well!! Think of this, I've been smoking for more than 45 years-- started with camel non-filter shorts, drafted in 69 joined the Navy (submarines) --every one smoked in the service back then ( camel non-filterer on base was 90 cents a carton yea 90 cents for 10 packs of camels ) -- got out Navy then went back in the Navy switched to reds after say 10 years of smoking the camels-- 84 switched to lights -- Retired Navy 94--- played electrician after retiring from the Navy--- 2000 switched to ultra lights--- I think You get the picture by now!!-- fast forward to late 2012 went to gas station to buy carton of silver 100's ( that the wife and I were going through every 3 to 4 days) the casher said would you like a disposable e-cig for 10 cents? for 10 cents I'd watch a monkey,,,,, -- fast forward-- Super Bowl Sunday ended up staying home--- (picture) the 10 cent E-cig laying on the kitchen counter, lets try this, Well this is not to bad,- puff a little more- puff a little more. (Reaearch, Reaearch,Reaearch) -- Ordered the couples kit from V2cigs on the 3rd of Febuary-- recieved on the 6th about 1330 (1:30pm). Pluged it in turned it on-- I have not had a real cigarette since Febuary the 6th at 2:30pm, I Can say that once more, ( the wife mabie 4)-- Wow Wow Wow after >45 years of smoking this started with a 10 cent E-cig-- the cost of a pack of camels >45 years ago when I started -- I can't find the words to say how I feel, I but I think a lot of people on this site already know what I really wont to say.

Last night (Feb 9th) I had few cool one's took the trash to the garage--I had a full pac of silver 100s in my tool box as backup--open the pac took one out looked at and talked my self out of smoking it--as long as that pac is in my tool box the temptation is still there-- Today Feb10th) was in the garage, my eyes would glance at my tool box, so took them out and rip, tear, distroyed-- in the trash they go it was almost like putting down a pet.

So now we vap and learn.
