Thanks guys. Man did I feel like I failed after that. I felt like I cheated. Was all guilty.... so what's the deal now? I gotta reset the quit banner?
Had a cigarette.

Yes they taste terrible when you haven't had one in awhile but be careful it only takes a couple smokes to get "used" to it again and back to normal. I quit smoking for a year and all it took was 2 or 3 cigarette... This was before I knew what vaping was though

It would always be the primetimes that got me back to smoking. Primetimes after a workout. The after... ah....intercourse smoke is the one I will miss the most. Seems a little nerdy to grab my MVP after lol
My son had roomed and boarded with the county numerous times. Each time, he would immediately start smoking just to get the buzz. The last time, they had recently employed a nurse who vapes and likes to spread the word. I asked him if he wanted to vape when he gets out. He said yes, so I invested in a kit for him, not just my castoff cigalikes. He had a few just getting out. I quickly sent him to his father, and he has bought more equipment since then. I talked with my daughter who had recently visited, and he tried to turn her on to vaping, but she wasn't ready.
He is doing well in a different social environment, and has recently been working!!
Don't beat yourself up over it. I've been quit for 18 months now. There have been a few times I've lit up. All those times were when I was drunk... 
Oddly it didn't taste disgusting to me...but I didn't like it, and I didn't start back the habit.

Never never ever beat yourself down for gathering more information about your journey into this new chapter in your life.
You are NOT back at square one - this experience in my opinion is a step forward in your journey.
And with that knowledge you can now proceed with even more confidence that you are doing a GREAT THING
Continue to celebrate each and every cigarette you avoid and vape-on!
Agreed! It's not a fail, it is THE test. When you smoke and it's disgusting, you are officially a vaper!
I did the same thing for a few months after I started vaping. Now, over a year later, I'm finally done with cigarettes. In fact, I found a pack of smokes in my motorcycle saddle bag a couple of weeks ago and promptly threw them in the trash and wasn't bothered one bit knowing that I didn't have a cigarette at my disposal. Don't give up...it has happened to most of us along the way. After trashing the cigarettes that I found I realized that this is the FIRST TIME in 50 years or so that I haven't had a cigarette anywhere in my house and I felt damn good about it!! Believe me...if I can do it then you can too!!!!!
Given the way the banner is written, you'd have to reset it. But so what, the reality that banner doesn't convey is that in 25 days, you've had a half a cigarette, and so 452 and a half have been avoided. Actual goal, as far as I can tell, is to avoid them. "Smoke free" is window dressing.
:I have been smoke free for 7 months. Did the smoking and vaping technique for 3days and I,, can still remember how nasty the last cig was. Literaly threw up in my mouth a little. We all go through it a little differently, what is important is that we succeed in the end. Take it easy on yourself, and vape on!
I have had a couple cigs in the last month, I still have a pack that I carry around...but none in three weeks - I didn't reset my counter for the "puff and throw out" I did two weeks ago - LOL!! I decided in the beginning of this to NOT beat myself up like I have every time I tried before and this is the most successful I have ever been.....the smell actually bugged me more than the burnt taste...you just did an experiment....no harm no foul
