I went without cigarettes for over 5 month now i slipped

[watadork]

I have been really happy with my e-cigarettes but since i ran out of e-liquid for almost a week I regretfully smoked a couple cigarettes. I have since threw them out cursing at my stupidity. Now that I received my liquid, 3 of my vaporizers burnt out (all of which are original purchases) so all I am left with is an old 510 that is on its last leg . Luckily my family ordered me an eGo for my birthday which was ordered this morning. I should be fine until monday when it will be arriving. I will have to space out my intake until that day comes. It seems stuff goes bad when I go into a bi-polar lapse, which always makes me want cigarettes (the e-cig calms those, but alas all but one vaporizer is working and I got 9mg liquid which is not enough for those type of cravings). Even now I am fighting off the urge to smoke cigarettes until the eGo comes. Words pf encouragement would be greatly appreciated

Keep being strong, and you will be successful! We have all had those times were it seems like we can't make it, but if you tell yourself you can do it then you will. The new eGo should help, and when you get a chance stock up on atomizers, cartomizers or whatever you like and plenty of e-liquid so that you don't run out, as this will make it much easier. Keep an eye out for sales, as many vendors regularly have great sales, and then stock up with essentials. Being prepared is best the weapon you have for fighting the dreaded nic-fit!

Good Luck

Even if you do slip, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. Just think of how many years you smoked. If you have to go back to analogs for a bit to quell anxiety, so be it. When you get your supplies, just toss the cigs and dust yourself off. No harm, no foul.

Might want to check this out and see if you can bring one of two of those atomizers back to life again...

Like Firefox said, don't beat yourself up. I understand it's hard not to..... I've done the same thing. I'll get down (who knows why -- chemicals in the brain?) and smoke a .... and then afterward ask myself "why did I do that?". Then I am mad at myself. When you go into the depression stage of bi-polar, it's like you want to "punish" yourself and it's hard to break out of that. But, as others also said, be strong..... there is lots of support here and all you have to do is make a post like you did and that in itself is a huge step..... it shows that you DO want to help yourself. The folks here will all be behind you gently pushing you in the right direction.
Stay strong and soon you will have a fine PV kit to keep you going. Make sure to take good care of the equipment and also make sure when you can to buy extra parts and juice so you don't set yourself up for another "relapse". We all have our moments, and you just had one. But you also spoke up and that is so important. Verbalizing your situation is cathartic. I've found since I started vaping that my moods have settled down.... my moods are no longer like a sine wave on the display on an oscilloscope. They are flatter now and I think you will find the same thing will happen to you. Good luck to you and always make a post if you feel that you are starting to slip..... catch it in the bud so to speak......

I smoke an occasional analog but have no problems putting them down once the reason is resolved (usually dead batteries). I've bought one pack of analogs in 7 months, so you can see it isn't often.

I don't use batteries often - use a pass-thru with either an AC adapter or car/usb adapter so I don't often think of having charged batteries. I have noticed that I can go a lot longer without any cigarettes than I ever could with analogs.

From my experience, an occasional slip doesn't mean failure and just think of how much your lungs appreciate all the analogs they are skipping.

I say, enjoy those analogs till your eGo comes in.

Please update when you are able. I agree that you should not beat ypourself up over having a few cigs. Hopefully you have that Ego now and are doing well. If you hit a bumpy spot again, please post when it happens lots of people here including myself often come together and help folks when they are in need of help. I know that I would have sent you some higher nic juice to get you through.
I hope that things are going well with your Ego and hope to hear from you soon.
