For the past 7 days I've been in Mexico hanging around at a resort in playacar de carmen. There was A LOT of drinking involved. I'm talking about often starting before noon and not stopping until midnight or one in the morning. Before I left on this trip I knew that I would probably end up smoking a cigarette here and there. I was ok with that. But I ended up smoking cigarettes almost exclusively.
I brought a whole bunch of vaping equipment. A provari, two ego's, 4 boxes of cartomizers, tanks, tools, etc... The first day I was doing a mix of vaping and cigarettes. The cigarettes were ok until I had about 5 of them within a span of 2 hours. Then I could feel it. It would start to make me feel sick. A really heavy lung type of feeling. So i would switch to vaping until I felt better. And after a few more drinks, I would go back to the cigs. This went on for 2.5 to 3 days, and I didn't touch my vaping equipment again.
I figured I could just switch back to vaping immediately after I left mexico, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Then I realized my problem. When i started vaping, I transitioned slowly into it. I started with 20 cigarettes a day, then it was 10, then it was 5, etc... The whole process to zero took a good month or maybe a month and a half.
One week ago I had no problem avoiding cigarettes. Didn't even cross my mind to smoke one. Now I seemed to have redeveloped the mental addiction. And what I thought was going to take a day to fix, might take slightly longer. Hopefully it won't take a month. I've noticed my smokers cough is back in the mornings, and even on the plane ride home, I was one of those jerks that was going though coughing fits that no amount of water could seem to cure.
I guess the good thing is that I'm ready to quit again. Wish me luck..

I was HOOKED on analogs for 30+ years, but after vaping two weeks I gave them up entirely. I'm glad I had that one, because for the first time ever, I got the polar opposite of satisfaction from it. I had quit for 3 years once, but going back was instant satisfaction.. so my conclusion is that vaping gives me what I need equally to analogs, but delivers 10x more flavor and 1000x more flavor options
