Don't do it. Newport's for 15 years. I could have written your post... keep vaping and cravings will subside. I had a cig in My truck for 2 months before a tossed it last week. Looked at it whenever a had a craving. Haven't smoked since October 1. Bought my ego September 29. Went from pack a day to 1 a day for 2 days.
Going on 7 days without an analog, really feeling the urge.

Well... ok so I might of had a couple since, but I'm already back at 6 days without and feeling much less urgy than before.
Everyone couldnt be more right tho, the first analog nearly made me ill, the aftertaste, after-smell and all the additives.. wow, ick, its like I've already forgotten what it was like.
So, I'm ok, had a couple bumps in the road but the big picture is that in the last two weeks I would of had at least 150 analogs and have had actually only 2.
It does really feel like I'm in a weird spot right now, I want to smoke but I dont want to smoke, I like the analog, but I don't like the analog, heh. I dunno it's a giant mixed bag of feelings, I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean...
Just gonna try to keep on keepin on : )

That's all you can do. The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up for having a few analogs. That serves no purpose whatsoever.
When I made the transition I did it gradually over a 2 week course. I phased out the cigs and phased in the vaping. I think that made the transition easier and I could make an instant comparison between vaping and smoking. I liked vaping much better even though the cigs still had and still have a pull on me at times to this day. What a demon to beat, eh?
Congrats on you progress thus far!!

Just a quick update.
Three weeks without an analog today.
If I get a little stressed or something I still feel that "I should have a cigarette!" but other than that they really arn't calling to me much anymore.
Figuring around 450 passed up analogs.
Savings is at... a negative 100 bucks, but I have a lot of juice and gear to last a while.

Congrats. After the first month mark I stopped really cravy them. I still have an almost full pack in my purse. I never reach for it, but I still need to know it is there. After my last anaolog I had( had a few drinks) it just reminded me of a burnt atty so the thought of smoking it sounds and taste gross, that is the only reason I haven't wanted one
Indeed, congrats!
I started with Reds and then swapped to Milds and smoked in a fashion similar to what you describe. I experienced that nag in the brain too where I wanted to vape, but wanted to smoke, but smoke was yuck, but vape... I found it good to just go for a walk while vaping when that hit.
From here on out, it's just a matter of reprogramming the brain from the years of doing the ritual. But the good news is, your brain will replace it all with vape habits. Before you know it when someone asks for a light, you'll be reaching into your pocket to hand them a battery instead of a lighter.
(Guilty!)

(Guilty!)Four weeks sans analog and despite probably being more addicted to my PV than I ever was with analogs, feeling very good.
Even threw away a half pack of analogs I had laying around.
Passed on about 550 or so analogs, fun to think about that number growing, already it just seems eerily huge, that's a lot of butts and only about 6 weeks worth... ick.

Well done! You've got it made now. After 5 weeks I felt the pull (at a casino surrounded by smokers) and I had one last cig. It tasted so awful I knew I was done. No more cravings at all after that. It has been 8 months now and I can be around smokers any time and it doesn't even tempt me. I just puff away on my eGo and I'm happy as a clam. So grateful for all of the help I have found on this forum. I know I would not have been able to figure this out on my own.
