A friend asked me to roll a few cigs for her the other day as she had forgotten her rolling machine and knew I could do it by hand.

I actually felt slightly "dirty" whilst doing it, and promptly went to wash my hands afterwards. It was a totally unexpected reaction as I was a bit worried about being tempted, being that close to real baccy again. No chance!

I'm off them for good! :)

Its only been about a week since i have smoked a analog, 2 weeks since i started vaping. Lastnight I went bowling with my wife for her birthday and our friends showed up (dont see them often) and when i gave one of our friends a hug all i could smell was a ashtray. I hate saying that bc i was like that if not worse (pack and a half a day) but it really hit home for me lastnight, the taste, the smell, just everything about analogs. They all smoked their analogs and I was perfectly fine with my e-cig :)

Lol, ya'll are probably going to laugh at the reason I smoked again this past week.

I convinced my wife to get a mod (Alt Smoke's Omega) this past Tuesday. I hadn't had a cigarette in about a month, but she HAD to have just 1 last pack of smokes before she would start using her Omega. What did I do? I chain-smoked about 3/4 of her pack when we went out on the town that night. Needless to say, she started using her Omega full time on Wednesday morning.

I can't stand the taste or smell of analogs anymore, but I did it just to get her cigs gone so that she would start vaping again. She no longer smells or tastes like an ashtray, which is nice. My two days of coughing has been worth it since she hasn't complained about wanting an analog since.

I'm sorry, but all of these "I wanted to vomit" stories make me think about a friend of mine when we were kids. His dad caught him smoking and made him sit down and smoke an "entire pack" of Camel non-filters (that was when parents were pretty mean! lol) and my friend hasn't touched a cigarette some 40 years since. Cigs are disgusting....

FYI he probably only got through 4 or 5 of them, turned green and vomited! His dad said, "If you want to smoke again after that....have at it."

I had that when I was 16 or 17; My dad saw me smoking and he said you are going to a party tonight... But first you are going to smoke the remainder of my pack. Was about 20, took me a while, went out ... But never stopped smoking .... untill I actually started vaping a while ago

Nearly a year of my mom and pop arguing with each other, accusing each other of taking packs from the other's carton. When the volunteer fireman showed my dad the evidence from the brush fire they put out (second time), I was caught. Never forget it....everyone else sat down to a great pork chop dinner; just a freshly opened pack of non-filter Camels on my plate. I got most of them down, then projectile chunks! Plan B was pops bought me my own carton thinking that the "novelty" would be gone, I'd quit, and just as importantly I'd quit filching from their cartons.

They didn't count on the "hero" aspect....the thing I wanted most in life was to be like my pops, right down to the straight Camel hanging from his lips. I suffered a heap of punishment over the ensuing years over smoking. To this very day vaping, I'll chop my exhale into parts and the second will be a big, perfect smoke ring....just like my pops did.

I smoked a John Wayne/Yul Brynner (we were all warned) while my batteries charged, the evening I purchased my 510 starter kit. I purchased a second kit the next day, then burned another Camel three days later out of curiosity. I won't lie. They were both good, but nowhere nearly as pleasing and satisfying as vaping. I seldom think about cigarettes and then only fleetingly without any cravings, but I've got a pack of YWYBs in the top drawer of my tool chest and I'm going to fire one up on the 22nd....and another on April 10th, from here on out.

That's the plan from here on out and I expect those two Camels a year will taste real good. Otherwise, I'm done with them because I'd most likely have been the first in my crowd to switch to a PV in the 1960s had they been available and I'd discovered them. Sadly, I see so many people failing with PVs, so I have to give serious, shark-attack props to Ellen at my local PV store. She heard my story, went over to mega-shelves of juices, picked one and loaded up a 510....handed it to me and game ON!!!

Backups? We're on VECs and I carry, those, a 510-T, a PCC with cartridges, and a 10ml bottle of juice when we do a day trip. As for smokers and second-hand smoke, I love the smell of tobacco smoke, and it in no way nudges me toward lighting up. I don't think about it any more, I just enjoy and continue to be perfectly satisfied with what I have and am doing.

Good luck to everyone and regards,

I bum a smoke every now and then, like maybe once every three months or so...

I guess I do it because it's fun to remind myself how much I no longer care about them.
Really, I guess it's because I like the feeling of knowing that I am the one with the power over them now.

They produce very little vapor compared to my Chucks, not much throat hit, and they taste pretty nasty.
There is simply no way in hell I would ever go back to smoking those things again.

My father did this to me with Camel non filters too. When he'd leave the room I'd split them in half and light both ends. THere were probably over 30 butts in the ashtray at the end, but as a non smoker he didn't notice. It didn't stop me from smoking and only manged to burn the taste buds off my tongue from the non filter. I actually kind of enjoyed being allowed to smoke in the house for that one evening.

I agree with everyone else on this thread, cigarettes are a big flavor, throat hit, and vapor disappointment after vaping. Every time I retry one I am astounded how bland they taste and get annoyed with the lingering vile stink.
