I have been off analogs since day two of having my e-cig, three weeks now
Been tobacco free for almost 11 months. I noticed the not coughing first thing in the morning, about 2 to 3 weeks in. Coughing up the residual garbage didn't start, for me, for about 6 months. A coworker of mine found the stages the lungs go through to repair themselves after someone quits smoking. I'm not sure where, but it's on the internet somewhere. It can vary from person to person, but there is an average out there. Sorry I can't tell you all where to find it.
From what I've read, the cilia start repairing/regenerating as soon as you stop smoking. For some people it can be fast, or slow. It may well take several months before you start sloughing off the old lining. It's been suggested that it takes 7 years for the cells in your lungs to completely replace themselves enough times to erase all indications of cigarette smoking.
I agree with you on those other help quit smoking thingies, they just don't work. I went to the e-cig at the end of Dec 09, at first I did lite up and the taste was just not what it was, since they put the fire ......ant in them, smoked half of it and tossed it in the .... bucket I have on my patio. I still do the routine I did with analogs, coffee in the morning sitting out in front on the patio, cold as heck here in Fl., sit at the putor, now and vape, every once in awhile go sit out in front, try to stay with the routine I had with analogs, and it's working fine, I didn't smoke in the house, so it does feel diff. with the PV. So I guess I have been smoke free for a good month and a half, gee times flys, when your vaping.Hi everyone!
I bought my first PV last summer - an NJoy. For the first 5 days I didn't smoke anything but that, which shocked me, because I wasn't trying to quit smoking (I had been a pack a day smoker for about 23 years). Then I think something happened to the e-cig, only I didn't know enough to realize it was an equipment malfunction. So I went back to smoking analogs which I waited for my 510 to arrive. I never really used the 510 for some reason.....until Jan. 5, when I did decide to quit smoking.
It's been almost a month, and I haven't had an analog since I quit, but it has been a conscious decision for me. I am still craving them periodically, and I'm not sure why, but I just vape through the craving. It is still like a miracle to me that the craving is like a very very mild irritant, and it doesn't last very long at all.
I know I can stay quit from analogs with vaping. I never had that feeling when I tried the patch, the gum, Chantix, etc.
i also had the sick feeling the 2nd day when trying an analog. vaping ever since!I am new to ecf and to vaping. Actually this is my first post. I recieved my starter kit from V4L 23 days ago. It has been 21 since I had an analog. I believe it would have been 23 days with no analogs had I figured this out sooner.... the craving for a cigg never goes away! I fell in love with my pv right away but still craved analog (so I thought) about 20 minutes later. So I vaped some more. 20 minutes later guess what? Craving a cigg again! After a while I finally gave in and had an analog. 1 on the first day and same on second. That last 1 tasted horrible!! I realized I would have preferred to vape. I have not had 1 since....
The point I'm trying to make is that I confused a nicc craving with an analog craving. All my body really wanted was some nicc. I upped my mg to 24 and I am loving life. With no analogs I still get to enjoy my fix but my appetite is back, I have more energy, and I'm sleeping better. And oh yeah.....my kids are SUPER proud of me! After 16 years I'm finally done with analogs.
I know everyone's addiction is different but just thought I'd warn you not to make the same mistake I did. Good luck on your vaping and don't give up!!!!
Hello,
My wife and I have not bought a analog for 3 days now. We bought our 510 kits with that purpose. We will be analog free from this point on. I will say this we bought the kits, juice, and atty's, extra batteries, all at one time so we would not be forced to smoke a analog.
