Do you miss analogues?

[Nightshard]

Analogs is like playing wow.
You know it's stupid, you're happy that you quit, you know it's bad for you, but you somethimes think of it.
Keep strong.

I haven't played wow in years but this is the truth.

Had one yesterday...didn't finish it. I miss the act of pulling one out and lighting it, which is wierd, but that's all I miss.

I don't miss them at all I can't stand the smell of them anymore.

I still have a pack and a half in the freezer, 'just in case' (e-cigs are confiscated, zombie apocolypse, etc.), but I've been lucky not to have had a genuine craving for a cigarette since the day I started vaping. In my first week I took a few analog puffs to see if I was missing anything, but it was just foul. I couldn't believe I'd been doing that all day every day without hesitation for thirty years. As I've said before, I find how easy it has been to do with vaping to be almost embarrassing. Which makes me feel very lucky. My deepest sympathies and best wishes to anyone not having the same experience.

I've been smoke free 7 months and I don't miss them at all.... now. However, for about two weeks after I completely gave up analogs for vaping, I would look at my last pack of cigarettes with longing.....sniffed them too (smoked menthol). Also, I missed the camaraderie with other smokers when they would go outdoors to smoke at gatherings I attended. But that has changed and I don't even think about cigarettes now. I don't like when I smell the stench of smoke on another person. I think to myself that I'm glad I don't stink like that anymore.

Not at all. I wish I could remember exactly when my craving for analogs went away. Somewhere between 1 year and 17 months Even at 6 months to a year the cravings were really rare. The first 6 weeks are the hardest.

Theyre just nonexistent now.

ive been vaping now for a month. havnt had a single analouge since i started. had one day where i really wanted one. but i didnt. that was about a week ago. not had a craving since.

 

[Kor 214I]

Absolutely NOT!!!!!

I hadn't smoked a cig in over 4 years. Until a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to taste it for the flavor. For replicating cig flavors. But the feeling was terrible. I actually felt depressed for a couple of seconds. I could feel the toxins going through my body. I never realized how clean vaping is until that little experiment.

After about two weeks, my cravings went down. After two months, I had no cravings at all (except when drinking) Now I'm seven months in, and I crave vaping. So as of now I don't miss it at all. Analogs are disgusting to me now. I cant believe I smelled like that for 19 years.

Not at all which is surprising as I was a smoker that aggressively enjoyed my smoking habit. Granted, it has barely been two weeks, but I couldn't make it a few hours without smoking before.

Vaping has replaced that 100%. I just can't wait for my sense of smell and taste to fully return so I can enjoy it even more.

I smoked for 23 years. Quit on New Year's Day 2014. I've had less than 10 legit cravings, most occurred the first few weeks. I've been out and about with friends who still smoke, driven in a car with a smoker who was smoking.

Don't miss em at all.

I was the same way. Glad it's working for you my friend.

 

[Taowulf]

It was about 17-18 years for me...glad I never hit the 20 year mark. That is one anniversary I will happily avoid.

I was in same boat for years now. TRY WTA liquid it helped me the most. I vape wholecig's 25mg unflavored straight and it keeps me off analogs for long periods during the day.
Good Luck

When I first quit analogs (almost 4 weeks now), I didn't really miss them at all. I was surprised earlier this week when the craving hit me once first thing in the morning, and then again after dinner. It was kind of weird cuz they came out of no where. However the cravings were fleeting and I just carried on with vaping......

 

[Pranayam]

Chantix, patches, pestles, inhaler, mist all got me off and I started vaping after that, cause it seemed I'll light up again. After two years of my penultimate(so far) cig, I lit up one 2 weeks ago, and it tasted so horrible and I got such a buzz ( in a bad way) that I threw it away after 3 puffs. Felt disgusting and abhorrent. I don't want to light up anymore, but I know even if I do, I'll not like it. I enjoy vaping NETs though....

Let me just say that when I quit, I was terrified to quit. TERRIFIED. Mostly of the cravings. It seems so dumb now. I was a secret smoker who had perfected the art of hiding it from her husband. You know how smoke smell sticks to you, well I had figured out exactly how to smoke without him ever knowing I was doing it. (By the way, the man has NO poker face, nor is he capable of hiding anything, so if he had suspected, he would have never just let it go. Especially after I had come clean with him about my dishonesty so many times in the past, and he was blown away and hurt by my lies.)

Anyway, I knew I had to quit analogs because I was starting to hate the person I was becoming. I was wasting so much time smoking every day. Chain smoking is more like it. He and I had both quit with ecigs before (the throw-away kind), so I knew I could do it. I just had to be "brave" enough. I threw away more than half a pack, and went to the Blu disposable menthol. I had about 24 hours of difficulty, and I just told myself, "I am just not going to smoke today. Just today." It worked. The next day, same thing. "I just won't smoke today." The cravings were minimal on day 2, and by day 3, they were gone. I decided to get myself a better ecig, and I got an eGo T. I love it. Now, it's been seven days since I've had an analog, and I couldn't be happier. Not one craving for an analog, ever.

Best decision I ever made.

Hell no, not even close. I'm still on high nic juice though so that could be helping it. I like the way the nicotine intake is much more stable than with ciggs. You light a cigg and for the next 10-15 minutes your taking in large amounts of nicotine. With vaping I'm taking 3-5 hits maybe every 15-30 minutes because you dont have to finish it or feel like your wasting it by putting it out half way. So with this steady type of nicotine intake I find that the few and rare cravings are much more mild than say a cigg "wake up in the middle of the night, or morning intense craving". IMO the most important thing for a smoker to try would be to keep an open mind about flavor, dont expect the "menthol" to taste like your Newport or the "reds" juice to taste like the Marlboro's youve been smoking for decades because they wont. And second and most important is get high nic juice 18mg 12 mg if u smoke lights or less than 10-15 ciggs daily. Because if your juice isnt satisfying your nic cravings it wont matter how great it tastes, u will not stay off them.
