Bought a little kit at the smoke shop last Friday, on a whim, id been wanting to quit. I tried a cigarette look alike with prefilled cartridges a few years ago and didnt like it at all. tried chantix and had freaky dreams and felt weird on it. patches, gum. probably sounds like a lot of peoples stories.
The kit i bought is a 650 battery and a clearomizer, with a little charger and a tiny bottle of "classic tobacco" juice. I also picked up two packs of camels. Got home and tried out this little vaporizer with the stock juice and it wasnt all together terrible, better than the one id tried before, i starting thinking i might be able to give this a go. Then i got online and started investigating.. right off i knew i needed to get some better flavor. Found a local vape shop where i could try some different ones, .... out in Phoenix.. went there Saturday, and found some PB&J flavored juice.
At that point. i knew they butts were gone, for good. no more buying smokes. The two packs of camels were gone by Monday morning.. vape only since then and i dont even miss them. sure for a few moments here and there.. catch myself looking for the familiar box.. but the vapor stick is right here and a puff on that and im good to go.
Today my sample pack came from Goodlife. good stuff that. Deadly Sin, El Kamino 925 very yummy.
Kicking myself now.. what have i been missing out on.

Anyways.. happy to be here, happy to see so much support for folks quitting the smokes. seeing all the enthusiasm and reading people success stories, that helps. im sure 8 weeks will come, then 8 months.. and on.

Have you experienced any withdrawals yet? There will be some from all the toxins from cigarettes but it's way less than stopping cold turkey.
Not so much, i did quit smokes cold turkey for two years about 20 years ago, nothing like that. not many quitting alternative then. I have noticed i wanted to shower a lot this week, i chocked that up to getting the poison out. :)

That's good you're not having withdrawals. I didn't notice wanting to take more showers but I was a little more {MODERATED} for a week or two. :laugh:

The kitty stays in the bottle. I'm holding him hostage. Sorry....:)

I had two packs of Parliament remaining in my carton when, like you, I picked up vaping on a whim one weekend two month ago. By that Monday I still had one unopened pack left. It now sits on a small shelf 10 feet away from me, to where I periodically shoot it an obscene gesture with one of my fingers, as I wait for it to decompose from the ravages of time.

Hearty congratulations to you.

CONGRATS!!!! Crazy how after all the attempts to quit smoking, people usually still think non stop about analogs but w/vaping, it's like "analogs who"? Enjoy your freedom from the cancer sticks!

BTW, I don't miss the analogs at all, but stupid habits creep back. Just this morning, coffee in hand, went out to the garage to my "smoke area" looking for my lighter and pack of cigs! I didn't want the cigs, it was a habit. Went back in, got my Trition and had my Torque morning..life is bliss.

Thanks, i did have the thought on the last unopened pack to keep it around and after a year sink it in lucite and make a stand for all the mods i get between then and now. but then i smoked them. oh well. they are gone now and im still 100% smoke free, so still working fine. Im really liking El Kamino juice. smokes never tasted this good.
