Another Newbie

[Milnerlady]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I just got started on Saturday(7/14) with an KGO from Hoosier. But, have to say my first good day with it was yesterday. Normally smoke about a pack a day and went down to 9. I have tried peppermint e-liquid to me it tastle like I was smoking menthol ciggs., trying out today some kind of vanilla, also trying the Halo Bella Valente(Cigar). Today, I have place an order with Backwoods Brew decided to try their Virginia tobacco 18mg.

Hi Renne, welcome to ECF and congrats. That's a HUGE success going down to 9 a day and you should pat yourself on the back
Happy vaping.

Let me add my congrats as well! And welcome!

 

[Milnerlady]

Thank You, Thank You Everyone. My Dad(aka RichardV on ECF) was able to quit smoking after 45 yrs. And has now vapeing for almost 3 months. He let me borrow his KGO to try it out so, hopefully I'll order my own soon. Has any of you had withdraw effects from not smoking?

Welcome to the forum, Renee, and congratulations on taking that first huge step of vaping instead of analogs! As far as withdrawal goes...I used to smoke about 1 pack a day of Benson & Hedges Ultra-Lights. I started vaping at 16 mgs. and had withdrawals the first day. However, even though my eyes were glassy and red looking and my head felt like it was filled with cotton balls, I vaped like crazy all day and was satisfied enough to not cheat. By day 2 I was perfectly fine and no withdrawals. I recommend maybe starting out at 18 mg or 24 mg at first probably to avoid withdrawals. I didn't know and had no one to ask my questions about it to.

1. Welcome to ecf, we are glad to have you. Please contribute when you can and ask questions when you need to.

2. Don't get discouraged if you are still smoking a few analogs in the begining, it's pretty normal. A lot of vapers will take a few weeks or month to adjust. Once you find a good juice, you probably won't want a real cig b/c it will taste so bad.

Good luck. Welcome to ECF.

I'm smoking the Red Liggett Full Flavor 100's / Vaping at 18mg. WOW, just realize I only smoked 7 today. So far I'm doing ok with it. Not to bad of withdrawls.

Welcome to ecf and the world of vaping

I smoked about a pack a day of M. Reds and been vaping for a couple of weeks. I had an analog yesterday in the car and I couldn't even finish half of it, was pretty gross. Guess I am done with analogs I tried to stay away from the tobacco flavors and went straight for the fruity stuff and I can already tell a difference with my taste buds coming back, nose clearing up and throat/cough going away.

Welcome to ECF!

Sounds like you're off to a good start.
Pat yourself on your back for the analogs avoided, and don't worry about "cheating". Like most of us you will find that soon you will just prefer vaping to smoking and reach for your e-cig rather than an analog.

 

[MiamiMom63]

Yea, every now and then I will try an analog and think, Wow...the draw on it is too tight due to the filler, there's hardly any vapor, and It tastes like (&$^....lol. After about 2 puffs I go back to vaping It makes me sort of feel good to check every now and then on how bad-tasting analogs are. I can't believe I was so addicted to them. I want to kick myself!
