45 years of Smoking

[midnitte]

Started vapeing about a month ago, I smoked about 30 cigs a day up until I started vapeing. Still smoking but down to about 7 a day so for me that's pretty good.
I hope over a while to quit ciggies all together as health and cost of smokes not worth it.

Good for you, before you know it you'll wonder how you ever stomached those old things.

i was over 30 cigs a day and started to vap 3 + weeks ago i have lite one smoke since and have put it out because it did not taste good to me anymore my cherry tabbaco juice does the job, the trick is find a juice you luv and like me the urge to lite a real smoke fades away because you get what you need from the vap and the juice is so injoyable that my urge has completly faded, i have also found that trying new juice is a fun and tastleful adventure lol keep it up thats great that you r 23 smokes less a day way to go.

Welcome.

I was a 3 pack a day smoker and smoked for over 40 years. I slowly weened down over a period of 4 to 5 months before giving up the cigarettes, and have been over 2 weeks without one.

The trick is to find a rig that gives you a consistant and satisfying enough hit. For me it is the ProVari and cartomizers.

You are doing good so far so just keep going in the right direction.

I smoked heavily for maybe 6 years, and once I started vaping I had to quit, it made my vape taste bad =>

Hello midnite and welcome to the forum! Good job on the reduction. Just keep substituting vapes for smokes. It will get easier as time goes on. What are you currently using for vaping?

 

[midnitte]

I bought the VK Deluxe Starter Kit, and just learning which one juice will be best for me, always smoked the 16mg ciggies so have to get the right taste and hit that will allow me to quit smokes altogether.
ps thanks for all the feedback.

Wow-that's an amazing story! Congrats. As a 20yr+ cigar smoker who has been vaping now for 3 years, I have found that my tastes have shifted to preferring vaping. I mix my own eliquid and use natural tobacco extraction to make ejuice that keeps me liking vaping. I extract from cigars themselves, and one cigar provides me with enough concentrate flavoring for about a year of vaping. You might want to try NETs made from cigarettes to complete your transition.

Even without that though, your transition is quite astounding!

Welcome to vaping. I smoked a pack or more a day for 42 years. Tried all the patched gums and even hypnosis. Nothing worked. A friend at work showed me his Ecig and I bought one the next weekend. I took me only 4 days to fully migrate to Ecigs only. That was 3 years ago. This varies for a lot of folks so don't be worried if you still have a regular cig once in a while when first converting. It's perfectly normal. I still enjoy vaping tremendously. I currently save over $2,000.00 over what it would be costing me to smoke analog cigarettes. I feel better physically, don't get winded and don't smell like a stale ashtray. I credit vaping with saving my life and not dyeing from a related illness.

Not sure how much smokes are there but if I had avoided 144 cigarettes, that would have cost me close to $au100.
