Actually ended up smoking a cigarette Monday night at a bar. Eh was "feeling it" a bit too much..lol That said I have no wanting to go out and buy a pack. It happens I guess
Take your time. It's really no big deal if you can't stop over night. I vapped for about a month and a half before I quit. Some here
can stop the first day others can't. Think of it this way, You went from 40 a day to 5. That in itself is a fantastic start.
After 30 plus years of smoking I must admit I am still a smoker. Once in awhile a cigg just sounds good. Started vaoing about 3 months ago and have probably smoked 10 ciggs since then. I have 1/2 a pound of tobacco sitting there, just cant throw it away till it is so stale it would be disgusting.LOL. Try putting your ciggs somwhere inconvinient to get to like the garage or a room you would not normaly smoke in. For me since I did ryo just not having them made was enough to make vaping the easy fix for my nic needs. Then you will know your old friend the cigg is there if you need it but you probably wont.
Intox, I smoked a PAD for 37 years. Stopped in a couple of weeks after starting to vape in March 2012. I had to be vigilant for maybe about six months, with pangs declining pretty much steadily the whole time. I used to love to smoke, but it was killing me. I still like the smell of cigarettes and enjoy hanging with the smokers (nice bunch of people btw 
). I'm in the minority around here on this one.
I haven't had a real pang for a smoke since about November last year. I've been caught out with no vape a few times this year and been in cars with smokers smoking and have not had a problem. Time is key I think. All of us are different too and no-one has the same story. Take your time and be good to yourself.
You went from two packs a day down to 5 cigarettes a day in three weeks. That's HUGE! You're on the right track, hang in and give it time

after vaping for around a near with out a cigarette. i was really ...... off because of some poor customer service. i went outside and my buddy offered my a cigarette it was Camel menthol light (what i smoked for 8 years) i took about 2 drags off it before i became sick tossed it and went to sit in the car for awhile. it was the WORST thing i have ever tasted and i have had every automotive fluid in my eyes nose and mouth. i will never smoke a real cig again. NO JOKE. i do smoke a cigar once in a great while. i might smoke like 2 or 3 per year. however i am super picky about the cigars i smoke most just taste really bad.
Intox your not alone. I'm in the same boat, was 2 packs a day only been vaping for about two weeks and down to 5-10 a day. Hope to drop one or two each week till I'm at zero. Have noticed that the taste of the cigs is just not as good as vaping, get half way through one and want to vape - good sign. Will HIGHLY recommend Johnson Creek Red Oak Tennessee Cured - was the first I tried and after numerous others, it's still the best. For a little sweeter change I'll mix in some Mr.Good Vape Karma Cream, these two are my all day vapes.
The tone of your post is all to familiar to my ears. I too was a long long time PAD smoker and got into vaping in 2006 when everything was crap and dropped it; just to frustrating. Got back into it some months ago when I walked into a vape shop and experienced how far this has progressed. But I digress.
Once I started back vaping I knew I could quit the analogs; but I couldn't quit that first one in the morning with the cup of coffee and the instantaneous buzz. Over a period of a month I started smoking less of the morning analog until it was a couple of hits and thinking this tastes like s#$% and started picking up the ecig. One day I just picked up the ecig with the coffee instead of a cigarette and that was it.
I was a very addicted cigarette smoker and tried everything under the sun for years and years to stop.
I feel that my story may be somewhat typical of longtime heavily addicted cigarette smokers from what I have read here. Keep plugging along and your ending will be success too.
Before I started vaping every 20minutes I was taking 3 or 4 drags off a smoke then putting it out. I got a cig a like in the mail and never went back.
Welcome on board. I suggested everyone and am suggesting you too. Dont ever fight with analogs. Jack London in his John Barleycorn writes, a drink always find a way to be drank. The weather is bad you drink, the weather is good you drink. You feel bad you drink you feel wanderfull you drink. Just as that my friend smoking always has a pretext to make you smoke.
You dont count the ones you smoke You have to be contented with the count of "you did not smoke". So you are in a right road to quit.
Funny enough with my first drag I understood I can get rid of smoking. I think it has to do with the liquid or the device itself.
You are not quilty you can smoke that 5 no matter. After all if you had ceased 5 cigarettes a day you would have been very happy go ahead
Meanwhile try to increasse the nic level and find more adorable liquids to help you more.
As for me Leave aside an urge I forgot all ceremonies rolling my own cigarette, lighting with Zippo etc.
I am even at the side of "this stinking smell." I was a tobacco lover now I am a vaping lover and hate smoking and do not think I can stand even for 1 stick.

I will admit that I do reach into my pockets when I go out to the smoking patio at work, then feel a bit silly about reaching for a pack that isn't there. As far as actually wanting to smoke, though, it's just not there. The day I purchased my first starter kit (ego battery with a bottom coil clearomizer) I finished the rest of the pack I had on me and haven't smoked an analog since. I did take a drag of a cigarette from my friend the other day on a lark, and it was disgusting. She bought herself a kit the next day (I guess it made an impression) and has had the same results so far. It's kinda funny, actually, I've converted about five people so far and I've only been vaping for a little over two weeks

wow, like a fox with no tail becomes king, orders first the tails will be removed
I was a 2 pad Marlboro 100s smoker for 45 years. I started vaping 3 months ago tomorrow. Within 3 days I was down to 2 cigarettes a day, in the morning and before bed. I had cravings that first week. I was using 18mg nic. Someone told me to bump the nic up to 24mg. I did and have not had a cigarette since. Find a liquid you can vape all day. That and the nic level did it for me.
My 30 days was hard. Thought about it all the time for 3 to 4 days up to day 30. Woke up on day 30 and not a craving since. It is fine to have that cigarette if you need it. Sometimes your journey is to relax and forget about it and just let it happen. There is a thread for people who struggle with smoking and vaping. Many are having trouble giving up those last few, or don't want to. Come and check it out. We are a friendly bunch.

And it really is about the cigarettes you don't smoke and not about those last few. Don't stress yourself over it. You are doing great. Congratulations.

First off, congratulations on cutting down so much. I second just about everything that everyone else is saying here. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to give up the last couple cigs a day you're still having. You'll get there eventually. I originally tried e-cigs about 5 or 6 years ago, but the device I got, a blu I think, was awful. I didn't really know any and couldn't find any alternatives at the time so I gave up on it. I picked up vaping again about a month or so ago and it's been great.
What I've noticed now and has helped me is that there is such a positive, supportive, and enthusiastic community built up around vaping. What I've been doing is just trying to get excited about it and get into it. Try out different devices and juices, read through the reviews and blogs, and watch the videos. There's some great stuff here and all around the web.
The other difference for me between vaping and other quitting methods is that with stuff like the patch and nic gum I was always thinking about not having a cigarette. They all only functioned as replacement activities. Vaping I enjoy unto itself, and I think I will continue to do it even if I don't need the nicotine anymore and am using 0 nic juices.
Anyway, good luck Intox, and stick with it.

as our nicks smilar I thought it was my message first. course didnt know I had written this.
Yes smoking was bad with me my breath wasnt enough for a past page walk stairs were nightmare. I heard these e-cigs so I bargained myself to get one. But I would have my tea (not coffe) and cigarettes ceremony in the mornings. Once I was ok I would try to get along with e-cig. With the very first drag in vendor got me. It was a high nic. level. I came home with that. Untill they sold me a fake liquid I did not smoke.One day vape did not get me I crawed for cigarettes so lit one after another and found out that the liquid was a fake. Went out bought expensive liquid and that was it. never looked behind
