I occasionally have a puff of an analog. Or three. My HB is 1/2 vaping, 1/2 smoking, and I'll pick his up sometimes, just for a whiff and a huff. I'm increasing finding I prefer the vape. He's agreed to keep his analogs in the car (we live in a 3rd floor apt), once we have enough batteries to keep us going. Well, I just got my TW 30% discount order, so we have 15 mega batts, mega charger, and baby - we are in business! Analogs go to live in the car TOMORROW.
I have a friend who had NO desire to quit smoking, but for the cost - turned her on to a 510, and she said, "this might be fun" - she left her analogs in her shed for a week, reasoning if she REALLY wanted one, it would be worth it to make the trip - and now, she's completely done with them. She lit one two weeks ago, and put it out. She's amazed that she doesn't want an analog anymore. I'm almost there, not quite.
One thing I've noticed, tho - when I hit on an analog, it has no flavor. I'm liking my flavors, blackberry & chocolate & coffee. My HB eschewed then initially, but he's found he LOVES blackberry. I figure, every analog I don't smoke is a benefit. I can already breathe so much better, and my sense of smell is coming back! YAY!

The difference being that Japan isn't begging China not to come debt collecting... It's sad what my country's become.
I still smoke about 5 a day. I used to smoke about a pack or so and when I got my first ecig in mid-September I immediately cut that in half, and now have halved that half, so I think I'm doing pretty good. At first, the ecig wasn't quite as satisfying as a real cig, but lately I've noticed a real cig just isn't very satisfying anymore - especially since I have to smoke outside and it has been very very cold here the last several days. Being able to vape in the comfort of my non-smoking apartment is really quite nice.
If my 510 is working analogs just feels wrong and not in a good way.When out and something goes wrong don't feel guilty at all, everyone would eat chicken if steak was not on the menu, or drink diet beer in a pinch.
I started vaping in early June 2009 and have not given up analogs.
However, I have NOT smoked an analog in the house, in the car, or at
work in that time. Not one. The garage has become the "Smoking Den",
exclusively. But who knows what will happen when it's zero degrees
out there at some point soon.
I've reduced the number of analogs by over 80%. I'm pleased and consider
it a success.

I must be lucky. I smoked analogs for 18 years, got my kit last Thursday. and haven't had one since. I've had the urge but vaping increases my willpower by a factor of 10.
Havent had a cigarette in almost 10 months. Vape all day long, every day.

Been vaping almost 30 days now and no way want an analog. Now just smelling it makes me sick. I've smoked for nearly 40 years and never wanted to quit. Found e-cigs by accident and it's changed my life. I have no desire at all for a real cig. I never thought I'd say that for sure!! I just love vaping and it's saved my life as well.
I have not had an analog in over a year. Now I can smell them miles away and I do like not stinking like an ashtray (which I was not aware of before).
To start with I continued to smoke analogs but the less I smoked the more repulsive the seemed to taste.
I want to light a ciggerette, but when I try to the 3rd or 4th pull tastes really nasty to me now and I don't want to finish it.
I have been vaping for 2.5 months now and have cut my analog intake down to 2-3 a day..
I smoke first thing in the morning with coffee and still very much enjoy them.....
Maybe one day I will give up my morning analogs, but right now I am happy cutting out 15/20 a day I use to smoke..

I started vaping basically because I resented being treated like a second class citizen because I was a smoker, but now that I really prefer vaping to smoking, I would only smoke if vaping was impossible.
My wife, who only smoked about half of what I used to (ten a day to my twenty) still smokes 2-4 analogs a day. She says she likes the ritual of it.

Yeah, I'm still stuck with 2-5 a day, depending on the day and what is going on. I try to reach for the vape instead.
But hey, the carton I got before my first e-cig lasted a month rather than 5 or 6 days. That's still an accomplishment.
Going up to 48mg again today, hopefully I like MFS version better than others i've tried.

I was what most of you would consider a light smoker for 10 years (about half a pack a day). I started to vape about a month ago and got tempted to have a reg cig about 2 weeks ago while drinking, I ended up throwing away half of it andf I did't even have my 510 on me. I still have a hand rolled cigar about twice a week but never inhaled cigars. I feel better than ever.
