I smoked analogs for 25 years. I picked up the Halo Triton starter kit and have not smoked for almost a month. I have zero desire to go back. Perhaps I am one of the lucky ones, but it has been pretty painless for me. The Halo device works great, their liquids are awesome and so far, so good. 
I continued to smoke for a couple of months after I started vaping. It takes some time to find your best setup and favorite juices. Just give yourself the time you need to make the transition. It doesn't need to be an all or nothing kind of thing. My favorite e-liquid flavors are from Halo, and I use their G6 and Halo Triton batteries. But whatever you use, just don't get discouraged and give up too soon. I smoked for over fifty years, but it's been almost 7 months since I smoked my last cigarette and I don't miss it at all anymore.
taste in juices as we all know is very subjective but bowse a bit on the liquid review section and most likely you will find something that tickles your fancy, also try maybe upping your nic and of course power vaping through the cravings is a must.
Do not give up!
It takes time to find what is going to work for each one of us.
It took me awhile before I stopped smoking completely. I tapered off smoking. I vaped and smoked. I had to find a great flavor I liked and the right amount of nicotine to keep the cravings away. I started with 18mg of nicotine and the flavor was cinnamon. I smoked for 30 years. I never thought I could stop smoking. I hope you keep trying things. Give vaping a chance maybe you will be surprised.
Its ok to do both for awhile. Go easy on yourself and take the time you need to take.
This forum is a great place to read what has worked and what hasn't. Plenty of information in these forums for ideas that might work for you.

Thank you and congrats to all of you that have succeeded 
I have smoked for 40 years ( hold on I feel I should be standing up lol) I have tried everything off the shelf and from my doctor to help me kick this horrible habit, this is the only thing that I have ever stopped for more than an hour with.
This time I will do it I just need to find the right stuff for me, btw I am in UK so I sadly can't get some of the things you can

Hi tizwas,
You can do this. I've smoked intermittently since I was a teenager (63 now) and this is my 4th (and last) quit. This time was 10+ years inhaling all that crap. Smoking is two habits, physical and physiological. The physical is nothing more than having something to do with your hands; it's the nervous habit. The physiological is nicotine dependence. eCigs satisfy both of those for me.
Quitting is a head game you play with yourself. The first hurdle is physical. If you feel the need for a physical cigarette; start with that. That's where I was. I enjoyed smoking, just not the thought of all the nasty things I was doing to my body. My first eCig was Green Smoke. It looks like a cigarette, it feels like a cigarette, and it smokes like a cigarette. It comes in a lot of different flavors, some good, some not so. I discovered later there were cheaper, almost identical generic versions of the same thing you can get preloaded with flavors or blank cartos you can load with your liquid of choice.
This time wasn't even like quitting. I initiated it because I wanted out of the tobacco world and for me at least this was more like parking my car and riding the train. You just exchange one vehicle for another. I got my GSs July 6th, smoked 5 more reals up to the 11th, and haven't touched one since. You can do the same.
I'm now on a cruise. I found a few flavors and hardware I liked: Backwoods Brew Malty Toffee and eVo Black Diamond among others for flavors, the Vision Spinner to start with and now my Vamo V2 (which is amazing, at least in my limited experience) for hardware. Another way to look at this ... I was a pack a day smoker, in the US that's a $150 a month habit. I now have the hardware I 'need' to proceed, anything else is fluff. I'll recoup my investment in about three weeks, everything beyond that is money in my pocket.
The nicotine dependence is a no brainer. Use whatever level works for you to change the physical habit, then taper off, or don't. The important thing is to stop pumping your system full of the poisonous crap fousted on us by a bunch of money hungry tobacco people. We now have an alternative. It's our choice, not theirs.
Bottom line, if you want out, get out. You've found the path just follow it. You're in the right place. It's my observance that the majority of people here are just like us. They've made it and so can we, and you won't find a more supportive group. Take whichever fork appeals to you and never look back.

Try quitting to find a ADV...I keep at least 3 flavors in rotation every day. If I vape too much of one flavor I get bored very quick (suprisingly considering I smoked the same brand for over 10 years!)
What I do is I have 2 Protanks 2 and a couple of carto tanks. I fill them every nite and that is what I use for the next day. I also have a few evods for an occasional change since they are so small.
Now I do have a favorite vape (Hawk Sauce from Mt Baker Vapor) that I keep in my 6 ml tank constantly but I don't vape on it all day.

Ordered the variety sample pack
Some of the Halo flavors I like right out of the bottle the first day. But with others I like to let them sit for a day or two with the cap off to let them breathe... like fine wine being allowed to age. Tribeca is a good one to start with. Halo has a thread where some of us get together to play, chat, and just have fun. Come join us sometime.
Halo
Thinking of getting a sample set. Not sure which one lol
LOL welcome to our world !!!!
Still.....a lot cheaper and healthier then analogs.
Hang in there you will find one that you enjoy , and, having a variety on hand is, well, handy
my samples have arrived ....... What to try first
I can't wait
I'm so hoping you find something you really like.
