took me some time to get my routine down. ecig passed my driving test, drinking test, after sex test, after a meal test, but the hardest one was the stress test, my first week i bought a pack of analogs cause i got really ...... so what i do now is i have a small bottle of 24mg juice (i use 18 normally) and i have 1 filled carto with the 24 i carry with me just for those stressful occasions and its workin just fine. and after a month now when i eat a good meal its very satisfying like a cig used to be to top off my carto and vape some fresh juice.

when i first started and i had my first cheap crappy e cig was it was no, cause what happened was it worked when it wanted too( i e when nothing was wrong) but would always crap out right when someone called on the phone and ...... me off and when i would go to grab it in my time of true need it would be cloggy burnt tasting assy mc gee and i could never order replacement attys cause they were always out of stock on the site i ordered it from , but since i got my V king she's been a real trooper the only times it doesn't cut it with me is when my tongue starts getting used to the taste of what im vaping and i just simply switch flavors , also when i vape in the car i leave my windows up and as long as the car is cool enough i cut the AC so that the vapor doesn't dissipate instantly and lingers a bit so that it tricks my sub conscious into thinking damn thats a nice exhale and with my trusty menthol juice it works seeing as how i smoked menthol (taste +Lingering cloud= real enough for me), but were i screwed up a bit i ordered a small 5ml bottle of menthol juice (trying to get away from the tobacco taste) instead of a 30 ml like i should have so when i want that taste i have to that taste and usually the fruity flavors are hard to crush that urge of I want menthol XD so my word to the wise is to always buy ur brands flavoring or closet thing to your brands flavoring cause of that distinct taste ur body will call for out of the blue one day how ever though my running out of menthol i still have yet to light an analog i just vape alot of vanilla cause it has the most kick next to my menthol like it never really loses its throat hit with me unlike coconut or pomegranate eventually but thats just me my two major smoking factors was the taste before i screwed my taste up in the end i couldn't even taste the mint in my menthols and the clouds of smoke i exhaled every one is diff though

but hands down(lighters in trashcan) nothin beats sitting at my comp with my PT after work with my fave anime streaming a good meal and assorted cartos to make the night magical however i''ve only been vaping a month but it feels like a million miles since my last cig and i can tell ya what makes it all satisfactory i don't miss my cough fits one damn bit and that makes it all more satisfying than an analog ever could be :vapor:

everyone vape on & vape strong

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.

I used a higher nic for those times , sometimes still do . It helped a lot.

I'm down about half of what I smoked, so in my opinion you're doing great.

1. As soon as you wake up smoke: I ordered some Bacon and French Toast liquid; it should be here tomorrow. After reading some of these posts, I probably should have got some coffee flavored juice.

2. After a good meal smoke: I should also be getting my Pizza flavored juice. Heck, I might just skip the good meal.

3. When I'm horribly stressed out: That hasn't happened yet. Not sure how to handle that one.
 
I switched and I enjoy my e cigs more then regular cigarettes. I wasn't a heavy smoker but for me I enjoy my e cig in the morning more than when I smoked regular cigs. I never really went through withdraw although I do remember having a sore throat for a while when I switched.

I've been trying to get my mother to switch and she has smoked for probably 45 years now. I never really thought about the withdraw issue for her but will mention it to her. Of course I still haven't convinced her to make the switch yet. :vapor:

Into 6 months, so use to vaping, I doubt I would enjoy a regular cigarette. Doubt it saved money, since I have different PVs and lots of juice, and among those PVs I have the new Mega Tornado, WOW, now this thing delivers the vapes. It holds 2.5 ml, battery life ...great, like all Tornados..........long and short, ......glad I switched.
 
Not even close...theres nothing like that first cigarette in the morning. But i fire up the ecig instead and its OK, not great. I think the 2 i miss the most is the very first one in the morning, and the first one after supper. I get by with the ecig, but its not anywhere close to being close to the same satisfaction.

For me it depends on the day. I still have a couple of analogs most days, sometimes as many as 6 or 8 and on those days, I'd say no, it's not as satisfying. But most days I have one analog in the morning and one after supper and that's it. Quite often on the 2 or 3 days, I may only have a couple three puffs and put it out. On those days, the e-cig is much more satisfying to me.

Other than the first one in the morning I don't really have cravings very often and for those times I keep one PV loaded with a tobacco flavor at 18 or 25mg and that will usually get me past it. The rest of the time I vape 5 to 6mg juice.

Vaping is much more fulfilling to me. I am actually pleasantly surprised - I didn't think I would ever like any flavors - I smoked Marlboro Lights and that is exactly what I thought I wanted.

I was astounded when I tried a Dr. Pepper flavor that one of my coworkers had. I don't even care for many tobacco flavors anymore. And my "go-to" is now Cherry Cola. :) Analogs don't do it for me anymore - I've had 2 since I started vaping exactly a week ago. I find it to be much more pleasurable when its CHERRY COLA. :)

It's close enough that I don't really miss cigarettes at all.
But no, it's not quite as satisfying to me.

This is my feeling too. Analogs provide an instant rush. It's instant drug gratification. Ecigs are a little slower and don't have all of those other "fun" chemicals like carbon monoxide that help give you that rush.

I don't really miss them. I don't like analogs right now. I don't even like the smell of them but if I were smoke 5 cigarettes today I'm sure I'd like them again tomorrow. It's all part of the addiction thing.

Vaping tastes better and for me, it's just an all around more pleasant experience - minus the rush.
 
bassnut summed up my feelings. With vaping I don`t get the rush, I`ve gotten used to it though. IMO that`s why in the beginning that morning analog was the one I craved, because my system was low on nicotine, and I needed to re up it fast. I can`t do that with the ecig, and that is why I buy into the low absorption rates. I don`t think even chain vaping 24mg that I`m getting near the nicotine that I did smoking 2 PAD. But that would be another bonus, I`ve cut down my nic intake, and still am happy. :2c:
