Now at 21 days and counting

[daoliv]

Made it through 3 weeks now with no analog. I started vaping the minute I quit. I have not been vaping a whole bunch the last 4 days due to having the flu. Kind of irritated the throat a bit during the illness. Which at the onset of my illness I thought it was the vaping but the feverish chills and aching body convinced me otherwise. I have been vaping a bit more today but there is no taste at all so it is more for the feeling I guess. What's funny is I think I might have thought about having an analog once but never did and the reduced vaping did not bother me much either. I have smoked for at least 30 years so to me this is quite an accomplishment.

Congrats on getting the upper hand on smokin' and the flu. Sounds like you're on a roll.

Hi, daoliv and congratulations!

(Welcome to ECF, too )

The taste will return, trust me. Could be from all those years of smoking or just because of the flu. A lot of "tasting" is really smell, and I'm sure the flu did a temporary number on your nose.

Hope you feel better soon and Happy Vaping!

Sorry to hear about the flu, but congratulations on not letting it get you down and for not returning to your old habit! It's amazing that you were able to switch after 30 years! Bravo!!

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Congrats! I am almost 2 weeks of analog free, about 14 year smoker. Still getting cravings now and then, but then i just chain vape.

Something to be very proud of. Funny - I got the same kind of sickness a couple of weeks into quitting and replacing the analogs with vape. I think it is withdrawal from formaldehyde and arsenic that causes flu like symptoms a couple of weeks after removal from the system. Not sure how many get sick after quitting those toxic coffin nails, but I imagine the worst is behind you and good things are in your future. I quit almost 6 mos ago and the food is soooo much better and I get less winded from climbing stairs. I find myself wanting to walk distances again. I was a 25yr smoker and tried quitting 3 times, once on patches, once on pills, once cold - none of them worked. Welcome to the vape club!!

Hi again, daoliv,

I gave congrats on your 4days, great to hear it's now 21days!
Keep up the good work, you are over the worst part.
I found a strong menthol liquid helped with vaping during a cold - still not too much taste but at least you get a bit of sensation !
