I tried a few differnent brands of ecig form truck stops before I gave up smoking and those didnt work. I started them again after about three weeks after I quit smoking and now really like them. I started with a brand Mistic for about a year until the company went under then I switch to cig2go. Just last night, I bought a small bottle of e-liquid (cant remember the name) and filled a few carts and now really like it!
How long after you started vaping did you quit smoking cigarettes?

Quit the same day I started Vaping, still crave an analog from time to time though.
Got my kit on Jan. 17, 2013. Smoked three more analogs the next day. After vaping for two days....I couldn't stand the taste or smell of analogs. For me, it was a decision to quit the sticks and this was after smoking since junior high!! ( I won't say how many years I smoked, just trust me...it was a bunch!!) If smoking tasted as good as vaping...I would still be smoking analogs.

I quit by accident. I got a kit because my wife wanted me to try an ecig. I didn't think it would work, but I quit smoking 3 days after I started vaping. Now almost 2 years later my wife just kind of rolls her eyes when the mail comes because there's always some sort of vape mail for me 
i quit since day 1, i still have that old half pack of cigs i abandoned that day sitting in my closet, not a single crave ever since. i started with a fruity strawberry 24mg liquid wich is very strong, but amazingly made me forget about analogs. now i'm at 18mg happily proud smoke free
I stopped smoking the minute I bought my first gas station throw away e cig. I gave a friend of mine an ego,kit and he still smokes 3 months later although he is down to one or two a week as opposed to a pack a day. The goal is to quit cigarettes all together but if worse case you cut down to a few a week, I think you have made an improvement.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I quit the same day, so far so good. The little fits come from time to time. Usually when I'm distracted and just want to out of habit. Couple puffs on the ecig and problemo solved. Vape tastes much better anyway, even the worst flavors are better than those nasty sticks...
Three days. I found myself vaping more but kept me off cigs. I tried one the other day and cannot stand the smell or taste. I took two drags and put it out. That says a lot from me because I was a pack to 2 pack a day smoker for 30 years.
I first tried E-Cigs a few years ago.. They didn't do much for me, I spent several hundred dollars, and never really went more than a day or two without smoking a real cigarette. I wrote them off as a gimmick.
I really didn't give them a second thought until a few months ago when a friend of mine switched to E-cigs. He's currently using a generic Blu-type setup, and it's working fine for him. I started seeing commercials on TV about E-cigs and thought I'd look back into it. After a week or so of research, I decided to try something I considered a step up from the Blu style setup. It was okay, but I'm not a real big fan of the cartomizers. I mostly ended up flooding them. Not to mention, the process of refiling a cart is a pain, as I tend to burn through them rather quickly.
I realized after about a week I wasn't going to be able to keep doing this. It was easier (for me anyway) to just go buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke those. Time for more research.
I found the eGo type e-cigs. Much easier to refill, and about a zillion vendors sell them. Now I'm getting somewhere, I think to myself as I smoke one of my last real cigarettes.
I also found this forum. I read it endlessly. Soon realized that most everyone's tastebuds suck!! and there is no e-liquid that tastes exactly like my beloved Marlboro Lights, no matter what anyone says. Halo isnt' as good as most people would lead you to believe and Johnson Creek isn't as bad, and no matter how hard you try, you will probably never know what Radiator Pluid tastes like because it's always sold out.
I did, however, discover rebuildable atomizers, batteries that last a whole day or more, and things I never knew I needed like Kanthal wire and SS mesh or SS wire rope, or aquarium airstones.
What I needed, as much as I needed to quit smoknig, was something to keep my mind off that fact that I wasn't smoking. Wrapping wire around metal wicks and doing it again, and again and again, kept my mind off the not smoking part. Looking at this or that vendor's website also kept me busy... and broke.
A few more weeks into this, I'd discovered some e-liquids that I actually liked! Some even (sort-of) remind me of smoking.
Then, while washing the car and cleaning out the inside after a long winter, I found a half of a pack of cigarettes under the seat. I toyed around with the idea of trashing them, but of not before I took one out of the pack and smoked it.
Then I smoked another one, then another, then another. I didn't enjoy it (though I kind of wanted to. Hard to give up 30+ year old habits). I really got nothing from those cigarettes that my newly discovered e-liquids wasn't giving me from the VAMO and AGA T+ I'm currently using.
So to answer the question... It took me about two weeks to quit smoking after I started vaping, a few more to decide I wasn't going back. Ever.

It took about three days to finally realize that I didn't need analogs anymore. Pretty good considering that I was consuming about a pack and a half a day of Marlboro Red 100's (started at 2-3 packs a day). I used to love those guys, but alas it was no longer meant to be. Couldn't be happier.
Addiction is pretty funny at times. I went from two packs a week, and when my friend introduced me into e-cigs, i just stopped.
Now my addiction lies in cranking the best possible vape out of the mod.

For me it was different, first i quit smoking for about 16 months and after i started once again with analogs. In the mean time a friend of mine started to use these things and i was able to test one. Next day i bought a cheap kit, carto style and after some deep research i switched to Provari + ZAP. Different league as price but also as vape quality.
I got started with c-cigs by using the disposables. I couldn't have quit completely on those, so I used them for about two weeks while I was researching my "real" kit and cut my analogs in half. I got my Ego Twist on a thursday, smoked about 5 analogs per day as I was getting the hang of the new twist until Sunday morning. Easter Sunday morning was my last cigarette. 11 days later, I feel great and have no desire to go back. I never actually decided to quit at that moment; I never said "this is my last cig", it just pretty much happened that way. Sometimes its better to let it happen naturally, but when you feel like you can do it, you still have to have the willpower to say no.
The first three days are the hardest while you are retraining your brain to associate vaping with the "ahhh" feeling of cigarette smoking, but it happens pretty quickly. Just go with the vape whenever you have a craving, and amazingly, you will be satistified. That is assuming you have the right equipment and liquid that works for you. I'm still struggling in that dept, but it's trial and error, of course.

I have not smoked a cigarette since the day I got my first kit two months ago. I will not say that it has been easy. I have a full carton of 10 packages of cigarettes in my drawer, but I have not touched them since that first day.
The advice on this thread to be patient with yourself and switch over at your own pace is to my mind the very best way to quit the bad stuff. You have started vaping and in MHO the switch will happen.
i quit right right then. the place i went to had a quitters wall and they glue your pack of smokes to the wall with your name and date on it. i havnt touched or thought about a cig from then on. The Midas Ry4 at a 18 gave me everything i needed, but now that flavor disgusts me lol. good luck on the quit
