7 years and still going....

I just realized yesterday was the 7th anniversary of my smoke free life. That very first little 180mAp battery with atomizer and cartridge that held a few drops of e-liquid convinced me that this new fangled electronic cigarette would actually work.

It didn't take me long to upgrade my equipment. Each new item re-enforced my belief that I would never light up another smoke. I was one of the fortunate ones that was able to instantly go from smoking to vaping. I bought my usual 2 cartons the same day I bought my first little kit. Never did smoke any of them. Hubby did but I reserved 1 pack. Kept it in the freezer for a very long time. One day hubby was out of smokes. I remembered them so dug them out for him since I knew for a fact that I would never smoke them.

Last year I was gifted a Dragon Provari. I finally understood what everyone was talking about and now that is all I use. I have added a few more to that first gift and can truthfully say I no longer even look at all the new stuff coming out. Once I found what worked perfectly for me there was no need to look any farther. I top them with gs-air mini's filled with e-liquid that I make myself. It is the perfect set up for me.

At my age I know I won't live long enough to vape as long as I smoked (45+ years) but I feel sure I will live longer and healthier now that I no longer smoke.

Congrats. Happy Vapversary. I just passed the 6-year mark - former heavy smoker and I went right to vaping, too. It's a great feeling!

That was my fear for the first 2 or 3 years. I would occasionally get an urge to try one just to see if I was totally over them but fear of a relapse kept me from doing it. I haven't even thought about smoking one for a long time now. Congratulations on giving up the smokes the second time. I have heard that it is harder the second time so pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Thanks. That's good to hear. Actually it was my wife who started again and when I caught her I got so cross I went and bought several cuban's and that's what started me off again. I was worried about giving up again too but actually it was easier than the first. I seemed be able to just pick up from where I left off. Congrats again for your far stronger willed quit PS. Don't try one they taste horrible!!
