You're right there. I went on Chantix for a month to completely eliminate all cravings, then went off that and started e-cigs, so I don't notice the difference.
Worked like a charm

Ok, everyone. I have decided on the shorty kit with the Prem. Menthol Lover's 24mg cartos with an extra pk of SSM 36mg. I hope this does the trick for him.
And with my order I qualified for a free pk of cartos, so I got the Prem. Caramel Frapp for me.

Sounds like a great plan! I like the shorty's too because they they have the same weight as a cig.
So what's the problem? E-cigs are a smoking alternative...not a smoking cessation product. (I posted that for anyone from the FDA reading this).
Fact is....although many drop the cigs on day one, some take longer (like weeks and months)....and some really aren't looking to quit entirely at any rate. The war is won with some small victories. As long as improvement is happening like 3 or 4 cigs instead of 2 or 3 packs....it's all good. Be patient and don't stress the details.
Have to 100% agree with this. We all have cut down our smoking and that is GREAT! I still need the quick nic fix of 1 in the morning. We all put enough guilt on ourselves, I have been trying to just let that go.
That's what I've been telling myself this week. I started off strong three weeks ago and have even had a few stretches where it was 2-3 days between having an analog. This week has been a rough one and I've burned up a pack over the last day and a half. It's hard remembering that a month ago I had a pack and a half a day habit and that even when I "slip" I'm doing much, much better than I was 30 days ago. Fall down, get up again... repeat as needed.

Your doing great! The great thing about e-cigs is now when it comes to real cigs, we can take them or leave them whenever we want.
great title. 
allcoexpat, don't stress over smoking a bit here and there... just keep temptin yourself back to vaping... it'll happen. i'm the same way, where if i have a cig i have an 'oh shizz' moment, but one or two or even half a pack now and again is a lot better than a carton a week.

Exactly how I feel about it. Society is down on smokers enough as it is. I'm not gonna be stressing over it. I started Vaping 2 weeks ago today and from Day 1 I have found myself smoking 3-5 cigs/day as compared to 25-30/day prior to this. Not bad for putting in absolutely NO effort. At some point I will probably make a push for total abstinence from cigs but at this point I'm just happy as hell that it's working as well as it is anyway!
Ok, guess I forgot to mention that he really doesn't want to smoke the analogs. I know 3-4 a day isn't bad and I'm not choking him for backsliding. All I'm doing is trying to help him find something that will satisfy him better than what he's currently using because that's what his gripe is.
Good choice... As others have said, that Smilin Special Menthol is fantastic. You'd be hard-pressed to find somebody who DOESN'T like it.
Every cigarette not smoked is a victory.
Hope you have enough tips and tricks to satisfy your husband now. Thought I would throw in my two cents, I vape 24mg on a regular basis and 36mg when that nasty craving hits me. It has been two months since my last analog, so for me it works. Good Luck! Micki
Honestly - I vape 36mg like 24/7. I can sneak by with 24mg, but at 18 it's like vaping air. 24mg is like an Ultra Light to me - just borderline. 36mg is the sweet-spot.
It's so funny the way different people seem to process nicotine strength differently. I was SUCH a heavy chain smoker, for SO long, and wasn't even bent on quitting immediately. 18 took care of me completely first day, zero craving since, effortless. My daughter found 'em dizzying and will order lower. It seems really random re what people were smoking before. Another mystery.
