Welcome and I'm so sorry you lost your brother, yet happy you quit the analogs. I, myself, am going thru a difficult time with my father. He is in his last stages. He can't move past his chair without gasping for air, even on oxygen and breathing treatment. I was such an avid smoker, I'd spend the night and live at the hospital with my father. For a fearless man, I could see the fear in him, so I refused to leave his side. Despite all that, I would still sneak out, to smoke that cig. That's how bad I was, until a gentleman in the bed beside my fathers (whom has lung cancer) introduced me to vaping. As soon, as my father got out of the hospital, I bee lined it to the vape store and I haven't smoked an analog since. vaping is a miracle for me!!! Now, I vape and my father takes his breathing treatment. Not really a pretty site, but we make lite of the situation and joke about how "he has his breathing treatments and now I have mine".

Big Congratz!!!!!!!!!!!! and keep vaping!!!!!! :)

I am sorry for the loss of your brother. I have the opposite effect on the flavors though. Vaping sweet stuff makes me forget to eat sometimes. I heard that will go away in time though. I am still striving to get rid of the analogs. It is hard for me as I am nervous but do not take medicine for it. I refuse to do that so I am trying to breathe deeply when I get nervous and it does help alot. I have been through a lot in my life and this is a cause for it but I am praying it goes away. I do notice not using as many analogs does help with my nervousness though and that is a great feeling.
