Do you still smoke analogs?

I used to smoke analogs at work outside in the freezing could while my co-worker sat in the office smoking his custom ecig mod. I've tried to quit several times to no avail. One day he gave me a link to smoktek, and I ordered an ego with some juice. The mail came a couple days later as I was smoking an analog, and I put it out half way. That was my last cigarette 8 months ago. I've been around smoke a few times since and thought it was disgusting. I will never ever go back to coughing up phlegm every morning.

I had a period of time, a long one, in which I did both, well, all three hookah. Well, you know, suprised I have lungs. For me the transition was an avenue to veer off onto, that was akin to smoking hoohka helped. I hate cigerettes, but hopelessly hooked...it became an easy switch. I consider myself to be an addict, not in recovery, from the drug of nicotine. I am a nurse, I understand it physiologically, can't easily quit nicotine psychologically. I have slowly weaned myself to 12mg dose liquid, we won't discuss the amount :) I love the taste, smells, feel of the vapor, I'll continue with no nicotine at some point...and at that point, I will consider myself a free of nicotine, but at this point, I am cigarette free!!!! Many months. Very happy. Just do both and don't stress it, you'll find your way across. A couple of months of doing both, and I was sitting there playing with my vaporizer one afternoon, vaping some really fine concoxioun of wonderful rum-sugar-something, and I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought about a ciggy all day!
 
I haven't smoked since I started vaping. I just found some of my djarum blacks today when I switching purses, and I think I'm going to have to toss them. I always hated the taste of smoke and never allowed smoking in my house (even from me), so now that I can vape without that smoky aftertaste and do it in the comfort of my air-conditioned home... there's just no competition.

Quit analogs a month ago roughly, switched to vaping 100%. I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't want one, I'll even go so far as to say that if there had been just one single cigarette in the house I just might have been willing to knife fight for it. Hell, I even had a weird dream about sneaking to the store and buying cigarettes. Then I went to visit my parents house and sat out on the deck with my mom while she was having a cigarette, and caught a whiff of it, and by golly the smell made me feel ill.

I don't smoke cigs if I can help it. A few times in the last 6 months I had to smoke though because I didn't have backups of attys. But now I have plenty of vape gear and I have no desire at all to smoke a cig. I honestly hated it when my atomizer broke and I had to smoke. It was completely disgusting and I wondered how in the world did I ever like smoking? Coughing up all kinds of nasty stuff when I wake up in the morning and not being able to breathe.
 
Hello. I was 3PAD smoker for a good while. I work from home so it was pretty easy to just keep one lit all the time. Wife smoked 1PAD. We both decided to pick a date a few months in the future and start getting mentally prepared to quit cold turkey. (That date was 8/8/2014). We woke up on Saturday, 8/9 and began our white knuckle journey. By Sunday afternoon, we were both a bit of a wreck. Still smoke free, but really having a rough time of it. We found a Vape shop open and decided if we were going to have a chance in hell, we better get some backup.
We each had tried Ecigs before but didn't really catch on. That Sunday, we bought each of us an iTaste MVP and a Nautilus Aspire tank. We have been smoke free since and we both truly enjoy vaping and everything about it.

I went back to the Vape shop yesterday (that was the two week smoke free mark) and bought another Aspire tank, an Kanga tank, and a few more flavors to try out. We found one of our "stick" Ecigs, and I'm sorry I still haven't learned all the jargon, though I did browse through the sticky posts, but it's a fairly nice one (now that we sort of know how to use it.) So we have that with two of the slim tanks, 3 Aspire tanks, 1 Kanga Aerotank Mega, the tank that came with one of the MVP's, and about 6 different flavors in rotation that we can swap out when the mood hits us.

I'm really happy with it and truly grateful that after 3PAD, I can't imagine smoking cigs again. I got really ...... off the other night, and there is a full pack of cigs that has been laying around here in a kitchen drawer. I grabbed one, went out on the porch, lit it up, and just about gagged. Tossed it after about two really small hits. It was way nasty!

Yep, I'm done. There is no comparison, Vaping is far superior. In my mind, it's a much more advanced "future" way of smoking.

Take care everyone, see ya around.
-the smurf.
