How many times have you switched back to analogues since you started vaping? Here are some quotes from a forum -
“Unfortunately I switch back every morning on my walk to work.”
“Every time I have a cig (very rare), I usually put it out right away. “”
“After about 5 days I tried to go a whole day without a cig and made it and that was it”
“For me, it was more helpful to transition on my own, letting myself make a decision made it easier because every time I have tried to switch, I tried to make myself feel bad about myself when I slipped up.”
“Been vaping for 9 months. Had a drag of an analogue in week 2 and never went back.”
Do any of these quotes resonate with you? No one says you have to stick to one or the other, no one says you can’t do both –but I got curious when reading one of the forums and found that everyone is slightly different. Some people switch to e-cigs straight away and never go back to tobacco cigarettes, finding the taste of them disgusting. Some like to mix and match, and keep it that way, and some find that they gradually transition from smoking to e-cigs without really noticing it.
We all know what we are using e-cigs for, and for each of us it is a personal decision. We are all using this alternative method of assuaging a nicotine craving because of how it makes us feel, for some it is purely an alternative, – to use as they want and when they want, for others they simply go off the taste of regular cigarettes There is no hard and fast rule that says once you start vaping, you are not allowed to smoke, or vice versa. It would just be interesting to know how many of you still switch, for whatever reason, and how often.


I heard about e-cigs, ordered one, tried it and never smoked another cigarette again. That was August 2009.
I know that health claims are contentious – BUT – I smoked cigarettes for 43 years – am now a full time vaper – and just got a completely clean bill of health from the medics! I should know how well I am as after only 7 weeks I’m fully up and running following a hip replacement.
All smokers should at least try e-cigs. They’ve SO much to gain and huge amounts of money to save.
When I got my first TW e-cig kit, I smoked both the e-cig & the analogue but after about 2 weeks I made up my mind to quit the tobacca. I cheated for awhile with my smoker friends but now I never smoke the real cigs & I’m totally satisfied with my e-cig
been useing it since the start of summer 2011 had less than 20 cigs since and no jokes cigs are now rank cant smoke a whole one anymore i stub it out after a few drags and pick up my tornado tank and vape away
I used to roll my own for the past tweenty years from the day a got my tornado I havn’t had one roll up. been vaping now for over a year, I’ll never put all that junk they put those white sticks in my lungs ever again. before vaping I would get exsorsted just getting out and about now I can run if needs be. A’UP won’t be to long before I’m in the gym!
I started vaping about two months ago, just to see what it was like.
Straight away, I found it much more pleasant than cigarettes. I really had not expected this
having smoked 30 a day for over 30 years. A few weeks after starting vaping, I tried a cig to
see if I still liked them. I thought it was disgusting compared to vaping and stubbed it out
after two puffs. I’ll stick to vaping thanks. It gives me my nicotine (which I don’t see any
reason to give up), plus a whole world of different flavours to enjoy!
I’ve been using my tornado tank for just over 6 months, I ordered myself a full kit & my wife a full kit without even trying one before (luckily it worked for me) they arrived in the post while I was at work & by the time I got home my tobacco had just run out so in the house I went opened my tornado tank & away I went, I’ve never touched a real cig since only took about 5 days for the odd craving to go away. My wife still smokes but as cut down & uses her e-cig too, my lungs feel better for it too, I have also converted about 10 other people I know who have taken up vaping & have never looked back & always get people asking do they really work blah blah blah another 12 months or so & I think we will be seeing a lot more people vaping & discussing flavours ect
Smoked tobacco for 55years, tried everything to quit nothing worked for more than a few days, then I found the Tornado from Totally Wicked stopped smoking that day and not had a cigarette since, no withdrawal symptoms, no bad moods just feel great, can breathe easier,and the house smells fresh,just the thought of an analogue turns my stomach.
The best invention of the Century. Just wish I could afford a Bigger battery one.
