I'm a new member here. Before I joined, though, I found every question I had would lead me here for the most part. All the info has been very helpful. I am now analog free one month to the day. I took the fam on a cruise last month. The wife told me I wasn't smoking on the cruise. I was very anxious about how that would go down. Figured I'd be sneaking off to burn then chewing a crap load of aspartame filled gum and washing my hands and face a dozen times to try to rid of the smell. Hours before we left oklahoma to drive to Galveston, I stopped at one of the many vape bars here in town an picked up a starter kit and some juice. Didn't take any stinkers with me(accept my daughter). Fortunately my crappy mt 3 held up all week with no problems. I thought I would only like tobacco flavors since I loved smoking, but found I enjoyed a sweet concoction I had brought along. I would go to the bar for a beer and sit along side the smokers, but never even attempted to bum one. Just kept vamping my ... off instead. It was so freeing I couldn't believe I went a week without smokes. I smoked for 22 yrs never quitting except for when I slept. I ha tried vaping before, as my brother is an avid vaper and mod builder, but didn't think it was for me. I had really wanted to quit analogs so I could see my kids grow up as I was 35 when my first was born. 6 months ago I started smoking only organic tobacco and started feeling a lot better but the wifey was pressuring me to quit something awful. I also play guitar at my church, and I always wondered if I smelled like a dirty ashtray when id walk in. I'm sure I did. Anyway I always hated everything about smoking. Just couldn't kick it. I had the leftovers of a pack when I returned from said cruise and smoked them the next Monday at work. It just wasn't doing it for me. That was the last time hopefully forever I touched one. I feel victorious like I wrestled a demon and won. I did however get the dreaded vapers tongue after 2 weeks. That was annoying. I think I overdid the flavor I was on. Taste buds are starting to come around again. I now switch my flavors constantly. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Thanks again. God bless.
