In need of tips to help quit smoking for good

That "rush", as you call it, is from carbon monoxide and not from nicotine. You won't get that with an ecig sorry to say. vape whenever you need too. Keep a bottle of a little higher mg within reach for cravings. If someone else's smoking makes you crave one, I can only suggest to try to avoid them until you got your body under control and won't have the temptation.

Don't beat yourself up. Smoking less than you were is a victory. I smoked the first few weeks, and actually would smoke right now if I wanted to. I'm an adult, I can make the decision to smoke or not to smoke. The key is finding a combination of juice and equipment that you PREFER to a cigarette. Just keep vaping, keep trying different options, and eventually you WILL find something that's better than a cigarette tastes and makes you feel. Concentrate on the positives and don't beat yourself up if you smoke a few. Most of us have been there.

the main thing is you have come here and that means you want to stop the stinkies
this in itself is a major step foward in your quest big big big gratz on that
i guess i was one of the lucky ones got my kit and stopped dead ive said before the problem i had was cravings that could not be stated i wanted a ciggy but after 3 days i really really could not stand the smell of them to the point of allmost gagging ???
i dont know why this happened but left me with a craving that i couldnt fill was a rough few days but with the help of the e-cigs and this forum you muddle through and now i dont think about ciggys (or very little every now and then i think i want one and reach for my PV)
make sure you set up before hand and get motivated before you stop get backups for your backups
suggest you do it as your last pack is about to run out so when you stop it means you will have to make a deliberate shopping trip to get another pack
if you slip once in a while thats fine you have allready cut back and thats a start your mind set is allready starting to accept vaping as a subsitute

just pat yourself on the back every stinky you dont have even if you have a whoopsie think that one ciggy used to be hundreds

you can do it it takes little steps

enjoy your new world i love vaping now shame it took me so long to find this site

Hang in there I am still fighting the analogs. I did go 8 hours yesterday without one though and that was a huge step for me. Longest stretch without one so far. I know I can do this I just need to keep praying and keep trying.

+1 for increased nic level to fight cravings, i started at 24mg
now im down to 18
i vape all the time, i dont restrict my vaping to "breaks" altho i do try to vape at my door or outside when im home(newborn in the house)
maintaining a constant lvl of nicotine in ur bloodstream helps when ur facing someone smoking in front of you, and you may just need to distance yourself initially

To get over cigarettes I had to drip. No other way I found gave me the satisfaction of dripping. And I credit bobas bounty liquid. Dripping this stuff has completely eliminated my desire to smoke.
