Thank you for the replies, i have moved my ashtray that was in my bedroom to the kitchen and taken up smoking outside, hope this works, and told my mother i am not going to be smoking in my room anymore, that was since last night, when i did come to my room this morning to see what replies i got i forgot that i had no ashtray, i would have brought it back up but remembered that i wasnt going to smoke in my room. i am still dual fuelling but i am finding slightly easier that way,
I would toss the ashtray. For me, it's smell will trigger smoking.
I just carried my APV around the first week or so. Then I would carry it around and sit it just out of my line of sight. Let the urges tell you when.
If urges are often, add an extra 1-2 draws for satisfaction. I would start with 24mg juice that is minty. My tasttebuds were shot, so I could taste soft flavors. If the 24 is too weak, your urges will say vape more.
On my nightstand is a coffee mug for my APV...my APV is never far.
Just go by urges for 2-3 weeks.

For me it is the morning vape that i can not get used to, i always have to have a cig in my mouth for that nic hit, usually i have 3 in the first hour of waking. but will try to not have one until the urge is really strong. i have told my self now that i will not smoke past 17:00 hrs and try to keep it at this, i am not a morning person so i generally wake at around 12:30 pm and that is when i need one straight from bed with no toilet break.
As i started to vape on a cigalike from 30th June it took 2 weeks for vapers fatigue to set in and was like that for about a month. but i was duel fuelling and keeping track of the cigs i was smoking, i still remember when it was starting to set in that i was finding cigarettes a bear to taste and tasted icky, i think that is what i need again to get me off them permanently

Whenever you know that a cigarette is the only thing that will satisfy you, that isn't true; it's only conditioning.
So when it happens, vape first and vape hard. You can have a cigarette afterwards if you still need one but try to leave ten minutes before making the decision. You will find the conditioning is changed quite quickly.
If you haven't got a vaping setup that can fairly easily make you light-headed with a nic rush, then upgrade until you have. You can do it with more power (and an atomiser that wll cope) or with a stronger e-liquid.

It's feels quite hard to do as i have smoked my last cigarette till midnight and go to bed then in the morning i feel i need one, i try and vape as much as i could before i go to the shops and buy a packet, this is within the first hour of waking up, just need that kick in the head or something to tell me i have to carry on vaping as it is a healthier alternative to smoking. i think in the morning i will try and fight the temptation to buy cancer sticks and vape all day.
I am still finding it hard to give up the cigarettes, yet i am trying different flavours in my mini nautilus's. i am at that stage now that when i try and set a time for me to vape and try and forget about the smokes many minutes into vaping and i am stuck with the nagging feeling that i should light one up, i am starting to get a little comfortable vaping for 2 hours but i don't gannett vape i only do it when i sense the time has passed for me to light one up, when i have hit 2 hours i go and have one then once that has been done i tend to not vape. i don't know why but i get the feeling that once i have done this i have failed and think what the heck i might as well smoke. this has been going on for the past week now, the reason i am starting to get a little comfortable doing those 2 hours is that i am once again starting to read.
please help me kick the habit of smokes, i just don't know what to do any more and do not want to be a duel user for long. in the uk there is a national month for stopping smoking and i have signed up for that its called stoptober which is 28 days long and runs from the 1st to the 28th of October.

A few things you can try.
Keep your setup on you at all times and the smokes further away. I keep 2 in my pocket at all times.
Don't clock watch. I vape exactly as I smoked. Same times same amount same place. I replaced vaping for cigarettes.
Try raising your nicotine level. I was at 18mg when I started, I went up to 24mg to quit.
Find the perfect flavour to start the day. I have been using the same vanilia for the first few hours since the end of January.
Just count the one you don't smoke. Keep at it. It took me 45 days to quit so I know you can do it.
A big thing for me was not to put any pressure on myself. Just let things progress as they will

As you can see, you'll get tons of answers...
None of them are right.
Because the only right answer is what works for you.
This poll is old, and a bit outdated, but it gives you some ideas to consider...
What did it take for you to put down those last couple of cigarettes?

Well Stoptober or vapetober is coming and wanted to say that i will give up the cigs for this month and beyond, hoping that i will be not subjected to overzealous people trying to make me go back to cigs, hoping that i conquer the cig thing and become healthier once again, have been using my isub g tank with peach in @6mg nic where as before when i got it i tried 18mg and that was a harsh throat hit, loving the taste now and have been using more juice in it than my mini nautilus's. hope you guys and gals can spear me on during the month of October to be a vaper.
BTW, living in an area prone to hurricanes, I will have my hurricane supply of cigs jut in case there is of pow
er to charge my Evod.[/QUOTE].
Too funny! I also live in a hurricane prone area and realized when the guy at the vape store talked, semi-jokingly, about the zombie apocalypse and saving his juice, that i needed to have a way to vape when the power is out.

I remember that poll...when I first started vaping 2 1/2 years ago. It was people around me that deterred me from quitting completely. "Oh, you are using that electronic thing? It's worst than smoking" Even got off ECF for a while. But a vicious respiratory infection finally made me quit. And I feel GREAT! And VAPE. So, with that said, DC2 is right. It's what works for YOU. And no one else. Do whatever it takes to quit smoking. Chew gum and vape at the same time if you have to. Too many "rules". Set your own "rules". At your own pace.
BTW, I miss seeing JJ2(Tigger) and Sue. Friends come and go here and I can only hope they are doing well.
