I am not proud of it but i fell off the wagon and had an analog and i found myself primer puffing and deep inhaling which was followed by a 30 second hack my head off coughing fit, and to think only a year ago i did this 40 times a day like it was second nature.kinda made me happy though to reaffirm that i am now a vaper and no longer a smoker. just wondering if anyone else has done this.
ever fallen off the wagon and realized you forgot how to smoke?

It is so funny how we think we want an analog, out of habit, and then realize how much more pleasant vaping is!
Haven't thought about an analog in a year and a half. That first 6 months though.... each month I would try one just to see why I wanted one. Never found a reason. One puff and it would be tossed. Eventually I had to give up because that life was over and I couldn't find any reason to test it anymore. Pretty funny I was grasping at straws for no reason... I didn't even want an analog but felt I had to make really sure I didn't want one. haha
"Traditional" smoking cessation counselors will tell you to never ever do this. They'll tell you that smoking just one cigarette means you have to start over...but I found that being told that I could never ever smoke again was the biggest reason I had a hard time quitting. I could go days, weeks, or even months without smoking, but NEVER again? That was a truly frightening thought!
If you can't beat the smoking habit, beat the smoking system--'Think outside the pack!' I've gone without smoking cigarettes for over 18 months because I am no longer afraid of smoking if I really want to... But as long as I can find a smoke-free alternative that I like better than smoking, I never really want to smoke! I gave myself permission to smoke if I want to, and now the only reason I don't occassionally have a "test" cigarette to make sure I still dislike it is because I intentionally smoked one cigarette on 12/31/09 so now I have a streak that I don't want to break!
tried an analog too but vomited after a few puff.. like seriously vomited out.. since then i never try analg.. geez.. couldn't believe that could happen..
I still want an analog. However, I KNOW from experience that I can not ever have another puff. I have relapsed TOO MANY times to count because of that one puff, which leads to one cigarette, which leads to a pack and a half. The frightening thought to me is to resume smoking.
Yes ..I haven't got past carrying with me yet (security I guess)..Anyway I was out and bout and both batts died on me. Well yep I lit up and it really made my head swim and get kind of sick to my stomach but I really didn't want it Haven't tried that again.
I haven't tried one since I started vaping almost 6 months ago. I may have one at my 1 yr. mark - I'm not sure. But I am sure I'm never going back. I don't want to give up all this extra beer money I've got now (lol - now I just need someone to invent an e-beer!)
I have smoked a cigarette occasionally just to make sure I'm not really missing something. I always go right back to vaping and have never had a problem relapsing because the cigs are so nasty. Perhaps just a confirmation.
At first I was tempted. Gave in once and had a puff and, as stated, it was nasty.
After that I knew it was a mental thing and I haven't looked back.

It's even harder when your spouse still smokes. I'll bum one of hers once a week or longer just to confirm that they still taste like dirt. I usually can't finish it and go right back to vaping. I think it's more of a "someone telling you you can't do it" thing for me. It doesn't bother me to be around smokers and I don't get the urge around them because I'm usually vaping at the same time their smoking. I definately don't miss having to go out in the heat or rain or snow to get me nic fix.
