How long have you been analog free?

[Fishman7]

look at the sig line its not easy at times but i have not had any analogs
i can smell and taste and i dont stink anymore
i was a 2+ pack a day for over 20 years

 

[mickthecat]

5 weeks and 5 days without cigs and have not wanted an analog since I switched completely to ecigs. Never thought I could do this actually.

 

[juicefreak]

1 yr + a week or so. It wasn't until a few months ago that i quit wanting one or dreaming about them. I have no desire now and i'm surrounded by 2 smokers in the house

that's why i started e-cigs. i knew there was no way i could cold turkey it with smokers around me. i don't have that kind of will power.

in the same way that i was vaping one day and forgot to have a cigarette (when i allowed myself 5 a day the first month of vaping), out of the blue i've been cutting back on the need to chain vape, lowered the nic most days and still don't want a cigarette.

the night i realized i hadn't had a cigarette all day (11pm that night) i told myself, 'let me see how far i can go with this', is the same attitude I have about vaping. eventually i'd like to quit everything, but i play it by ear = not going to stress myself. doing great with things as they are.

i no longer freak out about juice inventory or atties, batteries on hand. it's a good feeling! light at the end of the tunnel and if i'm enjoying the vape - i vape. if it's aggravating, i lay it down and am fine either way.

171 days and counting...

Maybe three hours?!? I think this juice stuff might be too strong for me though, lol. I got a Volcano and 8mg strength carts. I used to smoke around 5 100's a day on average. Smoking Camel Light Analogs. Because I'm goofy and was trying to quit, I'd smoke 1 half, then the other later on.
Anyway, got a good buzz going from the juice.

I think my idea of using this as a way to reduce nicotine intake and quit smoking was flawed. More likely I'll quit smoking and drastically increase nicotine intake, lol. In a couple of months I'll be found complaining about none of the vendors offering 128mg strength juice. lol.

Woot, my first post in the books!

Danyulc, I was told here that nicotine is self-regulating just like caffeine, you will feel when you had too much. But I still worry about nic intake too... becoz it feels so f**ing good

cheers

 

[Neekyme]

I think I'm at one month! (gotta look at my sig to know for sure lol)

 

[IMWylde]

16 days. Was soo easy for me. I have had a serious problem with smoking for years. Didn't like anything about it. Bought a 510 and a pass through plugged it in and that was it for me and analogs

 

[sassyblondeinwa]

58 days here very happy about smelling like a woman instead of a dirty wet ashtray!!!! my sister got her ecig five days after me.. she is smoke free and she smoked one heck of alot more then i did.. she dont cough all night any more.. that rocks people.. e cigs save lives even drs are agreeing with this........ why does the goverment not see it.. cause they have billions of dollars in tax money in thier eyes

 

[fursty99]

I started hal and halfing last friday cuz i had one pack left. smoke my last analog monday morning about 8. i havent had one since then although sometimes the cravings do hit me. but still no analogs since monday and i had an extremely hectic week, broke on pv, lost and atm card to the atm monster and my companies website got hacked. and i am IS security. i looked really bad lol. but my boss gave me points because normally i run outside and lite up

 

[Baran]

My first post and my 10th day without an analog. Did some research, bought a Janty Ego and havent looked back. Smoked for 18 yrs and only wish i started vaping earlier.

 

[Maddening]

Three weeks here. Started May 21, tried two analogues on the 22, and haven't looked back since. Not even a single craving.

 

[Joyimui]

2 months! and lovvvving it~

 

[usmarox]

About three weeks, I think. The week I got my first e-cig I went through about 40 analogues (down from 140 ), but by the second week I was clean.

Now working my way down the juice strengths - on 11mg from 18 now.

 

[brycej1111]

i've had greaat results! i was gifted a v4l vaporking a month and a half ago. i've tried to smoke a cigarette just to compare. the only feeling they give me is sickening, weak, and silly tasting. i used to smoke a pack a day, and i have no desire for tobacco. not something i planned on, but unbelievable and great!

1 week. COLD.
Joye 501 with PCC. Lifesaver.
Toughest times is when I have some drinks, but I vape, vape, vape and it gets me through.

Good luck to all.

Salud, dinero y amor.

 

[BarkeepCat]

Shows my noobness.
I believe that would be a Joye 510.
Ha!

Salud, dinero y amor.

Been analog free since October 2006. I quit using Nicabate lozenges, but ended up addicted to the lozenges. You aren't supposed to use the lozenges for more than 3 months, but I was on them for nearly 3 years. I tried vaping last August, seemed like a cool way to smoke again without the cost or health risks, and haven't looked back.

I think I am on day 46, whoo Hoo!!!

That's interesting. We were out at the G/F university ball last night, and it's the hardest time for me as well. OTOH, even while thinking I wanted an analogue, my head vetoed it as "pointless". That's about the best verbalisation of the general feeling I got, although it's not exact. It was quite odd, in a good way.

OTOH, I did switch over to a higher-mg cart. Not exactly the result I'd have liked, but way better than sparking up.
