Is vaping all you need?

[Belletrist]

And yes, its odd how terribly embarassed people are for still having analogs. Of course it is nice to be without them, but where if not here do people understand quite so well that it's not exactly easy to stop using those? I myself never even tried to stop them altoghether, although I did make a few attempts to reduce.

i agree. i try to stress, when a friend tries out vaping, that i don't even think they SHOULD try to 'quit' smoking, they should just try vaping.

i voted that i have quit tobacco but still occasionally crave. i think i'm one of the lucky ones who hasn't experienced a need for the 'something else', simply because my times of craving have been during times of intense, acute stress. probably purely psychological, and when i vaped instead of smoking at those times the craving did diminish. i'm hoping that over time i'll associate vaping with stress relief to the point that even those extreme circumstances won't make me want a cig. but if not, i don't really mind having one cigarette every few months. compared to a pack and a half a day? i consider that success.

I have given up smoking and I am not missing it at all. I have been an occassional snuff user for years and have never really intended to quit using it. I thought I would start using it more to compensate but if anything I use it a little less often. I have always enjoyed snuff but it's usually just a party thing with me, when I need a little late night pick me up while drinking. Call it an eye opener.

I have been off smokes since oct 2 2009. for the first month, I had cravings but I somehow fought through it and haven't looked back!!!
YEAH ME!!!

 

[mistinthewoods]

it's only been a little over a week since I switched to steam and I haven't looked back. I like vaping so much better and I started smoking when I was twelve (I'm 52 now). I'm amazed to see these poll results. They should be saved for evidence of e-cig effectiveness.

I have been vaping for about 1 month. Last week I combined 2 diff e-cigs to make 1 reliable e-cig. I have been smoke free for one week and cant stand to smell an analog. I think the cravings are already gone totaly, I might give up on vaping now also. Smoked for 30 years.

I will take about 2-4 puffs off of an analog right before passing out when I'm drunk

I smoked and vaped at the same time till the number of analogs I smoked went from a pack a day to one a day. When I used up my last pack of analogs at how I swore to myself that I would never buy another and I have not.

I have not smoked for about 5 month now, but sometimes still felt that I was missing something in taste now and then. That is until I got my juice box! Wow, talk about flavorful! So now everytime I get that feeling I will just grab my juice box and cure the urge.

Everybody still doin' ok???

 

[JoeMcPlumber]

Fine thanks!

And i've pretty much cut out my nicotine. Don't want to quit entirely right now but i don't think i need it anymore.

Tomorrow will be 1 week, so I dont think I can answer yet. I stopped in January while vaping, but started smoking again for a few weeks after I gave away my first ecig.

As others here have said, Im not going to forbid myself from having an analog, but so far I havent wanted one.

 

[LudaCura]

2 weeks and haven't craved an analog since my first vape. Looking forward to my month anniversary, year anniversay, decade anniversary....

I have been vaping for almost 8 mos. now and am doing well with only. However, I must still crave them every once in a while b/c just two days b4 my 6 mo. smoke-free (never even cheated once) sub-goal, I had a family tragedy and bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked the whole pack over a 4-day period. I don't think I'll ever do that again, as the flame ......ant they now put in cigs really destroyed the tobacco flavor.

 

[Kevin Freeheart]

I stopped smoking analogs finally after almost a year of mixing vapes with smokes.

I find that I get different things from each. Analogs calm me when I am stressed while vapes do not. Or, not as effectively.

I also do not get the social smoke feeling when drinking with friends if I'm vaping, and I like that feeling.

I never picked up my PV as a means to quit smoking but it has greatly reduced my smoking, mainly because I like it more. I'm convinced I get more nicotine vaping (I chain vape 36/mg) than I do from smoking. For putzing around on the computer or reading a book, I prefer to vape.

So... I don't exactly consider them to be replacements for each other. Different things entirely, each with it's own benefits.

 

[nansc]

If I get stressed I crave one.Just a longtime bad habit.

 

[otrpu]

No tobacco, nor thinking about it for the past > 10 months. What did it for me was a "Big Batt" VV mod, and 5 mL tanks. Nuff batt and eLiquid to last the workday/to/from. JMHO

Cheers,

[Patrick21]

still crave cigs every now and then such as when im drinking alcohol

 

[Carlyawesome]

With my first kit I did both, I would smoke and use my egig when I was inside. When my new kit came I fell so completely madly in love with it that I've quit analogs completely. I still have cravings, but I'm only a few days in and I've really only had that urge a couple of times, but my pv fixes that problem lickety split.

 

[slr817]

I was a 2 pad smoker...I had one or two cigarettes after I got my kit, but right off the bat I found some juice I love and it's now been 2 going on 3 years without a cigarette....my husband is having a harder time totally giving up the analogs.

All I need is a charged battery and a full protank 2, and I'm good

Stopped smoking completely and now find the smell repulsive. A fresh lit smoke still smells good but does not trigger any cravings. I hang out with my smoking buddies all the time, for what it's worth, and don't feel the slightest urge or craving. Over a year smoke free.
