Analog free almost 3 weeks!!! No cravings!!!!!

[jobisma]

So I had such a dilemma figuring out which kit to order, then it arrived and I had 2 Marlboro Lights left.So I finished them and never looked back. Here it is almost 3 weeks later, I am breathing so much better, I don't hack and cough, my clothes don't reek of smoke...oh and yes...neither does my HAIR!!!!!

I would have added an update earlier, but my laptop needed to be replaced. I was trying to read a screen suffering from major burned out pixels! So the hubsters and I had to go shopping! I know one of my favorite words!!!! Ironically, it was so much easier to pick out a laptop than an e-cigarette! My last laptop I also bought on looks and function....this time I told the geek squad what I needed and then we talked a bit and he explained some differences in terms of porches and Ferrari. I told him this time I wanted the Ferrari!

So now that I am back online, I am finally getting around to catching up on things. Having to redo the music for the iPod was real fun....NOT!!!

Yesterday was a real bad day for me, and it wasn't until I was in bed that I realized I had been so busy I hadn't even had time to even think about smoking/vaping and I didn't crave it either. This is a good thing since my goal is to quit smoking. but I do not think I will give up vaping. I really enjoy it too much! It's way better than smoking ever was!!!!!

I'm looking to make the same switch. Did u go for nicotine it non nicotine eliquids? Any other noob tips?

 

[Davenkay]

Sounds good to me! Enjoy the vaping for what it is. It doesn't have to be a road to total abstinance.

 

[Startle]

Keep up the great work!

Vape On!

Congratulations. Always good to hear about others who have kicked the analogs.

 

[haiqu]

Awesome. Only 72 hours this end, but no desire for analogs.

Way to go all new Vapers! Today is 3 weeks and no smoking YAY! I think my husband is tired of counting the days LOL Oh well gotta tell someone right? Have a great day!

 

[Tazzy July]

sorry need to make a correction my husbands tired of ME counting the days also I still have cigs left and I keep them outside so I keep forgetting to get rid of them

 

[Doogmar]

Grats! I'm almost a month without a smoke, and I got a friend into it who is 2 weeks without a smoke. I love vaping and don't see giving it up for a long time.

 

[VidGamrJ]

Congrats! I'm a day over three weeks and loving it! I tried everything to get off cigs before and failed every single time. I pretty much came to the conclusion I was going to smoke until I died. Then I discovered these wonderful little toys and I don't even think about smoking cigarettes anymore!

It's amazing how much better I feel after such a short amount of time too. No more coughing, breathing better, feeling better,.and I don't stink anymore. My (non-smoking) girlfriend is really happy about all of this too.

there was a transitional period for me when first beginning to vape. I'd say I had my first ecigs for about 2 months with increased use over that time, with proportional decreased use of analogs. It's a different throat hit, it's a different visceral sensation, and it tastes MUCH different! I couldn't go back to analogs now, but for people like me, it wasn't simply an overnight transformation, so keep with it!!!

 

[Maka]

as soon as I got mine i never thought about normal cigs, I just put my mind on the vaping.
and it was so easy, I could have gone with doing both but what's the point, i was a heavy 30 a day smoker too....

 

[fuzziefreakie]

Congratulations!!
I'm still counting, too.

 

[BeautifulInhale]

Congrats! I'm also new to vaping and ever since I started...I havent looked back! Vaping is a life saver! Its been almost 2months for me!

Since you are quitting smoking I would recommend you start out with nicotine juice. You are still going to have a bit of withdraw from the other 1000 chemicals in a cigarette. Then, as you get used to not smoking and vaping instead, gradually step down your nicotine levels. I would start with 18mg or 24mg if you were a heavy smoker.

I was a 2 PAD smoker (smoke free for two weeks now) and I use an 18Mg nicotine juice. I'd definitely recommend starting with a nicotine juice and then weening yourself if you so desire. That is my intention...first step is to just get off the smokes and having the nicotine gives you a fighting chance.

While I have been smoke free for a couple of weeks now, I can't say that I haven't had cravings for an analog. I think part of it is just the feel of the paper and what not...but I also probably should have started with a higher nicotine. Now that it's been a couple of weeks, it's gotten much easier and my body has adjusted to this level of nicotine. I still get a craving every once in awhile for an analog, but then I just stop and think about how much better I'm already feeling.

I have to say that vaping has made getting off of the analogs easier than anything else I've ever tried.
