Has anyone had to go back to analogs temporarily?

Never forget the power of sign language. Get your vape out, point at it, point to the liquid, etc. Everywhere I've traveled people have been more than helpful. Years ago I had to find electrical outlet safety covers for a baby that started crawling sooner than expected. If I could do that without knowing the language where I was I suspect you can find some liquids.

I've smoked a few drags in a pinch when my ecig was on the fritz and my girlfriend offered to share with me. It was pretty horrible... I'm sure I "could" go back if I needed to, but I'd rather go without (and be a little pissy) than to buy a pack of cigarettes for myself.

I got back from vacation around 2 weeks ago. The first night I was there I got pretty drunk and bought a pack of smokes. I smoked the entire rest of the trip which was 7 days total. Smoked my last cigarette when I left the hotel for the airport. I had no problem changing back. I will say that I had a good mindset and even when I puffed my first smoke I knew I wasn't staying on them. A warning though is that they are extremely addictive. I forgot the power that those tiny sticks contain. If you have any doubts at all try to avoid smoking but if you are certain that you will not go back to smoking I'd say have at it.

I don't know if I could even smoke a cig now after 11 months. If I didn't have vape I'm sure I would try.

I'm pretty old though and they might really make me feel crummy. I might try one though.

All it could do was kill me.

After going for 20 months without a single cigarette, and several periods where I went without a vape for several days at a time, I gotta believe I would try to bite the bullet and try to go without. (Easy for me to say, I know.....). Also find it rather amazing that you can't find any supplies there, where most of the equipment actually originates.
I would have thought that they were sold on most street corners. One learns something new every day.....I do feel for ya. Good luck!

You mean you wouldn't throw it away for 10 years with only one cigarette?

No thats not what I meant at all.

1 could easily become 2 etc etc.

And it wouldnt be ten years with just one cigarette. It would be 4 years without any and then if youre extremely lucky 6 more....... with a stumbling block in between.

Anything else is just rationalizing and thats not healthy.

So far so good, unfortunately I won't be able to do any shopping in Beijing before I leave, my biggest concern is on the flight but I guess I'll just be dealing with the same thing any smoker goes through on a 17hr flight

Can I recommend to you that you purchase lots of gum for the flight! Lots of gum in lots of flavors! Just last month I did 16hrs straight on 3 different flights without a single vape session! I won't say it was easy and well it sucked, but hey I remastered my long lost bubble blowing talents!! My 9 yr old daughter was impressed and horrified all at the same time!
You can do it! We are all cheering for you!!!
