And I don't think its just the withdraws if at all... Your getting your nic from the e-Cig 
maybe just urges to light one up... Thanks when I do my heaviest vaping!

I had absolutely no real physical symptoms. I did however crave cigarettes. What I did is, honestly, just smoked If I wanted a cigarette I smoked it. It'd make me sick to my stomach and I'd put it out. I always say, if you get a craving: Smoke it. If you treat it like a forbidden fruit it'll just make you want one more. You will quit naturally because of vaping as long as you are getting enough vapor/flavor for your tastes. I personally could not quit with small 510s. I required a large VV device at high power to actually quit. But, once I got my Saber Touch VV I quit that same day.
my first week vaping the detoxing was painful for me I broke out in cold sores I had 5 of them at once lucky for me I work from home and my gums bled when I brushed the first few weeks so I went in for a cleaning I was told this was normal when you quit smoking the blood flow was returning

Quitting was pretty mild for me, but my habit didn't go up to 1 pack a day until about 10 years ago or so (for many years I was about 1/2 pack a day). I did cough up some stuff, but nothing major. I had some chest/lung pains for the first few weeks as well, but those are passing. Since others have mentioned bodily functions, I also had constipation for the first week or so.
At the 1 week mark, I did hit the "taste wall" that hairball mentions (couldn't taste any vape at all for about 3 or 4 days, but could taste food and such). Even changing flavors didn't work for me... just had to work through it.
To make you aware, some people crave the "whole tobacco alkaloids" (WTAs) that are in cigarettes and not in vape. I'm obviously one of those, because at about 2 weeks, I had 2 or 3 bouts of really bad analog cravings even after chain-vaping 24mg juice. They lasted for several hours each but eventually passed (I did NOT cave to them). I feel that's all behind me now.
I'll also second the recommendation for a high nic juice (24mg is probably good) for your first juice... technique is different with vaping, and many people treat it like a cigarette at first which doesn't work. Read the 4 part beginners tutorial on technique. Once you figure it out, 24mg may make you whoosey... at which point you can drop it down.
Hope this helps... good luck!

I purchased both 12 mg and 18 mg - unless I'm really stressed I don't take full drags off an analog (plus I got really woozy when I tried the patch and gum - I couldn't even handle the middle grade one that was recommended for 1/2-1 PAD smokers). I'm also going to try the whole "hold it in for a bit" method of vaping so I absorb the nicotine better. It's a technique I used when I was a bit of a troublemaker/hippie for other things (I hope that's not violating the forum rules to mention that - I just want to say that I know how).
Not quite! I see it as quitting an addiction and getting a hobby. As such you end up spending much more. There's a thread dedicated to that phenomenon. My example: in the first 30 days I have saved more than 100 Euros in analogs but spent more than 500 in liquids, accessories, starter kit, parts, etc. It doesn't matter, I love my new hobby.

In my experience it's more about breaking the habit, EXAMPLE ( driving the car and smoking or after a meal). I found when you first start vapeing you should not expect to stop smoking normal(analog) cigs straight away. But you will significantly reduce the amount used, eventually completely stopping.
From Smoking to Vaping- that process is easy. No symptoms for me
Now I'm having troubles to go back to smoking. Yup, I smell the smoke unbearable. Taste aweful. This is a problem for me. How can I bring my device out of my country? Eg: holiday, overseas assignment. I surely be checked at the customs and device will be confiscated.
Shucks... Ultimately in the end I will quit smoking and vaping. Damnnn u tobacco lobbyist. Making our lives like hell always.
Sobs sobs.. I pove

From what I have heard from multiple people who smoked for as little as 10 years up to 40 years is that after a month or two of vaping if you go back and smoke a cigarette you will probably not be able to finish it and if you do there is a high likelihood that you will puke.
Find the strength and make the change. It's not the withdrawal from nicotine that's going happen it's the withdrawal from god knows what else they put in cigarettes. There are 4000+ chemicals in a cigarette. 50 of them are carcinogens. Ignore the FDA and other BS crap that people say about e-cigs. There is nothing worse for you than smoking analogs. Period.
Here's another factoid: 9/10 patients fail to quit after 6 months using NRT (Nicotine Reduction Therapy) i.e. "The Patch", nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers (not e-cigs, like asthma inhalers). From what I can tell the quit ratio on e-cigs is 100%. The only problem is they become addicted to vaping and spending money on it! I find that addiction swapping is the best way to quit.
Another factoid: Nicotine is just as harmful to you as a caffeine habit. So there really is no need to quit vaping. All the chemicals in it are food grade and have been proven for many decades. Good luck!

Addicted to vaping and spending money on it.
Yup ninja. Hands down on that.
I think that's the downfall once u start vaping. So many many ways to enjoy vaping. So many many devices that allows you to do so: variable mods.. The beautiful GGTS
So many many attachments that will change the taste n warmth of your vapor: dual coil, tanks, fluxomizers etc
Lastly so many many many type of vendors selling their wonderful nicotine flavours..
And they all cost money
Tragic
