Yeah, Liscab.....remember when I ran out of juice? I had the analogs.......oh God, disgusting to me.......the smell, the taste.......only made me realize I will never smoke analogs again......ecigs for me.....making sure from now on I don't run out of juice.

I bet you got dizzy.....all those chemicals...made me dizzy.....hate them darn things.
no dizzy it was only 2 puff,I didn't wanted to do it but thank god I did, in a few minutes a lot of friendly hand gave the right advise

well, liscab, look at it this way.......your 2 puffs confirmed that you do not want to smoke anymore......that is good. Now you know what you have now is so much better than what you gave up in those analogs.

I found out when I went to 0 nic, I did crave an analog.......not going to do that anymore...going to 0 nic and nicotine alternating.......nic in the morning and nite, 0 nic during the day.

I would rather vape nicotine than analogs.

edited: you can proud of yourself......you only took 2 puffs. Not the end of the world. In the morning, Phil will be out and hopefully say spring is around the corner and we can all smile a big smile!!

liscab, I want to tell ya something that I found out today. My own instincts were to grab an analog today when I found out about my older daughter, but I didn't. I have 2 daughters and a son. My one daughter is my best friend in this world. At 34, she developed Cervical Cancer. She is in remission right now but her checkup is this Friday. Nervous, yes, but I will not touch an analog. My older daughter , who is 35, has Celiac disease. They think it is Refractory (the worst kind) or Intestinal Cancer. She is having some test with a camera that takes 9,000 pix and costs $2500 to determine the cause of her discomfort. I am on pins and needles.....yes, I want an analog and a ton of vodka but I am restraining myself. It does me no good to get sick when my children need me. I have had cancer twice myself and beaten it. I have been cancer free now for 40 years and I don't intend on getting it again. Cigarettes are the Devil as far as I am concerned. They make us aware of our weakness, liquor also. We escape from our problems.

I was on Chantix for awhile. It sucked. But the support lady kept calling me and telling me I would not die if I didn't have a cigarette. She was right. But I still craved them. Life is unfair sometimes and stress and everyday life fills us with anxiety and weakness. You have now beaten that weakness...........keep up the good work, my friend.....you will be reward with a long, happy life.

Would you believe my son is in the health care business........and my two daughters have problems? lol.......such is life, I guess.

I will get thru this all because of my faith in God........not by an analog....Pray and He will give you strength. My life has been filled with obstacles....Cancer, heart troubles, etc. but the strength is from the Lord. I was put up for dead, but I am still kicking....My children and grandsons need me........and my husband would be lost without me.......and the Lord knows this and takes care of me.

And now, really, I am going to bed..lol!

I don't know, sometimes things aren't working so well....I have a Janty Stick so don't know if it's the atty, the battery, the unit, or my juice, but some days it's just not right...but if you need another old cigarette I have a few that are almost a year old, I'll send you one!!! I had to keep throwing some out to make room for more batteries and juice in my purse case. Yeah, threw away perfectly good cigarettes!!
The first day on the e-cig I had my last one, I didn't think I'd ever get rid of that smell out of my head. It tasted sooo dirty! And after three hours of hell on an e-cig I couldn't make work right, and used up all my carts! Go figure.
sandyk, you hang in there.

Even after e cig for one week ..I smoked a regular cig and it was gross! Also, everyone that smokes real ones can be smelled from a yard away!! I can't believe I smelled like that!!! I had been smoking for 15 years too!

you are 100% right, remember when we thought a menthol gum could erase that smell:D

Welcome to our world, you seems to be new around here. how are you?

I've been on a 5 am schedule past few months. The stress lately is really getting to me. I'm a disabled paramedic/firefighter, thank god after a few surgeries I'm now able to walk, but the Darn government keeps screwing around with my disability checks one thing after another, but none the less the stress factor and our nic go hand in hand I'm just thankful that I found ecigs when I did. I was chain smoking at night alone 1.5 to 2 packs till 5am. But yes try to find your balance and again hang in there! all of you fine people please hang in there!

I think something is stressing me, I went to bed early last night and I could'nt sleep before 4 am I even vape several times in bed, today I am going to vape 24 mg the whole day with my new 901 atty

I've come to realize over the past couple of weeks that e-cigs alone aren't doing it for me. I was talking about this very thing in a thread a couple of days ago, and it seems I'm not alone. I have really been toughing it out since I stopped smoking and starting vaping on New Year's Eve - it's been a very hard road for me. I've upped my nic levels to the max amount, I've purchased and been using HV PV's, and I still have that incurable desire for something else ( of course a real smoke ). During that thread, I had not one, but two good folks here, suggest reading a little in the smokeless section. I did and the more I read the more I realized there are a boatload of folks just like me. I had bought a tin of the Camel Snus a while back, tried it - thought it tasted like a candy mint, but did nothing for the nic craving - I mean nothing at all and immediately wrote it off as something that wouldn't do me any good. However, in the smokeless section, I was told that the Camel and Marlboro brand snus that's being marketed here is more or less a joke as far as satisfying the nicotine urges. The Swedish snus is in an entirely different league and can't be compared to the two offered here. I read more - went to several Swedish snus sites and there are stories one after another saying the same thing. Long story short, I placed an order for the Swedish snus and hopefully it will be here today or tomorrow at the latest. I'm really hoping it helps. I honestly think it's gonna be the thing to supplement vaping that will help me forget about cigarettes all together. I have no plans of stopping vaping. I'm only looking for some additional help kicking the habit. If you haven't read or checked into it, it might be worth your time -- the section is here on ECF ( smokeless ).
By the way, I have never dipped, chewed, or anything else other than smoke, so this is entirely new to me as well.

Hang in there - it's gotta get better and tomorrow is a brand new day !
