One of the toughest issues after I quit the analogs was drinking, especially in a social situation .. it was not just the possible craving for a real cig, it was also the fear that my manliness might be in question when folks spotted my PV ..

I'm happy to report that neither became a real problem .. just be prepared to discuss the PV ..

I'm happy to hear that, one big issue for me is also drinking while smoking especially in nice summer patio weather.

Does anyone get tempted to smoke analogs when out drinking and all your friends are blowing smoke in your vicinity.

I used to go into Auto Smoke when I drank , nothings changed , except I now go into Auto Vape !! The more I drink , the less I care what Im vaping !! For me , its about the TH , not the flavour so much.

Same here. And being with my smoking friends doesn't bother me - they smoke, I vape, no problem. And I don't come home and think damn, I just smoked a pack in a few hours!

Djp5690 (sir or Ms.?) all depends on what I'm drinking as to the flavor to vape. Vape just as much as I smoked when having a beer or six though. Hoppy beers (like dogfish head 90 min ipa) need a stronger flavor with high th just as a forewarning.

Ahhhh, dogfish head! Have you tried the 120 min, or their Worldwide stout (18%!!!)? Both are FANTASTIC brews! Thanks for all the info, guys. I will def give it a try when i get my volt tomorrow!

Ahhh...Toronto. You can probably still smoke in bars and restaurants there. Even though NC is a HUGE tobacco state, you can no longer smoke in a restaurant and only in a bar that is a private club. I don't think that it would bother me though, I find that the smell of an analog is unappealing now, and the thought of smoking one is even less appealing...even while drinking.

Actually smoking indoors was banned years ago, I think almost 4-5 years ago now. I'm kind of glad because I would chain smoke inside if that was still allowed. But glad to hear analogs are unappealing I remember watching tv and seeing someone smoke on tv then I would need to step out for one.

Nope im not tempted at all. Cigarettes smell like crap to me now so i dont bother to even try smoking one.

I think that vaping and drinking is even better than smoking and drinking. When I was a smoker and I used to go drinking I would chain smoke and then I would wake up the next morning feeling awful because I had smoked a ton in a short period of time. Now that I vape I can do it all I want when I'm drinking and I feel fine the next morning... And I can stay inside the bar and vape my brains out! :)

When I first switched to 100% vaping, I avoided the bars for a week for fear of wanting an analog while drinking. Second week, I learned my fears were unwarranted as vaping was just as satisfying. I had a couple of flavors with me (I don't do tobacco flavors) thinking I needed to find the right flavor. Now, I just vape whatever I've been vaping all day. My vaping has drawn curious inquiries and several conversions to vaping.

The only time I even want a cig anymore is when I'm drinking and is has nothing to do with anyone else smoking around me as it even happens with a few drinks at home. I get past it easy enough but try to keep some lower nic juice and plenty of charged batts and filled cartos with as I really chain vape with a few drinks.
