    At what point is somebody really a non smoker?

    Seeing as how it took me from December 18, 2009 until September 25, 2011 to completely make 'the switch' to vaping, I have to say I stopped smoking long before I 'knew it'. After my last analog (9/25/2011), I think I continued to be addicted to the nic for another 18 months. That's when I...

    4 yr+ off cigs success story

    Great post, Swede! Like you, I found relief via Ego batts and clearos (then stardusts, followed by Evods and Protank II's). Although I've been vaping for almost 5 years, I'm coming up on THREE analog FREE years next month, and I owe it all to improved hardware! :) I love my MVP, and am now...

    8 months now finally 6 days free

    WTA for a few months did the trick for me. You're gonna be fine, I sincerely believe! Did you order from Aroma, or did you find another supplier? (I probably would like another sample for special occasions. :)

    8 months now finally 6 days free

    Forgot to say, I had half a pack of Winston light 100's on my desk for a year and a half. I was planning on keeping them as a momento of my last smoke...but I seem to have misplaced the pack. It has been lost for over a year now, but I don't even miss it. There was a time, I couldn't be without...

    8 months now finally 6 days free

    I'm extremely PROUD of you, Charley! I think you hit the nail on the head. It IS A matter of "choicex" for the first several months...at least it was for me. Having a satisfying level of nic was probably most important at the beginning, because my taste buds were all messed up for the first 6...

    Vaping and drinking..

    I tend to increase the nic level if I'm gonna imbibe with friends. Also having a good and nasty tobacco flavor sometimes hits the spot in that setting. (Mostly I vape Black Licorice or Blackberry Champagne flavors these days. :ohmy:)

    Trouble Dropping Nic Level

    Ditto comments above! Slow and easy wins 'the race'. Remember the turtle and the hare? By giving my body the time 'it wanted' at each level, my body actually gave ME 'signals' to lower the nic. Currently, I mostly vape '0mg', but it took me 2.5 years before my body suggested it. Even so, there...

    355,875 analogs later...I switched to vaping. How many did it take for you?

    It's not...but it is. ;) That's about 375 packs...37.5 cartons. Not bad at all. My totals come to about 17,794 packs...almost 1780 cartons. :( I wonder how many square feet that would equal? I'm not sure I like the direction of this thinking...except that I QUIT! :D

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    Thanks everyone for all your kind comments! Let's STAY HEALTHY! :)

    Problems with Protank 2 after Dry burn

    Sometimes adding a 2nd silicon cap on the post will stop the leak, but like another poster above, I suspect the flavor wicks are shot, and need to be replaced. Experience also has shown me that coil heads sometimes come loose when unscrewing the bottom piece. Check for tightness of the coil...

    My cardiologist asked me, "You've never smoked, right?"

    We have returned to ICU every 3 months, to express our gratitude for the tender CARE the nurses gave my friend...and ME...during that terrible ordeal. While he was in ICU, nurses regularly told me they NEVER see patients again, once they leave ICU. I told them, "WE will be different...we WILL...

    355,875 analogs later...I switched to vaping. How many did it take for you?

    Jeeezzzz, WillyZee..........I didn't start smoking like an 'adult' until I was 27. Yet, I remember when I was a child of 4 or 5, that my father, uncles and grandfather encouraged me to take a drag off their cigs. Most of all, I remember puking over the side of the porch after trying ALL their...

    Is a REO or PROVARI really THAT good? 3rd 'smoke FREE' anniversary coming up!

    Like the title says, "Is a REO or Provari THAT good?" I'll be celebrating THREE YEARS smoke free on September 25th (the day I got my Ego-T in the mail with 24mg nic e-liquid.) I already HAVE a number of mods, but I seem to prefer my MVP over everything else. I really enjoy clouds several times...

    I am SO jealous! It took me so LONG to make the switch completely! Even so, you beat me in number of 'coffin nails' consumed. THANK GOD (or whomever) we have a much healthier alternative! Life is GOOD! Let's get some MORE of it! :)

    Am I the only one who hates the term "Analog" ???

    Jeeezzzz...I don't know HOW it happened, but you just reminded me that MY GRANDFATHER made his first 6" black and white television from an oscilloscope, following a course from DeVry Institute. He also made my first AM radio (in a homemade wooden case), a real TELEGRAPH, and a telegraph...

    LOL I tend to agree, TCM...but I'm just goin' with the flow of ECF teminology...weird though it may be. :D (I also have problems with calling my device 'APV'. I prefer the acronym for 'Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhalation System'...but that never took off for some reason. :blink:)
