I started about 2 months ago, still using both the 808 and the Ego. Which is more complicated, to deal with two models, but the 808 is so much better for dealing with breaks at work and vaping in public. So I guess I haven't "given up."
I started with a Kr808, which I'll consider to be a cig-style.
I used it happily for 4 months. The only thing that moved me away from it was having to keep buying cartomizers because they don't have long life spans, and the 901 atty which they will accommodate natively isn't a strong enough hit to me.
The 510 battery life is, of course, frustrating. And regular atties in general aren't really strong enough to me. So on I went to an eGo with LR's. Managed to fry those with my 510 LR's (the only atties that manage to give me a good hit and taste nice at the same time), so now I'm moving on to mods. Sick of losing batteries.

After my first day with the blu I was about to give up vaping because of the battery hassle. Luckily I found this forum and quickly purchased an ego and a week latter start down the road of mods where I am now. How long did it take you?
