First morning with no analog!

[nin_brokenhalo5]

I was having trouble in the mornings not reaching for the pack to get my day going. Before vaping I would smoke 4 or 5 analogs with my coffee just to get out of bed! Been about three weeks of vaping on a DSE 901 (80% analog reduction) and a week with an eGO. I knew I had a better shot with the eGO on my very first hit with it..just still couldn't get past that morning analog.

Had recently ordered a 24mg nic juice from my fave supplier, and used that this morning as a top up on a blank cart for the first time. I feel satisfied and ready for work! Incredible. I normally use 18mg juice or lower.

Now, I just need 5 more posts so I can add my banner. Might be a little too excited right now, it is only one day, but it is a triumph for me. Had two analogs yesterday. Would have smoked a pack on a Sunday being home all day.

Thanks for reading and have a great day. Out the door tobacco free for the first time in..sheesh a decade??

Congratulations! When you find the right combination of hardware and juice, it really does make all the difference.

Welcome nin_brokenhalo5 and Congratulations! It's a great feeling isn't it? Truly amazing. I figured I would be smoking until I was dead....but not anymore!!!!

congrats! when i started to vape , i put down the ciggy's, i vaped alot at 24mg nic, i was vapeing every 20 min. or so, i stuck with it , its been 5 months now. im not vapeing as much as i was when i started,not so edgy anymore, at work i hardly vape, WOW!. good to see that your giving it a shot, good job, stay with it

Congrats I too have now gone past 24 hours without an analog Sure feels great.

24mg can be the key. I recently dropped to 18mg and before I knew it, I was back up to a half pack or more a day from my previous 1 with coffee and 1 after a meal. Switching back to 24mg is dropping those cravings quickly.

Congrats nin. I know what you mean about those morning wake-up smokes. I was a pack a day smoker and the first 3 or 4 would be in the first hour with 2 or 3 cups of coffee. It's interesting that, in my case anyway, now that I am vaping in the morning, I drink less coffee too and feel much better for it.

Congrats!

I think it was hard for all of us to get over the cig with coffee thing.... it was like the ultimate wake up mix, (or the ultimate run to the bathroom mix) but eventually you will find a juice flavor that compliments your coffee really well, and all will be right with the world again.

also, Huge NIN fan here. I still have the Broken Mini CD that came with it all those years ago

Congrats! I too find that I have the most trouble in the morning. If I get past that I am ok for the day. If I give in then I am having a few others throughout the day. However, I still consider it a success as I am not smoking the 3 PAD I was before starting to vape.

Good luck and best wishes on your quit.

Thats a great milestone. Keep it up. Seems like it gets easier. My banner helps me as well.

 

[Dragline]

Congratulations... the wake up and after meal cravings have been the most difficult for me personally, but fighting through that has been easier with my e fig. Keep on fighting.

Happy Vaping.

Absolute congrats. I was a 2pack/25years smoker just a couple months ago. 2 months now without the analogs and don't miss 'em. What helps me in the morning is a freshly charged eGO with a nylon drip tip and 3-4 drops of my richest tobacco flavor (State Express 555.) I get that full flavor bustin' into my mouth, killer throat hit, plenty of vapor, and now I'm ready to get my coffee on. I wish you continued success.. you are saving a buttload of money, or at least you will be once you get your juice favorites narrowed down.

 

[Newme]

Congratulations! I'm not quite there yet. But I'm thinking I need some 24 mg for those analogs I can't seem to let go of yet.

 

[jtpjc]

Sorry, at the moment I like to be a zombie the first two hours of the morning. Stagger out of bed, make a pot of coffee, smoke my brains out, abuse the bathroom. For some reason I still need that before I realize that there are eight ecigs waiting for me.

 

[texasgranny]

Congrats on your strength and just keep on keeping on!
Great choice in increasing your nic during times of high cravings.
I even have 36 nic just for that as well.

It does get better with time, I promise.

 

[Doneyd67]

I know what you mean about waking up and reaching for the 1st cig in the morning, its funny now cause when i wake up in the mornings i dont have that craving for one till sometime miday day ...hmmmm but once i start vaping ha! i cant put it down LOL!

 

[rmpetty]

Great news. Congratulation & continued good luck. Also, get rid if the lighter and ashtray, it will help you in not reaching for the analog.

 

[pupmastermp3]

Congratulations! Good job! That's Great News!....Now that I got that out of the way (not that I don't mean it, I do) but I must say, GET RID OF THE ANALOGS!!! If your goal is to vape instead of smoke, then you can really help yourself by not having analogs to reach for in the morning. If you have reservations about actually giving them up, then you won't give them up. Make a definite decision and then take action on that decision by getting rid of them. Like they say "if you keep hanging out in that barber shop, eventually you will get a hair cut". If you still can't get yourself to get rid of them, try keeping them in the trunk of your car and keep a PV where you usually keep your analogs.

Thank you so much everybody for the terrific support.

Now I am home on lunch break..another time I would smoke my brains out with analog's. Not today..just going with the 24mg again..and feeling fine.

Next 24mg time is right after work when I get home for the night. Then will start stepping it down through the evening from 18mg to 11mg at bedtime...
