I held on to my last half of a pack for a long time. I finally decided that I would save it till my one year anniversary, smoke one, and then throw it away. Then my one year anniversary arrived and I decided it would be really gross to smoke a year old cigarette, so I tossed them out. A carton, I'd probably find someone to give it to I guess.

I've got a lighter and a half-smoked pack in the desk drawer next to me, a carton with 9 packs left in the refrigerator and four full cartons in the cabinet (I had just restocked on smokes when I started vaping). In the beginning I kept them as a "safety net", but haven't touched one since I started vaping and don't intend to. I'll eventually get rid of them one way or the other.
Hadn't thought of doing that. Thanks, have a pack I've been wanting to get rid of but throwing it away seemed like such a waste. Tried one after a few weeks of vaping and almost vomited, nope no more analogs for me. 
I had a full pack when I started. I ended up smoking it because I wasn't aware of how much liquid I would be using. I hated smoking it as i waited for juices to come in, but I also hated not smoking.....
That's a lot of cigs you have left...Maybe you can sell them to coworkers or family?

I had 3 packs left over when I started vaping 55 days ago, that I sold and bought some e-juice with the money.
I only had a few left when I got my first kit. I smoked one a day until they were gone. But then? I didn't need 'em AND, I told my best friend all about my new e-cigs.....and guess what? My report was all she needed. Now she has more e-cig stuff than I do. As a matter of fact her hubby (a wood turner by trade), now makes the coolest wood and acrylic tips, EVER!!! It's had a snow ball effect from there. My daughter smoked and now she is a vaper as well........woooooooohooooooooo.

Had 6 cartons and after much "inner debate" I gave them to a Homeless Shelter I volunteer at...figured they've got much bigger issues than quitting smoking.

That's so great! I love reading how much impact sharing knowledge about vaping and encouraging others to switch really is.
I had a half-pack when I bought my first vape. I smoked my last cigarette before bed and started vaping exclusively in morning. I knew I either had to smoke them or throw them away to avoid future temptation.
I smoked my last cigarette on June 28th. I was rolling my own for years and I still have about half a bag of tobacco and half a box of tubes. I don't feel any particular need to get rid of them. If I ever really, really want a cigarette, I'll have one and won't hate myself for it. But I just haven't really wanted one since I started vaping.
I numbed 4 cigarettes from my friend while I was waiting for my batteries to charge when I got my zmax. After that I didn't touch a single cig!
Went to a local Vape shop out of curiosity just to check out what all the buzz was about this thing called an e cig, smoked my last cigarette in the pack in the parking lot before going in ( with the intention of getting another pack at the gas station across the street when done), walked out with a kit and juice...have not looked back.
A few days later, my wife kept trying mine and decided she would join me in my new lifestyle, got her set up, same thing, she was able to go without an analog, although she still had almost a full pack leftover. She kept them on the patio table, taunting her for almost a week, only to give in and throw them out.

I have to throw out my last (very stale) pack of analogs, need the space in that kitchen cupboard for more juices ...
I bought a pack the day before knowing that my first kit was going to show up the next day (wanted to say goodbye to my old friends). I had one or two left by the time it arrived in my mailbox and I did end up smoking them that day, but I didn't really feel that "omg I have no cigarettes" panic when they were gone.
Since then, I have accumulated a pack or two as I seem to have trained all of the stores around here too well and there's a pack already rung up when I get to the counter. One of those is still in the freezer but I will admit to still combusting a couple a day (I like a real smoke outside on the balcony when I get up in the morning and another when I go to bed). Since I've never smoked indoors at home and can't remember the last time I smoked indoors in a public place (thank you Ontario smoking laws I guess) I still have that lingering desire to go outside. I guess I should just really force myself to go outside and vape until I get over it (plus, I never see the neighbours any more)

I smoked my last cigarette in the pack and went to the store to buy more. That's when I noticed those disposable electronic cigarettes and gave one a try. After that I got a kit and the rest was history
Been nerding it up in vapeland ever since

Great stories. I have a full pack and ashtray and such in the garage since my join date. I'll get to them.
Seems it's only a few weeks until they taste horrid.
Were they really that horrid when we started??

I did not throw out my analogs when I first started vaping...my girlfriend did it for me before I woke up and left a Joye 510 and a small bottle of juice on my desk with a cute note saying "Please give this a try for me, just for a day." I did and bought us both nicer new Ego kits the next day. I've not touched an analog in just over a month now.
I wouldn't keep them. It's like being overweight and going on a cleansing diet, but still keeping the freezer full of chocolate chip ice cream lol. Give them away to the needy or smoking friends. You don't need them anymore.
I also love BlueMoods' idea of recycling them creatively.

Smoked my last one when I got off my flight from Florida the day after I picked up my eGo kit. I kept the pack as a souvenir/reminder.
