Congrats on quitting! I'm right about the same time. I quit Feb 8, and haven't had one either, can't stand the smell of them anymore. 2 weeks to go for my 6 month vapeversary! And that's after a 40 year habit. Stick around, keep vaping, and you have a whole world of folks around here to lend help and support.

Congrats man!! I started vaping in April of 2013, and I've smoked about 3 packs since. I haven't had a cig in about a month though and don't plan on going back. I recently went through a really long relationship ending, so I bumped my nicotine and have been chain dripping like crazy. I haven't had any cravings since. I never want to go back to those coffin nails again :) I'm very impressed you haven't even looked back! Cheers to you good sir.
 
Congrats! I've found over the last 6 years or so (since I had to order these things from China) that vaping is an entirely pleasurable experience, where as smoking is nasty and terrible for you. People may not understand why you vape and think it's 'weird' (I still get people telling me that) but know you're better for it!
 
Took me a month and a half, but I went in with the mindset that I won't try to quit, I'll let my body just so wanting one. The body was ready before the mind. They treated horrible a week or so before I was ready to give them up for good, berm over a month.

I did promise I wouldn't be the guy who complained about smokers though, since I gagged those folks when I smoked, but I do smell that smell now, no good.

I also didn't want to be the type who gave unsolicited advise to start vaping instead. Luckily, I haven't had the chance. Before is even be able to talk I get moved with questions, and rarely are they the ANTZ type.

I just quit the stinkies (after 25+ years) on 7/7/14. A week, day, and a hour later, my husband (35+ years) also quit. When I got my vape, I had no intention of giving my cigs up for good. A day after, I lit one up and the taste of "Burnt Bleach" was the most disgusting taste I ever had. I couldn't and still can't figure out what drew me to ever put that crap in my mouth. My husband who is not a quitter of anything really still shocks me everyday. We both are enjoying breathing, smelling, and tasting everything. We are not enjoying getting the nasty smells and stains out of our walls, clothes, and car. That part has been a lot of work!
Congrats to you!!! We look forward to our 6 month anniversaries!

Congrats to all of you vapers, new and old. It's been well over two years since I quit analogs. E-cigs made it wonderfully easy to quit a two pack a day habit. My sense of smell and taste came back quickly. Now I can actually smell when someone is smoking an analog almost a block away!!!

You have a lot of good stuff to look forward to. You may notice improved cardio ability and stamina. No more smelling like an ash tray. No more horrible breath. No more yellow teeth. No more stinky hair, clothes, car, home. No more shortness of breath. No more hacking up half a lung in the middle of the night. And my favorite one of all....... No more paying tobacco companies to kill you!

Good Luck and Keep Going. Happy Vaping!
