Suggestions on getting over that first cigarette in the morning

I happen to agree with you on this, to some extent. But just as there are many different types of vapers, there are different types of quitters. Not everyone has the strengh to flat out stop. The first cig of the day was the hardest for me to get over. I could manage the rest of the day. I made myself wait more and more, before I lit up, until it became easier not to light up at all. What worked for me, might not work for the OP, but it might help until he gets what he needs (backup, higher nic,etc).
For me the hardest one was the after meal smoke. Only advice I really have is just stick with it, that's what I did. If you want to kick smokes bad enough you can do it 
if you slip up though don't beat yourself up.

What worked for me was to just light the darn thing. I don't want to mess around playing mind games.
BUT, I took a puff or two, put it down and picked up my PV. Sat there and watched it burn out.
Worked perfectly.
Did that everytime I wanted one.

Yeah, that first morning cigarette. I decided on my fourth day to just vape thru the cravings...and that was with a cig-sized with cartos. The thing is that you probably don't absorb the nicotine as quickly when vaping. It took me 45 minutes that first time, and serious puffing, to get past the cravings. Have a set-up all prepared, maybe even on you nightstand, so you can get started right away when you wake up.
As for eating. Well, it was my third day in the afternoon when I had a piece of apple coffee cake (we have a couple of apple trees in the backyard). Now I know of no scientific peer reviewed research that says apple coffee cake is a trigger for cravings, but I can assure you that is most certainly is. That may have been the most powerful craving I ever had...puff puff puff on that cig-sized...I did manage to vape thru it.

That has actually been documented and quantified in this study...
Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new-generation devices : Scientific Reports
That link is required homework for any new vaper
Before. It got the point, to where I just didn't want or need it, anymore. Every now and then, I feel like having one, but not enough to actually do it. Now the only thing I miss is the "timer" aspect of it.
You are probably one of the lucky few, LOL
TRUE!!!!
And before you know it,,,,,, you won't be thinking about cigarettes.
In the first month, I had 3 to 6 suggestive thoughts to light up.
The second month, 2 to 4 ,,,Now NONE!!!
For the first morning cig don't make it a vape or cig choice. Vape first thing in the morning and then have the cig immediately after and see if that cig has the same effect as it used to. When I first started vaping I kept a pack of cigs around the house but would vape before I had one and I found the cig just didn't have that effect anymore because I'd already absorbed nicotine. Hope this helps and good luck!
In my case, the smokes did it FOR me. It was a little over a week into vaping (after smoking for nearly 50 yrs.) that I went out on the porch to have that first smoke after eating b'fast. It made me sick as a dog all day and I haven't had one since. One day, you'll light one up and it will taste like death and you can put them down. In the meantime, congratulate yourself on all the ones you don't smoke and don't fret over the few you might have during the day. If you can, vape thru the urges and make sure your nic level is high enough to do so.
After a meal, sitting on the throne, getting in the car, taking the dogs out for a walk, getting up in the morning, those were all my "triggers" to have a cigarette.
The first few weeks I had a white-knuckled grip on my APV and basically toughed it out. It does get easier!
As others have said, if that one cigarette is what you need to stay level, don't beat yourself up over it. The important number is the count of cigarettes that you don't smoke!

I slowed down my smoking quite a bit when I first started vaping. It took me about a month to fully give them up. To get me through a craving I'd just puff like mad on my PVtill the craving subsided.
Actually I only smoke cigs outside anyways and my other half won't let me vape in the house either. Work is an issue. When I say coffee drinker I am talking all day coffee drinker. Everyone at my work smokes except a hand full of people which makes the issue of avoiding the smell a problem. Cigs already taste horrible especially since getting NT ACB. I quit 13 years ago for three years(2 solid weeks of migraines which is my worry) and have tried on and off again ever since. I am of the thought process that I have to but a date on it or I will look for excuse not to. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and will keep you posted.
