I've smoked at least a pack a day for over 25 years. Sometimes closer to two packs a day.
In 2011, I joined this forum after my parents (both ex-smokers) suggested that I look into vaping so I can give up smoking.
I made the decision to purchase e-cig from Modern Vapor. I went with the SideSho Supreme Kit.
I vaped heavily for a while, but I still craved cigarettes. A lot.
Eventually, I gave up on vaping for multiple reasons. The SideShos just didn't do it for me, not to mention that they leaked e-liquid onto my lips and caused me to (non-fatally (duh)) OD on nicotine every time I used them.
So I went on smoking. And smoking. And (((COUGH, COUGH))) smoking.
Then, a few weeks ago, I noticed a vaping store that opened recently very close to me. I pondered whether or not I should go in there. I hesitated for several weeks, then finally made the leap four days ago (five, actually. It's after midnight).
The very friendly clerk (is that the right word in this case?) offered up an immediate suggestion when I asked what the best starter vaporizer was; the Innokin iTaste VV V3. It also helped that another customer was in the store at the time (this was five minutes after they opened) and they suggested it, as well. So I bought it.
I had five cigarettes that first day after purchasing it. The next day, I had eleven analogs. But something changed that second night. I decided that I was going to have my last analog just before bed, and never smoke tobacco again. So I went to bed, woke up, and vaped. The next day I had ONE craving for tobacco, but after making my mind up that I didn't need to go back to those, I haven't had one since, and I haven't craved them, either!
That's how I know it's going to work this time!
I go outside with my husband when he smokes, and I just don't crave those smelly things anymore. They're actually starting to really bother me when I get a whiff of my husband's. Still, I go outside out of sheer boredom with my surroundings. I used to go outside to smoke tobacco every half-hour or so. Now, I'm inside for hours on-end. I need to get out more!
So, while it's *only* been a little over 48 hours for me, I'm still considering myself a success story, if only because I'm not even craving tobacco anymore, and I'm more than happy to vape in its stead, as well as the smell of analogs kinda making me sick to my stomach now.
Still, wish me luck and continued success!
P.S. I can't say it's cheaper yet as I've spent a ton of money on batteries and mods and juice over the last five days!
P.P.S. I'm sure it will get cheaper.
