2 weeks in and I'm pleasantly surprised

[Jackospades]

I have been smoking a pack a day for at least a decade. I figured I would never quit the sexy Marbs. I essentially accepted it as part of living. I reall did think they were yummy.


Well, I was wrong. I got my vape starter kit with the intention of quitting. I have been vaping faithfully for two weeks solid with great success. I have wanted a Marb but I haven't NEEDED one. I have been putting myself through the paces.

vape in the morning instead of smoking : Easy
Vape while drinking: Easier than I though (Awesome)
Vape after a stressful day: Not a problem

Here is the kicker, I figured I would put it to the real test.... Do I even like smokes anymore?

So, tonight I fired up a Marb and went "...., that thing tastes terrible" Sorry for my language but thats exactly what I thought/said. Not gonna lie that I am pleased and shocked. I fully expected to have an orgasmic "AHHHHHH gimme more" type moment when I took a hit from a Marb. Wasn't even close to that. I was super grossed out.

Thank you to everyone who gave me pointers when I asked question. I appreciate it way more than you know. I'm over the hump and won't be going back

Good vapes to everyone here,
JS

had close to the same experience. the next day after getting an ego i had two with coffee and vaped all day. that evening after a meal i tried one more and put it out halfway. grossed out, it had no taste to compare. i made the decision then to quit and make dec. 1, 13 to be my first smoke-free day. happy vaping all!

I was considering that 'real test' thing. Trouble is I'm too mean to buy a pack, and if I bum one I'll feel bad about never intending to return one to the bumee. Maybe one day.

I'm still afraid to do the "real test" thing. Haven't had any real desire go back and don't want to do anything to mess it up.

Yeah, I don't see the need to "test" myself. I will say when I am around smokers, it smells awful, so there is that.

Congrats! It's really amazing isn't it?

I remember back when I would try to quit with gum. I would go as long as I could (which was never very long). When I would finally cave in and have a cigarette it was like, "ahhhh, nirvana!". So good. Such a relief. After getting my starter kit, I had vaped most of the first and second day, and felt pretty good (it was a little cigalike, so not super effective). I decided to light up a cigarette, as I had never really intended to quit. I absolutely did not believe ecigs would work for me. The cigarette was nasty, and there was not a bit of that nirvana feeling that I used to get after abstaining before. Completely shocking discovery! I haven't had or wanted a cigarette in the over 2.5 years since.

i never smoked so much i was a one pack per week type of guy but I did experience the same thing one time i ran out of juice and wanted something to smoke I was so grossed out couldn't finish the cig and im so glad i made the switch to just vaping

I did the same thing as the OP. I gave myself a week of straight vaping and then had a stinkie as a comparison. Right then and there, I confirmed that I was truly a non smoker.

Totally agree with this. Trying to quit without vaping before I always wanted to go back. Even the smell tempted me! Now it just smells terrible and burns my nose.

I always see it as let the smokers get their fix through a deadly method that smells like Satans junk, I'll get mine through a delicious and clean vape
