I actually did a review of a marlboro after I'd been vaping for a while and gone 2 weeks without smoking....
I did buy a pack on the way home..... smoked one... and realized there's a reason I haven't touched one at all in 2 weeks. I'd have to give the flavor on a Marlb light a -20, it tastes like pirate booty, not a hot Johnny Depp pirate either, a nasty one. Workmanship sucks, the seam on the carto end was lifting slightly, the carto wrapping almost got stuck to my lip, the whole thing felt cheaply made and flimsy in my fingers, the draw to try to get a decent amount of vapor was like sucking a Wendy's frosty through a cheap, thin straw, and the vapor production was extremely disappointing. Not to mention battery life was about 6 minutes... then it's basically an empty carto. You'd have to carry 20+ and a "charging" device to get each one started just to get through the day!!!!! Worst effing vape ever. I don't recommend it. I chucked the empty carto out the window. Is there a pay it backward thread I can list the remaining 19 batteries that came in this overpriced POS starter kit in?

Once a few weeks went by I felt pretty safe from cravings too. Though beginning from about 10 months in I found myself daydreaming about this blend of tobacco from a local tobacconist here. It's organic, processed as little as possible, and no synthetic additives. I haven't bought any...but I still think about it.

Hang in there! I too have only been vaping again for about 2 1/2 months now and still get an occasional craving for a cigarette. About 2 years ago I tried vaping and went back to analogs but now I have a ego style system and it has helped tremendously over the pen style blu e cigs. You have all the support you need right here.

Just ask yourself: Is organic-deadly better that non-organic-deadly? ;)

I'm about 2 weeks into it. Saturday was my first night going out drinking and no cigarettes. I kind of avoided it last weekend.

Let me tell you, It was REALLY hard not to ask for a cigarette. I was really fiending to the point where I just grabbed a chair, sat outside, and puffed my brains out on my eGo/stardust alone. A few friends smoke bidis (indian cigarette) and I was even tempted to get one of those nasty things.

Well, I made it through. I'm happy I did.

I'm going to be buying a eGo Twist and Vivi Nova with new fluids this week - to
try and counteract.:(

I just ordered the same setup to try to counteract the same urges. I am hoping that a potentially bigger vape helps. One thing that motivates me is being able to say, "I haven't smoked since..." I like keeping a track record like that and want to avoid having to say, "I haven't smoked since...except for that one on Saturday." Basically, I want to keep the banner below true for as long as possible.

Hang in there. It really does get easier. Very few people start vaping and immediately quit, but most of us do quit. The longer you're vaping, the worse the cigs taste. They really aren't worth it. Even my little 78mm 808s put out more vapor than a cigarette does smoke. Most of the smoke was actually coming from the burning end of the cigarette, not out of your mouth, it tastes horrible... and oh yeah, it will kill you. Vape through it when you can. If you MUST have a cigarette, have one and don't beat yourself up and keep doing it, get back on the wagon.

Again, I can't thank everyone enough. This forum, has truly kept me off the analogs.
I vaped for 2 weeks and smoked a few a day, then just trashed them. I wanted off of
them that bad.

I know that if I had one, it would taste horrid, and I'd hate it. I hate the smell of stale
smoke the most, that is probably the main reason I stayed free of them.

I'm going to order some new flavor trials to see what I will like, and hopefully that will help
too, I know that when I did the switch to a Blueberry/Menthol mix, it was the final nail in
the analogs coffin.
