Suggestions on dropping analogs?

[skydvejam]

OK I am loving vaping, but still having a slight issue dropping the last of the analogs. When I got back from Afghanistan, I was smoking about 1 1/2-2 1/2 packs a day, reds and camel straights depending on the location I was at, and what I could get my hands on.
Had a couple of disposables sent out to me, loved them until they ran out, that did not take too long either. Anyways I started stockpiling at home for my return. Since I have been home I have reduced my analogs down to anywhere from 5-10 a day, and vape a lot. I have several juices, wait that is not quite it, I have an obscene amount of flavors, and DYI stuff. Tons of 510 stuff, SB, 808, 40x, 901. Juices from 10mg, granted it is Drews octaine, to 48mg, and several DYI from 26-100 to blend and spike with, and will sometimes make around a 50mg when I an having a fit.
I used to be one of those that would smoke a cig down to the filter, or to my fingertips if it was a straight, now I have about half and just can not stand the flavor anymore, but can not seem to totally kick them.
I suppose I need to start working snus and snuff into my routine again, just sort of did not want to carry that much around with me lol.
After typing this out and reading it, I am thinking I might have to post this in smokeless again lol. Well if anyone has any other ideas that might help me, please place something here.
I know we are all fighting the same monster.

Im not sure what to say, I use to smoke 2 packs a day, It took me a bout a month of vaping and refusing to buy smokes to completily quit, for if i had anologs around i would smoke them and one day i said no more anologs, then i vaped like crazy on High 36 mg juice for like 2 days and i never had a craving. I think getting over the mental part of it was the hardest, but once i took the last step , the last step was scary but i took it and i made it.

Just dont beat yourself up over it and what is that old saying "Just do it"

I found it much easier to use the tobacco flavors with a high nic level (36mg) at first. I didn't have a problem with not lighting up as long as I got what I needed.

I think it took a while to gain "trust" that the PV would satisfy the need. At first I was running to my pass through to get the TH and vapor but got it together after the panic stage. After eating, I use my Protege pass through and I'm ok with it now.

I've added a KR808 to my lifestyle now and really like it for my out and about vape. The 2 pc set up gives me what I need and I don't have to mess with filling and topping off.

It took me 3 months to get rid of my last few smokes every day. I finally told myself I was just switching brands, not quitting. I had always fought the quitting thing and it freaked me out. So I just switched to a better brand 401s for me.

sometimes it just takes the time you need, I think you must know your go-to pv you have to love it and trust it. for me it's the dse601 pipe. no matter what else they make or what else i like this stays with me for always even when i manage to stop vaping....

Try postponing that analog 15 minutes everyday, vape if you want, but postpone the analog. 15 minutes won't make you super uncomfortable, and you'll get to a point that you won't need it. And definitely, vape heavily. Mine was glued to my hand for about a week when I put that last analog down. Oh, and thanks for what you did over there. Glad you're home safely!

I think you got that right, try smokeless. You will probably find that you need rather little of it, and that also means, not much stuff to carry. I get by with 2 potions of snus a day, on a bad day, three, and I just consume those at home. A very occasional snuff I carry in a bullet, which is smaller than my lighters usually were.

When you have gotten rid of the habit of analogs, and are still disturbed by the smokeless tobacco, then try to get rid of it again. Although frankly, there is little reason to, in my opinion. Most smokeless tobaccos have a health record that is better than many popular foods.
