Haven't smoked in two days, I feel great!

[dyanaprajna]

I remember tasting things that tasted different after quitting smoking and now some of the things I used to like I no longer care for any longer.

Yeah. I'm a big Mt. Dew drinker, and I liked the generic Walmart Mt. Lightning version. But now, it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

Congrats Tehcrs. I'm a noob also and my story is weirdly similar. For the first time ever I didn't have a cigarette on my drive to work (dunno why), when I got on the bus to enter work I could smell every smoker that entered the bus. I thought to myself, "wow, that's what I smell like all these years!" I went the next day to the vapeshop and bought my first device. I have cheated back with smokes every once in a while, but have noticed when they're not readily available I don't miss them. It's funny to see, but out at my workplace smoke area (avg. 40 people), 30 are vapers.

Why hello there everybody!
I haven't smoked a cigarette in two days and I feel awesome.
I smoked for 15ish years and recently smoked 20ish cigarettes a day.
Two days ago, saturday morning, I would sit on the couch and do what I would do every morning; have a coffee and smoke a cigarette, when pretty much out of nowhere I decided to visit my local vape dealer and get some advice on e-cigarettes/ vapes. Dude knew what he was talking about and an hour later I left with an eleaf iStick Pico and 6mg nicotine liquids 70 (PG)/ 30 (VG). I paid $30 more for the vape than I would have online, but I his advice and knowledge are way worth the $30 so I'm not even mad. Hell, I would've smoked that money in not even four days.
Yesterday we attended our friends' son's baptism and out of the 20ish people there at least half of them were smokers. I didn't touch a single cigarette and to be honest I didn't even have a craving. I still can't believe it really, as I would love and enjoy my cigarettes.
Right now I'm in the office and my work buddy and I would always smoke together on our breaks. So today will be the next challenge but I have a feeling I won't fall into relapse. Why would I even?
I don't even any side effects thus far; no coughing, no spitting, no nothing and generally I feel super.
I'm already looking for which parts to upgrade in order to make this an even better experience.
I can't wait for taste buds and my sense of smell to recover. And I love smelling my hands, because you know.. They don't smell anymore.
I'm not even sure why I'm writing all this.. I'll keep this updated.
Cheers and keep vaping!

Welcome and glad you joined. Starting out with sub ohm'g with vendor assistance is worth more than double the $30 more you spent. Most beginners fail vaping properly with that much wattage/sub ohm's to begin with.

Hey there!

Two days have passed and I'd like to give you guys an update.

First of all I'd like to thank everybody for their kind words!

I still haven't touched a cigarette and I didn't even crave one. My SO still smokes (doesn't intend to quit, but that's fine - to each their own) and I don't even mind her smoking next to me in the household. I also don't have any issues at work eventho half of my coworkers are smokers.

A week ago I couldn't even imagine quitting and at this very moment I can't even imagine going back, it's crazy really and I don't understand but I'm glad it is how it is.

People kept telling me to quit smoking for years and I would never listen. I think I just can't handle people telling me what to do.

I'm already vaping less than I would three days ago. No idea if that's a good thing or not.

Well, thanks again for listening and I'll keep you guys up to date.

 

[tehcrs]

Well, sup?

It's me again with another tiny update. To this day I haven't touched a single one of the stinkies, and I'm so effin proud!

I would be sick with the flu the past couple of days which I think was a mix of the actual flu and some sort of special "I stopped smoking flu". It's been odd.

I have recently switched to an RTA (Geek Vape Ammit, great tank!) which has made vaping even more of an enjoyment, plus I have also switched juices and do now vape 80VG.. I love it.

Well, that's it for now. As I said a tiny update.

Vape on!

 

[RelativeBewt]

congratulations! i hope you stick with it, you will keep feeling better as time goes by

 

[frosc]

congrats on getting off the stinkies! i'm quite new as well, been off the stinkies for only around 3 weeks, I feel a lot better. Keep at it!

 

[tehcrs]

You too, man. Keep it up!

Its great that vaping is working for you. Its amazing how the way your treated in a vape shop makes all the difference. I've been in some shops that a snot nosed brat was forced to put the Iphone down so I can inconvenience them for a few minutes with a question. 70pg juice IMO is a bit sharp and can hit you good on the back of the throat especially with a good delivery system. 50/50 is a bit smoother, 60vg/40pg is a nice ratio for taste and vapor.
Enjoy your journey....

 

[tehcrs]

You're absolutely right.. I personally always judge a business by their service and their customer support, especially after sales. My local vape shop has been doing a great job and I can always just come around and even just hang around for that matter. I would be there last saturday and spent four hours sitting, vaping, drinking coffee and eventually buying a few things. It just feels right.

I've also recently switched to 80VG Juice and it makes all the difference in the world. Good stuff!

That is awesome to hear. I stopped cigs and started vaping last week and am so happy about it too!
