My goal was to be free of the addiction to nicotine. There is no question that a replacement will alleviate the cravings, but you may never eliminate them with a replacement.

Congratulations to you. E-cigs are clearly a better alternative to burning tobacco.

If you get motivated to get off nicotine completely, I recommend the book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking. I've been nicotine free for almost 3 months and I feel great about it.
