22 days now!!! After 40+ years of cigs.

[Newwell]

I bought e-cigs on a whim because we wanted to be able to smoke at my daughter's house (Hubby & I went outside in the cold & rain to smoke). We really didn't intend to quit all together, just to use them as a substitute. But once we started vaping & ran out of analogs, we just quit cigs. My hubby & I have both smoked over 40 years, ended the 1 1/2 pad financial pit. We've saved over $260, already paid for the initial costs + several new ejuices, and still are in the "profit" column. Haven't been coughing, don't stink anymore, & the house smells good. I am so thrilled I ran into e-cigs. This past weekend I actually realized that I can sing & hit the high notes again.
Thrilled!!!!!

Again, congrats to you and your husband!

That's great! Both of you too. Wish I could get the GF to switch, she stinks of cigarettes. Congrats!

Congrats on 22 days! You will find that your new hobby is much more fulfilling than your previous habit. Take it one day at a time and if you happen to slip don't be to hard on yourself...remember it's not how many analogs that you smoke...it is how many that you DON'T!

 

[bigtiime]

So good to hear you're both doing so well! Singing is good!

Feels good, don't it?

 

[Newwell]

Thanks everyone for your encouragement & kind words. It feels great not having to arrange my time around smoking. Where we live, people are curious & welcome us to vape away. Makes our lives a whole lot easier.

We are using 808's @ 280mah. 808's satisfy the hand/mouth urges. We are pleased with them. I do have a question, would upgrading to XL's that are 380 mah last longer? Our kits came with manual & auto batteries & I prefer the manuals.

Again, thanks everyone!!!! It's another great day in the neighborhood.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

WOW I was also a 40+ yr smoker and I congratulate you. Vaping is just too incredible an experience and am so happy for you. So nice too when I see couples vaping together. Here's some battery info:
All approximate
100 mah= 1 hour vaping
So 380 mah would be close to 3 3/4 hours but realize the performance suffers after 50% discharge.
Happy Vaping, Vapoor.
Most batteries drop off in performance at 50% discharge

[cactusgirl]

Yay, congrats to both of you on making the switch!!!! And welcome to ECF!!!

 

[Trucapri]

I too thought e-cigs would be a substitute for a non-smoking trip . . . haven't had an analog since!! Congrats!!!!
