Kicking the habit

[Bearski12]

Gaming and smoking cigs go hand in hand. Like milk and cookies. Haha, I hear you my friend. This could be a tip that you know well but it was critical for me. The technique in vaping is something I only learned after joining this forum. Treating your ecig like an analog will lead to frustration and I know when I'm distracted (gaming) I do just that. Focus on mouth and even nasal contact when exhaling. Old habits die hard, but die nonetheless. Good luck!

Grats on your efforts! I actually wasn't even trying to quit, but picked up my newby blu starter pack from Walgreens and next thing I knew....6 hours had gone by and I hadn't once thought about a cig. I think the more time you spend on forums, and the more time you spending internet window shopping, the easier it will get. I always said the hardest thing about quitting analogs was finding something to replace the habitual void in your daily routine. vaping handles that better than anything else I've tried so far. Keep at it!

Way to to go Maximilius!
Here's how it happened to me and the way I handled the analog craving. I started vaping along with smoking 2/27/12. I was a 2.5 pad smoker of Marlboro Red 100's. My smoking immiediately dropped 90%. I was smoking 10 or less analogs a day along with vaping. This went on for about a month. At that point I reasoned if I continued on vaping and smoking, the rest of my life, I was so far ahead of the curve vs. smoking only, it was worth it.
One day I woke up and thought, "I want the flavor of vaping more than I want the feeling of smoking. I'm going to try to only vape today." It was a pretty rough day when driving home from work my 510 battery died! When I got home I dripped some 36mg tobacco flavored e-liquid directly on my 510 atty. It was very close to smoking an analog in regard to how long it lasted, the fullness of vapor, and delivery of nic.
Direct dripping strong tobacco e-liquid really helped (helps?) me if I get that mean old analog demon raises his head.
You've already taken tremendous strides in reducing your analog use. Don't beat yourself up! If you just continue doing what you're doing right now (and I predict your desire to go without analogs will one day reach fruition) think of all the money you have already saved not to mention the benefits to your health.

Way to go!
