For me the first couple months I had a few cravings. A lot of this was because I hadn't found a juice that I really liked. When I did I would just smoke a cig and then go right back to vaping. It really didn't make me want to go back to smoking at all, just kind of smoothed the edge. I found the longer I vaped the worse a real cig tasted. Every so often I would try one just to see. At about 4 mos, I bummed one and lit up. It was just horrible. Never had the urge after that.

2 hrs after I began vaping I tried an analog and HATED it. Started at 36 mg and now vaping 2 mg. Can now go hours without a vape if I'm busy with something and I find I don't get the same "wild- drive- me-up-a-wall" cravings that I would get when I was smoking analogs. It will get better just remember to drink lottsa water.
Best of Luck.

I'm 10 days in and have smoked 6 analogs up to this point. I was a pack a day smoker. I don't crave them anymore. Even when I find myself going and smoking one, it's not a craving for me. Kind of a curiosity thing. "Hmmm I wonder if it still tastes like crap?" And of course, it does. I've also noticed that when I smoke an analog now, I'm not even inhaling half of it. I'm holding the smoke in my mouth like vapor. :laugh:

It gets easier every day. If you want to give yourself a boost either stand next to someone smoking and smell them (that used to be you your smelling) or if you will power is very good, light up an analog... 3 or 4 puffs and you will wonder why you even started smoking in the first place... then you will run to your ECig and puff away smiling. :)

It gets easier, my friend, so stick with it. 40+ ex-smoker here. Been off the analogs for 2 weeks now. There is no looking back.

Couple of weeks smoke free for me...I do still get the craving for one, but I'm finding it to be a little easier every day. I think my first few days were the worst of it...now I go hours without even thinking about it. I'm sure that a few more weeks into this thing and analogs will be a distant memory. I have the hardest time right now when I pick up my morning cup o' joe and when I grab that first evening beer...that's when the cravings seem to hit me the hardest. A few pulls off my eGO quickly put that feeling to bed.

I'm about five weeks in and I don't crave cigs at all, anymore. I tried one after two weeks of straight vaping and half way through it, I had to toss it. It made me feel like crap for an hour afterward, too. Had a couple of drags off a friend's two days ago and found it completely repulsive. I know now that I am for sure done with them. Just hang in there. Vaping is by far the smoothest way to quit those nasty cigs.

For some people the cravings last much longer than for others. The trick is to allow yourself to have a cig if the e-cig doesn't cut the craving. After awhile you will notice that the nasty taste factor of the cig will overpower the want of one and you will use the e-cig more often. One thing you can try is having a higher mg of e-liquid on hand for 'those hard to fight it' times. A few puffs of a higher nic level will help-just remember to switch back to your regular mg for the rest of the day!

For me, and I have only been at this for almost 2 years, my first year went great no cigs, but then my mod got broke. I started smoking until I got a new one, but the new battle is both finding a juice I can vape constantly, and the people around me. My wife and friends all smoke still. I find that when I am alone I vape more. Either way I smoke alot less than I did 2 years ago. I feel that once I find that juice I love it will be easy once again, this is what I would rather be doing instead of smoking. So does it get easier? I hope so and I envy those who just switched and no longer smoke, but I know that every person is different.
