Just how satisfying is vaping?

Well- it took me a bit of trial and error- but yes.
The key for me was throat hit. So after a meal, or first thing in the morning, I only vape 100% pg juice. Works great.
I wake to 18mg juice, and move down to 10mg as the day progresses.
But yes... I've been tobacco free for 15 days. And rarely if ever have a true longing for an analog.
But others may tell another story. I wouldn't presume to have all the answers.

Now that i have my LR atties. totally so. But before i used to not vape until i was in the car on the way to work.
Yeah I have to say it is, I get much pleasure from my vaping - very rarely my brain tells me I 'want' a cig, so I try one, then regret it 3 puffs later cos it tastes so dry and..like sucking an exhaust pipe is the closest 'flavor' it seems to have.EVen has that 'gasoline' taste to it for some reason lol.
What?
What's the question?
Actually I tried an analog the other night after not smoking for 3 months.
It was a Marlboro Light (my old brand) and found it had less throat hit than what I'm used to when vaping and tasted like burning leaves and bus exhaust. Three hits and I tossed it.
I vaped a lot in the beginning. If I got an urge to smoke I vaped until it passed. 24mg at first. I bought extra batteries and juice as soon as I figured out what I'd need by vaping this way.
I still vape a lot but now only 12mg. Occasionally 18mg or 24mg just be cause I still have it.
Lungs are now much clearer and smoker's cough is gone.

i wouldn't say that e-cigs are as satisfying as smoking a cigarette. even at a higher voltage with high nic juice the throat hit and the lung kick aren't really comparable to cigarettes...for me at least. but e-cigs are the best substitution i've used for smoking.
Yep, it is for me. I actually get more TH from vaping than I did from analogues (I was a menthol smoker).
Also, being able to vape at the table is much better than going outside!!!

You're probably still addicted to analogs. Give it some time. There's other stuff in analogs that you might be addicted to besides nicotine. I know I was.
Sums up what I experienced quite nicely when switching over from smoking analogs to vaping. I smoked menthols and did not notice a difference in vaping, especially when dripping with certain juices I have. The bottle of Menthol Ice I have has a great "kickstart" throat hit that I enjoyed in the morning with coffee and after a meal. I also like to use 1 drop of it while dripping to enhance the TH or clear the flavor palette of other flavored juices I have.
Im at a 4th of what I normally smoked for analogs, and I have to say I still cant quite kick the following.
1. As soon as you wake up smoke
2. After a good meal smoke
3. When I am horribly stressed out
I have also noticed after using my e-cig the throat hit on analogs isnt there anymore for me, and I smoked Marlb red.

Vaping is process of evolution, a journey if you will, and the answer to your question depends on where you are on your journey.
In the beginning, hell no! That's why the majority (imo) taper off along the journey.
Right now for me, after a little over 2 months, I enjoy it so much more...so the answer to your question is absolutely!
After meals yes, I've gotten over wanting an analog after meals 99% of the time..
After/during morning coffee, nope vaping still isn't as satisfying for me but I think it is because I wake up kinda grumpy and vaping doesn't give me the nicotine fast enough perhaps.. When I use to attempt to quit smoking way back when, this time of day was always my downfall and since vaping this is when I still want an analog and still smoke one or two on 'occasions' aka that grumpier time of the month lol.. I see no problem nor feel quilty about doing so though since I didn't start vaping to quit smoking persay in the first place..

The mantra around here is "It doesn't matter how many analogs you smoke, it's how many you avoid".
No guilt. This is a different game. Try upping the nicotine level in your e-liquid and/or vape more if it matters to you. Check your gear. Make sure it's working up to expectation. Any difficulties or disappointments -ask for advice or do your own research here at ECF.
Not sure that I can even compare the two. I will say that I don't absolutely got to have one after a meal or when I first get up, now, but when I do it's pretty awesome to pick a flavor that simply goes with what ever coffee I'm having or to compliment the meal I just ate.
