Smoked An Analog

[GPSTrucker]

Was in a little Missouri bar enjoying some watermelon juice. Everyone else was smoking and the smell got to me. I bummed an analog from the bartender. It tasted like CRAP! I guess that's a good sign as it means I just don't have the taste for them any more. I am calling that a win.

This was a big part of my journey to no analogs. The first time I was at a bar after switching I bought a pack cause I thought the ecig wouldn't be good enough. I was wrong. I had to force myself to smoke the analogs as here in NY they are $10 a pack. It's good that you did that in my opinion as you seen as well the ecig is a much better tasting (not to mention healthier) alternative! Congrats and keep going!

The fact that it smelled and tasted like crap will reinforce your decision to quit. Slips happen. It is what we learn from them that is important. You have done well so far. Jut keep reminding yourself why you quit and what you gained in vaping. Watermellon juice tastes much better to me...

I had my battery die on me and I was without my backup. So, I bummed an analog from a buddy. First drag, I gagged. I forced myself to smoke it. Never. Again.

Isn't it great when that happens.

In my first week of vaping I smoked 14 cigs, and the last one was so horrid, and that was over 8 months ago. On the very rare occasion that I think about having an analog, I just stop for a moment and recall that last one. Vape taste so much better. So look at your crappy tasting cig as a good omen.

That's awesome! Cheers to your WIN!

That is definitely a win.
That was a tough situation and a likely chance to decide you might really prefer analogs.
Instead you proved that you've definitely moved on - well done! And the best thing was that you actually hated the taste of the 'old style' smoke, so I reckon you're set to be enjoying a bit of watermelon juice or whatever you want in total vaping satisfaction from here on in!

Sounds like you snatched a real victory from the jaws of defeat there, GPS........congrats!

The same thing happened to me; I had been vaping exclusively for about three weeks, and I caved and bought some analogs. While I feel bad for having a slip up, it took away that the idea that an analog would be soooo satisfying. I didn't even get halfway through one cigarette, and the rest of the pack has been sitting here for a week. Although I know I won't smoke one, I just can't bring myself to throw if away! LOL

Overall, it totally erased any desire for an analog, which I thought about A LOT during those first three weeks. I thought it would be heaven, and it was horrible. I almost feel like it set me free (sorry for being corny) so I can focus on vaping, and exploring all the different set ups and juice delivery methods are no longer frustrating, but fun.

Today would be 4 weeks vaping exclusively. (Started vaping May 6th) After a rather frustrating week, my stress level and impatience caused me to REALLY want an analog. I have a pack in the freezer (where I have always stored my analogs) that I too just cannot throw away. Suffice it say, after the first puff I thought, OMG this is nasty! But I kept puffing thinking it might get better. After about 5 puffs, out it went. It tasted awful. I, too am glad I did and will remember how bad it tasted next time I get a craving for one. And BTW, the analog straight out of the freezer was always one of may favorites (smoked menthol).
