I prefer vaping over analogs. Last night I was hanging out with a friend who was smoking. When she lit her cig, I said, let me see that. I took one puff and seriously almost gagged. It was really NOT good for me!! WhoooHoooo!

A little while later said friend ordered an ecig :D I let her try mine and she wanted to buy one!

I should add that I was smoking 10-12 analogs per day and have been vaping for 16 days.

I definitely know what you're thinking.

Now, if my boss goes outside for a smoke break, I can smell her the second she steps in the door, and it's all I can do to keep from gagging.

I slowly smoked the remaining cigarettes I had in a pack I purchased before I got my 901, and, by the end of things, I could barely finish them.

Now that they're gone, I'm not at all tempted to buy more. I was kind of happy to finish the pack.

I concur. I must admit there are times when I desire an analog, mainly because of the "punch" that it gives but once I picked up ecigs I didn't look back. My stop smoking date is longer than my sig displays but I put that there because I had 2 atomizers call it quits simultaneously and I reverted to the easy fix. I must admit in non-smoking places I am hesitant to "wire up" but I still do. I am so grateful for these things. :)

After 30 years of smoking I havn't tried an analog since Jan 17. Main reason cause I don't have any. Thought it was funny a couple nights ago I was sitting at a red light with the window down and smelled somebody smoking in a car around me somewhere. I never noticed that happening before maybe because I was probably smoking too at the time.

Ya, I was the same way. Besides that one drag, how long was it since your last analog? For me, it has been 9 days and I am so glad to be off of them.


I had two on day one and two on day two, then a couple when I was out that weekend, so I guess it has been about 10 days besides the puff last night.

I agree about the smell. My friend came inside yesterday and she smelled horrible! I told her that she smelled and that's when she decided to order the super mini :)
 
I find that when I get that craving for a deep "punch" in the throat and chest... I just get some serious menthol (used to be puresmoker true menthol.. but I am alergic to PG) with a higher than usualy nic content and it kills the craving for the analog (or take one puff of an analog and that will kill it too lol! NASTY stuff!

I started on Menthols then quickly went to regular analogs, could not stand Menthols, several friends smoked them and I loathed "bumming" one off of them. I got the pure smoker sample pack with the menthol in there, I recently ordered a 10ml bottle of it. It is very good and not "harsh" IMO.

Lol.....We must'nt become too anti-smoking....we might end up smoking again ourselves if these get banned8-o


Nah, that'll never be me. I hated nonsmokers wen I was a smoker. Well, not all of them but many of them were a PITA. My Dad must quit smoking. He has too many health issues to continue. He was told years ago that if he didn't quit smoking, he would not see my 16th bday. I am almost 33 and he is still here. I want it to stay that way. He has tried every way possible to quit....Patches, gum, Chantix, wellbutrin, cold turkey and he always goes back. I really want him to try the e cig. He smokes menthol, so I got some menthol carts for him to try toight. I hope he tells me to order him one.

Had a similar thing happen to me. We had a string of serious car breakdowns so my funds dissapeared for awhile. I was on analogs for a week after being off for 4weeks. That first one was real bad, three puffs and it went out the window. That pack lasted just over two days then i done another two in three days. I can honestly say i didn't enjoy a single one and was craving a hit of riskee.

If anyone is having the urge for a "punch" of an analog i recommend getting some 36mg of your favorite juice and take afew drips off that.
I recently ordered some 36mg french pipe from PS with the intention of cutting down to 18mg. Well of course i had to try it at full strength. That stuff has a good kick to it :p

I expect he will want one...if he has tried everything else to give up then he should be very interested. Good luck.

I ordered my first ecig (NJOY NPRO) about 5 months ago, and i spent the first 2 weeks using it and analogs. I ordered the 901 from Puresmoker shortly after and loved it, but I just couldn't get over the urge to smoke analogs. So about a week later I ordered a penstyle and ecigar and have been off the analogs close to 5 months now!

I have tried a couple analogs since, and each and every time it makes me gag. I don't see myself going back.

I think the only time I crave an analog is whenever my ecigs are just not working like I want them too. With analogs, you light up and they just work. I think I miss the simplicity of the analog more than anything.

On the flipside, there's really something to be said about developing your very own style to smoking ecigs, and getting your device to work just so..

Congrats on the 5 months, Frubbish!!

I agree, the ease of an analog can't be beat.

Pete, I hope he will try it. He is a very simple man and speaking of ease, it will have to be easy for him. He doesn't have a lot of patience and I think that if a part breaks he will just give up. He is also a very hard headed man :) We'll see!
