You really don't have to go cold turkey. Lots of folks here have tapered off by using vaping initially as a crutch.
Congrats on not giving in and smoking an analog. I smoked a couple here and there when I first started vaping, but then got to the point where I would rather vape after a week. Haven't touched one since. Good luck with vaping, just don't give up.
Some people do. If there's a cigarette in the house, I'll smoke it. If I buy a pack, I'll finish it, and not in 2 weeks, more like 2-3 days, which is what I'm trying to get away from.
It gets easier. If you stumble and have one don't beat yourself up too much. Stick with it! You can do this!
Cheers to you for not giving in. It seems that lots of people still have an analog here and there in the beginning and before long they cannot stand the taste so if you cave don't worry and just get right back on that horse. Good luck and happy vaping to you.
This sums up my experience so far. I also think it heavily depends on how heavy of a smoker the person was before they start vaping.
I smoked a pack of ultra light cigarettes every two days before I started vaping. The transition wasn't horrible.
Once you find that flavor that you really like, start hitting it when you get your major cravings. The nic urge will eventually wear off. I work in a high stress job and often crave the analogs. When I do, I just take a short break and grab my Menthol Ice. After about 5 minutes, I no longer have the urge for a smoke. Now I just crave the M Ice!
Have not touched an analog in 3 months!

i started from 3 PAD to zero in 1.5 weeks. already finding the smell of analogs nasty. spent a lifetime trying to quit, and backsliding. going to do it right this time. pretty happy I'm 5 days in, and not tearing up the couch cushions looking for a cig.
don't get me wrong. i say bad night, but this is part of the detox process. i have been through this before. would be more concerned if i did not have symptoms.
I also was tossing and turning when I first quit analogs/ began vaping. Kudos to the vets here's as they suggested I vape a lower nic/ mg in the evening. It worked immediately and no more sleepless nights.
the best not buy analog & try to forget of smoking analog and just keep vaping. i'm slowing killing that thought in my mind...
hehehe... happy vaping. i also new in vaping world. gd luck.

Sleepless nights, acne and weight gain, yeah quitting throws some extra challenges at you.
I find the smell of analogues grosses me out now, but was really craving one last night as my husband sat behind me smoking one.
I chain vaped and was ok after 10min.
*Husband is trying to go complete cold turkey in the next few weeks, I think he will end up joint team vape.

If you're young and healthy I guess "cold turkey" is fine but if you're not its not such a good idea. Years ago, before vaping, my cardiologist told me not to go cold turkey but to taper off. He said tapering avoids a tremendous amount of physical and emotional stress doing it that way.
lots of GI discomfort lately. this is the part of the detox process i really hate. just feel way off my game. can't wait for the bad dreams. still 25 is my lucky number today. i'm grateful for that.
Then I've been lucky. I was a fairly heavy smoker but haven't had any serious bad effects making the switch. I mean, I haven't stopped dead with the "analogs" just yet (it's been just a week and change now) but two cigs total in a day is about all I have. I only get this rather mild urge to "have a real one". Which I think may be because the nicotine content of the Blu cartos is too low. I've got some stuff on order to deal with that.
Every other cessation approach, though, has always been a total horror show. "Cold turkey", for one, is out of the question. I'm temperamental by nature. When I've tried going cold turkey, I'm an intolerable mass of horse's rear (he said, euphemistically). Heh, had times friends threatened to hold me down and force me to smoke they couldn't put up with me.
Even the gum and the patches, my temper goes out of control. Feel like I have a flu all the time, dizzy spells, insomnia, crazy stuff.
I sympathize with anything anybody goes through to escape tobacco. Been there, done that, chewed through the T-shirt...
