Yeah... I kinda miss it to be honest.... I love vaping but even if i lost that insane crave for nicotine, i still can't shake the crave of an analog. The e-cig is great, and i've been vaping for about 2 years but i hate that i always have to worry about charging, having enough liquid with me everywhere i go, replacement atomizers and so on, and so on... If before i could just buy a pack or a lighter everywhere, now i have to wait till i get home to recharge, refill or replace something...

I don't miss smoking. I don't miss my clothes stinking. I don't miss my fingers stinking. I don't miss my cats getting out of my lap and running away whenever I'd light up. I don't miss the bronchitis smoking caused. I don't miss having no physical endurance whatsoever. I don't miss stinking of burnt tobacco smoke everywhere I go. I don't miss the continual fire hazard that smoking presented. I don't miss being made to go outside in the cold of winter or the heat of summer to get my nicotine fix. I don't miss my entire house stinking of cigarette smoke. I don't miss having to open up my PC case twice a month to clean out all the ash deposits on the fans, the power supply and the heat sinks.

But I DO miss getting to use my cool, brushed steel, embossed Zippo lighter that I had just bought a few weeks before I quit smoking. Now it's going to waste, along with two large cans of lighter fluid, four replacement wicks and three packs of flints. I still take it out of its box in my desk drawer and light it a couple of times every now and then.

After all, I shouldn't forsake the basic human ability to make fire at will just because I took away the entire reason for having a lighter. Right?

Not at all, I find myself wondering how I did it so long 30 years, but it was because I enjoyed the rituals of it, which I still have with vaping. That's why this has been successful for me. I would never go back,I know that for certain, how many people who have quit other ways can say that with certainty.

I just got off analogs, have tried many different ways to kick them. Gums, patches, hypnosis. Nothing worked. Always went back to them. Picked up a cheap eGo style from local tobacco shop, haven't looked back. Have almost a whole pack i opened on my way home from tobacco store, and have absolutly no interest in them. Already feeling better can breathe easier etc. Not waking up in the morning coughing and all that. Lovin the flavors. Want to get into mods etc now. Looking for more vapor. Just can't believe the huge difference just a few days has made. Also got my wife one, she is loving it also.
