I've always been amazed at just how many people stopped analogues on their first e-cig and wish it could have been the same for me.
I've been on e-cigs for two months now. I was a 40-60 a day smoker (sometimes even more during highly stressful days). I was amazed to find that the next day I started on e-cigs, I had only 20 analogues. Within a week, I was down to 12-15 a day. I'm now down to about 5 a day, having automatically slowed down on analogues as time went by without noticing it.
Maybe analogues don't taste as awful to me as they do to others as I smoked extremely mild light analogues that really had no taste at all, compared to others.
I don't actually know why I'm still picking up analogues as they don't really do anything for me. I prefer vaping, especially with all the lovely flavoured liquids one can get.
As I was smoking 0.1 nic analogues, I was scared of any liquid higher than 0 or 6 mg. So I got 0 and 11 mg liquids and cut the 11 mg to 6 mg with glycerine. It was only when I started getting 16 and 18 mg nic liquids, that my consumption of analogues began to visibly reduce.
I don't feel any "hit" from nicotine, so I can't really tell the difference between 0 and 18 mg - so I still don't know why it made a difference to me. Maybe because I don't really inhale either analogues or e-cigs. Or maybe some of the liquids taste stronger in the higher nic level, or even in different models of e-cig.
