Another Newbie

[Fantom]

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Eric, I smoke 2 to 2 1/2 packs of Marlboro Reds a day, and have smoked for 28 years now. I have been reading through this forum for a week now and just a little while ago I ordered my first e cig starter kit. The stories I have read on here have been truely inspiring. I hope that this will help me also. As you can tell I'm an extreme Newbie and have a lot to learn here.

After researching this just the little time that I have, it's like a whole new world and lingo I need to learn. It will probably be next week before I get my kit. I'm excited, nervous, and scared about this new venture. Both my Parents smoked heavy and I started at a very young age. I would say, I've never really had fresh air in my life. Plus, I've never really like change.

I plan on trying this whole heartedly. I've got 100's of questions but I'm going to keep searching this forum for answers before asking the same ones, I'm sure people are sick of answering.

Again, just wanted to say hi and looking forward to learning and getting to know some of you.

Eric

Made a great choice I am new to this also but IMHO I like vaping way more than smoking and I really enjoyed smoking more than the habbit as it seems you do too....my only advice for now is order more eliquid now if you didnt with your kit you will need it. to me its alot diff than smoking a tobacco cig. but way better i think you will like it

Welcome! Don't worry about posting a question that has been asked before (You will need to get your post count up to 15 anyway). It helps other visitors find the info faster if its on the first few pages.

OK, I do have one question I'm having touble finding. The vapor that you exhale does it have smell, odors or aromas of any kind? If so, explain?

My son says occasionally, especially when I'm vaping a mint or menthol flavor that it smells a little like I've been chewing a piece of gum or certs or something... Other than that he says he smells and tastes nothing. He's 15 and since my hubby and I have been vaping, our son actually SITS with US in the living room and TALKS to us. He's told me it's because he can breathe the air without tasting and smelling cigarettes now. (I figure anything to get my teen talking to me is good!)

Hi Eric, I am also a newbie (got my e-cig 7/23 and haven't smoked an analog since I have been pouring over this forum for a couple of months and am not computer literate but have learned alot from reading as much as I can. Both my parents smoked too and I was a 2 pack a dayer x20 years so I hear ya. I tried everything to quit "analogs" and nothing worked for me- maybe the whole hand to mouth thing? but I LOVE vaping! Now I'm really interested in finding different flavors LOL. Anyway, even if you still have a
some "analogs" who cares, all that matters is that this provides all of us with another alternative to quit smoking. Best of luck to you!

My son said he could smell it when vaping cinnamon roll and 555 so there if prob some smell in the vapor if blown close by, also my gf says she can taste it when she kisses me but likes it 100x better than when i smoked she is a non smoker
