I totally agree, the thought is worse than the reality. I had some just in case cigs stashed and had to get rid of them, became mental torture. Now they are gone and I feel much better. They do say it is harder for people who cut down as the few cigs you do have become more special (in your mind) but most who vape seem to find the few cigs seem to taste vile. My friend found her "emergency" 2 ciggies in a kitchen cupboard about 2 weeks after quitting them full time. She thought it would be a shame to waste them so lit one up. Decided immediately it was completely disgusting and that was that! She says she'll never be tempted to go back. That's brilliant, I was the other way unfortunatley as deep down I didn't really want to quit(do now and have done) so put myself through the mental torture of go on, you know it's vile but it's what you do Sharon, you smoke cigs. My book has totally removed the mental brain washing and now I have no desire at all, at last..lol It seems a lot of vapers can take at least 3 months before finally removing the fear of not being able to have a cig, and do both. I can understand why as everyone is different and has a different degree of brain washing to sort out. I am still around 4mls a day, I think. @whisher this book might help if you feel you are struggling imagining quit the last few cigs. www.gobookee.net/allen-carr-easyway-to-stop-smoking/It help to remove the fear and makes you see you are not giving anything up, but just quitting the slavery of cigs. Hope you find it helpful.

Totally agree with the last two posters. I was half using my SD keyring and half smoking cigs. Did that for a few weeks then one night realised I only had one ciggie left. Decided to smoke it so I only had my e-cig to use until I left for work the next morning. Told myself if I REALLY needed a cig, I would buy some then. When it was time to leave for work I realised I actually felt okay, and told myself I'd wait until lunchtime to buy cigs. Lunchtime came and I still felt okay so said I would wait until my way home to buy them. Three months later, I STILL haven't bought that pack of ciggies!! Just try it for one day and see how you get on. I totally agree, the thought is worse than the reality. I had some just in case cigs stashed and had to get rid of them, became mental torture. Now they are gone and I feel much better. They do say it is harder for people who cut down as the few cigs you do have become more special (in your mind) but most who vape seem to find the few cigs seem to taste vile.

I have followed your thread and think you have made the right choice, it will get easier. Do you think you will go and visit him often? We had to do the exact same thing as you two years ago, so I totally get how your heart feels like it is breaking, visting and checking on him often helped us.

Started off with a ce4 kit which is being passed on but thanks to much lurking and research on here I have seen the way of the shiny Just need to decide on a regular flavour for my protank hence the variety of different 'tester' flavours. Leaning towards blueberry as my main vape ATM but will see how it goes as I've got 15 flavours to play with. Rather enjoyed apple pie and custard too. Maybe a few more custard type testers are needed lol Wondering if I should give the iclear30 a blast that came with the MVP or pass it on to someone who wants it. Anyone got any opinions/ advice on that front? Cheers Richie Give the iclear30 a blast, I love mine. If you blast and no likey then pm me and I will buy it off you if you want rid. Just be careful filling and you should get a warm gurgle free vaporfull vape.

Hi jordan and welcome I used the top dual coil, iclear 30, and have not found it a problem being near my mouth heat wise. The bottom coils give a cooler, smoother vape and the top coil gave me a much warmer vape, which I personally prefer. I think it's horses for courses really, just a case of preference. I know evods and pro tanks have been recommended but dreamylittledream got a Davide recently and he loves it.

I'd say that instead of her going back to smoking, it would be far better for her to start vaping Me too. I know folk might think well at 75, what the hell,but with her heart condition smoking might make stop her reaching a very, very ripe old age. I hope everything turns out well all round for her and her hubby, I really do.

Love your post, I totally get it and feel the same.
Vaping is for me a safer tool to use to deal with my nicotine addiction and am so grateful for the invention of it. Not something I can ever see as a hobby (not a gadget person) not really worried about latest flavour juices as I never smoked for taste, would have smoked old rope if it relieved my nicotine craving. I totally get how vapers love the hobby and trying the latest new thing side of it, but I'm just happy to vape like I smoked and glad it's no longer actual cigs.

Well done to him.
Am constantly telling the girls hard work does pay off, as your son has proved. I will tell them his results for inspiration. Are you guys going to do anything to celebrate?
A young man in our villiage started at Cambridge last year, he absolutely loves it so sounds like it is a fantastic place to learn.

LOL. It's not gross. I brush my tongue every day. Thinking about it. The doc has given me this mouthwash stuff that leaves a strange taste in your mouth and makes you feel numb. It is probably that effecting my taste buds. Yes it might be that. Oh it makes me heave, mind you swallowing a painkiller does too..lol I love the maker of dissolve on your tounge painkillers.

Not quite. Heads are hear. But the taste buds are still on holiday. Things to actually have a faint taste today though lol. I don't vape flavour (just usa mix) but can imagine it's a pain when you can't taste your flavour, a bit like when you have a cold and you can't overly taste the food. Fingers crossed the tastebuds will be back on track soon. I know it sounds gross, and I actually heaved while doing this myself ( I hate anything touching the back of my throat); but have you tried using a toothbrush and brushing your tounge? I read it removes the build up of e liquid from your tounge. When my usa mix starts to taste almost just like grease/oil I do this, it does seem to work for me.

Hi
I can offer encouragement. Very likely you are craving a cig as you are not getting your usual dose of nicotine (if you are finding vaping a struggle) I imagine the nicotinefix needs fully filling and your ssubconscious is saying ok, the only other way to get it (as it matters not how) is a cig. Q thoughts of having a cig. Don't give into it if you can help it, or if you do don't beat yourself up. See it for what it is nicotine addiction having a tantrum in your mind.
Hope that helps.
