I really want to try one (analog) to see how awful they are. But not sure I'm out of the woods yet. I'll give it 6 months like you did.
I did not try my first analog for 1.5 years but it tasted like I was licking an ashtray, no joke.
Two weeks and no stinkies, but I need better vapes

Hi Jeffreys - funny but I didn't even have the urge - just had a ton of them (I did RYO) laying around & thought 'wonder if I'd get that old feeling' - WOW - I sure didn't - it was positively awful! Give it a little more time & I promise you, you'll wonder how the heck you ever stuck that thing in your face - vape on...it tastes MUCH better.
This reminds me of a Steven Wright joke (that really dry comedian from years ago.)
Joke: "I saw a bumper sticker that read 'kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray." ... ... ..."
"I'm gonna remember that next time I'm lonely."
Regarding the original post. Thank you everyone for the advice. I picked up a Kanger T2 Clearo and replaceable heads, some RY4 juice, and a pack of the kanger horizontal cartos from carolinavapes.com (Free shipping until the 8th. Bonus)
I'm still pretty new at this myself and I've only been off the analogs for a week. When I ordered my setup I also ordered a bunch of different juices, mostly tobacco flavors and all of them at 24mg of nicotine. What I found that I like so far is Boba's Bounty from Alien Visions followed by Casablanca from Backwoods Brew and Soldiers Blend from My Freedom Smokes. I've tried a couple of others so far like RY4, Lucky Strike, 555 and just don't like them but you know this is all subjective. All of these so far I'm vaping through Boge LR carto's on an Ego Twist. I just ordered some CE5+ to see the difference.
Congrats on the 2 weeks! Imho, you shouldnt be afraid to test an analog. Just get your best set up, favorite juice, put that on your table and compare it to an analog. 2 weeks without smoking is more than enough to realise that your PV tastes 1000 times better than what we had for years!
Trying may even clear all the remaining doubts you may have ,)

I just wanted to say congrats for your 2 weeks...and don't beat yourself up if you smoke one. It will prob taste awful and you will prefer your e cig better.
Congrats on your accomplishment. You will find you can't even stand it any longer.
Personal experience is that clearomizers (those that I've tried) have blown and leaked. Something along those lines I've had good luck with is the ego mega xxl. They hold about 3ml. They fit the ego/kgo batts well. I you want to try a "cheaper" tank, I've had deer luck with smoktech tanks. That will give you a little variety without refilling every hour (which can be annoying).
Boba's bounty rocks IMO. nice smooth tobacco flavor. If you like banana undertones, give gorilla juice a shot.

If you've gone two weeks without smoking, then you have crossed the hurdle and should be able to go the distance. That said, some of us have trouble getting over the attraction of smoking until we realize how much better vaping can be. Lots of us cut down drastically the first week, but still held on to a few cigs for a long time. What we discovered is that smoking a few was just a crutch that we could have thrown away any time we wanted to.
For those of us who found the habit hard to quit cold turkey, keeping a few cigs a day for a while helped us compare and decide we didn't need them anymore. It didn't take long for me to decide that cigs tasted crappy and my ecig tasted good. A while after I started vaping, I decided that I didn't need the cigs anymore. At that point, I had re-adjusted my need for tobacco to a point where I quit and had no withdrawal symptoms. It was more of a natural progression to quit in stages than do it cold turkey.
The point? Quitting is the goal. Whether you do it cold turkey or in stages is the difference. Some drop cigs and never look back. Others need to hang on to a few and drop them gradually. What matters is that once you quit, you are convinced that it was a good thing for you. The mental part of withdrawal can be as bad as the physical. If you fail, just drop them in stages. Don't worry about it. You will eventually stop smoking ALL of them and feel good about it. Ecigs just help you control the urges until you are balanced mentally about the change.
It's easier to quit a half pack a day habit than a 2 pack a day habit. If you have to become a half pack smoker for a while to adjust, there's nothing wrong with that. The goal is to become a non-tobacco user.
