30 days in, and I don't regret having switched to vaping. Today I went for a nice long cycle without feeling out of breath.

Smokers cough completely gone, and I have a new zest for life.

These are my observations in the my 1 month of vaping.

  1. Its very easy to quit analogs effortlessly.
  2. You feel like a new man.
  3. vaping to me has become a hobby. I've never been much of a guy for gadgets. But I'll often research differant types of PV's. Even if I can't afford to buy every PV out there, I enjoy knowing what tech is available.
  4. I've tried dripping, cartridges, cartos, LR atties. And I'm still undecided on if there is 1 exact winning formula. Every method has its strengths and weaknesses.
  5. LR atties have a way of tasting amazing 1 minute, and burnt the next. They also use a lot of juice.
  6. I can get the same vapor, if not more out of a regular Hello Ego (NOT HELLO 016) than any 5v mod vid I've ever seen using standard 650mha batteries.
  7. I think vaping is more expensive than regular analog smoking. Mainly because I used to buy cheap russian imports. But every component on a typical e-cig is replaceable. Some models improve on this for example the 905 which has a permanent housing. But the typical model is a battery, atty and cartridge or cartomiser, not to mention ejuice. Since everything is replaceable, the costs add up. Another thing is buying the wrong PV upfront (like a greensmoke) can end up costing you double. But I also think that eventually you find your sweet spot, and your monthly costs should decrease. My Hello Ego is that sweet spot.
  8. Vanilla juice does not taste like Vanilla ice-cream. And it sucks. It could be the most disgusting juice I've ever tried.

The following is my personal experience, regarding the costs, can you really put a price on your health?

Try never to run out of supplies, because if you do, you're still a nicotine addict. You'll be climbing the walls for a smoke. My idea is to gradually reduce nic levels over a period of 3-5 years.

And lastly - thanks to this great community for answering every question I've had over the last month. You guys are awesome!

Congrats on your 30 day mark, Oz. I have vanilla flavoring, but like you I don't really think it's very vanilli...my bad:closedeyes:

I had given up on that great vanilla taste until I tried Vanilla Custard. Woooweee! It's perfect!

I just ordered some more vanilla type flavors-sweet cream and vanilla bean ice cream, Perfumer's Apprentice flavorings for mixing with PG or VG nic juice.
