6 months - but I wasn't really trying to quit. Once I did decide to, it really wasn't that terribly bad, but I did have more trouble than other people. Everyone's different. Good luck!
it took me a few weeks to finally stop analogs i think it would have been faster if i had of gotten a real ecig to start with,
i started with a cigalike (a blu) it just could not keep up with my habit so i had to still smoke once in awile.
i finally found a ego kit after a few weeks at a local shop.
i have had alot of new ecigs since then trying to find the perfect vape for me but the ego is a great kit for a beginner/moderate user and was enough to keep me from going back to analogs.

Once I figured I needed 18mg rather than 12 I was good.
Thinking about dropping to 12 now a year or so in but in no rush. Just get over nic'ed using what I use from time to time.

Wasn't planning/trying to quit
- within a few days without trying I was down from a pack and a half per day to less than 10 (about 6 - 8) ... at that time I realized I might actually be able to quit smoking
- by about the 10th day I had a couple of days without a cigarette but getting problematic symptoms so decided to taper off more slowly, went back to about 4 - 5 a day
- made a few changes and now down to about 1-1/2 to 2 per day
Different people seem to find different ways to quit suit them best - whether you choose to stop right away or taper off you are sure to find people here who can share their experiences with you. Good luck!

While I already answered the direct question, I neglected to provide inspiration.
I jumped in with both feet. I traded an old cowboy his original rough stack, a couple of batts, a 60ml bottle of chinese juice, a couple of well used attys, and a hand carved drip tip for a lariat he admired after he saw it hanging in my truck. It was the best barter I've ever done.
I took straight to vaping and put my pack of camels in the glove box never to be seen again until I threw them on my desk a few weeks ago,,, and then just tossed them in the rubbish bin a couple of days ago.
OK Now for the inspiration part: A couple of times a month, i visit a friend I've known for about 35 or so years. When I go to his house, he pours me a nice glass of top shelf whiskey and takes a box of expensive cigars down from the humidor. We had a habit of sitting on the porch sipping whiskey and enjoying a fine cigar. Well... I went over 10 days after giving up tobacco. Our ritual went fine until I had to refuse my cigar. That was a tough evening drinking lots of good whiskey and smelling that $230 cigar for what seemed like hours.
That was extra-tough and i almost caved in for a nice cigar. As a double whammy, he also smokes my sister's brand of cigarette (I've bummed hundreds of cigarettes off my older sister over the years - I like them). He lit up while walking me out to the driveway and saying 'good evening drive safe' to my wife and offering me a cigarette out of his pack. The smell of the Marlboro light was double tough to walk away from. But, i did.
I managed it. those few hours were plenty difficult, but once they had passed, I never had such a problem again. I had to stay strong just that once and then my subconscious mind figured out I didn't need tobacco any more. After that, I never even noticed so much as the mildest pang or jones for an analog. My vape gets the job done.

The next day. I had one more analog the next morning after I bought my starter kit. Actually about 1/4 of an analog. I did not like it, and that was that. My girl quit completely three days later.
Maybe two weeks. I continued smoking just enough to supplement my vaping so I didn't run out of vape supplies until I had replacements. I could have quit after a day or two of vaping, but I had to take a little while to figure out flavors to order, etc., then wait for them to arrive.
thanks for your input everyone.. keep it coming 
i started this 6 days ago.. not even sure were it came from... though i knew smoking upwards 2 packs a day was bad i never thought to quit.. ecigs came in to my mind out of no where. and now i smoke less than 10 analogs a day after 6 days from 40 a day.. and to tell u the truth after getting a eGo T even those that i do smoke r gross to me.. wow its a miracle

Yeah there is no "right" way to quit. There is no "right" way to vape, either. I know some vapers who still smoke a handful of smokes months and months after beginning vaping. Cool. They have to do what is right for them. Happy vaping! It is a wonderful habit/hobby.
Immediately. Was quite a surprise to me because I had tried several times over 20 years to quit smoking unsuccessfully. A week after vaping I tried an analog out of curiosity and it disgusted me. I put it out after the first nasty puff.
I can't say I've stopped because although I havent had cigarette for 7 days the thought of saying I'd stopped on this thread caused me to think that I wanted one. Addiction is a tricky thing.
I think the magic is in letting yourself have one because as you say....they are gross when compared to any vaping juice you can buy.
Eventually I hope that I just wont want another smelly cigarette.

Well, i got my stuff last wednesday, smoked 2 analogs/day till today, now i'm out of analogs and aint gonna buy any more.
one thing i admire from this forum is the saying.. its not the cigarettes you do smoke.. but the ones you dont. i have cut down (not smoked) 30 cigarettes a day because of ecigs... one day i will smoke none.
