Yesterday marked 4 weeks since my Joye 510 arrived 
I bought it to use when we cruise and thought husband would appreciate my using it when driving in his car with him since he gave up smoking years ago. "If" I really liked it and decided to give up the analogs and only vape that would be a bonus, but not the reason I purchased it. The day it arrived I decided to take the advise I'd been given to only use the e-cig for a few hours to get used to it so for the first 4 hours vaped only. To my great surprise when I lit an analog 4 hrs later I really didn't like the taste. I'd also been told, but had a hard time beleiving it that it would be better if I didn't use tobacco flavored juice to start with to make it a different experience from analogs so I ordered Mango, strawberry, and apple cinnamon to start with. Also was advised to start with 20 mg strength nicotine instead of the 10 mg that more closely resembled the ulta light cigarettes I'd smoked for 30 years (2 pacs/day). I was really surprised that in the first 8 days I only lit 1 cigarette a day 7 out of those 8 days and most of those analogs I put out before they were actually finished as I really didn't like the taste. There is obviously more than just nicotine in those analogs that helps keep us addicted because for that first 8 days I really did crave an analog about an hour after I got up in the morning, midafternoon, and in the evening but most of the time I was able to vape my way through that craving. 
There's been a couple of times since that 8th day that I did think I'd like to have an analog but I reminded myself of how bad the last few I had tasted and pretty soon that feelings passed. Now the thought of having an analog never crosses my mind.
My first choice of a Joye 510 was a good one for me. It fits my needs with the exception that the regular standard batteries that came in my kit just don't hold a charge long enough so by the end of the first week I'd purchased some 510 mega batteries and I'm much happier with those. Week three I decided to purchase a 510 PT(and 5 Volt 2 amp AC to USB connector) and I love it. I just ordered 2 more so I will have one in the house, one in the car and the third as a spare when I need it at some point. I also ordered extra attys and batteries so I'm stocked up to last for a while. Four weeks in and so far all my atty's are still working. (fingers crossed!). I blow them out every few days and I do an alcohol soak once a week and leave them to dry overnight. On Friday I went on a Fluval hunt and found some at Petco so I've now got cart filler to last me a LONG time !
I bought e-juice from each of the 4 vendors I purchased hardware from and while most was ok, it just wasn't what I was really looking for until my order arrived Friday from VaporBomb. I've now found my exclusive e-juice supplier ! The CinnaBomb is wonderful by itself but also great to add a few drops to some of the other flavors I've bought from other vendors that just don't have a lot of taste to them. I'm loving their Fuzzy Naval and the Blueberry. I haven't tried the Pina Colada I ordered yet or the Passion Fruit free sample I recieved but I've already decided on the next flavors I'll be ordering. I'm working on downgrading from the 20 mg of nicotine that I started on down 12 mg nicotine. While I seem to be doing fine with it I do notice that I'm using more juice than I did when I was only using the 20 mg. My goal at the moment is to be only using abt 6 mg of nic by the time I've been vaporing for 6 months but we'll have to see how that goes as I'm not going to rush that process.
Its crossed my mind to order some ego batteries for their battery life but with the PT's to use when I'm home by the computer and driving in the car for now I'm just staying with what I have already invested in.
Its been a great 4 weeks journey. Hard to beleive that it was so easy to stop using analogs and totally switch to vaping when that wasn't my top priority. Yes, I'm still using nicotine but I notice a big difference in that my breathing is so much easier without any tightness in my chest any longer. My sense of smell has improved although I'm hoping there's still more improvement yet to come. It nice to know I no longer stink from the smell of cig smoke and as I clean different areas of my house it smells so much better smoke free. I also notice that if I'm unable to vape for a while I don't feel that "OMG I have to vape!" like I used to feel that "OMG I HAVE to have a cigerette"
