How long did it take you to get off analogs?

[PeepSqueak]

I was a 2+ PAD smoker for 20 years. I went to a local B&M and purchased an ego starter kit on 1/30. I still had half a carton of cigarettes left and I noticed that I started reaching for my ego more and more instead of my pack and lighter. I finished that carton on February 7th, and I haven't even craved one since. Drinking was always my major downfall. There were nights that I would go out to the bar and go through 3 packs that day without even realizing it. My AHA! moment came on Mardi Gras when I went out and imbibed a little too much and never even thought about bumming a smoke at the bar! That's when I knew I was done with smoking.
Thursday marks 3 weeks for me. I am going to spend it deep cleaning my car.

I vaped and smoked for about 6 weeks, but I really cut down on stinky cigs quickly. I loved vaping and still do, absolutely no desire to smoke ever again! vaping is amazing. bnrk

took me about 2 months.....I used to be a PAD smoker. I also began to hate everything about smoking and just stuck to vaping eventually went from 20 to 10 to 5 to 3 to 1 to none long road but worth it!

eventually went from 20 to 10 to 5 to 3 to 1 to none long road but worth it!

I did the same sort of taper-off, but my road was longer. Took me 15 months to make the complete switch but have been analoge free for the past 2.5 years and counting, not regreting a minute of it

Smoked about a pack a day from 12 years old to 32 years old.

I tried a cheap ecig starter kit from a drug store, and it worked until I realized I was highly sensitive to an ingredient in the prefilled cartos. I used those for a week, then gave them away and ordered a better set online.

When my kit came in, I stepped outside and had my last cigarette. I marked my last cigarette date and time in my VapeMate app. It was Feb 6, 2013 at 4:35pm. I was determined to make that my last cigarette, and it was.

I'll never go back. The smell of smoke disgusts me now. I hate passing smokers out in public, they reek! It reinforces my devotion to vaping. I can't believe I used to smell like that!!

It only took a couple of days for me. I couldn't believe how much I liked vaping more than smoking. It took me about 6 months to convert my mom who is 70. Finally got a device she was comfortable with and some good juice. Now she is a big fan and an ex-smoker of 50 years.

It took me almost a year. I started with an 808 setup. Vaped all the prefilled carts and ordered some more. Smoked 1 or 2 cigs a day during that process. Then I started filling my own carts and didn't smoke at all for a few weeks to a month but I steadily started smoking more and more until January of this year. I met a guy who used eGos and had a bigger mod for home. I tried his and loved it. Ordered 2 twists and some different clearos and never looked back. I had 1 cig on the second day and still have 3 unopened packs in my car that I will never touch. It went so well this time that my dad, who is 70 years old, has started vaping. He's still smoking on occasion but I think he sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

A friend of mine had to take 1 year, only 2 months here

I was a pack-a-day smoker when I started vaping about a month ago and my smoking immediately fell to about 6-7 cigs a day. Now I'm still at 1-2 a day on average, but sometimes can go a day without any.

I'd been a PAD smoker for 22 years, and in my first 2 days of vaping I smoked 3 analogs, none since. I still have a pack and a half of Red's tucked away, but no desire to touch them

Was a pack a day smoker from 16-29. Only took me 1 day to transition to vaping. Now I have a hobby instead of a habit.
