A full week w/o analogs. :D

[lachesis]

It's been about a week without any analogs.. and the urges for it is slowly going away. I haven't had much analog urges in past a couple of days at all! I wasn't much of heavy smoker - about half to 3/4 ppd with Marlboro lights - but I just had to "smoke" something.

When I first started, the chest hit was an issue for me. It wasn't giving me much chest hit. But for some reason, after 7 days... that complaint is pretty much gone.

I've been exclusively vaping 801 past few days - and I'm finding it's the most satisfying one out of my 3 e-cigs (rn4081, DSE901, and DSE801). First day, I liked RN4081 the most - then my favorite became DSE901 - but after a week, it's DSE801 bar none. The amount of vapor it produces, longer battery life, and for some reason, I'm getting much more of throat hit with 801 than before. I'm just carrying my minis around just in case - I might just give away to my friend(s) who'd like to start up with e-cigs.

I've been using Cash liquids mostly - I ordered 11mg sampler - but I've been adding some 18mg TW Marlboro if I thought the hits/flavor's a bit weak. I add a couple drops of TW Marlboro onto Cash Cola and Cash Cap... and it's just awesome!

But one downside is that I'm really OD'ing the juice, it seems... within a week, I've probably used at least 10ml of 30ml TW juice, as well as probably another 10 ml of the sampler + most of the carts that came with the starter packs. Yikes...!

However, this is by far the easiest quitting smoking while enjoying the inhaling and getting my nic fix. My wife is still amazed that I'm sticking with this and all.

And the best part is... that it will only get better! Newer e-cigs with more efficiency in producing vapors... lower nic juices with much better throat hits, etc.

Same order for me! lol

Congrats on a week analog free, that is such an accomplishment


I hope to be able to say that one day soon.

Congratulations!

It helps me when I see posts like this. I'm on day 6 with my 901s, but still reach for analogs every now and then. The screwy thing is I don't really like them anymore, and I know it even as I reach for them. Hopefully I will completely drop them soon.

Do you think using the 801 made the difference for you? I like the size/weight/feel of the 901, but am tempted to add an 801.

Congrats lachesis on your week. That makes you feel so good! I'm entering my 5th. My 2nd week was the hardest and I think it was because of all the other additives in regular cigs that I was withdrawing from. I found by using a little higher nic content juice it helped me take the edge off the stronger cravings. Entering the third week I felt I was home free. Good luck!

Congrats on making it through your first week. Tomorrow will be a week for me. Thanks for the ideas about adding TW liquid to the other brands, I will try that. I like the strength of the TW and the flavor of some others.

Congrats!

I'm going on my third week without an analog. My husband still has up to 3 analogs a day, but that is BIG for him. I'm very happy with the experience thus far with the 901's from smokeytreats.

Good job Hma95, I am happy we have a good alternative to smoking. It makes it so much easier. Not to mention you don't smell like an ashtray. That's a huge bonus for me.

Thank you all.

I really like my 801. I like the fact that 801 doesn't even try to look like an cigarette (I have stainless steel one). My first impression was rather... meh. But it really grew on me. I'm getting tons of flavor and I also like the fact that I don't have to draw so hard too - it's very relaxing experience. Thing about other minis - to get good vapor and throat hit, I tad to draw quite hard. Initially it was much more satisfiying than 801 - but harder I drew, harsher the taste got. with 801, hardly no liquid gets into my mouth and all.

Some of the weaker flavored juice might taste a bit more recognizable - such as apple and cola - on minis... but with full flavored strong ones like coffee, I am emmensely enjoying them on 801. You know, coffee and tobacco, always goes together - and same goes to the cocktail of those 2. Coffee for the taste, and strong tobacco for the kick...
