I quit smoking last Thursday the 20th. It's almost been a full week without smoking since I got the Provari V2 and Silver Bullet in the mail! Both of these mods have been working like champs all week!!! So far I don't prefer using one over the other yet. They both give a unique vaping experience and I'm really glad I purchased both of them! Basically I love using both mods right now and mixing it up throughout the day. It's fun and I can vape with a variety of options to keep things interesting. I can even use The Kick in the SB to give it an extra boost if needed. So far I haven't used The Kick very much. The SB has been working great by itself.

I've been carrying my vape gear around all day in a Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer. Wish my camera was around so I can post pictures. For around $20 bucks with shipping it's an awesome find and would work great for travel carry! I can carry the Provari, SB, extra batteries, atomizers, and a full cartomizer tank anywhere! The inside bands fit the tank, batteries, and mods perfectly. If anyone's interested. Amazon.com: Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer (OD Green): Sports & Outdoors
It's a lot to carry around everywhere but I need to stay prepared because it's only been a week since I've had a cigarette. During the summer I usually wear cargo shorts or carry a backpack when I leave the house so toting around all this stuff isn't much of a problem.

Anyhow it's been pretty easy to avoid smoking a cigarette all week. I just vape instead now! Surprisingly I only use about 2mL of liquid per day at the 18 or 24 mg nicotine level. I was almost a 2 pack a day smoker of Marlboro 72 Reds. They're shorter cigarettes but it was still a lot of smoking! I haven't noticed much of a health difference yet but my sense of smell and taste is definitely changing. People who chain smoke around me isn't bothering me as much as I thought it would. I notice how bad cigarettes stink now but it doesn't bother me very much or give me the urge to smoke one! Watching my friends chain smoke basically gives me more of a reason to keep vaping and not go back to that nasty habit! I do find it funny most of my friends who smoke have a problem with me vaping for some dumb reason! A large majority thinks I'm crazy for using e-cigs and carrying around this stuff. This is another subject I'll post about later if I have time! lol. Should be pretty interesting to hear other peoples experience with e-cig haters!

Well so far everything's working out better than expected given my insane addiction to smoking cigarettes!!! I'm just really surprised and excited about being able to quit smoking and it's only been a week! lol.

Thanks for reading!

A recent study published on June 24th showed the cessation rate over a 52 week period!
13% cessation rate vs 4% with the control group. This is with a much lower nicotine strength too, I wonder how cartridges with a higher % of nicotine would rank in a study.

You probably already saw this, but all the same.
