The one I'm proudest of would have been my last cig. No special time. I looked at it, after my second day of vaping, grinned, then tossed it in the trash--along with all my ashtrays and lighters. Never looked back after that.
The cigs you haven't smoked...

The first week I missed my driving smokes, my after food smokes and my after sex smokes... then my smell buds came back and I don't miss any ....after 30+ years smoking. I am still so jazzed that I no longer need/want analogs and to think I started it because I liked one of the mods with a pink/purple wrap. Didn't even do it to quit ... but had been looking for awhile to stop. And it worked....

Pretty much what everyone else has already said. Waking up in the morning smoke, smoke with a cup of coffee, a smoke while browsing the internet, sneaking outside at break time for a smoke, after dinner smoke, sitting around in the evening smoke and having that one last cigarette before bed. Now I just substitute vaping. 
I wasn't trying to quit either but I was aware of my declining health. After a year with no cravings, the last month or so I've found myself looking for cigs. Things have been stressful but I still know that I'll never put one of those stinking pieces of s*** in my mouth again.
Six days and I've made it for a year.

I think that the first one in the morning with my coffee was the hardest. I have been smoke free now since May 10th, and have only really wanted an analog 2ce during that time. I just vape it up, and the craving just melts away! It is amazing to me that after 20+ years of smoking analogs that this can take its place so easily!
THe first of the morning and the after dinner were the hardest for me to break. THen I realised it was more habit and ritual than actual addiction.
So First thing in the morning I have my 10 minutes with a slightly higher nic level menthol juice (I was a menthol smoker). Knocked out the morning cig craving in nothing flat.
After dinner I decided to just make a new ritual. I found a dessert vape I REALLY liked. I treat it like men did in the Victorian era. The go off to the salon and have the brandy and cigar ritual. In my case it is 15 minutes of REALLY savoring that dessert vape after supper.
Now I am pushing 12 weeks cig free and I realized both habits are really broken. I still vape first thing in the morning but it might be anything. It doesn't have to be the menthol. I still vape after supper but it also might be anything. In neither case am I ready to get really cranky if anyone interrupts it any more.
It was a natural transition with no effort on my part whatsoever.

The morning - definitely my hardest one to give up. Even still, I am dying to get outside and smoke, but try to vape until that feeling goes away.
The driving cig, I used to chain smoke while driving. I never not had a cigarette in my hand while driving, even if it was to the grocery store 2 minutes down the road.
Also the public cigarette...it was extremely hard to not have a cigarette at first when I would stand with others that were smoking or talking about about smoking a cigarette. Whether it be at work or with friends just hanging out.

Make sure you buy something nice to celebrate. I'd rather you buy it for me, but I guess buying it for yourself would be ok too.
I would say my morning cig(s). I haven't had a chance, but my sister still smokes analogs, so I might be a little jealous when I am around her!

Fantastic Oxy.....many congrats!!
after meal cig-draws are like crack
who would have thought that something as small as a cigarette could become so powerful

For me it's that first thing in the morning, half asleep, walking the dog cig that would blast my eyes open that I'm truly proud to give up.
Vaping first thing in the morning does not have the same eye opening effect, probably because it does not cut off the oxygen supply to the brain.

The first one, which led to all the others. It's how I feel about not vaping first thing in the morning. I would hate to give that up too. I may be addicted...
Mine was the roll out of bed, dressing gown inside out, peel open the eyelids, trip over the dog, first thing in the morning smoke 
Having said that, my last analog on the day I quit for good was at 5 am, getting up for an early shift. That was a really testing day, I'm a bus driver and my chariot for the day broke down at 7 am. Took 3 hours for the recovery truck to come. Normally I would have smoked like crazy, but vaping did the trick for me and I've not looked back since

I'm only starting my 3rd week vaping and I haven't been able to quit my morning cigarette. I still reach for it with my first cup of coffee every day..Its a mental thing for me.
The morning one is the worst for me, I still really want an analog but i'm getting through it. By the time I'm driving to work and chain-vaping i'm ok.
