Day One

[Trance]

So, today is going to be my first completely analog free day(as yesterday when I got my package I smoked my last three cigarettes) and I must say I feel pretty great. I bought the 24mg juice this go round, last time I had purchased the 18mg, and I would still crave a cigarette pretty bad at times.

But today..no cravings at all. Slight headache, but I usually always have one of those, and it would be much worse after a few cigarettes as opposed to now. Been vaping pretty much non stop though, haha. Wondering how many people usually do that, or do you try and space it out like with cigarettes.

Anyways, just wanted to say I know its only day one, but I like this very much and am excited to have even gone one day without a smoke..first time in 9 years.

Way to go, all journeys, first step and all that! I have been off analogs for just about a year now and I pretty much vape all day. I think it's more because I can then I need to but my PV is never far from me. I say what ever keeps you off the cigs is what you should do. If you find your head hurts often, get some low nic or no nic to vape in between. Good Luck!

It is still a pacifier for me too after more then a year.

its been almost 3 weeks for me I had an old crown7 penstyle about a year ago and like a nube when the atty died i went back to analogs. Found this site did a lot of research decided on a janty v3 and havent looked back zero analogs in three weeks and going strong. Good luck on your journey

It's about 17 days for me. The desire for an analog is totally gone since I started vaping 100% PG (throat hit is important to me).

I had one analog a few days go (two puffs) and couldn't handle it. It was a test.

I've learned there are other possibly addictive substance(s) in cigarettes... so you may find yourself adjusting a bit as you withdraw from those. I had a little headache at first too. But a little Advil fixed me up fine.

 

[Trance]

Haha yeah thats pretty much what I figured. Being able to do it in the house now makes me wanna do it all the time. And the liquid I got tastes so goooood haha.

I had a menthol from Cignot that did that to me... non stop vaping. I have eventually decided on non flavored juice for most daily vaping needs... if it tastes too good... I chain vape. so I moderate.

But at the beginning... vape all you want. If your goal is to not smoke... have a party..

Yeah I took some excedrin today and that seemed to help, that's what I kindof figured it was after reading here for a while that my body might feel a little weird for a while because of the other addictive substances leaving my system..so I'm prepared for it. Yeah the liquid I got is PG...Being able to feel it in my throat is kinda a big deal..because if I don't it feels like I'm not doing anything. I'm sure it's purely psychological, but it makes me want a cig if I dont feel it the throat, because aside from the nicotine, I smoked as opposed to any other tobacco product because of that feeling..it was an "oral fixation" if you will haha

 

[WindSpirit]

WTG and good luck to you Trance. Going on about 10 days here.... Son is amazed so I bought him one for his birthday. I had 6 cigarettes in a pack when I started vaping. Still 3 of them left. Regular cigarettes taste so awful now (and smell bad too.) I did get the headaches.... imagine, never thought of taking aspirin. Now they tell me, lol.

Congratulations on your journey. Welcome to ECF.. There are many people to guide you if you have a need.

Pacifier for me as well ,
I have been analog free for about 4 months with no desire to have one. I vap all day long, (when possible) I am getting my favorite flavors dialed in and love it. I was a POD+ smoker for over 15 years.

I own a Blu, 902, sideshow and pass through from Modern Vapor (Love them all) an Ego and just got my new mega batteries for my EGO. Love them all they all have their time and place.

I love what this has done for my life.

Welcome to the club. For me... my headaches didn't go away until I started snusing. (Only Swedish snus. Fortunately I have a local retailer for General.) I vape less now too. I was constantly vaping.

Really!

I've only been at this for a couple of weeks, and haven't found anything goooood so far. Still trying things out. What liquids are you using?

Wow. For me, my first day vaping without analogs in the house would surely mean a trip to the store at some point. I wouldn't have even tried that, because occasionally smoking an analog is a transition whereas going to buy some would seem like more of a setback (failure).

As cozzicon suggested, if you're addicted to cigarettes, you're not just addicted to nicotine. E-cigs provide the nicotine, the "smoke," and the tactile experience of a drag on a stick in your hand, but aren't the same as smoking cigarettes. If you vape and still smoke a few analogs, don't worry about it. If your goal is to vape more than you smoke, that will surely happen! If your goal is to never smoke another analog, you may be disappointed in yourself when you buy a pack. Don't be hard on yourself if that happens. From what I've read on this forum, it can take months for some people to prefer e-cigs so much as to completely drop analogs. I intend to approach it that way, but cold-turkey may work well for you.

You seem to be be pretty committed to e-cigs so far. Besides the juice that you're using, let us know about the rest of your kit. And as always, Good Luck!

So far, I've bought everything from valleyvapor.com. They've been a really fast and reliable supplier for me. The liquid I've been using is the cappuccino flavored 24mg. I ordered another bottle of that last night, and this flavor called Ry4. Also another spare battery and atty. The kit I bought was a joye510 with a PCC.

Before when I had a Blu, I'd still smoke analogs..like half a pack a day. But so far today..I've not wanted one..I'm pretty dead set on quitting though..aside from the health risks I simply cannot afford it anymore

 

[piratecaptainbob]

from some of the things i read on here and became true for myself is to try and find an all day flavor (usually a tobacco flavor for most at the beginning) and your brain will associate that flavor with a nicotine fix so as to help your pv take the place of your smokes.

 

[warbdan]

When I started in Dec of last year my joye 510 was my pacifier. lolololol

Hang in there!

I breathe through my e-cig!

 

[WindSpirit]

I am now just trying out different flavors for fun, but the one that I enjoy the most is the Marlboro flavor. I still get that satisfaction I got from smoking my Analogs. I have heard from others that if you wish to quit go with the tobacco flavors. So far it has worked for me.
