Its a good thing that there is no way I am going to the store before I have a shower and by then the craving is gone, thank goodness.
I really appreciate all of the input. I have learned so much from everyone here.
It is always good to know you are not alone. Regardless of bumps in the road, I am so proud of myself for coming this far! I have resisted the urges for 45 days and will continue to forge on! There's no turning back now!

You're doing GREAT!! You can do it and, when you're feeling a bit 'low', we're ALWAYS here! (Well, not ALL of us ALL the time, we DO have lives y'know..but, well, ECF is just FUN I say!) 
ANd if we aren't QUITE enough - go visit the folks in the smokeless tobacco forums Smokeless tobacco - E-Cigarette Forum who have tips and advice about helping people for whom vaping really isn't enough (and theres a lot of you out there, its the 'other' additives in cigs you got addicted to more than the nicotine, and you can't get those from ejuice).
Good luck Lulu!

Sometimes I find that I really want a cigarette. The hardest times for me are first thing in the morning and right before bed. I'm also finding that there are times that I just prefer smoking if I'm in the company of smokers. I guess maybe I need to stay away from those people....they're corrupting me!!
When I first wake up I take some vapes of 48mg to start my day right off the batt, it seems to make the cig craving go away faster i have experimented with this a great deal and have my favorite vapes cut into 3 different MG's Morning, Afternoon, and evening, this has proven to work for me and if I get a craving later in the day I hit the morning vape for a couple pulls then back to the lower, I have also found that hitting the evening Vape after 5pm has let me fall asleep faster and easier and lowering the MG after 5pm lets me sleep deeper and better too, I also know if I have to stay up late or im going somewhere and it's gonna be a late night to take the higher MG and hit it later then switch to the lower MG later that night, it deffinately works for me
That happened to my boyfriend this weekend. We were at my friend's house (both her and her husband smoke) and Eric was tempted to have an analog. He had one, and it tasted like poo.
He happily went back to vaping. I didn't have the urge to have one because I think it smells horrid now.
I think part of the problem is that the analogues still taste good to me. But if I do have an analogue, I'll still immediately start vaping. It's weird. Sometimes it seems like I'm not vaping to get the nicotine so much as I just like the action and feel of smoking.
I'm hoping the cravings go away. I love smoking, but for the past couple years, I've had more an more issues with a chronic cough, etc, and hadn't been able to quit. I quit completely on Monday - did have one analogue which taste like .... - and haven't had one since.
I do have pretty constant cravings, though. I think the 24mg was making me sick because I was almost constantly vaping, so I'm down to the 11mg, which may have been a bit of a jump. I never quite feel satisfied, no matter how much I vape, which is almost continuously.
When I smoked that analogue Monday it tasted like .... and I didn't really like it. I did, however, feel the immediate nicotine course into my brain.
I've looked at a lot of research on PubMed and with all the stuff I've seen, because of the way the nicotine is vaporize into the lungs without combustion, it is simply not delivered as well. Rather than get spikes and trough in the nicotine in your body, you're basically getting a more constant level. That's one of the problems.
The other is that any habit that you've done for a long while will always seem appealing. I'm fighting the same urges. A good thing to remember, at least for me is threefold:
1) Cravings only last about 3 minutes at a time. Vape away.
2) This is much more fun than quitting and taking deep breaths. At least you can vape.
3) You're slowly ridding your body of all the tons of harmful chemicals and C02 in the burning tobacco, and getting back the cilia in your lungs, tastebuds, not aging your skin, not yellowing your teeth, not contributing to Alzheimer's.
And finally, there's some interesting research on the neuroprotective effects of nicotine in low to moderate dosages.
Woo, I was jabbering on, urges strong right now. I'm a nurse practitioner and specialize in memory related disorders.

I'm pretty new to eCigs. Will be 2 full weeks tomorrow since I've smoked an Analog and also the same day I received my eGo. At first I had 18mg Juice and throughout the day I'd have some cravings for an Analog, but just kept vaping. The next day I got some 26mg Juice in the mail and after vaping it my cravings began to cease much quicker. Now the only times I really think of Analogs are during the times that were most habitual for me to reach and grab for one, grab a lighter; after meals, while driving, etc...
I think the 26mg juice is what really made it easier, its what I think I needed to replaces the pack/day of American Spirits I'd been smoking for years.

I cant link because I do not have 15 posts..
Just google stonewall dissolve and click the top link.
Get a box of the stonewall java
I have not smoked in 11 days. 27 year, 2 pack a day smoker
I used grizzly snuff until the other day, and wanted to smoke the entire time.
I got my 510 two days ago, and my stonewalls. I do not even want a cig. I threw the grizzly out the window.
Pop in a stonewall if you start getting the urge and vape on.
Coffee and my 510, with some stonewalls in a altoid box..
Smokes are weak sauce. Hell, I am about wired on the nicotine now lol. I don't want anything.
I even survived the crown and coke test last night. I went to the bar and drank, stonewall in the corner of my mouth.
I even sat out in the "smoking area". No problem.

My cigarette cravings stopped when I got my 18 and 24mg juice. I was a pack-a-day smoker of marlboro reds. Now, if I feel like I need a "smoke", I just puff away on my pv.
I haven't had any issues with others smoking around me. If anything, maybe the smell is off putting, but I don't feel the urge to have a cigarette. Again, I just break out the pv and vape away.
