Did you throw out all of your analogs when you started vaping?

    Im in a wierd....situation.

    So ive been vaping for about a week and some change now, but i still have a carton of analogs laying around my house. The wierd thing is since im always near my vape i dont really ever feel the need to reach out and light up a real one.

    Whats bothering me is the fact that they are there and I dont want them to go to waste...because they are worth $$$$. Im chinese and really hate wasting stuff that i paid money for. Dont know if its in my blood but i just hate to see them go to waste.

    what should i do lol??

    Freeze them for awhile ... then when you are sure you're done give them to a smoker?
    I smoked mine:facepalm:

    I've had an open pack and a lighter on the dash of my car for 2 1/2 months. Tried one a couple of weeks ago just because I could. I took about 2 drags and tossed it. I have no intention of throwing that pack away-it's a psychological thing. Ever notice how it was easier to not have a cigarette when you have a full pack, but have fits when you smoked your last one and had to go NOW to the store and get more?
    I did give away the rest of the carton that I bought the same day I bought my first cig-a-like...no sense in them going to waste.

    No way not to coworkers/family not going to encourage their smoking. Why I agreed with the thought of giving to the homeless was that maybe they'd buy some food instead of smokes.

    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 half a pack when i started vaping. Decided to buy a PV instead of a carton of analogs. I carried the pack for a week, then I put a date on the box and put it in my truck. I figure in a year or so i'll throw the pack away.

    I am one of those people who cant be without cigarettes, as long as I have them in the truck I know I am OK.

    I would personally just sell all but 1 pack to someone, tell them 4 bucks a pack and you'll sell them in about 12 seconds.

    When I started vaping, my smoking dropped to less than half overnight, but it took me several months to get off the cigs. Eventually, I moved to a higher level of nicotine, and when I did that, quitting the cigs was easy.

    I had 6 or 7 packs of cigs left from my last carton. After a few weeks, I started giving those away to friends. I kept one pack for several months, but I eventually gave it away, too.

    I've saved a ton of money by switching from smoking to vaping. I'm not going to worry about a few packs of cigs that I could have smoked. I probably could have sold them off, cheap, to recover some of my money. I just wanted to be rid of them and not have them go to waste, so I gave them to friends.

    I started vaping last September, and had about half a carton of cigs in the freezer. It took me a couple of weeks to transition off cigarettes entirely, and I never told myself "No, you can't have a cigarette" if I really wanted one. I just slowly started to think they were gross tasting. So, I still have one cigarette in my desk drawer next to me, two packs in the freezer, and a pack minus one of fancy European cigarettes that I bought in Greece last month on vacation. Everyone was smoking there, and I though I might enjoy it. It only took me one to figure out that I'm just done with cigarettes.

    This is the second time i started vaping. The first time was a major hassle with the carts and crappy batts so falling back into the stinkies was easy. i refused to fail this time and chucked the 2 packs i had left on day one. On a trip up into the mountains on about day 4 or 5 of vaping again, all my cartos flooded and i panicked, bought a pack up there, smoked half of one, was disgusted and chucked it and sucked it up till i got home. That was almost a year ago and will never EVER pick up an analog ever again!!

    As some others have mentioned, maybe try and give them to someone who smokes, otherwise toss them in the trash. When I got my first equip I had a few full packs left and they went right in the trash bin because I was determined never to touch them again.

    If I find myself waiting on a battery to charge, the temptation won't be there for me to say "I'll just have this one while I wait" and light up.
