Unfortunately all the time. Although I love vaping I can't say that I still don't crave/want to smoke a cigarette. It's a love hate kinda thing. Been smoke free for about 2 months, so I might still be experiencing withdrawals in a sense. I don't have cravings but I still have want to I guess. I didn't quit for health reasons our because I had to.. But simply because I was sick of the nasty smell, and the thoughts of all the harm it was doing to my body. I know I won't go back, but it's not easy. But much much much easier then week 1&2.
Do you miss analogues?

Not in the least. Flicked my last .... in the parking lot of the vape store and ain't looked back sence.
Happily vaping!!

I really don't miss them at all anymore. The first few months I had a hard time now and then. Now all I ever need is my dripper and a good tobbacco flavor, Boba's Bounty or Gorilla Juice. Just last weekend I was in the car with two smokers. They offered me one, easiest thing in the world to say no thanks. And vape on.
Same here. I smoked 3 packs a day. Makes me wonder now if I ever even inhaled the damn things. Maybe I was smoking them wrong?I haven't had an urge for an analog since the day I picked up a cigalike! And this after 40 years of smoking - I'm still amazed
Only been off the analogs a week. Took me almost 2 months of vaping to get here. Wife is still at half a pack a day and when she goes out to smoke I REALLY!! want one. But when she comes in and I can smell the stinky, the urge goes away. Stress is a factor for me. Once I make it through those times I seem to be fine. My official quit date will be 04/01/14...if I make it that far! (I know I will cause I think I can I think I can I think I can...)
The hardest is when I'm at the bar I really miss the head rush of a cig. However, when I'm at home/dorm and I get the craving for the head rush, I throw my Atomic RDA on my ProVari with 24mg nicotine juice and run it at 12-15 watts. 3 to 5 good rips of that and I'm stuck in my spot for 5-15 minutes.
That is a craving killer!

Unusually, I haven't picked up an analog since I got my Ego C kit in the mail. I got it in and got distracted with the new toy...directions...assembly...first hits....ahhh...when the heck is the last time I had a ciggie?????? It went on from there. Carried a half a pack and a lighter for 6 months, before I was able to feel confident enough to put them on my bureau. I sometimes go on the smoke bench at work to bs with my coworkers...and more times than not...I have to leave early. The stench is too much for me and the thought that I smelled just like that. A warm wet woolen coat that had been soaked in ashtray juice.....turns my stomach. Now for the answer to the question. There is the nic addiction and all the other chemicals.....there is also the MIND ...I call it the mind f..k. It will be the little voice in your head that's constant.....it will taste so good.......nobody will know.......just one time.....etc.......they are ALL lies..it wants you to believe them. Taste good(honestly...no).....nobody will know (I will) .....just one time(how many times have we fallen for that one). If you are honest with yourself and answer the voice with honesty......you will be able to break this habit.
Once you are off cigs completely, you'll be surprised at how little you miss them. I'm a year past quitting and the only think I miss is the size & convenience. Outside of that, vaping beats it hands down with a cornucopia of flavors, devices, and not stinking up you and your clothes, not congesting your chest and not draining your wallet.
I don't miss regular cigs... But, I do miss the occasional djarum blacks. There is supposedly a good ejuice by Aroma (that supposedly tastes just like a black), but they only make it in a pg, apparently. If they ever make it in a 50/50 or a 100% vg, I'll be all over it.. Until then, missing them.
Even the smell of regular smokes is a bit repugnant to me now, and it kind of pisses me off that my works forces vapers to use the smoking area.

I dont miss the nic because im doing 24mg
But i do miss the actions that happens when you smoke ciggies
Especially the hand to mouth actions or carrying a ciggie in my mouth
At 4 packs a day I usually had one in my hand or mouth
Ive been at this almost a month now with luck Ill get past the hand action

My cravings or wants for cigarettes diminished to zero within the first 6 months of vaping, thank God! I really do not want one. It does not bother me to have smokers around me and like many of you I hate the way it smells, better yet, how that smell clings on a person, ugh.
I can't quit analogs. I'm really trying to like ordinary e-liquid but imagine being OD'ed on nicotine and still craving a cigarette. That's a peculiar kind of hell indeed. I've tried WTA, not a lot but a little, and I Think it might work better, but its so expensive I am just disgusted with vaping in general. So, I'm still puffing away, not sure what to do.
What's WTA? I really am craving, mostly when I'm at work though

WTA = Whole Tobacco Alkaloids
Do I miss analogs? Absolutely not. I can't stand even the smell of them anymore. But if I ever do think I might want to experience them again, I can always scoop a little something out of my cats' litter box, wipe it under my nose and walk around that way for ten minutes or so.

Not at all. The smell makes me ill and the taste makes me feel even worse.
I'll cough a lung up if I even attempt to smoke one.
I prefer vaping, by far.

I'm finally to the point where I almost don't miss them at all. It's been a tough road but I'm stoked that the smell of analogs is starting to smell gross to me.

I used to smoke Djarum Blacks around December, they smelled really festive at that time of the year to me and I thoroughly enjoyed them for about a month. Tried replacing my normal smoking habits(a pack to a pack and a half a day) with just Djarum Blacks and my throat was screaming for me to stop that fiasco after a month.
The ONLY thing I miss about analogues is holding them in my lips, the smell and taste do nothing for me since I switched over to vaping.
