Very rarely... and when I do, I think back to the last time I tried to smoke one... and the fact that I couldn't even finish the thing because it was vile.
Forget about what I've said previously. I'm switching back to 18 mg today when I get home. I know I'm in trouble because cigs are smelling good to me. Wish me luck, I need it!
For the first 3 months if I was around a smoker I'd randomly crave one (my wife smokes) but never gave in, after that they just started smelling worse and worse, don't tell my wife this but I find it absolutely gross kissing her for the first 1/2 an hour after she's had a stinky... between 3 months and 7 months every once and a while I'd get not really a craving but wanted to have one to see how it was, still never gave in...
Now smoking doesn't bother me at all, I have no cravings whatsoever... I see more now than ever what smoking does to people and I have a great sympathy for them, how hard it is to quit, how hard it is not to relapse, I tried quitting for 15 years after smoking another 7 before that... vaping is the only thing that has kept me away..
2 years cig free March 1st. Can't believe it! I can't believe I used to go to the store and buy 5 cartons at a time/month and now vaping only costs me 40$ a month give or take..

I've been cigarette free for over 3 years now(smoked for over 5years) Any craving I ever had was for my vape. I have no desire to smoke cigarettes anymore; I can't even be around smokers. I can't believe I used to be one.
After a bit more than 3 years, a freshly lit cig still smells good to me. I don't let that bother me.
I also tried to switch from 18 down to 12 not long after I quit. It didn't quite scratch my itch. I found 15 to be a good compromise for me and stuck with it for most of the last 3 years. However, a few months ago, I did cut back, all the way to 14.
Use whatever strength it takes to keep you from smoking!

Vaping at what is an insane level for me (20w) and 16 mgs is really helping the cravings!
Then it's probably too much for the build, wicking, and airflow you're using. IMO, it's better to up your nic than burn your juice.
Yeah, I'll stay in the low teens from now on!
No craving for cig since 31.07.2014. Not a bit. Began with 18 and EGO-W...worked. I did the challenge...
I'm still at the point I crave them all the time. I've dual used for years. Made it several days this time and then smoked again today. Will try again tomorrow. I have no will power though is my problem.

I'll have 7 years of vaping under my belt in April this year. I can truly say that once I quit the smokes a year after starting to vape I never had a craving for another one. I went from 2 PAD to 6 cigs a day the first week or two and quit completely on my first vaping anniversary.
I probably had the hand to mouth habit more than a craving for the chemicals in the cigarettes. As long as I had my pacifier I was good.
Tobacco Absolute (TA) and/or Acetyl Pyrazine (AP) is the key if you want the "real" cigarette taste. I've only started using it in the last 6 or 7 months, but it's the key to mixing your own great tobacco flavors. I use two drops of 10% TA in 50ml of DIY juice to make a weak tobacco flavor stand up. Most of the time all I need is .4% AP to make Hangsen flavors talk. I only use TA sparingly for those that really need it.
