Another Convert

[killpies]

Hi all, another convert to vaping here. My story, 40 yrs old, 30 yrs smoking. For the last 20 yrs i have been a 20 -30 a day smoker of pretty strong cigs. i have quit a few times before, lasted 6 weeks a few times and 18 months once (cant believe i went back but i did). Everytime i have quit i have gained heaps of weight and taken years to loose it again.
Had my last analogue 27 days ago on the morning my first 510 stater kit and prefilled carts arrived. Stopped as soon as i opened the package and tried it. Been playing a bit with flavours and small samples for the last few weeks and have now accumulated enough liquid to probably last me 4 months at least.
i feel fantastic, aerobic capacity massively improved, clear and no cough, my taste and smell are back and my eating habits have not changed(ie not stuffing my face like normal quitting).

Whilst not convinced this is harmless, as it seems to good too be, i am convinced it is vastly less harmful than my smoking habit was.

thankyou to all the priceless info posted on here by you all. It is a fantastic place to research and learn from other experiences.

Oh and my Ego T arrived today and I'm in love!

yea i myself am astonished by the difference in the way i feel just after a week or so of no smoking i cant even remember the last time i coughed (not due to massive inhalation of vapor gotta love kingpins banana juice lol)

Congrats to both of you! Amazing the difference once you finally stop smoking. I've gotten to the point where I can "smell" cigarettes on people and it is disgusting. Can't believe I used to be one of them.

Not missing the cough here at all ;-)

I have read a bit and seen that nicotine strength seems to be the biggest factor in the TH. PG/VG ratio being the other. Are there some flavours out there anyone can recommend that deliver a good TH at lower Nic levels. I have settled on 24mg/ml atm to satisfy my cravings but wouldnt mind trying to move away from nic over time.

Congratulations on your success!! It feels great doesn't it? That means you're almost at 30 days
It sounds like you're on the way to a much healthier life. Good luck and happy vaping!!

edit: I just read your other post about TH. Nicotine does factor in on it, but I think the higher PG content is important also. If you like cinnamon or menthol flavors, they have a little more kick to them. I actually started asking for extra flavorings in my juices when I was lowering my levels. So, it's a combination.
