Hi,
I'm on my second week of vaping and still have analogs intermittently. Funny thing is that in the first week i felt like "gotta have a smoke". Now when I have an analog I feel like "vaping would have been better". I find myself more often craving a vape rather than an analog. The sensation, taste, smell is much better and the nic buzz is great! I knew from my first vape that we were on to somthing with e-cigs. Cool how they make you want to naturally convert.
It really is amazing! I didn't plan to quit smoking, I just figured I would try e-cigs for the heck of it. While many it seems quit regular cigs immediatly when they start vaping, I think some of us take a bit longer to be completely smoke free. Over night I went from 30ish to 5 without any plan (or desire) to quit. I decided then and there that I was done with the smokes. It was too much for me to go to zero (I was losing my mind) so I decided to ween off 1 more each week(unless my mood and brain stabilize sooner) I think the behavior is so ingrained in some of us that there is still that subconscious part of us that says "cig=pleasure" "smoke=everything will be ok", Even completely ingrained behavior like this can change. Everytime I smoke a regular cig now, all I think is "I really don't even like this" and "my PV tastes much better". While last week, I was using my PV and unconsciously picking up a cig and a lighter, now when smoke I unconsciously reach for my PV.
It is miraculous to me but I am SO done with smoking!
Best of luck to you! It sounds to me like you are just about there! Enjoy the "Transition"!
True. Perfect for someone like me... I went into this whole thing with a total attitude of defiance. I was like, "oh really? Prove it!!" because nothing ever made me able to quit before (well, I could quit, I just couldn't stay quit). I finally realized that it's because I really don't want to quit.
Perfect thing about e-cigs: no quitting involved!
Ha Ha, so true! I never even tried to quit smoking, because dammit I really liked it and didn't want to! In more recent years, I have such a bad attitude that I would be damned if I would let anyone force me to quit smoking! lol; I tried the e-cig figuring it was probably a joke but maybe it would help me get by when I didn't want to "stink' or douse myself in aftershave. I knew right away, e-cigs are no joke, they are definitely the real deal.
Although, I am still in my "transition" phase(I don't feel like I am quitting either), I feel lucky to have found e-cigs and to have found this community of wonderful people!
