Anyone here smoke a few cigarettes a day while vaping before switching over?

[Kbennett65]

I still do. I didn't start vaping with the intention of quitting cigarettes, I started because I went to an out of town conference and knew I couldn't smoke in my hotel. I found I really liked vaping, and kept it up more for the enjoyment than anything else. I thought I would save money, but I've bought so much vape gear I am so far not saving any! Now that I have the mods I really like though my only expense is maintenance and liquids....so the savings may start. Some days I still smoke and some days I don't. Just depends on my mood I guess.

Woke up on a Saturday morning just over two weeks ago and decided I wasn't going to smoke after 18 years of smoking.. Never tried to stop before as I enjoyed it.. I now hate the smell of ciggies, and don't think I would go back to them...

Vaping is defo the way forward, really enjoy it..

been vaping since 05-13 and I still have a ciggie with my morning coffie

was at 2 PAD for 40 yrs.

Yep! I refuse to feel guilty for still smoking some....after all, it's the cigarettes we don't smoke that count! I have found my health has improved even with cutting back on the cigarettes . Also my sense of smell and taste, I am sure if I quit smoking totally that it will get even better.

We started vaping at Christmas, and I never quit till the end of Feb, my wife the middle of March. toward the end we were down to 2 or 3 analogs a day. One day I got up and it was cold and windy outside (we have never smoked in the house) I just didn't want to go out so I didn't smoke, I vaped and I haven't looked back since. My wife being the thrifty lady that she is kept smoking until the last of our existing analogs ran out then said no more. Even while she smoked the last of them and I was vaping I didn't crave on at all. It's different for everybody. When you are ready you will know it.

I limited myself to 3 or 4 per day for the last couple weeks while vaping (after smoking for over 20 years). When I ran out I decided I wasn't going to buy anymore smokes. You just have to remember its all about willpower. Even if you smoke half as much as before, that's a big step... keep at it.

My firsts days of vaping where chaotic, I smoked the same number of cigarettes and vaped at the same time, une week later I decided to only vape... one year later vaping only at 0 Nico.... never touched a cigarette again. I think is normal. Is that 20 cigarettes box that kills you, not that morning ciggie

Still smoked a couple of cigarettes per day for 3 years after 40+ years of one and a half packs a day. That was probably because I stayed on the same old cigalikes I started with for three years. It was only after I got into mods and RBAs that I finally let them go.

I was lucky enough to be able to put them down after three days of vaping. Shocked me as I smoked for 35 years at a average of two packs a day.

It took me nine months to totally quit cigs. I had to find the right set-up that worked for me and then I had to feel secure about my set-up to actually give up my couple of ciggies a day I was still smoking. I do think it is the ciggies you don't smoke that are important

I bought a Halo Triton in order to quit smoking. The day it arrived in the mail was the day I smoked my last analog. With a decent device and good liquids in hand, I just knew this was the path for me.

I gave my brother a Triton starter kit. He took a few days to completely transition.

I gave a family friend another Triton starter kit. After 4 months, she's down to 1 analog every few days. She's ecstatic, and my wife and I encourage her. I expect her to quit completely within a few weeks, if that.

Everyone's different.

I am overlapping. There would be no way that I could do it any other way.

I smoked when I was at home and vaped when out....for about three months. I finally decided to only purchase one or the other and that was 18 months ago no cigs...

Unfortunately I can't have a cigarette here and there. I have to stop completely or I just jump back up to constantly smoking. Unlike a lot of people on this site I still love smoking. It doesn't gross me out. I love the smell. The taste. I miss it. But I know what's best for me and won't touch it

How long have you vaped exclusively before trying a cigg? Myself I waited a full month and took a drag off a cigg. it tasted just fine on the inhale.. But the exhale was AWFUL!
just curious how long you quit before trying one..

I spent my first 6 months vaping and smoking at the same time. I didn't stop smoking cigarettes until I stopped using tobacco flavored eliquids.

I have quit for a week or two at a time and always went back to cigarettes. Even if the taste irritates me or the exhale burns, I know my personality. So addictive. So I'm just not gonna touch them. At this point I haven't touched a cigarette in a week and a half. I'm dedicated this time. I can't touch one. I also bought myself a pair of high end speakers. My roommate is holding me accountable. If I smoke I HAVE to return them.

I haven't had a cig for a little over a week now. Been vaping for maybe 3. At first I think part of it is physiological. I smoked maybe a half pack a day and a little more on the weekends for the past few years. But for me I associate smoking with activities like eating, drinking, etc. I like sitting out on the back deck early in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a cig but now I still do all that except I vape instead. At first I still smoked cigs but they were fewer and fewer. And actually went out and bought a pack when I thought my vape setup was bad. I bought an evod glass tank and didn't realize they were fickle. Mine flooded and eventually leaked out on me while driving and I nearly pitched it. Anyway I think everybody smokes and vapes at first. Just helps to ease the transition.

tried an ego on a saturday last June,was totaly blown away by how good it was (I was easily pleased back then!)so decided that after the sunday night ,the romance between me & golden virginia was over,however sunday morning I still had over half a packet & as I had paid for it ,I wasn't going to throw it away.By the end of sunday night I was the same colour as the packet ...green!Monday onwards was vape only & I've never looked back,though have to say that without all the info &advice given, here on ecf ,things might have been a bit different.
And just to add ,if people on here still smoke & vape ,its no big deal,your'e still cutting down on the cigs by alternating with vaping.

I did at first but gradually stopped smoking altogether.

I can't seem to stay away if I have a couple drinks or more.
