Quit smoking symptoms - did you have any? [View all]

OK I still haven't completely quit and it has been over 2 weeks using ecigs. I am ok with that for now, I am down to 5 cigs a day from 20.

I am having headaches every day starting in the morning and by 10am I am popping advil. Did you have headaches from reducing or quitting? Also I am breaking out a little which I have heard is definitely a symptom of quitting.

I bought some 24mg ejuice but did not like the taste and then I broke my spare tank so I have been sticking to the 18mg juice.
