today marks five years for me not smoking, July 11 2013 was the day I did not light up for what became five years to date of not being chained to a pack of cigarettes...it all started with a Volcano inferno battery (Ego) and a T3s clearomiser. I had no intentions of giving up the smokes after many failed attempts, and had resigned myself to whatever outcome would be from my continued addiction to smoking cigarettes.

I tried vaping, and thought, you know, this just might work for me, so I went all in on the deal. I was a heavy smoker, 2.5 PAD and am still a pretty heavy vaper, but something happened along the way...I could breath again! In my youth I was an avid cyclist and slowly smoking took this activity away from me...35 years of heavy smoking took a heavy toll on my body, but I must say, five years on the vape and away from the smoke has allowed my body to do some miraculous healing, I got into cycling again, and can ride for many miles now, when just a
few years ago a long flight of stairs was a hurdle...

i cannot say enough thanks to ECF and all those who blazed the path, shared info, and inspired others along the way,for my success in continuing along my own personal journey away from combustible tobacco. If I can do this, you reading this can too, just dig in deep, believe that it can happen, and enjoy the vape, the rest will take care of itself.

All the best to all o' y'all.

Weird. I finally quit four months ahead of you after after a five month brutal battle with their Inferno but the carto tank. Was addicted to their Kona Coffee juice. I think it was here I learned to bump up the nic to 24mg to get over the hump. It took me awhile to really discover ECF (I got lost in the maze of sub forums at first and wasn't used to forums period).

You pretty well reflect my journey, thank you for putting it into coherent words. :nun: Well said.

Hit eBay for another Provari, you earned it! ;)

Huge congratulations! :toast:
