    Hello from the land of the flavor ban

    Hi Jim and welcome. Weird times we're living in right now.

    How old were you when you came "out"?

    I guess that we comparmentalise our lives? Anyway, thanks for your comments here -- perhaps others will join in to the discussion.

    How old were you when you came "out"?

    Yeah, me too! I come here periodically just to check, but usually nothing. That surprises me.

    Hi from Spain...

    I reinforce the idea of using a higher nicotine percent. I started at 36, then 24 and now at 18, which is the highest allowable in Europe now, from what I've been told. The people I know who have had trouble sticking to vaping, and still have a few cigarettes a day, all use a very low nicotine...

    Welcome! Thanks for the introduction.

    Can it really be this easy?

    I had a similar experience -- shockingly easy due to the evolution of e-cigarettes. Good that you have a back up -- it becomes too easy to blame the equipment. I always have two batteries in use, and a new one ready to replace if one stops charging. Congratulations!

    Two Year Anniversary

    So, another year without smokes. Feels great! Don't miss them one bit, and I vape just about as much as when I started. Life is so much easier when one is not chained to cigarettes. One thing that bothers me a little right now is that Europe seems to be lowering the nicotine content in juice...

    One year anniversary

    I'm sure everyone does this, but add me to those who have passed one year of vaping and are extremely happy with it. I was talking vape with a woman I'd never met at a party today and her husband said, "you guys who vape are like those who love whiskey or football, you can talk about it all day...

    Vaping for a while, went back to smoking, and back again..hope I'm here to stay this time.

    This is exactly how I feel -- we've just made a major change in our habits moving from analog cigarettes. Why make it harder by taking out the nicotine as well. Nicotine is basically harmless and my body is used to it. I have been smoke-free for almost a year, and have continue to use 18-24%...

    New to vaping

    I go through about two 10 ml. (2 bottles) a day. Every once in a very long while I'll smoke a cigarette, but they just don't appeal to me anymore.

    New to vaping

    Nah, but I pretty much chained all day long! I've only had six cigarettes since January 4th, and I'm using Nicotine 18-24%.

    New to vaping

    Welcome and congratulations! I also started smoking as a teenager and was smoking four packs of Marlboro Reds a day when I converted to vaping almost six months ago. As someone told me early on, its not the cigs you smoke, its the ones you don't smoke. It is a decision you will never regret.

    Giving it a shot

    Great decision. Good luck.

    Hi, new to this site. looking for closest e-juice to Marlboro reds

    I was a Reds smoker as well, and I settled on something called Havana, which I gather is supposed to taste like a cigar, but I find that it's closest to the taste of what I chained for forty years. I vape a 24% nicotine and enjoy it more than smoking.

    Day Two

    Hey Tckenno, Yeah, we're the new class, and I feel like I'm in good company! I haven't yet tried going down in nicotine level, and right now its not even a goal. Right now I'm pretty much vaping constantly, unless its just not possible. I got a box mod last weekend doing 9,0 watts and still at...

    Day Two

    It's now been 87 days without cigarettes. Hooked on blueberry 2.4% currently, but will probably get tired of it at some point. Still using the same set-up, but as the batteries get low, I'll likely look at something new. Vaping is SOOO much easier than smoking, and I get absolutely the same...
