Welcome to ECF, Frank. I was a 39 yr smoker, and also flabbergasted to find that vaping REALLY WORKS! Ain't it great?!?!?!

Welcome Frank, so glad you won the battle. We've all been there and it feels great. I smoked over 45 years and quit in 6 days, thanks to vaping. My lungs have never felt better.

Welcome my friend. İt is fascinating indeed isnt it? For all those years desperately working at least to decrease the number of the coffin nails with no luck and suddenly the e-cig. incidentally I noticed more old people are inclined to vaping and adopts quicker than young ones. I think this is because we suffered more. they think they can cope with. nearly 3 years of e-cig after more than 40 years of rolling cigarettes. I cant stand the smell now as the geek says "how can you smoke this ....?"

Welcome! 60 years of smoking here. Been off tobbaco over a year now due to vaping and haven't looked back. Good on you!

Hi and welcome Frank. Started with evods after 55 years of smoking and gave my cigarettes away the next day. Moved to box mods and kayfuns and have been happily vaping since.

Welcome to ECF Frank

Fantastic !!!

Smoked for over 40 years here...Over 5 1/2 years since I smoked a cigarette.

It's a shame this wasn't available a long time ago !

Just getting into vaping after smoking more than 50 years. For me, it is really a great move, and I don't miss cigarettes at all. Tried patches, gum, pills, nothing worked until I bought a plain and simple EGO with a plastic tank and some tobacco flavored e-juice at 28MG. Gave my cigs away the next day and haven't smoked another one since!

Finding there are a LOT of options out there and most are confusing. That's why I am here at ECF!

Bottom line is "this actually works. Averaging about 10MG juice now, and slowly getting into DIY mixing and improved hardware as I gather most folks do!

Wow, 50 years! Way to go , and welcome to ECF.

Yep. I don't really mind cigarette smoke now, I just don't need it! You are probly right about more seniors moving to vaping now. Its easy to feel invulnerable when you are young.....as our peers start dropping, that feeling tends to drop off a bit.

Yep. Very similar experience for me. Stayed with the plain jane ego deals till I felt I was really truly off the cigs. Once I moved from the tobacco juices and had to get some pyrex / glass tanks I, too started improving the hardware.

Yep. I strongly agree. Neat thing , for me, is two of my doctors also agree! They won't say so in public, but both said so to me in private. One with a big grin and handshake!

For me, it was beyond easy, the first time -- I barely even noticed that I had gotten to 1 cigarette a day, for 3 days in a row... figured if I could deal with just one a day, I could probably deal just fine without it, and I was right. But after my appendectomy, summer of 2014, had a month-long relapse, and coming back from that wasn't easy at all, it took a real effort of will -- don't kid yourself thinking things like 'well I did it once, I can do it again' -- you can, but it's a LOT harder. I had to keep reminding myself that it really was possible, and that I really did love being a non-smoker for the 3.5 months I was, before the appendix threw a fit, so I managed to make it back to smoke-free. 14 months now.

Welcome to the vape fam. It's so much easier on the body than smoking I find.

Good Work! Vaping works!

I love reading stories like this. Congrats to you, sir.
I've been vaping for 6 months after smoking for nearly 20 years. Gone from 12mg nic juice to 9, to 6, to 3, and now down to 1.5mg nic DIY.
It's a hobby as well as a smoking cessation tool. Looking forward to my first cloud completion later this month.

i smoked for 31 years and spent a lot of that time wanting to quit . tried the gum patches inhalator etc and failed, then i got into vaping and eventually after trying a few times with better equipment i did it. started with the dse 801 pen style
. when i got to the ego style that was it i had got it licked .
