Update, I joined here the same day I began vaping. April 17th, 2015.
My last cigarette was Friday, the 17th prior to entering the Vape shop.
For who is reading, my set up that I purchased is a Kanger Subtank Mini
with a 50W Eleaf Istick.
I began vaping leaving the shop.
I am hoping my (update) post will encourage readers here who are contemplating vaping.
Possibly you may have tried other alternatives in the past: to quit smoking.
That what you tried did not work, or you found yourself in withdrawal hell, or both.
I began smoking 29/30 yrs ago. I started out with Marlboro Gold 100's.
I transitioned 5 yrs later to Marlboro Lights, Parliaments' non menthol, to
Marlboro Special blends in the last year.
I smoking a pack to a pack and a 1/2 a day depending on daily life.
I liked smoking, It found me very well for many years. It to begin to take it's
toll that my smoking was no longer enjoyable, it to be pure addiction.
I tried Vaping for the first time April 13, 2015. My first Vape felt like Christmas.
I knew instantly this was meant for me to try on my own. I to purchase my set up
on the 17th.
Friday at 1:30pm was my last cigarette. I vaped for the rest of the day, evening.
I woke up Saturday to find myself yes craving a real cigarette. I did light up.
Within one inhale, I gagged. It was beyond awful. I put it out. I did not take a 2nd hit.
I in the past have tried the patch, epic failure. It made me sicker than a dog.
I have attempted to quit many times. Never Quit trying to quit. I to go the cold
turkey route many times. Always to regress, revert and begin smoking again as nothing
seemed to supplement, and I mean nothing. If you have ever been smoke free for a substantial
amount of time, meaning more than a day. The difference is noticed, within the mind/body, in the process of
not smoking. ( not speaking of withdrawals)
Possibly this is why the Vaping worked for me as a miracle, not a cure.
I wanted to quit smoking, I simply didn't have the energy to put forth to go through the
withdrawal process for the 4th, 5th time. It's mind bending, withdrawals for myself were
horrible. Where you no longer identify yourself as being a human being: BAD
Vaping for the first 48 hours. I felt like I was chasing my self. I felt that I was missing something.
I wasn't missing anything, it was bottom line, for me. "This cannot be this easy"
When is the shoe going to drop? When is this going to become ineffective, that I revert.
It did not happen. I have not had any symptoms of withdrawals. I am vaping at a 12 mg of Nic.
As I am typing this, I am 100 hours " Cigarette Free"
My body is detoxing, this is a fact. I am having issues with sleeping, not insomnia
but difficulty in deep sleeping. I find my body temp is running up and down. My body
is eliminating the toxins through my pores, this I noticed after 48 hours. The toxins
are coming out in some very interesting odors, the chems/metals purging themselves.
I noticed too my gums are irritated. Nothing huge, simple noted irritation.
Day Three Sunday Evening, watching TV, my feet began to twitch, I began feeling the sparks of circulation
in my feet and toes. The other which is or isn't, I think it is. I have experienced hand finger
tremors for many years. They have all but ceased since I've been Vaping.
My hands are steady, my fingers are of a tighter grip. This an unexpected welcomed side affect.
My taste buds are pretty much going wild. My appetite in the first 48 hours, increased rapidly.
I actually was a bit worried, as the hunger pangs were fierce Friday/Sat late night. This not a direction
I wanted to go into. By Sunday " day" my appetite pretty much stabilized itself.
It's now Tuesday, 100 hours Vaping, I do not own a scale, I know I have lost weight, prob 3-4lbs.
I can tell by mirror view and by my jeans. Lots of activity going on " within" that I do believe
my body temp is higher, my metabolism to increase, this being the how of dropping the pounds.
Nothing to Complain about. Not one thing. For who is reading, this is my experience so far.
I can only speak for myself.
For the skeptics who are reading, the only suggestion I have for you that will cost you nothing.
Research online to see if you have local Vape shops and or retailers near you.
Go to a Vape Shop. Call ahead if it's unclear, ask if they have " Testers"
They will provide you with a set up, a sterile tip, you to try Vaping yourself.
Put your attention on the Vaping experience more so than the actual flavors /e-liquids testers.
Do not base your experience on, if the Vape shops e-liquids testers do not suit your flavor factor.
Not all e-liquids are alike, our tastes are not all alike. We all have our
preferences. Trial and error, this why Testers are the way to go. I went to a 2nd Vape
shop, yesterday. I cannot express how this shops testers differed from the 1st shop I went to.
Try Vaping - This is your first step, now that you've read countless posts by persons sharing.
This is a fast pace new industry that is going to come with positives, negatives and neutrals in
reactions within newcomers. (Myself being new). I do believe Vaping is here to stay, yes.
You to actually try Vaping, if you're confused, join this forum, there are endless people here
of solid knowledge that will answer your questions. They are here to help you.
For myself so far, Vaping is a life beginning experience
I wish for all who are smoking to " simply gift yourself a one stop at a Vape Shop"
Try it, you have nothing to lose.
