Had a cig craving today

[AngusATAT]

Out of the blue, it just hit me, I wanted a cig. First time since I started vaping. No real reason why.

I just shrugged, loaded up my Chuck with some mocha juice, and vaped the feeling away.

Anyone else just get a wierd craving for a cig for no reason after months of being tobacco-free?

I have had it a few times and I was not doing anything I would consider a trigger for it either. Was a out of the blue kind of thing I guess eventually it will go away.

Angus---I notice it still after over a year now of vaping. i have found it happens when I am doing something that I used to smoke while doing, but have not done so, since I started vaping.

For example--places like taking the car in for service waiting---I wanted a smoke real bad, but next time I did not.

Or in an airport---yes I wanted that smoke. Or it could be meeting up with someone I smoked with all the time. Or when I went to do my taxes. I have found over the course of the last year of vaping that there are triggers where a Vape just does not cut it and you want a smoke. The urge does go away, but it sure is a pain in the rear.

I've been lucky and haven't. My girl still smokes daily, and the smell of it is a good reminder of why I don't want it.

At least the good part is that it didn't make me want to actually go smoke a cig. It just made me grab my Chuck. Every other time I've tried to quit smoking, when that craving hit, I would almost have an anxiety attack because I needed a cig so bad. Now I know that I can just vape a bit and I'll be fine.

I still thank my lucky stars that I got my e-cigs. It's the best thing I've ever done. And it angers me greatly that there are people who want to try and take them away from me.

yes, me too.. it happens once in a great while/

Yeah, I get that too. I keep a 6ml bottle of 36mg juice with me and vape a drop or two and it goes away. For some really strange reason, when I'm mixing my DIY flavors, I get this insane urge to smoke. Why would it hit at that time? It has been this way since the very beginning.

I get the urge like normal but the 'weird' thing for me was for about 2 months + I was getting a mental picture of smoking (like seeing myself smoking??) which made it harder to resist. I still did, but thought that was odd. Not getting that as much now at 4 months. I'm also doing the 'a few drops of 24mg in a 12mg cart and finding that I'm not power vaping as much. I'm not heading for 0mg nic but perhaps 6 or 8mg, but likely will still do the 2 drops of 24mg or perhaps 18mg.... who knows. lol
