It took me three things to give up smoking.
1. Finding a mod and tank that provided enough vapor for me. I never liked the weak vape of the cigalikes.
2. Finding the right strength of nicotine. Once you're fully off the cigarettes you can slowly cut back on the nicotine level, but it has to be high enough to stop the cravings to start with. For me, I craved cigarettes at anything lower than 24mg when I first started. Now I vape 2mg juices. Very nearly nicotine free and because I did it in slow, gradual steps I never had any cravings.
3. For me the biggest factor in making the switch and quitting cigarettes entirely was to stop using tobacco flavored juices entirely. Once I got away from the tobacco and found alternative flavors that I really liked it was easy to quit because the tobacco quickly started tasting nasty.
And I didn't just up and quit in a single day. I went months of doing both vaping and smoking when I was using tobacco flavored juices. Once I stopped using those and switched to candy flavor (mints especially) I simply smoked less and less and vaped more and more. I reached the point where I would light a cigarette, take 3-4 puffs, and put it back out because I preferred the taste of my ecig more. When I did quit I still walked around with a half pack of cigarettes for a month before I finally tossed them. It was never a "Today I quit" moment for me, it was more of a "you know what? I haven't had a cigarette in 2 days" without even planning on it.
