Extreme Newbie.....just now VERY FIRST VAPE!

[Robino1]

Ok, just got the material read.....very hesitant about how it was to be put together....picture WAY TOO SMALL in the manual. Filled the thinga-ma-bobbie. Scared to turn it on...didn't want to blow it up or anything, ya know?!?

Went back here before turning it on to see if I could get a picture...no picture with out other things that I don't have (just basic kit stuff)...but did find a video, sorta, kinda. Said what the hell and jumped in.... First "puff"..hmm nothing much. Turn voltage up..(eGo C Twist) ok a littler more vapor. OOOOOHHHH Yeah...I forgot...draw on it at least 5 seconds.....OMG I am a vaper!!!!!!!!!! Ok...time to play with the flavors.

Wish me luck...taking it out tonight actually to our fav watering hole.... along with back-up batter and other misc flavors.

Thank you all for letting me lurk to learn. You have no idea how much all of your posts helped me learn about vaping.

[TarFreeMe]

You'll be a pro in no time!

Enjoy and good luck!

Congratz and keep true to vaping and your body will thank you. I know mine does when I am digital. I hate these dayum analogs.

 

[Robino1]

Just noticed, the manual is for the eGo T. The parts are eGo C. Oh well....got it figured out anyway.

Thanks everyone!

Hubby is the one to suggest this ecig deal. He is excited LOL probably more than I am. He is a non smoker, has never smoked and has never tried them. He was surprised when he walked into the kitchen and there I am puffing away blowing clouds of vapor and he isn't smelling a thing! The only thing he said was "be careful you don't OD on the nicotine". Gotta love that man-o-mine! I do know that I need to drink lots of water........ gonna be tough since I really don't like to drink water. The only time I really drink water is when I am at practice, for the vocal chords, and when I am drinking at the bar. Oh well another learned habit and not a bad one either.

Great first review!!

Welcome to vaping! enjoy the ride!

 

[AzVitesse]

WELCOME, Robino1! You're going to love it here almost as much as you're going to love vaping!

 

[steved5600]

Congats welcome to the Digital world . LOL I'm going to use more than one flavor now that I am getting my taste buds back. Free at last free at last. LOL I don't plan on quitting so I think varying flavors will help to keep it interesting.

 

[singu]

I'm happy for you. It only gets easier with time to so keep it up.

my friends all coughed the first time they used my ecig. after a few nights of some sweats and a little anxiety as i processed whatever by products in cigs...vaping took over. stick with it!

Congrats Mrs. Robin!

The cool thing about the water is A.) We ALL should drink way more of it than we do and B.) It will help to flush out all the nastiness from smoking, getting it out of your system that much faster!

The difference in the way I feel in just the last 60 odd days since I quit smoking & started vaping is INCREDIBLE!

Remember! When you start to jones for a cigarette - You don't need to smoke...You need to VAPE! You are NOT jonesing for a smoke! You are jonesing for nicotine...the E-Juice will provide it to you reliably...all is well.

On the count of three, you will leave your happy place and wake up and start your life as a Vaper. 1...2...3!

Wake up Robin!

That was you're free ECF Hypno-therapy session!

Welcome to Vapeland.

Welcome, that made me remember my first time. I was actually afraid. I kind of hid and went for it. My first thought (that I will never forget) is: 'this could actually work'...and it did as it will be 3 years in January.

Update: When we got to the bar, first thing I did was ask for the manager, a friend that we have come to know through the years going there forever, if it was ok for me to vape in the bar. He said is it smoking? I said no. He said no prob, as long as it is not smoking go for it. COOL! I felt a little weird so I did the "stealth vaping" kinda thing most of the night. I did go outside a few times to really get good vape and had a LOT of people asking me what that was LOL. So I explained it and they thought it was cool. Probably after a while people will get used to seeing me do this and then I won't feel so on display if I actually do throw a cloud in the air. Most know me there as I do get up to sing with the guy that does his acoustic guitar entertainment there every Friday.

On the plus side: did not have one cig the whole night there!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did have one after we got home, before turning in for the night. I'm not quite ready to trust that this vaping thing will let me sleep. The last time I quit analogs, one of the reasons I went back to smoking is that I could not sleep. Serious problem! Along with leg aches.....was total hell. I do have to say, the vaping was definitely more pleasurable

Had a couple of analogs this morning. Yes, I know it is an ongoing process and it will get better for me. I am not going to feel guilty or beat myself up over having them. In time I know I will be able to quit them altogether because I made it through the night, at the bar, drinking, and outside with other smokers smoking and did NOT have a cigarette! HUGE, HUGE, did I mention HUGE?, step!

 

[Swampey65]

Yeah, I have a friend I got hooked up with vaping and he only smokes a cig in the morning with his coffee. He even admits that he knows he doesn't need it anymore, just feels like he has to do it with his coffee. He's starting to think it taste like crap though so, I imagine he's not far from walking away from cigs all together.

For some people it takes a little while. There's a big Psychological fear for many that it just won't cut it...but once you realize the nicotine is still gonna be there for you, just delivered from a diff source; for many that's when it becomes ok to let go totally of the smokes. Like you said, don't beat yourself up, when it happens it will just happen! Everyone's a little different in how they do it.

Amazing thing is, you will grow to dislike smoking after a while. I was a 4-5 cigar a day smoker before I vaped and started by reducing cigars, until 0 was achieved. Funny, but had been off cigars for 6 months when I went to a bbq where friends, who had purchased some very expensive cigars, coerced me into having one. While I smoked it I thought it tasted crappy compared to my vape. However, I smoked it up. After i finished, I started feeling sick. I mean nauseous, sweaty, sick to my stomach. Can you believe this. I smoked cigars for 30 years, and after 6 months vaping, I could not handle 1! Well I went home and felt lousy the whole day, next day I awoke with the foulest taste in my mouth that heavy brushing could not solve. I decided I had my last tobacco blast. If 1 cigar, after only 6 months abstinence, could provoke such a vile reaction in my body, I would never smoke again. It makes me wonder how I ever started in the first place. Vaping never has a negative effect on my body, no coughing, bad taste, froggy voice, smelly clothes, yellow teeth, and fingers, holes burned in couch, etc...and the vape satisfies me completely. Good luck on your new journey, you won't regret it.

As a newb myself, I share in your enthusiasm. Way to go!!! (Your post made me giggle).

 

[Jiggawatt]

It's funny you mentioned "stealth" vaping. I can recall stealth vaping when I first started too, felt weird doing it in public places at first too. Now I don't care what people think, in fact I get more ooo's & ahhh's with curiosity now more then anything.
