Going for it! Day 1...

[2WYCE]

Hi, I used to smoke 1.5 to 2 packs of Black & Milds a day, started vaping 7 days ago, and have only bought 2 packs. I had a couple left yesterday so I decided to smoke them to get them out of the way and give this a go. I just finished the last one this morning. The last 3-4 times I smoked an analog, I was impatiently waiting until i was finished with it so that I could e-smoke again! So I'm trying to make that my last pack and last single! This morning at 8:30 was my last one.

Yesterday, I did not have one at all until it got pretty late at night, but I was fine. It might have been because I knew that if I wanted analog, I still had some left. But now i don't and I'm going to see how long i can go before buying another one. hopefully forever! *Fingers Crossed*

Thanks and good luck to everyone else.

still making it

It's sort of a "one day at a time" thing. I kept my last pack of analogs for over a week after I quit {5 months ago} as a backup. Then I gave them away after I got used to vaping and realized I could make it work.
Good luck

Good luck! You can do it!

You can do it! This is exactly how it went for me. Got the e-cig and still smoked analogs for almost two weeks but cut those in half and then by a third. Then last Friday night I got to the end of a pack and just decided not to buy more. It's been incredibly easy... almost too easy!

well its been over 24 hrs and i feel like i can do it. seems easier than i thought it would be, as long as i dont run out of juice. ordered some early last week. the juice that came with my e-cigar should last til at LEAST mid next week. so hopefully i'll have it then.

mischiefgrrl, your case sounds very familiar to my case, so i'll try to be like you!

thanks for the support! i've never had a forum of any kind or topic that i liked but i like this one. great people full of great information to learn from.

 

[mischiefgrrl]

I think your timing is just right. The first day I went without an analog was on a Sunday. I thought I had a good start to the week but then at work... well...

Then last weekend when I stopped analogs on a Friday night by Monday I had no urge whatsoever. The first day was easy. The 2nd and 3rd days I felt a little off, maybe antsy but not bad enough to go get more analogs. After that it's been pretty smooth sailing!

I just got a shipment from healthcabin and should be set for over a month. I'm bummed that paypal shut down the account of myvaporstore who seem to be able to get every order to your door in two days. I hope they have another merchant lined up a month from now when I'm ready to order again. If not, I'll think in advance and do healthcabin (from China).

Keep it up! You're doing great!

Good luck you can do it. I too just stopped analogs about 1 week ago and I havent had the erge to go buy a pack yet. Ive had to tweek my juices to see what mg are right through the week but think I have it now. like 24mg first thing in moring then rest day do 12mg seems to be working. I'm so happy. I dont even really think about smoking just vaping when I get a craving. GO GO GO. If I can do it you can.

good for all of you! great to hear these stories. my story is very familiar to yours too..
had 3 cartons left and solo them after a month.
never smoked another the day i got my first ecig.
very nasty habit that im glad is gone.
i would not go back even if i didnt have the ecig..
glad to hear everyones having such great success!

Good for you! That banner will get more and more meaningful, LOL. I still like seeing it every day. You can do it, and it's actually enjoyable quitting.

Congradulations to all of you who have turned to a vape instead of a deadly cigarette. I quit smoking 16 years ago when I learned I was preganant never returned. I always wanted to but I did not want to compromise my health or anyone elses, so I never smoked again. I saw the ecigarette in in small Rolling Stone article about Leo DiCaprio using them, did some research and found that this is is a healthier, cheaper and much greener way.

The FDA can't argue with the fact that ecigs are much better for the environment than cigarettes. Not to mention everyones over all health.

Everyone is right one day at a time.. I will always be suprised that it went so smoothly,, main thing I kept thinking was how much I liked vaping...that it actually was enjoyable lol... Good thoughts your way

Wow this is cool. never knew it would be this easy, so far, and after tomorrow (holiday), i think i will have made it over a hump that's been almost impossible before. As long as the juice i ordered comes in before mine runs out. I'm praying it does. It's funny because i do miss "burning" a little bit but every time i think about it, i notice i don't want to smell like it. then i vape and i'm cool. Plus I dont have to go outside (even tho we both smoked, we didn't smoke in the house because of the smell) It's been over two days... I see all of you do it so it makes me know i can even if it does get rough. I hope to encourage new members one day like you have me. thanks for being here.

It's definitely nice to curl up on the couch to watch a movie and not have to sit up to ash the cigarette or have to move away from hubby because the smoke is bothering him. And I don't have cigs burn away and taunt me with the money I'm wasting if I get busy typing or gaming .

Yay you're doing it!!!

Not having to go outside and interrupt your activities is one of the best parts! That and the stench of cigarette smoke.

My neighbors are having a bbq today and I might join them. They all smoke a lot, especially when drinking. Of course I loved this about them before because I could smoke with them and have a great time. Today I have 5 batteries and 2 PCCs fully charged so I'm loaded and ready to go! They like my e-cig but haven't been around it enough to be totally convinced. One of them ran out of cigs one night and asked if I had one and I loaned him the Blu until his friend came by with another pack for him.

Sounds like you picked a perfect time to give up analogs. Long holiday weekend... by Tuesday you'll have no problems going into the work week with no analogs. Good job!

it's amazing, isn't it? I kept waiting for the usual horrendous cravings, I had tried and failed to quit so many times...it was torture to even think about quitting!
but~ within a few days of getting my 510, cigarettes were just a memory! now I am forever free from cigs, it was effortless! I think I'm still in shock..I honestly didn't believe these things would work, but was curious and I'm so glad I gave them a try.... I am happy beyond words!

 

[2WYCE]

buttercrunch, i'm with you, i didn't think it would work either. that's why i had only ordered one for me and hadn't even mentioned it to my fiancee in fear of having to buy two of them only to have them not even work. After i found out it did work i had her try a krave disposable and now we're impatiently waiting for her 510 i ordered a few days ago. when she's around me, we'll share mine, so she has already cut down; but she's ready to stop smoking all together like i think i have. now i feel bad, but how can i lead a fiancee/wife in the right direction if i dont know it's the right direction! (at least that's my excuse i tell myself so i won't feel too bad) i'm so glad somebody invented these and i wish i had known about them years ago.

Best of luck and stay strong. Just think of the ill effect if you start craving an analog. Write them down on paper when you get a craving or watch a youtube video showing lung cancer or severe breathing problems. Face it head on!

 

[2WYCE]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I made it over the weekend including the holiday and through work yesterday. the good news is, i got my bottles of ejuice that i ordered, so now i'm good to go! I can now safely say i won't return to analogs if my equipment keeps working well. i plan on ordering some extra ecig equipment in a little less than 2 weeks (the break even point of all the e-cig stuff i ordered so far) so that i can have it on standby in case of equipment failure. I'm sure all you vets understand the "wow" factor that i'm experiencing; i'm still kind of in shock about how easy this is. once i get a craving, i just vape and i'm cool!

Thanks again!

Good for you- Only advice I got is keep buying supplies- make sure you got enough.

btw- I never hear people talking about e-cigars, what kind do you have. You should take some pictures of it- never can tell how good they look with crappy website pix.

Enjoy dude!
