Congrats. I went a somewhat different route. In August of 2012 I finished my last cigarette. But, from then until July of 2013 (almost 11 months) I vaped. My plan was to slowly reduce the amount of nicotine I was putting into the propylene glycol base (this was back when e-cigs were more of a DIY thing than they seem to be now), thus to slowly wean myself from the addiction. I guess it was a factor, but honestly when I actually quit I think it was more of a "I'm tired of futzing with these e-cigs" type thing. The first 48 hours or so I could barely sleep, then it was over.
