Another Convert

[TrevorGordon]

Hi Guys,

I got my e-cig 3 weeks ago, I think by looking at the different websites available it is a 306? is that right? It has the same look and feel as a normal smoke.

After 25 years of smoking and never able to quit, except for once for 6 weeks, I have been analogue free for 3 whole weeks and have no intention of going back.

After getting my head around how to vape, it is abit different to smoking, I found my method of getting the most out of it and haven't looked back. It is so much more enjoyable than smoking, here I am at my desk at work (during afternoon "smoko") enjoying my e cig. and it's fantastic.

These things are the best invention ever. I don't think I could have done it any other way.

Over time I will try different products and styles and decide which is the best for me.

At the moment though I am happy just to be able to take a deep breath with out coughing for the first time since I don't know when.

Congrats Trevor on your 3 weeks and welcome to ECF. There's a whole world of systems and mods and flavours out there for you to try and it just keeps getting better and better

Congratulations - and welcome

I'm coming up on two weeks after smoking analogs for 38 years. I'm one of the lucky ones who hasn't had to smoke an analog since I started vaping and things just keep getting better.

There's a wealth of information here and a pretty great crowd of people. There's a lot more information here than I can absorb, but I think I have learned that finding the right kit for myself is more of a process than a decision.

Again, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome guys,

I am on the 36mg Marlboro juice at the moment but I have ordered 0mg coffee, strawberry and Marlboro as well and I will start trying to wean myself off the nicotine over time. I get the same peppery taste as nicorette gum with the nic juice not unpleasant but I would like to get off the nicotine all together and just enjoy the vaping.

I have said this to others but as a smoker, no smoker really wants to give up, it really is an enjoyable past time, however due to the many many life threatening illnesses it can induce, we live in fear that one of our favourite things will kill us. What we really have all been hoping for is for someone to come up with a way to smoke and for it to be essentially harmless, well these e cigs have really fulfilled that hope. I don't feel like I have stopped smoking, I feel like I have replaced it with and equally enjoyable past time with out the health risks, smell and cost.

Incidentally the cost of a pack of 20 over here in Australia is around $17 a pack. My starter kit cost me $40 and will last me another couple of weeks so the cost saving over here is huge. It will save me around $250 a month.

T your on the right track! that's fantastic, I started off with 36mg also and am down to around 5 mg's. It's rough cutting back at first, just remember your body is the best gauge on how much you should be vaping and don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's a different journey for everyone. Good luck!

WooHOO! Welcome and congratulations!

Thanks again guys,

Beans, yeah I will mix and match nic juice with 0mg slowly to reduce nic content. I'll experiment.

I did start to get the burning taste, so I carried out my first mod and de-bridged my atomizer.

Works really well and actually gives me a stronger TH and lots of vapor. I must say that even though I have
a mini, I basically just keep it on charge when I am not using it and I find it to be perfect for what I need.
I'm still interested in the epipe though, for when I get my rocking chair.

Incidentally I will be over in the States in December for a family vacation. We will be doing 2 weeks in FL and a week in CA. I might as well look into getting some supplies while I'm there. My wife and daughter plan on spending a bazillion dollars on shoes and handbags so I might get me a few things too. Any good places in Orlando, Miami or LA?
