Smoked a real cig today, tasted like S@*!

[dattmavis19]

I didn't quit smoking analogs completely when i started vaping a few weeks ago, though i did almost instantly drop from a pack and a quarter a day to half a pack. I've slowly been going down from there, and i've been stuck at 4-5 for about 5 days now. Well, i lit one up this morning, a Newport red 100, and thought to myself, "wow, this tastes like crap". Now normally i smoke the menthol 'Ports, so the reds kinda taste bad anyways, but this was particularly bad. I've tried two others throughout the day with quite similar results.

I think tomorrow will be my first day of no analogs. Yay!

Looks like this $20 in my pocket will be going towards that 5v DIY box mod kit from madvapes i've had my eye on. Maybe even splurge and get the vv kit to go with it. Even though i wont have $$ for the batts & charger for a few weeks

Sidenote: If i stick that vv kit in a 3AA box, will i be able to put enough batts to make it VV? Cuz i'd kinda like to stick a bottomfeeder bottle in there too, but i see that taking up 2 of the 3 slots. Dont know of a 7.4v, or even 6v batt...

I was lucky. I finished my last cig as my battery was charging on my 510 and I only had a couple rough moments. Never looked back but I had been waiting months to switch so I think my mind had quit long before my body did.

Goog luck with giving up the last of ... to quote hairball "the stinkies"

Keep your juice stocked. If there is one thing that can sabotage your effort is to run out of juice.

Congrats for making the switch!!! I've been vaping about 2 months now, and the thought of smoking an analog doesn't even cross my mind anymore! I have waaaay to much fun vaping all of the different flavors out there using (or trying to when money allows) all of the different hardware. I don't ever remember having this much fun smoking. Who does Smoke Meets? or how many Smokers forums do you see where you can meet new people and offer advice and samples, etc....? LOL Vaping is awesome and exclusively vaping has been even more awesome! Great job! (Your PIF goes out today. )

I can't even stand the way analogs SMELL anymore! I can't believe that my first happy thought every morning used to be: oooh, i can't wait to hit my first smoke!! YUCK!!!

BTW thought you may be interested in this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/168197-red-sky-mods.html. He has some nicely priced VV bottom feeder wood mods.

I almost dry-reached when I tried a ciggy after months of vaping. Cant believe I used to smoke!

Anyway as mentioned, ensure you have backup batteries and at least one Mod, it's not fun when your equipment fails.

I stopped buying cigs when I first started vaping, but I did have a one here and there for months. I haven't had one single cig since Oct. 2010. I was at a friends house and a few people were smoking. When I went home, I was sitting on my bed and started gagging from the smell of cigs on me. I had to change my clothes and wash. That's when I officially found cigs to be disgusting.

Congrats to you!

Congrats Datt! I started out with a 21st Century ecig that I picked up where I was buying my analogs. I went from 1.5 pad to 0.5 pad and did this for about a month, then quit after I finished off the pack I had. It's been over two months now. Last week my wife (still smoking) asked me to light her an analog while she was driving. I did. Tasted like sh#!. LOL

I ran out of my good juice last week and have been bumming anologs from people.. I have to admit though, they taste really good, lol

congrats! good luck! and don't beat your self up every analog avoided is a victory!

ive smoked a few cigs since i quit in march had one about a week or so ago and it still tasted great to me, still love the smell. wasnt as satisfying as my pv though i finished smoking it and went straight for the riva. then again it was a marb light compared to the reds i usually smoked
