Could you ever go back to analogs?

[Zal42]

I was replying to this link, but thought that it might be an interesting thread of its own.

I could never go back to analogs. I am officially addicted.

I was caught without my pv recently and borrowed an analog from a friend. It gave me the nic I needed, but everything else about it was awful. It tasted terrible, it created ash, I had to be careful about the burning bit, and I ended up with a ..... I wondered how I ever put up with it to begin with.

The weirdest thing for me, though, was that is actually felt old-fashioned, in a quaint-but-glad-I-don't-have-to-do-it way, like cooking over a wood-fired stove instead of a modern stovetop.

How about you?

I tryed one after 2 weeks of straight vaping it was awful I couldnt make it past 2 drags and just thought how did I do this for 20 some odd years ( I hate making myself feel old ) lol
oh yea so to answer the question NO

I honestly still like them. I had 2 or 3 last week that I enjoyed, but I didn't enjoy smelling like it for the rest of the evening. I'll always be tempted to have one if there offered, but I never feel the need to go out and buy them.

I could never do it, I've smoked a few since I started vaping and each time I get nothing out of it.
No satisfaction or anything. The throat hit on it was almost non existent, Plus I could never ever again live with the worry of all the health consequences that come with analogs.
I don't miss them at all

No, never going back to cigarettes and smoking again. Didn't purchase my first PV to quit, just to use it when it would be more convenient, but 4 hours later realized I didn't want or need to smoke again. I'd found something different that made smoking no longer needed. Almost five months later, I'm no longer addicted to nic. Again, after abt a month of vaping it was a thought but not one that had a specific timeframe or even knowledge that it would ever happen, simple a desire to see if it was possible. I see continuing to vaping for quite a while in my future but for exactly how long, who knows. What ever happens in my future I will never smoke another cigarette and that's simply amazing to me.

I would go back only if they were outlawed suddenly and I had nothing to vape. My plan is to reduce my Nic levels down to 6mg and stay there for the rest of my life (husband smokes and I need something to cope). If they outlawed it then, maybe I could could just vape VG with flavorings but I don't know if that would mentally work for me

In a word, no. Unless I had no choice, and there was a ban. At which I'm sure I'd be protesting with the rest of you on the steps of some government building.

Its funny thats the big question all smokers ask me now, "Do you still want to smoke?", and well yea. Thats why I have my eCig, but I don't want to smoke cigarettes. Honestly I really prefer vaping over smoking, and my wife feels the same. Its cleaner, taste better, better nicotine hit, WAY CHEAPER, and so much more. Its a brave new world!

No. I have no desire to pick up an analog and no cravings whatsoever. Many of my friends are smoking around me and it doesn't bother me a bit. I'm done with the analogs - as simple as that.
Vaping in public felt weird at first. Today I seldom give it a second thought (unless someone comes running like a bat out of h3ll: "Quick, get that cigarette out off your pocket ... you've just put that lit cigarette into your pocket", or "What kind chemicals are they putting into the tobacco that turns the cherry blue?").
I quit because of the smell. Just couldn't put up with it any longer. These days the cloud behind me smells of cookies and cream rather than a bar.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a casino for three days. I thought I would be tempted, but I could not stand the smell and I could not stand the smoke. And I had to take a shower each night before I went to bed to get the smell out of my hair.

All that said, I am very addicted to nicotine, and if I ever was out of my supplies, I bet I would. I need to find out from grandmato how to ween off nic!

 

[Throat hit]

I don't think so as long as I have a good PV and liquid supply I'm happy vaping. It is easy to vape more so than regular smoking and we are creatures of habit if an easy option is presented to us we take it. No more broken lighters full ash trays you know the rest..

 

[JuniorNA]

because i'm in a corporate environment, it gets slow sometimes and it's always "smoke break time" so I will occasionally have one but I went down from 2 packs a day to 1-2 analogs a day. I don't hate them, but I do like the fact that I can vape anywhere, and I hate the smell of an analog now...although the wife hates the smell of vapor...how crazy is that?

She wouldn't care if i blew smoke in her face for 20 minutes from an analog, but when i vape she says "eww, that's nasty, you really don't know what you're vaping, it could be cyanide"...I want to strangle her when she says that.

she rolls her eyes when i start with the whole USP grade ingredients bit.

 

[OnMyWay]

Unless I kick my nicotine addiction, there will always be a chance that I could become a smoker again. But as long as I am able to purchase vaping supplies, I will not be a smoker.

 

[Pissy]

I definitely would if my pv was banned and I couldn't find black market goods. Got to get my nic! Hate the smell, taste, mess,,,,,,,but I know me!

 

[donnah]

after 3 months I can't imagine ever going back.. as long as I can vape I know I will never pick up one again but if I couldn't vape.. I don't know. I had a friend over the other day and he is a smoker, just the smell of him was enough to make me physically sick to my stomach, my stomach was actually rolling! I don't want to smell like that to other people ever again!

 

[Maxine]

Never say never (which I just did) but I hope I never go back. Take away vaping, though, and more likely than not I'd be smoking again.

 

[Windpray]

Well I would like to think that I would not go back to regular smoking, I don't miss the dirty ashtrays, the dirty trash can bag after I emptied the ashtray in it, burn holes in some clothes and burnt marks in carpet where the lit end of the cigarette fell on the floor by accident. I also would like to think that if I had to stop vaping it would be easier without all the other little additives in the cigarettes, not saying it would be a snap but I think it would be easier. I love my PV and the whole experience of vaping and can not believe it took me 47+ years to discover these wonderful alternatives, well since they have only been around for 5 years then 5 years
