xtraelf,
likewise I am a long time smoker, albeit not as heavy. 1 pack a day since 1962. I have also tried all the alternatives to quit and found none of them to be effective until I tried the e-cig.
I gave each try a real effort and even managed to have stayed away from the analogs for over a year twice. The problem was, it was and "EFFORT".
I got my first e-cig 60 days ago, as did my oldest son. We put down the analogs and neither of us has even had the slightest desire to pick them back up. I didn't even miss the nic, yes I went no-nic on the git-go. Sure, I'll do some nic maybe once or twice a day I'll do a single drop and then several days or even a week I won't. That is one thing I really like about the PV, I decide if, when and how much, but if I want I can still vape all day and not intake any nic if I so desire.
I enjoy the act of smoking/vaping, it is relaxing to sit back and watch the vapors rise and swirl, twisting and winding their way along in a blissful dance, carrying away my troubles and anxieties with them. Well, I can hope can't I? Anyway it's a stress reliever and stress is the biggest killer of them all.
Let's face it cigarettes actually taste like crap. With vaping you can enjoy the action and also the variety of flavors.
I wish you the best and hope that your transition from the analog to the PV will be as effortless and effective as mine was.
