I smoked for my whole life (2 packs a day) and I have been without a cigarette now for 2 1/2 years....... I can honestly say that I DO NOT miss smoking and it is probably because I love vaping more than I loved to smoke! I feel better and the variety of flavors and hardware is just amazing!!

In the beginning I did not know if I would be able to do it because I tried the gums and the patches etc., etc........ but that was the problem - I loved to smoke and I never loved to chew gum so I needed to find something that I could love at least as much as smoking......enter e-cigs!! the rest as they say is HISTORY..... thank goodness.

lol over the past month I have had the worst luck vaping (my pv died, got a replacement it died, was piffed a mech and the charger died) and even still instead of going back to smoking I just sucked it up and used the crappy cig-look-a-like

so no, no I do not miss smoking...I was half tempted for a moment in a rage of nic fit and despair but held to my gun and vaped on with a crappy blu battery and then a greensmoke battery.....

only thing I miss at times is the clove (as I was an avid clove smoker not cigarette...) I've gotten pretty close with diy

I smoked 3+ packs a day for more than 40 years. It's like saying goodbye to an old friend. Sure I miss it. But it's been over a year and, even tho I crave cigarettes often, I am able to resist them.

When I had been vaping for about 3 months, I snuck out on the patio and smoked a couple. I felt like a kid who had stole a couple from dad. Boy were they good. I realized then and there that I loved them...and that I would have to let them go.

Yes, I cant lie I do miss it. The act of lighting the perfectly packed sweet smelling stick of heaven, going outside on a crisp fall day, dragging that first smokey taste of heaven into my lungs and slowly blowing it out my mouth, feeling the world melt away and my DGAF meter pegging out at maximum, the flicking of the ash errrmahhhgoddd I do miss it sometimes. However, vaping is really fun for me and I love all the flavors, havent had a stick in somewhere around 2 months =)

Only been vaping for 3 weeks, but no I do not miss it. I did quit cold turkey a few years ago, and was off cigs for over a year. Everyday I missed smoking. I missed the act of smoking, not the smell and all the other crap that goes with it. Then one day, the stress was too much and I started back. I hated it, but loved it.

Vaping gives me the pleasure of the act without all that goes with analogs. I have cut down from 18mg to 6mg, and my goal is to get to 0. I don't foresee ever stopping vaping.
