried gum, patches, lozenges, prescribed drugs, cold turkey, and even a cessation group through my Doctor's office in the past but only 3 days after purchasing an EGo starter kit I began to hate the way my old two pack a day menthol cigarettes tasted... so I quit. Still getting my nicotine fix but I smell, breathe, sleep, and feel a whole lot better.
I was a two pack a day smoker the last 10, and I was smoking for about 40. Started experimenting at age 13. I smoked 3 stinkies total once I bought a ego twist and evod tank. Haven't had a stinky in 13 months. The patches and gum never worked. I smoked while doing them. Wilburton sort of helped but went back to smoking in 2 days. Long live the APV and ejuice.
i drive a cab full time. a few years back, my city put the nix on smoking in a cab, they said, 'no more'.
having to park somewhere, jump out and smoke a cigarette ever 30 minutes or so was a nightmare, i was doing almost as much smoking as i was actually working.
so i grabbed a dinky disposable e-cig from a convenience store. my productivity shot WAY up, my company has no problem with drivers vaping in the taxi. so i was on those for a month or so.
then, i went full in and got an ego type setup with a kanger mini, which led to a vamo with a kanger aero, which is leading to a mechanical and rebuildables.

Vaping from a month, combined with 5 to 10 smokes (cut down from upto 30 a day).
3rd day of "no smoking" - and still fighting the cravings for cigs.

My plan was to get off the stinkies. With that accomplished, the next step is to slowly reduce the nicotine levels in the juices.
We're on the same path skeeter. We started at 24mg nic and dropped to 18mg two weeks ago. I think next week we are going to 12mg and see how that works. We still crave an analog from time to time but ignore it.
I've tried other methods, cold turkey and Zyban (which I found out I'm allergic to), and the only thing that has helped me quit was vaping.
