How long did it take you to drop analogs fully?

[jcalvin1126]

Hello guys and gals, I have a question about how long it took you to completley drop those analogs? Like 100% none not even craved one. I have been ecig-ing it up for roughly 2 weeks now. At first it was all i needed untill about the 3rd day i started really really craving analogs. So instead of just relading back to analogs i limited myself, I noticed that the times i really wanted a analog was first thing in the morning one at lunch and one right before bed. So at first i would limit myself to 3 and use the e cig the rest of the day. But during these times i would really try to hold out on the analog as long as i could till i broke down. Today marks the first day since then that i did not have a analog in the morning... and I didnt even crave one, allthough i find my ecig a bit harch first thing in the morning lol. I also noticed that it really depends on what juice im using to how hard the cravings hit me. For instance im using hypnotic from vaper......com and it works great for me (tastes like cream soda) but my cinnimon just doesnt cut it. regardless im interested to see what people say about this.. i hope im not the only one that has a hard time be 100% analog free but the good thing is .. im trying and thats what is important.

It took me right about 2 weeks, I had a pack in the drawer and smoked in morning, 1 when I first got up and one at night. That is when craving was the worst. I threw the pack out 2 weeks in and got a VV device and have not smoked in almost 3 weeks. I use the VV in morning and night for the extra kick. Works great, good luck!!

A bit less than 2 months.

The key for me was finding a nicotine strength and flavor that worked after that point I just forgot to smoke.

You are not alone. I am on week 3, dropped analogues the moment my juice arrived. Got my first heavy craving for tobacco yesterday. Decades ago my father quit cold turkey, and last time I spoke to him about it he still got the itch for one occasionally.

The thing to remember is that there's a lot more in a cigarette than just tobacco and paper. They are designed to get you hooked. There's no good will with these companies, they rely on addiction in order to exist, regardless of the health of their customers.

ie: Light cigarettes are just marketing to make you think it's better (hence the labelling laws up here), it's all the same to them.

5 hours. Received kit, vaped for 5 hours, lit up a cigarette, compared it to the e-cig, decided i dont need cigarettes anymore. Next morning i started the day by vaping. This happened 21.000 unsmoked cigarettes ago .

It took me about a month...I was still smoking 1 - 4 a day until I got my ego w/ the 1000 mah bat...I haven't looked back since. I use a high nic also...24 to 30 is my usual.

I'm about 4 months into vaping seriously. I still have about 1 cig/day most days. But some days I just forget to smoke! Unbelievable isn't it? I'm hoping to forget for a whole week soon...maybe longer eh?

Four or five months for me. Kept going back to analogs and leaving the e-cig (ordinary 510 with standard battery) alone. Then with a bit more determination - a bad cold, 1100mah batteries, and a selection of flavours I stopped. Used to cheat a bit by eagerly passive smoking outside offices/ bars (as I was walking past). Now I cross the road to avoid the horrible smell. Off analogs now for 17 months. Good luck and don't think you've failed if you don't make the change in one go!

Got my kit in the mail and had 2 packs of cigs left, finished those off and that was that. Have not smoked in 9 days

Immediate...still have 1/2 a carton of Marlboros in the freezer.

 

[extraweb1]

i quit analogs about a week after i started eigs and i haven't turned back; but the first 3 days were the hardest

 

[SeMaNTiC]

i have been smoke free for 2 months. I stopped right away. missus still has one a day if not more. she will give it up eventually.

Honestly, When I first started I kept a pack around because I wasn't sure about if I would get a mad craving or not. Didn't touch them once - threw em out shortly after.

I think the biggest thing for me was being able to vape inside though - lived in a dorm at the time that was no smoking, and Im pretty sure if I had a drink or two in a place you could light up in a house I would have

2 weeks... Got kit left analogs in truck only. Smoked while driving to work pack ran out 2 weeks later never bought another analog...

I quit pretty much right away. The first week I had a couple of cigarettes, mostly just to see if it was true that they'd taste bad. They did. I've still got a out half a pack of cigarettes tucked away in my vaping box. They are almost a year old now. I may have a disposal ceremony on my anniversary.

For some people it does take a while though. Be patient with yourself. Count the cigarettes you are NOT smoking rather than the ones you are. If you can get to 2 or 3 a day rather than a pack, you are doing a great deal of harm reduction.

I picked up my first e-cig about a week ago and i still had half a pack of analog left, now that they are gone I haven't touched one since. Honestly i think the only reason i smokes the last of my analogs was because I'm a tight wad and it felt like i was wasting my money by simply throwing them out. How ever i have not felt a craving to go back to analog since i started using the e-cig, i have in the past tried to quit smoking entirely and it never worked with medication, patches, or gum. so i feel that i have made a step in a very healthy direction by choosing to switch.

Have been smoking for more than 20 years. Tried to quit once but only lasted for a month. It happened one morning I bought a nice looking disposable e-cig ( cost a bit more expensive than a pack of analog here ) and I loved the flavour. I went crazy and vaping it all day. Then I bought the cheapo 402 e-cig type but so frustated by lack the of flavor, vapor and vaping time. I searched on line and found the Personal Vaporizer @ PV. Bought the eGo kit plus tank and the rest is history. Stopped smoking the first day I got my PV

less than 2 weeks with ecigs so far .. still smoking ... but the number of cigarettes has dropped by 80% on a good day, 50% on a bad day. If I keep at it, should be able to knock it down to 0 cigarettes, but I expect smoking and vaping will both end the same time.
