Disgusting, I had to put it out after only 2 or 3 drags. It was just horrible, after I came back inside I was happy to see that my batteries were charged and I could vape again.

I had a couple in the first 2 days or so, split with my roommate and since both he and I have been vaping, the dirt stick just doesn't seem appealing anymore. Our families are happy as hell that we're done with them(besides the couple anti-nicotine nazis) and my girlfriend is sooooo glad that I'm off of analogs after almost 6 years of smoking them.

Thank you everyone for all of the information on ECF and for contributing to the cause! =D

Congrats once you find out you dont like analogs you wont think about going back...i bought snus about 3 weeks ago....used 1 and havent touched it since...still keep it in the car just in case. My family is all like you never quit smoking you just changed to something else to fill your addiaction.....I hate it...but they dont understand so its all good....keep up the good work

they do taste pretty bad, but congratz on your 2 weeks on analog free-ness.

I actually broke down and had an analog a couple days ago, it was a bad day and my stuff was charging. Was with my girlfriend and rear ended a nice beamer. Not a good day.

Ouch. That sucks! But it sounds like everyone is OK. Cars are replaceable. People, not so much.

Back on point, after 36hrs of going w/o an analog, I tried one. Took 3 puffs and spit it out. Been clean ever since. The hardest part is drinking, I felt lik I wanted one, and the vaping didn't quite feel the same. But, I stuck it out! 3+ weeks of cigarette sobriety! :)
 
Erik_Bear that is so good to hear. My wife and kids are very happy I have stopped smoking and only vape.

I have been analog free for over a month now, I stopped them as soon as I took my first vape. I have been thinking about them wondering what it would be like to try one again but knowing my addictive personality (25 years of smoking) I was afraid to try even one. Maybe one day I will bum an analog just to get that monkey off my back forever but for now I am just staying away.

I quit on a bet 25 years ago and never really lost the desire for cigarettes. After 2 1/2 years I started back during a stressful period and continued the habit up until 3 weeks ago. E-cigs allowed me to give up most of my habit. I smoked 10 a day (instead of 40) the first week and the last 2 weeks I have had 5 a day. I don't want to do the cold turkey thing again but do want to gradually give up the analogs as I just lose the desire. I think that this will happen over time with ease due to E-cigs.

I just graduated from a 510 to an Ego and already I can tell that the Ego is going to be the vehicle for giving up analogs entirely. The flavors taste so much better with the Ego that my enjoyment has increased exponentially. I had chocolate and vanilla juices that had no taste in the 510. Those two are really nice in the Ego!

So far, in three weeks, I HAVE NOT smoked 700 analogs that I would have. I'm overjoyed ...

I have an Addictive Nature, I havnt had a real cig in 111 days, the thought crossed my mind to just try it, But i know myself too well if i try it i will want more. it is good to hear that you all can try and not go back, I hated the smell of cigs when i smoked hated spending money on them but there is something about those evil things that would make me love them again, i smoked for 20 years 2 packs a day , I just cant take the chance
