I've been vaping on and off for about 3 weeks. When I first got my ego and some strong tobacco flavored cartomizers I hated it and just about gave up. I then ordered several small bottles of various samples fron Viking Vapors. 24 mg and 70/30 PG/VG. I'm sitting at work right now vaping some mint flavor that I love-my boss doesn't mind-she smokes (outside). I'm still smoking analogs-3/4 pack a day compared to 1 1/2 packs. My advise is to get several flavors and strengths until you find something you like. Yesterday I sat in a Microsoft training session all day with only 3 cigarettes-I stealth vaped (chocolate mint) & no one noticed! Also stay on this forum; it really helps me. I've smoked cigarettes and weed for 40 years & I really need to quit tobacco.

You might need to up your nic level a tad. Or just give it some time. Try to go cold turkey from the analogs. It's up to you. everyone is different. I found giving up my 1-1.5 PAD smoking habit super simple at 24mg e-liquid. But I also realized I had to give it a serious go considering how much money I spent on all the e-cig stuff. So I went straight off the analogs completely and into e-cigs.
It was hard at first for me too. I remember the first day I packed up my ecig and no cigarettes in the morning. I was actually depressed about it. But after a few days I no longer felt like that anymore and made the transition okay. I don't think that going from smokes to ecigs is so streamline for everyone. Its hard to get used to and you still feel out of sorts for a few days, at least that was my experience. Doing great now. Everyone that's asked about it, that's one of the first things I say. Don't give up on it, give your body a chance to adjust. I think I must have been withdrawing from something beyond the nicotine, can't say for sure but that's my opinion.
Glad you found some more suitable flavors. Thin Mint is currently my favorite as well. Keep trying to lower your reliance on the analogs, it's totally worth it!
I did that when I first started. I thought oh no, this is NOT for me, I hate it. But I had publicized it too much that I was going to do it so I was stuck. With the wonderful help I got from ECF members I was liking it in no time and now I wouldn't go back to butts for nothing.
Bathroom stalls are where I go to vape at events. I just don't let any vapor go up.
Re switching to vaping - I think it helped me that I didn't even like the harsh cheap cigarettes I had been smoking the last year (ever since my favorite mellow ones had gotten too expensive at $60+/carton). So even that initial bottle of PG was almost acceptable compared to my alternative. But it left me a feeling not totally satisfied. And some smooth fruity/foody flavors of PG/VG left me craving an analog as if I had just eaten, so I now only use those to flavor tobacco juice. My old too-expensive fave analogs had cocoa in them so I was on the lookout for a tobacco flavor with cocoa and the first one I saw was BWB Casablanca and that did the trick for me. Reminiscent of my old fave analogs and a ton nicer than the remaining harsh cheap analogs I had around.

for me i guess It took no effort what so ever to convert to vaping. But maybe it was easier considering I was a menthol smoker, and the menthol juices usually seem to taste very similar to their analog counterpart.
Like u said, Don't give up, this is a matter of hit or miss on the juice, just keep trying until u find the right one for u........
