I don't miss smoking at all. Especially the way that it made my dreadlocks and clothes smell. I took out a winter coat I had packed away last year and i couldn't wear it until i washed it a few times because the lingering smell of old stale yucky smoke was stuck in it. I'm loving the sweet smelling soft clouds from my vape. I'll never go back to analogs =]
Oh man, I just went through that. Pulled out a wool coat that I haven't worn since last year, I couldn't believe how bad it smelled when I got up close and personal with it.
Its only been a few days since I've been without an analog, so maybe it's just the cravings, but whenever someone is around me smoking just the sight makes me all jittery and wishing I could drag it just once. Though as soon as the smell of the smoke reaches my nose, it usually changes my mind and I'll just give the vape a puff and that cigarette becomes unbearable to be around.
God NO! -- I'm so glad and relieved that I'm off cigarettes -- but have to admit, that I'm quite obsessed with ecigs and vaping right now!
I'm not quite off smoking yet, but I hope to be very soon. A pack will now last me most of the week instead of a day.
Oh that is SO not good. I think I can live without my peacoat, but I've got a cashmere dress coat that I'd really rather not have to trash...
Oh no...Don't throw out the coats. Find yourself a dry-cleaners who specialize in fire restoration. They'll have an ozone machine (or can send it out a place that does) that will knock that ciggy stink right of your woolens. (My family ran a cleaners for many years--Advice from the professional!) It'll cost $$$, but less than a new coat, for sure!
Anyway, back on topic. It's been only two weeks for me, but I can say without a doubt I DO NOT miss smoking at all. Sure, I get an urge for an analog now and then. It helps to keep a bottle of 24mg tobacco flavor on hand for those weak moments (My go to is Halo Freedom Juice--I hate the taste, but it kicks that analog craving right on its ....).
Ive been vaping for a while and i still havent had any urge to quit smoking. I started fooling with RBA tanks and now i definitely notice im smoking less, but still no urge to quit
On December 7th I had two a.m. analogs and none since. This is HUGE for me as I've been a hard core smoker for over 50 years. The only times I ever quit were my two pregnancies (couldn't stand the taste/smell) and once for six weeks when I was sick with some bizarre illness. As soon as I felt better, it was back to the smokes. My doc/kids have been harping on me for years to quit but I just blew everyone off. Purchased a starter e cig about two years ago and never even opened the box. Purchased another starter kit two weeks ago with the intention of at least giving it a shot this time. The first three days were very tough. I felt as if I lost my best friend...a friend who was always there throughout the tough times and the good times. I almost caved this past Wednesday because I was feeling so miserable but I refused to give in. This morning my car battery was dead and the first thing I wanted was a smoke but again, I said NO! So, yes, I do miss it but it's getting better and I feel hopeful. Vaping certainly tastes better than analogs and I don't have to go slinking around at work (alcohol/drug rehab of all things so I should be well versed on addictions) wondering who I'm offending by the stench. Doing this one day at a time.....
As someone who was a 2PAD smoker for 30+ years, I can feel for you~!
A couple of thoughts that may help?
When I started vaping, it was with the idea that I could and would smoke anytime I wanted to, so the stressy pressure was off. For me, the key was finding a setup that worked well for me, and finding a juice that I really liked, and, NOT trying to lower my nicotine level right away!
If you vape the rest of your life at 24mg, you're still 99% better off than smoking!
I started with a cig-a-like and prefilled carts - it was OK
I found heaven when I switched to a Joyetech 100mah pass-through battery (just one) with a mini Vivi Nova (the plain jane real one) and some wonderful 'Vanilla' 24mg e-juice! From that time I've had no real interest in smoking, no suffering or anything. At that point I didn't have to carry so much crap, could tell if I was getting low, etc...
Of course, since then I've changed gear again - ProVari with a tank - Carto setup (same idea, only even better still) - the point is to figure out what works well for you, and get a flavor that you just love, and keep the NIC level high enough so you don't start craving...
At this point, I am quit, and have not lost a friend or anything
Best luck to you~!
That feeling of wanting a cigarette during time of stress is as much habit as addiction - if you keep it up, it will go away and you'll find yourself reaching for your PV instead.
Funny thing with me is although I do not actually miss it at all, since day 3 that I took a few puffs only to be disgusted, I have dreamed of smoking a couple of times. It seems like the subconscious reptilian-brain still hangs on to the habit.
Not even a little bit, and when I smell one I can't believe I smoked those stinkers, 1.5 packs a day for 35 years, been smoke free since the day I got my first device, 2.5 years now.
I'm kind of retrained in my addiction. I reach for a vape that I'm craving, have some of my flavors tobacco-like, and occasionally vape on my cig-alikes during the day so I won't miss the old 2 finger hold.
Six months vaping and not missing about 34 years and a pack and a half per day of those disgusting things I used to love.

I've only been smoke free for less than a month. The other night the wife and I got into a huge fight... The stress of xmas combined with some grief from my x-wife made for an explosive environment. I'm happy to report that the thought of having a cigarette didn't even cross my mind.
