Hi ya'll. Pretty cool starting another day not smelling like an ashtray. Kinda still somewhat surprised how easy it's been to stay off cigarettes. Hell now they stink when I smell someone smoking! Like others nothing I'd tried in the past had to quit had succeeded. And honestly hadn't even tried to quit again for around 30 years. Going from pack and a half+ a day to zero instantly verging on miraculous to me!
I'd been researching a couple months talking to a few different people who'd quit smoking via vaping and decided to go for it. Nothing to loose and my lungs were doing nothing but getting worse smoking! Learned enough to not start with those crap ecigs in stores etc. So 2pm Friday June 16th, 2017 put out what would be my last cigarette before walking into a local vape shot on a mission.
Ask if they had the SMOK Stick V8 I'd planned to start with. (not the baby stick) Yup. Paid twice the price as online and didn't care, wanted to start vaping NOW! We discussed my 48 year Camel filter (last number of years Blue 99s) smoking habit and decided to start on 6mg (not 12mg) Western NIC Turkish Blend. Figured could go higher if needed, they were open for another 7 hours lol. Like the Turkish Blend a lot, a nice slightly sweet pipe tobacco smell and taste. Still using it and Debi likes it too a plus. Day five mixed a 30ml 3mg with 6mg for 4.5mg which still on. When this 60ml 4.5mg gone plan to drop to 3mg. After that who knows.
I've been asked if I plan to quit vaping too. I doubt it! Almost half a century hand to mouth habit it is satisfying quite nicely and my lungs already SO much better! Hell I didn't quit smoking because I didn't like smoking but because it was killing me lol.
Oh the same day I started with the SMOK Stick V8 from the local shop ordered a 2nd online that night. Half the price of course. Arrived yesterday. Have a backup now so don't have to worry about an unexpected failure etc. Overall very happy with the SMOK Stick V8, seems a great starter kit as I was told it would be. Though first few hits after charging overnight seem a bit harsh compared to rest of the day...
So already it's getting a bit worse. Ordered a SMOK GX2/4 last night to play with/have better burn control...and if I do get into massive cloud silliness it'll likely be up to it no problem with max 350w if running in 4 battery mode lol. (no offense intended on the massive cloud silliness comment, right now my shot lungs are about staying off cigarettes)
Anyway I'll quit rambling. WAY happy I took the vaping leap of faith!
