"I like the taste but I wasnt satisfied" this was in my mind when I tried to take a drag from a friends vape. After a year my GF handed me one as a gift. So I tried, was thinking that I guess its time to change my lifestyle. I tried not smoking analogs for 24 hours. IT WAS PAINFULY HARD (Im a smoker for 10 years 20-30 sticks a day, depends on the stress). But I succeeded, so... The next day I tried 1 stick. I can still feel that I am not ready to give up analogs. So I tried like crazy not smoking for 1 week. 24 hours is already painful, wait till you try setting a goal for 1 week. I was about to get miserable on day 1, on my second day I literally tied the ECIG to my hand. Left my lighter and analogs at home, stayed away from friends when its smoking time, did not talk to my GF(shes a smoker) almost about to point a gun on my head to end this suffering. Day 3, woke up ECIG tied to my hand. Poured 3 drops and started vaping. Day 4-7 stayed away from friends, boss and co-workers. Day 8 finally.... Tried 1 stick, I went like.... OMFG! what is that effin taste! yuuuuuckkkk! Then I told myself I think I hate smoking analogs now. BTW its my first month vaping. I have to go out and meet, taste, and try other juices. My GF tells me I smell good. I dont see anybody covering their nose when I pass by. I am now Analog free!!! Thanks to vaping! more power guys!

well, up to this point I am still not satisfied with vaping. There is still something missing when I vape. Do you guys have the same feeling when you are vaping? If you guys have answers about this please post it. I will try everything just to stay away from analogs. I still feel the urge of dragging analogs but it isnt that strong anymore. I might go back to analogs if given the right push. Which ofcourse I do not want that to happen. :)

I know this feeling all too well, I myself almost gave up vaping on a Blu...what I was looking for wasn't there. Ended up with a Joyetech Vision tank type E-Cig. I left analogs that day without looking back.
I've since stepped up to a mechanical IHybrid now a days, I vape for taste only and truthfully enjoy it.
Just don't give up, it can be hard at times but persistance pays off in the long run.

I Would also like to know what flavor and Mg of nicotine you are using as I found this made a big difference me. I went down the exact path as BlkWolfMidnight Blu and hust last week bought a Titan Tank, this week added a spinner and a vivi nova The desire and urge for analogs is gone, and now they stink to me.

We all get there however we get there. I was smoking 2+PAD in September when my 1st set of knock-off eGo's with cheap clearomizers came in. I knew it could work, but needed something more consistent. I quickly ordered a Joytech 510 system from Kingpen and that was much better! But not enough.. Got in my eGo-C's (real ones) and OMG!.. All of this in a month as I slowly reduced the tobacco to nothing! Now using the eGo batteries with carto's and tanks as well as having 2 eGo-T Upgrade battery systems and now, waiting on my VAMO and DID tanks. I don't want to smoke although I did enjoy it! I enjoy Vaping much more!!!
Find the system(s) that work for you and the level of nic you need to keep you at it!

Congrats dyames... unlike you going cold-turkey initially before the switch, I dived right in and gave em up when they arrived in the mail. I flushed the few that were left and that was the end for me. I am curious to try analogs, not because I crave them, just to see if my taste for them has changed, like you did. I won't even think about trying that anytime soon though, I won't leave anything to chance. Hopefully, in a year or so I won't want to try them at all.

Did you gradually reduce the nicotine or started at 0?

My switchover was very different. I should note that quitting smokes wasn't my original goal. I'd tried friends PV at a club in LA. Upon return to my state I figured I'd order one because I could use it in places I couldnt smoke (airport, work, bars, etc). I usually do a lot of research before I start something and I stumbled across this board and eventually Grimm greenes reviews and pbusardo as well. I ended up getting a higher end Pv vs a traditional cig looking eci...more power does equal better chance of adapting to it. First day I got it and charged it I fired up the juice it was shipped with (cotton candy) ...it wasn't half bad but I quickly grew sick of how sweet it was. Luckily I'd ordered several juices, mostly fruity/dessert juices and they arrived later in the afternoon. Before I knew it I had gone 4 hours without a smoke...Then a day...then a week...and so on. The Pv gave my lungs the feeling of an inhale so I didn't miss my analog feel and the sweet fruity flavors I dug. I vape 18mg 70pg30vg now and have bought a few 12mg ill switch to next month. I was a 1-1.5 (sometimes 2-3 packs if I was on a black jack table :) ) per day smoker and started when I was 11...I'm 41 now. I never had so much of a thought of missing analogs. I dunno...was just a very very easy transition for me. Took me a bit to get over how large my pv was compared to a normal ecig, and my friends made a bit of fun of me...but you know I don't really care anymore. I feel much better, I don't smell, and I've saved (or will if I ever stop buying vapor toys) money over traditional cigs. Best of all though I don't have to freeze my azz of in the cold michigan winters to smoke (at work or bars).

Im really new to this...only 3 weeks...but I couldn't ever see myself going back to smoking...that is unless my Pv broke. I ordered a backup device to cover that base. :). I dont have a lot of experience but it seems new vapers fail most when they buy a crappy or low powered unit. Just my observation so far. If you make good money buy a high end unit...if you don't try and get by with the best you can afford and maybe start saving what you'd spend on normal cigs for a higher end unit. (I drank the koolaid and bought a provari)

keep at it...it'll grow on you I guarantee. Vape a high nic liquid might help.
