Haha I have no cigs. I mooch off of the girlfriend. As for what you mentioned in my classified ad -- yes. I've tried everything. Every type of atty and carto [510, 901, 801, 306, 901 w/ drip shield, 808 atties... map tanks, Boge cartos, Joye cartos, Fluxomizers, etc... Tried using egos, 808 autos, manuals, Mini's, GLV2, Little Sister VV, Generic boxmod, and that about sums it up] with the exception of dual coil cartomizers. Presently I vape 6v on my Grand with a HV306. I've tried LR306's as well but they don't seem to vaporize as evenly for me as 6v / HV does.
My present setup until my UltraMax and GLV3 arrive is: Grand, 6v, HV306 IkenVape atomizers w/ Pyrex drip tip. 24mg RY4 from IkenVape as well. Hits very hard, especially in the morning. TH is so strong in the morning that it hurts my throat.

so it cant be the TH that brings you back to cigs. Now what do you think it could be? In the beginning I found myself reaching for cig's because the vapor and TH and juice was just nothing like a real cig to me so I still smoked. Now I finally find some juices that work for me but still I kept going back to cigs. Found the Lr 306 with my juices A+ no cigs anymore. I just got a new juice in that I talk quite a bit about because I am so stoked that I found another juice that could turn into an all day vape. The ecopure have you tried it? I have yet to try the ecopure rich but the reg ecopure had me already sold.
At this point, I think it's just the "habit". I've actually started carrying my 808 auto with a high capacity LR cartomizer filled with dekang menthol for when I feel the urge to have a real cigarette. It's working mostly, except the morning time when I feel I need the quick nicotine fix. It's like my brain can't sever the tie for the AM smoke.
I've tried a *lot* of juices, too. My tongue is very stubborn. Or maybe it is at a stand still for healing as I do have one or two analogs per day. KBV, BWB, FSUSA, TastyVapor, VaporRenu, Ms. T's Bakery, digitalciggz, Liberty Flights menthols and tobacco, dekangs... you name it - I've tried a lot. I have a couple beta samples for one of the suppliers that I am hooked on, but running out of fast. Ahhh maybe I'll tell the gf to hide them... so I have to resort to vaping only.
Edit: It even got so bad one day trying a bunch of flavors that I experienced a nicotine overdose. Never passed out so fast in my life. *shudder*

How did I quit? By having this thing in my hands 90% of the daytime hours. I can't stand the taste or smell of analogs anymore. Sorry I can't be of more help. But you're doing well for only a few a day!
Hey Loft, I feel your pain...LoL
I was a 1 1/2 to 2 tins a day of Kodiak smokeless tobacco for the past 17 years and only quit because I wanted my dad to stop smoking as he was a 2 to 3 pack a day marlboro feen for 35 years or so and it was definitely taking its toll on him. I said dad if I can do it so can you and that is where the journey began about 3 months ago and we have been vaping since.
I carried a tin in my pocket for a month or so because thats what I was used to, I never chewed since the first day I vaped, it has not been easy, the cravings are still there and I dont think its even possible for me to get the same amount of nicotine with juice that I was accustomed too short of an IV drip in my arm, but I have to do it for my Pop and that's all the reason I need!
There is nothing out there that will feel exactly like a persons favorite delivery method such as taste and the feeling of contentment which for most was a ciggarette mine was chew.
So my suggestion to you is find a reason to be strong! and kick the analogs once and for all... whether it be for your girlfriend or your mom or whoever it may be. Show them that you can do it and that it is possible and maybe it will give them the want and desire to do it after they see that you achieved your goal and how your life has improved.
I know a lot of people that will say you have to do it for yourself or it will not work, I say we have to make sacrifices sometimes, especially for the ones we love.
Great job by the way! 2 analogs a day from 40 is definitely nothing to hang your head about, keep up the great work and continue your search for the will and the way to give them up completely.

As a 2 pack a day smoker I read Allan Carr's book "Easy Way" and quit cold turkey (after having tried before including patches and gum). I kept completely smoke free for 3 months (2-3 packs per day). I started again but it was at <2 cigarettes a day (and not every day) which I kept for a year. I re-read the book a year later when I began to smoke more (although still under 1/2 a pack per day) and I finally quit smoking completely. I recently began to vape 0mg for enjoyment.
