Is quitting analogues meant to be this easy?

[New Year quitter]

I stopped smoking analogues on New Years eve, I thought that the e-cig would make life without real ciggies bearable, but Christ I never thought for a second that it would make it this easy. I literally haven't thought about analogues once.
Is it the same for any of you fellow quitters?

 

[peachette]

I would much rather vape! I never even think of analogs.

Enjoy your new hobby.

 

[halopunker]

It's one thing for another

Although, I wish I could remember how I ever started smoking...I think it was when I discovered alcohol when i was younger...

 

[Mufftrix]

Took me a few to days get past the first one of morning and after meals but then they started to taste awful! Once got through one day never bothered since even though wife smokes analogs! (she can stand outside in freezing cold porch haha!)

 

[RainbowznStarz]

Took me a few days too. It was the habits and routines associated with the analogs more than the analogs themselves.

I had about 5 analogs left when I started vaping just before xmas. Finished them off upto new year, 1 here and 1 there, usually when I had flat batteries. Didn't enjoy them.

It seems so easy as your getting your nic fix in exactly the same way your used to getting it. It's like having your cake and eating it. I never understood that one though because what is the point of having it and not eating it?

I'm trying to convert a work friend who is on around 40-60 per day! He claims he likes the taste of real cigs and £35 is too much for him to spend.

Ah well at least I tried.

still wanting analogs and wondering if I continue to do both will I come to the place where I will only want e-cigs? Some reason I vap and than I want a analogs. Its like vap makes me want a analog. Any help in this are suggestions?

 

[Keltrey]

I too stopped on New Year's Eve and have only wanted an analog once. I was really stressed and wasn't really thinking about it and then I did. I am enjoying the vapor much more than I ever did smoke.

 

[New Year quitter]

I'm in the process of converting my older brother.

For me the best thing about vapin' is that when I smoked analogues the first few cigs of the day were great but pretty soon you'd feel clogged up and smoking for the rest of the day was never enjoyable, vapin' on the other hand always feels fresh.

It took me a while to completely give them up, and I do still think about them from time to time but I usually find I need to top mine off or recharge the battery or something along those lines. The biggest trigger for making me have a cigarette craving is sucking away on my pen and not getting what I need from it. If I can pay attention well enough to avoid that, I'm in good shape.

Me too rejoice....me too.

Although I cut my consumption from almost 3 packs to under a pack, I can't seem to get past that....and I have no suggestions for you either

If vaping makes you want an analog, then my question is, what strength are you vaping? I felt like that once and I dropped a few 36 mg drops in and that killed it. Normally I vape 18 mg. Also, getting more power (thus more vape) like from a USB connection totally rocks and helps a ton with that cigarette craving.

 

[rejoice]

I Am using medium nicotine with my e cigarette. I think its 11mg. I try the high and get dizzy and feel high lol. First thing in the morning I want a cigarette. I will keep on vaping also.

 

[ZambucaLu]

Gabby,

I use 36mg all day, every day....and I use the usb ecig (both with a manual switch and without). Although it may feel satisfying while I'm doing it (like the other day when I was vapin' that heavenly butter rum....yummy!).....as soon as I stop, I feel like an analog.

Also, I don't have the liberty of keeping this "glued to my lips" 24/7 either. I can't do that in the office, or at meetings, or when I go out to peoples' homes (for my job).

Anyhoo....I think it is just something with me....but I persevere....and I don't lose hope. It still could happen some day!

Finally delurking

I only "think" I miss the analogs,but as I recall ,last one I had before new years was ucky,and I couldn't wait to get back to vapin.
My usb gives me a much better satisfaction (like an analog used to),no need to fiddle with dang finicky batts,or find the hole to cover for a decent toke.

I had no plans of quitting,it's just nicer to vape so the analogs became less and less within 2 days.

I reload with 11mg..thought that was low,but some refer to it as med..which is it?

Damn, i can't wait till i have a usb passthrough battery, it'll be nothing but supercharged throat hits from then on in.

 

[rejoice]

I have a USB ,but it won't work. E-mail Janty's about this and waiting for a reply. I have a Janty kissbox and I love it. I am waiting for my Screwdriver to arrive. I have ordered alot of e juice and can't find any so far that is better than my cigarettes. Cash cola comes in pretty close,but he only had real low in stock and that is what I got. Have spend so much money on e cigs,because all I ordered didn't work right- until the Janty. Finally something I can trust. I will keep on trying to only vap.

I stopped smoking analogues on New Years eve, I thought that the e-cig would make life without real ciggies bearable, but Christ I never thought for a second that it would make it this easy. I literally haven't thought about analogues once.
Is it the same for any of you fellow quitters?

These were my exact thoughts when I switched, however many days indicated by the ticker below ago. I've slipped a couple of times, once in the early days when i forgot to charge the batteries (I now have 8 on rotation ), and again when i was a bit too drunk and my 901 + spare batts and atomiser + bottle of minty menthol were doing the rounds at the works christmas night out, but otherwise it's been a dream.

I've wanted to quit smoking for a long, long time. WHen I've quit in the past, it's always been alcohol that has made me start again. Like someone else said, I discovered tobacco shortly after I learned to enjoy beer, and I found that nicotine and alcohol really do complement eachother, so they've always gone hand in hand.

I figured that if I wanted to stop smoking for good, I'd have to give up the beer too. Now, I'm not by any means a heavy drinker, but the thought of not being able to enjoy a refreshing, relaxing pint after a difficult week at work was utterly, completely depressing.

Then I found e-smokes (via a link on the BBC News website in October 08), and after a little procrastination and research, I took the plunge and all my prayers were answered in a little box that popped through the letterbox. I don't miss the analogues in the slightest.

F**k cake. Now I can have my beer and smoke it Ah, you know what I mean.

Yup, it _can_ be that easy! Was for me, too...after 38 years of smoking.

Oh, the taste (and smell) is SO much nicer!!

Heh. That's gotta be my favorite line so far from this forum.
