How long do the tobacco cravings go on for???&&**%%$$££++

[RunAway]

Afternoon all; I've only been vaping about 58 days now, enjoying the vaping definitely and lots of health benefits, but still find myself craving REAL tobacco not all the time but a fair amount!! I won't go back into full time tobacco smoking again as too much of a health killer, but I sure do dream of lighting up a good strong pipe tobacco every other day!!!! Just can't get that smokey satisfaction from vaping 100%%%%. How long if ever do the tobacco cravings last? Probably permanently right?

I lost my need for tobacco pretty quickly. Days in fact, only falling off the wagon when several bits of kit failed and I had no spares of spares of spares.
Others are different though. Some struggle for example with smoking that early morning first fag of the day. Some 'dual fuel' regularly ( there is a poll somewhere here on that). Time will tell I guess. In my experience as long as the nicotine craving is satisfied, the need or desire for a smoke diminishes. In my case very quickly. And that was after 35 years of smoking a lot

Once I got used to the difference in vaping to smoking, I found the physical craving for tobacco went because I was getting my nicotine fix. From smoking, I found that initial rush and hit where vaping is more gradual. I had to change my daily routine, as it was much more prominent when I woke up.

For example, when smoking, I used to: -

Wake Up
Stretch
Yawn
Scratch my Nuts
Have a Piss
Walk downstairs
Make a Coffee
Sit down and smoke a fag or two!

Vaping.

Wake Up, have a vape
followed by everything else......by the time I sit down with a coffee, all cravings have diminished.

Now, if the cravings are still there, I would suggest that you raise your nicotine strength, and if that doesnt work, I suspect its the psychological cravings that you are encountering In which case I would look at some of the liquids by HOL, as they are by far the nearest you will ever get to the taste of tobacco

i found that when i first started vaping though i didnt really crave a cig i did only vape tobacco flavours and it took me a good few months to try other alternatives out there. Now several months on i cant stand tobacco flavours ( hate the smell hate the taste in my mouth of them ) and i now vape alot of fruity stuff and menthols and stuff like squid ink, very berry cool, swedish fish, ornage tic tac, minty the toff, snake oil etc . i think if you can ween off th tobacco flavours first it does make the craving go away as you begin to enjoy vaping for vaping and not as a tobacco replacement

I pretty much switched over night but for the first week or two I had to have my first morning fag

I'm still finding it hard not to light a large pipe bowl full of sweet aromatic tobacco after a good meal!! To be totally honest I prefer the taste of pipe tobacco to eliquids! I can forget the cigarettes quite easily they mostly taste crap anyway, even when I was a heavy cig smoker. But to me pipe tobacco is more tasty than ejuice. But of course all tobacco is a health killer, so that is why I choose to vape now, no other reason. Not even very keen on all the processes of filling with eliquids, washing out tanks, charging batteries etc etc....

Maybe I'll become more keen on vaping as the months go by....and forget tobacco.

Not wishing to put a downer on anything. I'm over 5 months in now and only think about having a smoke now and again. Quick vape and it's gone (24mg) normally on 18mg.
But my old man packed up over 20 years ago, and he has said, in the last year, can't remember when. That he still thinks about having a smoke on the odd occasion. But never does.

I've tried a few tobacco juices from hangsen i think it was, not too good, i've ordered a few tobacco juices from bestcigliquid around xmas time not sure when i'll get them. It seems you cannot make an account with bestcigliquid, or am i mistaken? Ordered anyway about 5 tobacco juices from bestcigliquid, might help.
