Hello all!

So I would like to start out that this is now some kind of new years resolution junk. [I really don't do the new years stuff do to being a bartender and then a club owner for a long time, so new years is just a real busy night]. Now out of the bar biz and settled down a good bit (at age 33). I have always been super active, mtn biking, hockey, running 5 miles a day ect ect. (yes, all while being a smoker since age 16). Now living in the mecca area of mountain biking in the U.S. I am preparing for this next summer, thinking to myself "I gotta stop smoking....if I can't run up the stairs how am I gunna ride?". In addition I am aprox. 6800' higher in altitude here over where we moved from (Ga). Just as everyone else on here I am sure....I have tried to quit.....went the same way it did for you. So here I am....what can I do, the patch again or that nasty ... gum??? So I came across the Greeen Smoke web site. I figured what do I have to lose beside some cash. After I ordered I found this forum.....and yeah I suckered in by them, but hey, at least it was a start. So now I am a proud vap-er. Got this thing and started with it, amazing! Read a ton ton ton ton of these post, learned, listened....went to town and got some juice instead of GS's $$$$$ cartos. Now waiting on some more blanks, 4 flavors of juice and another battery. lol After reading about all of you out there that said you quit like the first day or soon after (skeptical), I saved 1 smoke in my truck just in case this was junk and I had it there for the drive to the gas station. Everyone says that after a few days of vaping you try a analog and it is horrible. So it has been a few days and everything has been great, but I wondered if I would really hate a analog after being with them for so long. So I went out to the truck, grabbed it....lit it up....and it does taste and smell like .... hole!! Told my wife I am 2/3 quitting smoking.... quitting the death & ..... smell....but keeping the nicotine!! This thing is absolutely amazing!! So I hope this little story helps some folks decide or at least gives the vets here a chuckle.

Hello life....welcome back!
Vape on world....VAPE ON!!

Truly is! Jumped on the treadmill this afternoon (after only 4 days of no analogs and only vape) just to see where i was compared to the last time i was on (5 miles minimum a day), dreading what was going to happen. Knocked out a mile while reading a magazine!!! Crazy, considering 2 weeks ago i ran up the stairs and got light headed.

Welcome and congrats. I myself am trying to quit. I just broke Dow and I'm smoking an analog now but didn't smoke all day today or yesterday so I'm getting there. Good luck

Don't worry about it! I never started vaping to quit. It just slowly happened.

I kept the nasty RYO tobacco around and had to roll one if I wanted one. That really helped me stop. I didn't have my fav brand around.

There have a been a few times in the last few days that i wanted to SMOKE, but i took this handy little thing with me and went and walked around outside, just in the yard (like i used to), take a few drags and then take a deep breath in and realize, holy crap i can breath and smoke at the same time!!! that took care of it. ** Maybe that will help!!??**

Pain free "quitting", plus being able to puff in the car with the windows up when it's 20 degrees outside? i feel like a ..... for not doing this sooner. congratulations on taking the leap!

It is still real awkward riding with the window all the way up and not cracked a little, even though it is just vape i still crack the window.....habit.
