I had two analogs left in a pack after a solid month of vaping only. They got stale so I tossed them. I ended up miscalculating shipping time on some urgently needed juice, so I bought another pack of Camel Lights just in case. They sat around for days unopened because my backup juice stash seemed to last. I ended up opening the pack for my wife because she was running out of analogs one weekend and didn't feel like running (the .5 mile) to the store for more.
My little signature thingy says that today I have been vaping for 70 days. i guess it was at about 60 days or so that I decided to try an analog from that open pack again, just to see what it was like. The coolest part was that I went into it with absolutely no fear that I would pick them up again. I smoked that Camel about 1/2 way down and quickly noticed that I didn't like the flavor anymore, it left a nasty taste in my mouth, and didn't bring near the same satisfaction I got from them for 22 years. I could even feel the tar coating my lungs and it didn't feel good. I put it out and still have 17 cigs left in the pack (20 minus the one I smoked and the two my wife smoked). I haven't even wanted one since then, and crave only what my 510 gives me. I didn't know whether I would be able to completely quit analogs, but it literally happened in about one day after I started vaping. I had tried so many other methods in the past, and I still laugh every time I see one of those Chantix commercials that has a solid minute of warnings about suicidal thoughts, f'd up dreams, and every other negative side effect they can produce. Major side effects experienced from the 510: increased smiling, fatter wallet, greater interest in a whole new subculture. None of these have (yet) been proven as carcinogenic so far although I hear smiling causes laugh lines, a fatter wallet may cause greater wear in the pocket of my pants, and involvement in the subculture may improve reading skills by keeping me on this forum for hours and hours. I'll take my chances!
