Ahhh...not smoking is nice :)

[Worldgod]

Hi all. Have been a lurker fo a couple weeks and have found some wonderful information in the forums. I started vaping and quit smoking on 3-7-11 just over 3 weeks and have zero urge to smoke regs. Trying out new gear and juice has cost almost as much as smokin did so far...once I find what works for me I know I will be saving a truckload of dough! Here in Spokane it's hard to find smokes for under $7.50 a pack and I smoked over a pack a day.

I have already built 2 usb pts. I am close to my puter at home and at work (which is nice, I don't have to go outside to get my fix). The first pt was bigger and had less wiring the second I put an led to tell me when it's plugged in and an led when the button is pressed...not really sure why but it's cool and cost less than 10 bucks to make.

Im sure I'll throw in my 2 cents here and there...thanks for having me.

Oh I have already checked out some stuff...pretty sure that's where the ideas came from...next up is a good all-day-long mod to get rid of my cheapo 510 bats

Yes, it is grand. I've been off cigarettes for more than 14 months now. And, if I stop to think about it, I'm still amazed with how effortless giving up a 35+ year habit was for me. Before vaping, the thought of dropping cigarettes was actually a frightening thought to me!!!
I hadn't planned to stop cigarettes when I ordered my first PVs. It just happened.

However, I don't expect to enter the ranks of "saving money" for a long time (see banner), if ever ...
And, I'm ok with that. I've made it a hobby as part of my escape from the stinkies, and have in mind the medical expenses avoided down the road.

As a vaper, I'm still a nicotine slave. And, I still drink coffee. I put those two things on par, so far as health hazard is concerned. I gave up the smoke & tar, they're the killers.

Yes NCC...the hobby part is very entertaining to me as well..I can't wait to try some other mods and tinkerings. I was a smoker of camel filters for around 25 years and when I purchased my very overpriced 510 setup I didn't know it woiuld just swoop me away from analogs like it did but it DID!

congratulations & welcome to ECF!!!!!! I hear you, it feels SOOOOO good to NOT be smoking! I mean why smoke something that tastes like dirt with mint in it when I can get the same amount of nicotine in something that tastes like vanilla, or cheesecake? On April 5, it'll be 2 months for me, and I don't ever see myself going back to smoking.

I know how everyone feels! I had quit smoking analogs 3-4 times before I found vaping, the day I got my eGo I never picked up another analog. I have half a pack of Marlboro Special Lights on my dresser that I honestly can't throw away, it's like a trophy sitting there... AND I've been out drinking quite a few times, took them with me, and still never diverted from my eGo. If you thought you liked the commrodery and conversation starters like "hey can I bum a cig?" try taking a PV out. Granted I keep a filled cartridge with me after my first outing... girls just wont take no for an answer to "OMG CAN I TRY THAT THING?"
