Almost a week now! And I have only had a drag to see how it tasted, and on day one, 2 analogs when my batts died. All of which I regretted, bad taste and that smell that I am more sensitive to now. I think I'll be having the odd one outside a bar with friends maybe, or in a pinch without my 510 (especially during the olympics here in Vancouver, not sure how security might react to these yet, especially how tight it will be for the events that I am attending) but not enjoying it that much I bet.
And it has been ridiculously easy, even vaping or not smoking at all while my girlfriend puffs on an analog (if I actually venture outside to do so, lol). As long as my batts are charged or my passthrough is close, I have no desire whatsoever to go back to analogs.
I have quit before and even with zyban (which did work for me until I was stupid enough to think that I could just have a couple while drinking) it was never this easy.

I smoked for 13 years and I quit the day I got my PV. It's been over 5 months. I only have cravings the first couple weeks.
I was a smoker for 17 years. January 2nd was my 18th anniversary of being a smoker. It was also the first day I picked up an ecigarette for the first time. Since then I've had two cigarettes, and I can't for the life of me understand the appeal of them anymore. Electronic cigarettes are not only a safer smoking experience, but a far superior one. Those primitive firesticks just can't compare. It's not even close. As for dosage, I have found that my nic dosage keeps going up. But for now at least, I'm okay with that.
Today is 2 weeks without an analog...since I started vaping I have not even a thought about picking up an analog.
about to get rid of the e cig cart on the swap.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
i am NOT one of those lucky ones who got it right away.

I completly quit on January 1st, this year after smoking for over 30 years! E-cigs make it easy to stop!
Haven't smoked an analog in 12 days, ever since I got my 510 kit and I don't want to ever again because I don't feel the need.
November 30, 2009..... that was my first day of NOT smoking!
and, since then.... I have had 2 "slips"....
So, all in all, nearly 4 months and only 4 real cigs!
awesome, considering i smoked ~20 cigs a day previous....
that ~2,000 cigs avoided!

I smoked analogs for 25 years and was up to a pack and a half a day, sometimes 2 packs a day...
Have not touched an analog in over a year now thanks to vaping and my PV...

Dumped anna probably 6 days ago now.
To anyone reading this, thinking about getting a e-cig, just do it.
Its so worth it. Just do it without even worrying if you'll stay with it.
Because after 4-5 days its almost hard to go back to normal cigs.
I still have packs all around the house and I cringe when I see them.
After just SIX days!
If you've been angry with yourself every cigarette you smoke for a while now, then get an e-cig and be proud of yourself. Its like never quitting, but at the same time you know your feeling more healthy and you aren't disgusted with yourself every time you light up, no more pains in the lungs that make you worry, no more consistent bad breath. You seriously don't miss the cigs.

Yeppur, check my signature. Tried everything before and was really starting to think I would never break my pack a day, 30 year habit. This is the easiest its ever been. Yes the e-cig is a blessing, but so are these forums. They're full of help and encouragement.
I found out that I naturally smoked less stink sticks the longer I vaped. Find a mod you'll use and enjoy, and don't force the issue.
I'm down to one cigarette a week now (someone will offer me a new brand or something to try) and I don't enjoy them like I used to.

Yes, your right - don't force the issue! Some of my friends got way too excited and it did not go well for them.
I've quit smoking, and now even vaping. I quit cigs in July or August of 2009, and have not used my pv since early Feb of 2010. I used Snus to help break my ecig habit, which only took about a week. I have been nicotine and tabacco free for almost a month now with no problems as far as cravings go. I was a smoker of 14 years, a pack and a half a day for most of it.
Tried EVERYTHING ELSE under the sun but could not stop
. Patches, gum, losenzegs, ect.
Been alalogue free since 12/10/09 (3 mos.) and the easiest it has ever been!!
