Oh ok.
Yes you could just make a big batch.
Rob let me share something with you about my quitting smoking. I had quit smoking for over a year with vaping, and then something strange started happening. Every 3 months or so, I would get this huge craving for a cigarette and no matter what I did or how much I vaped, it wouldn't go away until I bought a pack of cigarettes. So I would buy a pack, smoke like 2 or 3 cigarettes and then throw the pack away. The after another 3 to 4 months the same thing. Here is how i stopped it. This is going to sound unorthodox but hey it worked for me. I would get and RDA, (rebuild-able atomizer) and drip 18 mg e juice in it and take 3 to 4 drags at like 50 to 60 watts. It would make my stomach hurt, and give me the craziest head-rush. After that, the cravings would go away. I had to do that for almost a half a year, then finally, those 90 day cravings went away and now I vape exclusively. It actually took me almost 3 years to stop smoking altogether. If you find yourself slipping and you smoke a cigarette every once in a while just remember this and don't be too hard on yourself. It's not about the cigarettes that you do smoke. It's about the many that you don't. Good luck to you on quitting!
Congrats
I'm at 29 days today no cigarettes. Thanks

I've been that route of needing a cigarette and relapsing, I know better now, So I keep it in my mind that I can't have a cigarette no matter how bad the urge, but if I do get the urge I'll remember what you posted.

Good job! You've picked a great time to start vaping. There are so many excellent products to choose from. When I started , about 6 years ago, the only thing available were little cigarette look alike that were way over priced and produced little vapor but enough to make me see this vaping thing may work. Well it did! I think the last cigarette I smoked was about 5 years ago and all I remember was how sick I felt after a couple drags and for the rest of that day all I could smell was that cigarette. Anyways, again congratulations!
Congrats on 5 years smoke free! I tried the blu ecigs awhile back and couldn't get into them. Then I saw a basic refillable ecig at a smoke shop, bought it, filed it up with some cherry ejuice and been quit since then. I quit smoking cigarettes for a year in 2014 to 2015 using a nicotine inhaler and man did it suck. It was so boring and hard to do, you inhale just nicotine, no vapor. The Vape has made it much more enjoyable to quit. And the feeling of a throat hit is amazing with vaping. I had no problems this time giving up smoking. Vaping is a great alternative.
Great to hear....it only gets better....!
Oh, and Congratulations on your one month being smoke free....!
Congrats guys!
It's been one year for me since my last cig as of last week. I went cold turkey and that worked for a while until I had a nice expensive cigar at a wedding. I went from one cigar a week to about 2 a day until the fiance said to me I might as well just smoke cigs because the cigars are more expensive and probably worse for me in long run. I know she didn't want me to smoke again so I grabbed a Vuse cigalike from 711. After about two weeks I was using two refills a day for the thing at $7 a pack and realized big tobacco was in my wallet again. Grabbed a sub-ohm starter kit and will never go back to any tobacco product. Now using a kanger atty and a cuboid and I like it more than I ever liked smoking. If the FDA really cripples this industry I hope we take to washington or beat them through the courts because its going to force alot of people back to tobacco.
Congrats and keep up the good work. After 50 years of stinkies, it's been 17 days for me. I know that this time with vaping I'm done with them for good.
Congrats on the switch. Moving to the vape pen style I think makes quitting much easier. I was in the same boat, started with the cig-a-likes and they were better than nothing but not quite enough. The additional vapor/taste from pen styles really helped cut back the desire for me. Although I think it's a bit of a natural progression, had I skipped straight to a pen vape it might've been too much or overwhelming since vaping isn't really the same as smoking. There's an adjustment or learning curve involved at least for me there was lol.

It took me about the same amount of time to finally quit the cigs. I dual used until the "sub ohm revolution". Once I got my first sub ohm tank and got used to lung hits, I haven't touched a cig since. It's been just over a year now and I know I'm definitely off the cigs. My wife still smokes and it's hopeless to try and get her to vape. I've tried since I started and it's more of a novelty to her. However, we sit on the front porch and chat every evening and not long ago the wind was blowing her smoke toward me and I got a "craving". So I asked her for a cig and lit it up and took a puff...
thought I was going to puke and coughed for the next 5 minutes. YEP, definitely done with them for sure 
Keep it up! I smoked for 14 years and my wife smoked for 30 and we quit together about 6 years ago. Unfortunately as pack a day Marlboro red smokers my wife now has COPD and pulmonary hypertension in her lungs..
If I may give you some words of advice I would say don't just quit for you, but do it for the people who love you now and for the people who are going to love you in the future. Life is so very short, cherish it.
