I smoked last night

[Neesher]

I didn't "cave", Ive had hardly any cravings, but after a month or so ( I've stopped counting the days now) I was curious. I was looking forward to it tasting bloody awful.

Well it didn't! It tasted alright. Not great, but not awful and it made me realise 2 things: I could buy a pack of 20 tomorrow and smoke them as if I'd never stopped. But that I do prefer vaping.

So curiosity has been satisfied and it's good to know I'm not missing out on anything spectacular. So there's no need to do that again

reset your counter

But hey...think of all the stinkys you didn't burn

 

[bhswmc01]

No way - don't reset the counter!

I've taken a drag or two since quitting - tasted bad, but not repulsive. What I don't like is the taste that lingers long after!

 

[WillyZee]

no big deal Neesher ... you now know they are not for you.

 

[Truetopath]

Happens to the best of em, I'm glad you like vaping more!

It's all good.... A valuable lesson learned.

I have had 2 cigarettes but don't consider it a failure. It wasn't awful for me either but at least I know I have to stay away from them. I wish I was one of the people that hated it after vaping but I am not.

Many folks try smoking again after vaping to see how it is. For many, the taste is much worse than they remembered and won't ever go back, for a few, it's more like your experience.

No reason to reset your counter either ...

Agreed, it's not a "oh heck I slipped, I should just go back to the stinkies" failure...not by a long shot

I knew I would never go back when I sat in my buddies truck vaping while he smoked...the scent of the analog called to me...but my stomach was doing cartwheels...a few days later...my buddy is rocking a 1300mAh ego with a protank II mini

I knew I was completely off the stinkies when I went to a bar with my long time friend and fellow Marine and while he went thru almost 2 packs of camels...I vaped about 3/4 of my protank II and never even considered bumming one from him (I was so worried something would go wrong I brought a backup for my backup MVP2 and my Vamo hehe )

I've only been vaping a little over a month and about a week after completely quitting analogs I tried one and absolutely hated it. Couldn't stand the taste or smell (actually made me nauseous) and it really burned my throat. So glad I switched!!

 

[Rocketpunk]

Yeah, I completely understand, OP.

A while ago we were outside (back when it was warm) and having a few beers. My vape gear was two stories upstairs, so I bummed a smoke. I smoked about half of it and rubbed it out. It was just 100% unpleasant.

 

[bruiser]

OMG OMG Neesher, now you're gonna die! LOL

 

[Silent Scream]

I agree with the replies here it's no big deal and I can understand why the OP was curious but I would feel weird with a banner 'smoke free for x days' when really, I wasn't.

I'm a completist though so possible unnecessary OCD kicking in here.

...I smoked about half of it and rubbed it out. It was just 100% unpleasant.

I have also tried smoking one or two along the way as a test. Each and everytime, the first drag was nice but went downhill fast after that. How in the world did I do THAT for so many years?

 

[Recycled Roadkill]

A friend that has been vaping exclusively for a week or two came to visit me in my shop decided he'd light one up from the pack I'd abandoned 2 1/2 months ago. The cigarette stank, he stank up my whole shop and then put it out before taking a third puff.

I kinda felt like I'd smoked but I have no guilt.

Sheesh, I'm turning into "one of them."

 

[Slobalt7]

I had one earlier today, lasted through the whole thing but was choking from the second hand I was giving myself(in a car).

 

[Dac311]

I usually have one if I go out to a bar. It's just one of those things, I don't do it other than that. But one while at the bar is much better than the entire pack I used to smoke on a night out.
