Transition from Cigarettes to Vaping

[redrebel821]

If you do get the urge, find someone who is smoking a cigarette and take a couple of sniffs. That will help a lot, especially as you're not one of those people who vapes tobacco-flavored juice (although even that smells better than a real cigarette. Cigarette smoke smells stale and rank to me now even if it is fresh.)

That's so true! I had someone light up next to me on day 3, and I gagged a little...lol

Lol....it's not all that far. As I've learned since I moved here, just say "about an hour" when asked how long it takes to get from point A to point B. I don't get up to to ball as much as I should. I have friends that run a sports bar out on 249. A lot of back road driving in the dark on the way home...and have been stopped twice already when I hadn't had a drink....lol....but I haven't been there since I quit smoking. I should one of these days, and get my friend there to quit.

I'm Dave and I have been reading here for about 2 weeks, and I have to say, this place has the MOST knowledge I've ever seen about vaping. I've been vaping for about 3 weeks now. Week One, I was still smoking and vaping with a Veppo Vault. Small tank, but did the job, and taught me how vaping is different than cigarettes. I knew after about two weeks, and getting "vape envy" at work, that I wanted more. By this time, I was smoking less, and even switched to ultralight cigs. I was snoring less and less at night. I went to my local vape shop, great people, and did some research. I settled on a Nautilus Aspire and iStick combo and couldn't be happier. I haven't had ANY cigarette in over 24 hours, and am loving the whole vape scene. My 65 year old mother, my wife, and my kids are totally for it. I was vaping a vanilla custard last night, and had to go out at 10pm and buy us all cinnamon buns! I remember that last cigarette I had. It was actually kind of gross.

I'm looking forward to learning from you all, and getting the best experience I can!

Congratulations on quitting cigarettes. I'm at 3 months and haven't looked back. Can't even stand the smell of cigarettes now.

I agree. Doesn't matter where you are, or where you're going, in H-town. "About an hour" is the right answer

Congrats OP and JonJ78.
This site is great and full of info. I've been cig free for a bit now and I'll never look back. And enjoy spending the extra cash you'll have from not smoking analogs!!!

Something tells me I'll be spending a bit on vape gear. Being a former smoker AND a professional geek will ensure I over-do vaping! LOL

I'm the same way lol. I already have 4 protank 2s, two protank 3s i use with my kbox and looking to get a subox within the week.

Congrats Dave, and welcome to this great group of people... Glad you have become a vaper.

Ha... one day i took a buddy of mine to get some juice for some vaporizer thingy and i ended up walking out with a SmokTech eGo starter kit and havent touched a cig since! Yaaayyy for Vaping and being (hopefully) a healthy alternative to cigarettes.

Click on the banner and follow the instructions. I don't believe you need to have x number of posts.

Yes, you have to have 15 posts before you get a signature. Or maybe it's 25 posts. I can't remember exactly, but there is a minimum.

Navydavy, i'm the same way. Its still a TON cheaper than smoking cigs. I take everything apart, and "fix" everything, but to that point, I still have saved a ton of cash over analogs, even though I have experimented with my vaping gear.

JonJ78, the Subox is aweome, you'll love it.

Welcome and congrats on quitting the smokes Dave....

 

[navydavy]

Thanks all! I've noticed something this time, more than any other time I've tried to quit smoking. This kind of support here is critical, as well as support from your family. Wifey said she's going to stop by the vape shop and pick out a few juices for me! Woot!

 

[JonJ78]

It always helps me to hear other people's success stories with quitting smoking. With all of the cool gear and seemingly endless flavor options I can't ever see myself picking up smoking again.

 

[navydavy]

That's my plan as well. So far so good. No cravings, no angriness. Just wonderful vaping and a happy wife and kids.

Hi Dave!

I live in Lansdale and also shop at Liberty Vapor(hence my name...give that flavor a try!). I quit 15 days ago but 4 days in a smoked a few cigs and they tasted like ..... I am now 11 days smoke free. I am not so sure I could have quit without e cigs...at least not as easily. Once in a while I will have urges but I just remember how nasty those few cigs were when I smoked 4 days in. If anything, smoking after 4 days of vaping only made me realize hoe nasty cigs taste. It was a fresh brand new pack but they tasted horrible. By the way, some Liberty flavors I like are Purple Rain, OJ's Bronco, Pango and Forbitten.
