Been lurking for a few months, decided to join and post the obligatory noob intro.
Short story, 30 years of tobacco, up to three packs a day for the last 5 or so (primarily working from home behind a monitor). The wife, 20+ years, 1.5-2 packs a day. We've been threatening to quit on and off for years; several failed attempts. Gum, patches, cold turkey ... been there, failed that.
Daughter turned us on to an e-cig (dont recall the name, but she bought at the mall). While not terribly bad, we were surprised and thought it could work. That lead me to some serious research, here and other places. I knew there had to be a growing community and better options to analogs and the kits most noobs become aware of at the kiosks. Found more info than I could digest
To keep it short.
Started with a ego and some juice. We both stopped cigs the day the kit arrived. Not one since for either of us as of Jan 4. Easy enough. Still keep the ego batts charged up and use them for stealth vaping from time to time and as back-ups.
Decided it was going to work and that we would dedicate to it, so we went "Buy Once, Cry Once", a ProVari and a Reo Mini. We trade off, works out well. Still learning to get the best out of the Reo, but digging it. The ProVari is incredible. Tanks, LR carts, atomizers, iKen's 306, Cisco's 306's, Boge, Smok ... no less than 300 mils of various juice samples from several suppliers later....going broke but narrowing down the like and dislikes.
So here we are, smoke free, no desire to go back. Thanks to everyone here for sharing all the excellent info, it made a big difference in our transition!
The negative? I'm feeling the need to collect PV's.
