25 Years and I Quit!!!!

[ID510]

Tried patches, pills, gums and potions...all equally WORTHLESS!!!

Then I picked up a cheap E-cig from a truck stop...a disposable one...took a puff and thought..hey, not bad....so I purchased a kit from a local supplier....

I haven't smoked a real cig in a week!!!

I already feel better, smell better, can smell better, taste stuff better, and my chest doesn't feel like a box of rocks when I wake up in the morning.

Did a little more research on the ecig and of course, worthless bereaucrats are trying to ban and "regulate" the thing...gotta love it...always something that requires "regulation".

Sent a nasty email to the American Lung Association...basically told them that there stance on the E Cig issue is downright immoral...I doubt I'll get a reply.

George Carlin once made a comment in his stand up routine about the "owners of this country".... "It's a big club and you aint in it" So true...

My coworkers love it...they don't have to put up with the smell all day...
And they don't mind me puffing away at my desk....

I love the fact that I don't have to go outside...

Just stick with it...took me a few days to learn the technique and try a few different types of liquid....
I bought 6 batteries, several atomizers and two chargers for my 510....I HAVE to have it around..
No going back to Marlboros for me....

Congratulations on your success.

Good for you! I am at 2 weeks with no cigarettess because of my Joye 510. I had smoked for 14 years and wasted so much money on Nicorette (patches and gum) and they would work only for a few days until I drank or got stressed. I got to the point where I was spending like $100 a month on nicorette and still spending another $100 on cigarettes (I think the gum actually makes you more addicted to nicotine). This e-cig is damn AMAZING!

The gum tasted awefull and made me want to vomit....the patch burned my arm and I still wanted to smoke...
The pills did nothing for me.....

I tried a Marlboro today...tasted like charcoal....I took three puffs and tossed it, then went back to my E cig...
I now prefer it to regular smokes....

I'm 25 years old and started smoking when I was 16 for the last 4 months Ive been smoke free because of the EGO-T and Totally Wicked Tornado Tank systems. I love the flavor so much better and that it's customizable. I love picking out my own flavor of liquid and having it last me for months on end saving me tons of cash for each 5$ pack of nasty tobacco I use to buy every couple of days. I get bigger pulls of my E-Cig and I don't feel lung shot after getting my fit of nicotine. It's truly life changing.

Wow, congrats! I'm just a bit over 10 years and haven't this good in a very very long time.

 

[ardelleg]

Congrats... I smoked for about 45 years and haven't had a cigarette for almost 3 months..... good idea on the email to the American Lung Association, will have to do that.....

Congrats and keep at it. As a truck driver that smoked up to 4 packs a day I can say the change is well worth it. The end of the second week was hardest as the nasty stuff inside me started comming out. I was sick feeling for about a week, starting on the second week. Zits, rashes, mucus cough, sweating, smeely pee, and all my food tasted funny. YMMV I smoked for 20+ yrs, and vaping does work. I started vaping 18mg per ml and now I vape 6 and 0mg all the time. Your sense of smell and taste will come back. The hardest part of the process was finding a juice flavor I liked. started with the 510, then the ego and then the Buzz with cartomizers.

Congrats and welcome to ECF! Isn't it amazing how your life changes when you start vaping?

Good job man!


What i find interesting is how much better things taste and smell after quitting. I was looking for a certain shirt and thought i might have left it in my luggage. When i opened the hanging bag it smelled like i do after using the smoker except worse and didnt make me long for a big hunk of pork.

Good Luck

Sometimes getting your sense of smell back isn't so great. LOL! I live in a building with dog owners, and my next door neighbors have two little dogs. I never realized how bad those two tiny little dogs made the hallway outside smell! I asked some other people if it always smelled like that, and they said no - before it smelled like dog and cigarettes. Now it's just the dog smell. I'm glad I don't contribute to the evil stench in the hallway, anymore! No wonder some neighbors started puting air fresheners out there (not that it helps)!

Good job man!

the patch made me crazy the last time I took it- panic attacks and stuff- and I dont panic- seriously- my kid was bit by a coral snake and I calmly called a friend who is an EMT.

Chantix started making me sick as a dog the 2nd time I took it and by the 3rd time it was making me crazy too-

the gum and lozenges tasted like ick- and were REALLY bad for my teeth.

I bought a gas station POS and never looked back! I have a 510 now, and am IN LOVE!!

I smoked for 20 years and loved it- I really did- I loved the taste, and when I would quit I would sit next to people as they smoked just so I could smell it. (the fresh cig smell, not the lingering aftersmell) Now, I sit beside my SIL who is still smoking and laugh- cause mine tastes like strawberry and hers tastes like tar and rat poison!

Congrats!! and Good luck!!

This was my favorite thing about quitting. Smell and taste came back in about 3 months after quitting. Now 1 full year later I am noticing I enjoy foods and smells that I was not a fan of before. Quitting smoking analogs FTW

Congratulations to all! E-cig changed my life and to all of you. After 36 years of smoking, it took a 510 + starter kit joye a 650mAh battery ego and never put a cigarette in my mouth.
Success to all!
