well, I'm very new here, but welcome.
I'm kind of in the same boat as you.
I'm a bit new to
vaping (only 3 weeks) but i can tell you ,
vaping saved my life.
started with 18mg and I'm on 12mg now. Need to vape a bit more juice but it will do the trick. The important thing is, don't touch those analogs again.
2 things that i found amazing since i stop smoking, the smells and my taste. Day after day, i can smell things that had been around me for ages and i never noticed them. An the food , OMG, lol , NOW THE FOOD HAVE TASTE. I will need to tone down a bit regarding food, but men, all the things I eat taste awesome.
