Wow, cigarettes aren't good anymore....

[lordterrin]

So for fun, my girlfriend and I went and bought a pack of cigarettes last night, and smoked one each, after not having one and only vaping for the past month and a half - and I can honestly say I DIDN'T enjoy it! It doesn't taste as good as a vape, it didn't affect me as much, it tasted nasty, and all the other things that go along with analogs. After buying my vape, from the moment I started vaping I didn't touch another cig, so it was nice after six or seven weeks now to go back and try it again.

I'm glad I quit!

I had one a week or so ago. Had just eaten a big meal and was on the way to a friend's house where I knew I could bum one. I was secretly giddy with excitement to have a real cig but was abruptly disappointed when I lit the thing up and took a drag. I can't fathom how I smoked 20+ of those things a day for 18 years. Couldn't finish it.

Haha, you sound like Denis Leary. "I thought they had vitamin B in them and stuff!"

It's so true; after vaping for 2 months I can't stand to go near my smoking wife.

I have been vaping since last July and at this point I cannot stand the smell let alone the taste of an analog, and I smoked for 29 years!

I smoked for 35+ years and after vaping for 8 months I can't stand the taste or the smell of an analog . Last time I tried to smoke a cigarette I put it out after three drags and started looking for my PV.

Good for you! I guess that's one good reason for not going back to cigs. Once I vaped, the cigs never tasted good anymore.

What... do you have a headace?

I know the feeling I was out the other night with one of my friends who smokes. After a few drinks I bummed one from her. The Marlboro light tasted nothing like I remembered it; it tasted like I was licking an ashtray. I did however enjoy the lightheaded feeling I got from it. I can say that now being three months smoke free I will stay that way, the cigs just taste gross now.

 

[unsure]

Same here. Went to Indian Bingo and sat with a friend in somking section and it stunk...then after a boat load of smokers asked about my eGO they tried to get me to try a analog....no way!

 

[doxzilla]

Yeah, analogs taste like crap to me now too... It's like I'm on one of those smoking cessation drugs that makes my brain hate the taste...

 

[ExFumidus]

He he ! ... It's just like they say : "Ex-smokers" make the very worst "anti-smokers" !

I too cannot believe I enjoyed the taste of those damned analogs for sooo many years ??? They really do taste damned nasty ! ... And boy do they ever stink ! ... I too have not been able to finish a single analog since. ~ It's just crazy ! How could we have been so damned blind ??? (LOL)

Hmm, been over a month on vaping only and still feel like having an analog. Have not tried one cause I am afraid I might like them and start going back to them...
Cannot stand the smell of ashtray on the table, but like the smell of the smoke when someone smokes close to me.
Still wondering if I should try an analog and maybe get convinced its really crap...

 

[Yankee802]

Yeah, go ahead, I tried a few days ago, smoked half and tossed it, I'm done. You should do it so you know and can ease your mind. Trust us, you wont go back.

If it gets too bad, head over to the smokeless section of the forum. Around 20% of all vapers need more from tobacco than nicotine; and quite a few hit that wall after 4-6 weeks of vaping only, too.
But there are considerably better and safer supplements to vaping than analogs.

I just did it two days ago, and I was genuinely astonished to discover that I could not finish a single one of my once deeply beloved cigarettes. 8-o

And I’m talking about a 30 years, 3 pack-a-day love affair.

 

[macscac]

my wifes mouth smells like a 70 year old grandma's ashtray.
its frigging disgusting.
i wont kiss her untill she uses mouthwash

 

[RoKeM]

I use to enjoy the occasional cigar when I smoked, tried one the other day and had to put it down! The taste was not as I remembered and it kept burning my eyes. I felt like a kid trying his first cig.

To be honest, this is part of the reason I tried. I figured, "I smoked 20 of these each day for 3 years, so if I do get addicted again, whatever." I couldn't even finish it. I enjoyed the FIRST hit, the taste of the tobacco, the feeling, but after about the second or third puff, I had a really nasty taste in my mouth, "like an ashtray" - as they say. I kept going, but put it out before I was done, brushed my teeth, twice, then listerined, then got my vape.

I HIGHLY recommend you go bum a smoke off someone, you will not go back...

 

[mn shutterbug]

I do bum one off my mother once a week. It doesn't taste very good, but I still do it and smoke the whole thing. However, I am in no way tempted to have another. I don't exactly find it gross, just not really enjoyable, but I do kind of like the hit.
