3 months of vaping...after 30+ years of smoking

[eddiea]

Greetings everyone! I started smoking cigarettes back in college but haven't touched one since I started vaping on July 11th of this year...so far so good. I was curious about ecigs for a while but never looked deep into it until my co-worker brought me to a local vape shop...from then on it was on! What's interesting is that I never intended to actually quit smoking 100%, but I've been vaping ever since and it turns out that I no longer have the urge to light up a cigarette. I still have half a carton of cigs sitting in my freezer and I've had no urge to touch them. I've collected a fair amount of hardware over the past 3 months, tried a wide variety of juice, and also started to mix my own juice. My daily drivers are:

Tanks (I prefer these because of the flavor output and rebuildable coils):
Kanger Protank 2
Kanger Protank 2 Mini (I have 3 of these so I can have more flavor options ready to vape at my leisure)
Kayfun Lite Plus v2

Mods/Batteries:
Innokin MVP v2
Innokin iTaste VV 3.0
Kanger EVOD Twist

I have other hardware but I use the above daily. I have a dual coil Protank 3 Mini but prefer the single coil. I also have a dual coil Innokin Gladius which I've converted to a single coil.

I vape max VG because PG makes me nauseous, and I've recently started using organic extracts/concentrates in my juice.

All-in-all my experience continues to be enjoyable, and it's turned out to be a hobby for me due of the wide variety of hardware and juice available. Participating and seeing how the ecig industry has evolved is interesting to say the least.

I've found this site to be very helpful/informative, and it's interesting to read everyone's experiences. This forum rocks.

Cheers!

Hi, satisfying equipment and Vape rock.

Thanks Kemah guy. How are things there in Kemah...I know lots has changed since the last time I was in your neck of the woods several years ago.

Wow...just WoW!

I was a 40 year smoker and after my first 3 months, I was still using a cig-sized with cartos...and moving up to my first ego-sized battery. Of course that was over 2 years ago, but still you are way ahead of my beginning schedule.

You new guys have all the great stuff we could only dream of back in the good ol' days.

Congrats on your 3 months, and enjoy the journey.

Same here man, I put in 8 years on the death sticks(I'm only 24 so that always seemed ridiculous to me), started vaping a few months ago and I'm never going back. Happy vaping!

Hi eddiea , welcome and great to read your story.
I will mention it to someone I know to show it can be done.
