Do you ever still get a random craving for a real cigarette? I find that every now and again I get a sudden "Man, I kinda want to burn one" moment, where I want a cigarette...
Question for those who've quit smoking

Yes, I did. It dawned on me not too long ago that I no longer do.
Most of the time, the smell along kills me.

Approaching 8 months without an analog and still get (though diminishing) an occasional desire for one. I finally gave away the full carton I had sitting, but still have 5 packs on standby just in case. My newest home brew formula really helps now that I found a mixture that has a really good tobacco flavor.
I've been vaping for over 7 months without a single craving for a turd after the first week or so. In fact, the thought of one now turns my stomach!!

When i first quit and started vaping, at times i did ( especially when having a beer ) but 4 months in, If i even smell a cigarette or someone who smokes, its nasty. I was in my buddies car one day and he was smoking the whole time, Though i was going to choke and die! lol and i use to be a Pack and a Half a day smoker for 16yrs!
I actually found 2 packs on Newports deep in my dresser drawer the other day when i was cleaning it out. Unopened! lol i didn't even think about it.

I still do, but when if I give in and light it up I take one drag and throw it on the ground because its nastier then I remember. The secret is to have a go to flavor for when that feeling come about. I use a 36mg coffee flavor when I get the craving and BOOM its gone.
At least two or three times a week, especially when driving.
Nicotine alone isn't nearly as calming as a real cigarette because of all the other things in tobacco. Snus helps take the edge off, though. Getting there.

The beauty i've found with my device is that when i'm using it on a regular basis and say i forgot to bring my juice or a spare battery the odd analogue does'nt seem to bother me, i'll get back home juice up, back vaping and no craving for an analogue

It seems to only be every now and again for me, just one of those momentary "Hmmm..." things, although when I smell someone who smokes, I practically gag on them, lol.
Once in a while all of a sudden I make my old move like I'm gonna run out on the patio and have a smoke. Then I think, wait a second, and pick up my Chuck instead. Its funny. But I never want one for real.
Yes, in fact I had a cigarette just a few hours ago. Meh - I think it's mostly a nostalgia thing.
Bigger picture, I'm down from a pack of Marlboro Red 100s a day five weeks ago to maybe one cigarette a week if I'm in the mood; I call that a win, and I'm sure as hell not going to beat myself up over it!

I keep a pack of cigs in my glovebox
Whenever the memory of smoking sneaks up I light one up, most I've taken in 5 months is 2 drags and toss it out
Yuck

Little fact fetishist that I am, I can even give you (preliminary) numbers:
83% of all vapers (who answered the poll) quit smoking entirely. However, a third of those still at least occasionally crave tobacco products. The remaining 17% do supplement their vaping with tobacco products. Almost half of those switch to a different tobacco product, most likely (but no way I could get that question into the poll) smokeless tobacco.
In other words, no need to feel alone with that.

The best thing i did was to smoke an analog after my first week of vaping. Made me realize that vaping was way better. Never had a craving for analogs since then.
Lets just say this...
I crave pumpkin seeds more than I've craved an analog in the last 3 months.
