Big congrats to you, you deserve to brag! I smoked (just a few cigs) the first couple of weeks before I found a sweet spot. I wasn't getting enough nic, needed to go from 18mg to 24mg. I keep some 30mg around for when I get a "trigger." But, after a good meal, I whip out my eGo and puff away happily, and think about how I couldn't do that with a cig. :)

I like your idea of having a strong nic around for a trigger. Where did you find 30mg? I have only seen up to 24mg....and would like to try your idea!

I went the first 4 days with no analogs. I did take a drag here and there off of somebody else's though. Each time that I did, it tasted like somebody smooshed dog poop into a pile of old cigarette butts and ashes and lit it on fire so I could inhale the fumes. It was quite gross. Now I'm on day 12 and I have MAYBE 1 analog a day. First thing in the morning with my coffee. Next step, no analogs at all. Should be easy enough since I only have 1 a day anyway!

I am using SmokeTips and I wanted to use these to quit marlboro reds. I smoked these for about 30 years at 1-2 packs a day and bought them for 25 bucks a carton. I still had 5 cartons plus 5 packs to smoke. As soon as I started with the SmokeTips, I did not need to smoke the marlboros anymore. These have made me smoke free.

Talking about "triggers": On waking, I used to just reach for a cigarette, then put on the coffee. And the day began...when I ran out of hot coffee, I still had part of a cigarette. When I put my cigarette out, I still had some coffee. It was such a hassle, could never get them to work out even!
Now, a good cup of coffee is the first thing I think about. My e-cig sort of just falls into an easy place now, no particular rush about it, no particular starting-stopping timetable.

So over time your habits change and reconfigure, just for the simple reason your need to retain some certain level of comfort gradually expands and everything finds it's own level without even thinking about it. Just give yourself time.

I sometimes now have to go look for my PV, I just put it down and move through my day. It's amazing, since I never "forgot" where my cigarettes were!! After two months on PV, I could reduce my nicotine from 24mg by 25%, and then later again, and then again very easily, with no further flighty feelings or cravings. The cigarettes are BEAT. I never smoked a single one from Day One.

what else is good from puresmoker? do they have a waffle flavor? yeah yeah... i should probably just go check it out myself but to be honest I've looked at so many dif. vendors my head is starting to hurt! lol


Yay for not smoking tobacco! Myself, I also stopped smoking the day I started "vaping". 44 days ago. Vapor4Life has a waffle flavor. That's the only waffle flavor I've tried and while I don't think it really tastes like a waffle, it is one of my faves. I think it tastes like fresh homemade from scratch cake. Mmmmmmmmmmm. It's great with coffee. Or after dinner. Or with a beer...
Heck, I use it all day sometimes. PM me. I have a bottle of juice. I don't have any of your kind of cartridges, but if you send me one, I'll fill it and mail it back. :)
Also let me know what flavors are good from puresmoker. I've never tried any of theirs.

Day 3 NO ANALOGS! I just wanted to throw that out there! Kind of silly, but Im so proud of myself... I did NOT switch to the PV because I wanted to quit originally.. I just wanted to save $$$$! So this is quite unexpected. I've had lots of opportunities to give in and I've just been amazed that this is actually working for me! And Ive set a goal of being nicotine free in 1 year. Thanks for all the support and advice I've gotten on these forums! Love this community full of generous, helpful and kindhearted folks. Such a blessing!

Fantastic!! Congrats :) I think it is a HUGE milestone. Once I can make it 24 hours without one I will be posting it all over the place. lol

Wow thanks everyone for all the posts... cant get over how supportive these forums are! Its so awesome!

I actually have some juice on the way from some oh so generous ppl... and dont want to accept anything else at this time, wouldnt feel right about that, but THANK YOU for the offer and my next juice order is definently gonna be waffle, fire and ice and possibly birthday cake? All from Vapor Bomb :p

yeah the reason I would go with VB is cuz they have a couple other flavors I want to try, not fond of ordering from a bunch of dif. places.. cant afford all that shipping! lol I was thinking maybe i could just add a couple drops of menthol if its to cinnamony

That is exactly what I did with my VB fire&ice. It wasn't so much too much cinnamon as it was not enough menth.
 
Im taking it you get a good TH with that specific juice? Thats my main reasoning for wanting to try it... I have a cheap dekang menthol Ive been vaping and its ok, but theres something about the flavor I dont like and its making me nauseated. However, the TH is great... its like smoking full flavor menthol to me..

Congrats! I look forward to being where you are now in about 5 days. To quit, I need that hand to mouth thing, and I think a PV will take care of that.

You know, the first 2 days without cigarettes are considered the hardest. That means that you are over the hump! From here on out it will get easier (though not quickly).

Just remember, PMA all the way! PMA = positive mental attitude.
 
I like that! PMA.. awesome. Yeah mama always told me... "Theres only one thing you can control in life and thats your attitude!" lol! Its weird... I dont really feel as though I've "quit" cuz I still have the nicotine and vaping simulates smoking so well that it feels pretty much the same minus the grossness.
