I'm excited, confident, yet scared. I'm 35, started smoking at age 15, and have smoked 1-2 packs/day WITHOUT EVER TRYING TO QUIT EVEN ONCE! I got a V2 starter kit 2 weeks ago and have gradually weened myself down...late last night I smoked the last analog I had left. I'm making the decision to NEVER buy an analog ever again! I know someone else out there is in a very similar boat, gimmie a shout out so we can support each other over the next 72 hours!!!!!!!!!!
1st day of my life (in last 20 years) without a nasty cig!!

Congrat's and welcome. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you get to a point where an analog seems like you can't do without.....light one up!!! I believe you will find you like vaping more than smoking. Even after a couple weeks the mind likes to play tricks, even though you don't have cravings, there are times when the ciggie comes into play. HABIT...Habit...habit....just have to have some desire to let it go when that happens. Good luck to you and vape on.
What's it called when someone replies to their own thread just to bolster it up to the top for more views?
Congratulations! Download a banner to put in your posts that will keep track of the time, money saved and # of cigarettes you have avoided. That really helped to keep me on track when i first quit.
welcome and congrats! quite an achievement you have accomplished. as far as support goes, keep your nose in this forum...such helpful, supportive, friendly people here. you can do this. i too am a newby (3 months), and am still learning...but not smoking the stinkies! vape on!
yeah thx, but I can't, I have to have 15 posts before signatures and banners...OMG, LOOK!
Congrats and welcome, I got my start on V2 as well. Now 8 months free and haven't looked back. I'm vaping Nite Lite Vapor Gold ejuice and far from nasty, it tastes and smells delicious, at a fraction of the cost of a stinky cig!

That's awesome! You're doing great! Keep it up. If you can get through just a few short days without a cig (and vape your head off), you're home free. I always tell people, you have to truly WANT to quit for vaping to work completely. It's a personal decision. I tried EVERYTHING, even quit cold turkey for months and when I went back to smoking ... smoked more than before I quit. I found vaping is an excellent substitute and completely satisfying (for me) and have been off the stinkies since Oct. 2012. I do think I've finally found the solution and there are SO MANY possitive things you'll start to notice once you've been off cigarettes for a short time. Don't beat yourself up if you have a cig, BUT ... try to avoid them as much as you possibly can and use that willpower! You can do it!!! And enjoy finding "the one" flavor that you love. It's out there, enjoy the journey. You'll be so glad you did this very soon! 
I promise!

Yes there is a minimum amount of posts You need before you can have a signature to post your banner, but you can create one before hand, bookmark it, it will still keep count then when you have enough posts, put it in your signature
You can do it! I am on day 9 without analogs. I love vaping but in truth, I still crave the analogs There are a few things that stop me from giving in and lighting up: 1. I don't really want to smoke, I just want an American Spirit (my old brand). If you handed me any other brand I would easily turn it down! 2. I know that if I have one, the experience will be over in about 10 minutes and I'll be back where I started... wanting another about 30 minutes later. 3. I know it will get easier over time. Someday I will not even think of the analogs.
Hope this helps you some. VAPE ON!

Welcome Over !
Glad to see you joined ECF, and that you have jumped on the big vape machine.
Drink plenty of water ! Vaping tends to dry you out and also you want to flush those toxins out of your system.
40+ yr, PAD+ 'burro red' man...hurts just to type that.
Quit the day (jan 4 th, 2013) I got my eGo-c kit in the mail.
You will feel SO much better in a few short days...you will breath better,
Sleep better, your blood circulation will be better, you won't stink,
You won't be burning up your clothes, chairs or car....or money !
Vape like you smoked- first thing in the AM, after a meal, when you are driving somewhere.
Vape before you have the urge to smoke, then vape some more.
If you must have a cig...have a cig- but I don't think you will like it anymore....
They just taste bad after you vape awhile...they are no longer your old companions.
Don't beat yourself up if you have one...think of all the ones you haven't had !
We are all here rooting for YOU !
(Drink plenty of ice water !)
Best to You !

Thx so much for the kind words.... 4 p.m. would've smoked nearly a pack by now...I'm holding up pretty well though
