I never thought it would work. I'm 35 and have smoked analogs since my teen years. I was around 11 when I tried my first cig, that my best friend and I stole from her mom...
As an adult, I was smoking anywhere from 1/2 to a full pack a day. Ugh. Sore chest lots of times, cardio exercise was difficult... I knew I had to quit.
I have tried the gum, the inhaler thingy, and cold turkey. Nothing has worked thus far, and I go back to the analogs within a day or two. The closest I came to quitting was in basic training. I didn't get a smoke break for 3 days, and I was so busy I didn't notice. When I got that break finally, I shouldn't have gone outside....
I received my kit 9 days ago, and those first two days, I only smoked 2 cigs, and then 1 cig, and then zero.
I don't want to vape forever, but I really enjoy it, and have not craved one cigarette. I started with 12mg. I plan to vape less, then step down to 6, and then hopefully nothing. I don't vape in places that I didn't smoke, because I don't want to add bad habits.
Now for all the happies: I detailed my car inside and out, as there were ashes and stink everywhere. It's so clean inside and feels like a brand new car again. Since I don't have to fumble with flame, I can vape with the top down, and not worry about burning myself, or worse, my leather.
My chest is not sore anymore. My throat gets a bit dry, but that's okay. I haven't done any cardio this week, so I don't know if that will be better.
I had terrible PMS when I made the switch, and my moods swings were no worse than normal.
I have much MUCH more energy.
I don't smell of cigarettes anymore. I was always self conscious of that, and would wash a hoody if I wore it for only an hour, just to get the stink off.
I'm sleeping great!
My teeth feel so much cleaner, and maybe it's my imagination, but they look a bit whiter.
I have lost 3.5 lbs this week. Maybe it's dehydration, maybe it's completely unrelated. But I'm not craving sweets anymore due to my yummy juices. Sweet things actually taste a bit too rich now... No matter why I lost it, I'll take it lol.
Thank you all for welcoming me into the community here. It seems there are a lot of awesome people. I have been lurking for the past couple of weeks, and so glad that I joined.

You will totally hate the smell of cigarettes and wonder why you even started them in the first place. Remember drink plenty of water. I have been 100% analog free for 8 months but been vaping off and on for three years.
