Greetings - Anyone try a cigarette a few months after switching?

[gingertalk196]

I think many of us have that temptation and give into it. Some vape and smoke and it's fine for them, at least they are reducing their amount of cigarettes. I found that 2 puffs was enough for me to put it out...tastes is terrible. Sometimes I just miss that feel of a cigarette in my hand.
Best of luck to you, gingertalk196

I originally weaned myself off cigarettes in a week of starting vaping. I goofed one day about a month ago, forgot to take my ego with me and bought a pack of cigs. It's taken me about a month to get back down to one cig a day. I guess I like the tobacco flavor too much. I'm going to try the better naturally extracted tobacco flavors.

^^^This!^^^
Man, I loved tobacco... absolutely loved the stuff! Not so much cigarettes, good riddance to them.
But it was truly hard to look at my pipe tobacco and cigars sitting in my humidor and deciding "From this point on, no more tobacco".
Finding NETs was the game changer for me.
I know it's not for everyone and kudos to those who were able to jump into non-tobacco flavors. Wasn't so easy for me.
True-to-taste NETs was the stuff that really scratched that itch I was missing when I turned to vaping exclusively...
I would recommend looking deeper into NETs if you think it would be beneficial to you. It's the only way to know.

Hey chewster, I've been lurking too, albeit almost a year! You gave me the courage and the exact post I needed to break the ice. For that, I thank you.

I have not taken one single puff of an analog since I smoked my last stinky half-stub the day I purchased my vaporizer and first bottle of juice on November 21, 2013, after smoking for 27 years. I've never even been tempted enough to try. Why go back to a single, nasty flavor when I have a plethora of fruits and desserts to sate my palate? I have to admit when I initially started vaping I felt an occasional craving for a cigarette, but it's long since gone away. However I have had dreams where I'd been smoking and in those dreams, EVERY time, I clearly had the thought that I no longer had bragging rights to claim I'd never smoked another cigarette. It was AWESOME to wake up and realize they were just nightmares! Maybe those dreams were a kind of virtual substitute so I wouldn't do it for real? Hmm, yes, I do believe so.

When I took up vaping, I never looked back. It never even occurred to me to do both at the same time! Luckily, I was somehow under the impression I couldn't do both. As far as I was concerned, it was one thing or the other and I chose vaping. Hells, I still have what's left of my last pack of cigarettes to give to friends when they're visiting. That is, if they're desperate enough because DAMN, they're horribly stale now, so my sister told me this last Thanksgiving! So even if I DID have a temporary lapse of sanity over an overwhelming desire to pollute my lungs and stink up my nose, I dare say it would be VERY short-lived! Simply put, I just don't want to.

I tried one of my friends marlboro lights I use to smoke and didn't smoke half of it before putting it out. The taste was terrible and the smoke was not satisfying as a nice vape full of tasty juice. I already knew I was done with cigs but this reinforced that in my big time. I'll either vape or go without. Now I am on to mixing my own for lower costs to near nothing. Already down to 3mg and 0mg at times so I hope to learn a few flavor profiles I like to mix myself plenty and then kick the vaping as well. Maybe now and then when working on the PC or driving but it has already changed my life in that I no longer think about when and where I'll be able to smoke my next cigarette!

If i can find a steady supply of liquid then hopefully i wont need to smoke again. Just started like 1 week

I gotta ask, why is it difficult to find juice?

For me the smell of a fresh lit cig pulls me in sometimes, makes me think I want a cig... my fiance went back to cigs after a year and I HATE how he smells and tastes... so, that cures my thought of, maybe I'll just have one for the hell of it... peeeee-u!

Since I started vaping, I noticed the longer I went without a cigarette I could smell smoke on a person from 30 feet away. The smell bothers me, and the taste is even worse. I do enjoy a good pipe full of Latakia tobacco though. I still enjoy a good cigar, or pipe.... but the cigarettes I cant stand. Its like the difference between a gourmet meal and McDonalds. lol

A little more than 1 year into vaping and quitting cigarettes one of my dogs had a really bad accident at home in our yard. We had to rush him to the ER vet and I ran out without any vape gear. 3 hours later at the hospital as we awaited word of his condition I started to nic from sheer anxienty and nervousness. My wife still smokes and I made her give me one. I finished it but it was awful. That's when I knew I would never smoke another cigarette again.

ten days in and don't really want to try a real one again, well not yet and hopefully not ever lol

After one week I tried and didn't like it as before.

I had one a couple weeks ago because I let my battery die. It tasted so bad I actually gagged. Not worth the nicotine
