But at this point, today, i'd say i am a Dual User but working on becoming a Total Vaper.
I truly hope you achieve your goal, I know it's hard,I was a hard core Newport smoker for 24+years 2 packs a day, the VA gave me patches and gum to quit, it made me so sick I passed out and had to go to the hospital on the 4th of July 2015, that was the last straw for me. My daughter and son in law gave me two ego batteries and some Kanger tanks, since August 15 2015 I have been smoke free.

I am not a Total Vaper, I am THE Total Vaper. I am currently working with Omni Consumer Products on a vape holster implant that will charge, refill and dispense my vape right from my hip much like RC's gun did. When it nears release, I'll register as a supplier.

I am sick of hearing "reports" that MOST e-cigarette users are "Dual Users"

So...let's get some REAL info - this is what I would like to hear from you ...

Dual user for about 2 years. Exclusive vaper for over three years. Interesting thread but you won't get an accurate overall picture on ECF, in other words we aren't that representative of the general vaping ( dual and exclusive ) public.

Again...not looking for a scientific study...just replies from our members.

    Oh ok ... When i read your post stating that you are " sick of hearing "reports" that MOST e-cigarette users are "Dual Users" " and that you would like to " get some REAL info - this is what I would like to hear from you ... " ...., my assumption was that you don't agree with the reports stating most vapers are dual users, and you are trying to debunk them :)

    Sorry if you already addressed this ... I responded when i read your post, and didn't reaad through the rest of the thread.

    Total vaper for almost 4 years (will be 4 this month). I was a dual user for the first month, until I found the setup that worked for me.

    Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with dual use. We always had a saying on ECF: Don't count the ones you have, count the ones you DON'T have. It is, after all, harm reduction.

    :wub: you all whether you are a dual vaper or total vaper. What matters is that you are not taking in all the crap that you used to when you smoked. Even it if it is half, it is still a victory.

    :censored: Glantz the :censored: wipe.

    I agree with the sentiment expressed, but i suspect the reason some vapers get uneasy or defensive when confronted by these reports, is exactly because of the person you mentioned. "Children" and " dual users " are the basis ( or should i say excuse ) for his opposition to vaping. Even though he admits e-cigarettes are far safer than cigarettes, he still sees vaping as a net negative because he claims more smokers would quit if they didn't " dual use ".

    We all know how full of :censored: he is ;)

    Still, it really pisses off a lot of us that know better. I can see why Classy wanted to start this thread. This is just an informal way of seeing how many of our members are dual or total users.

    Try not to over think this :wub:

    Been back and forth.
    Total vaper for about 2.5 weeks starting in August after about 1 year of dual using. Then bummed one from a co-worker, spent the next few weeks dual using again, then another straight week as a total vaper, then back to dual use again...:facepalm:
    I think there are far more of us than many realize. But at this point, today, i'd say i am a Dual User but working on becoming a Total Vaper.
    Celebrate the victories, like Robin said, count the ones you DON'T have. :)

    Not something I advertise unless I see another member struggling with shame over it ;)
    No shame in dual, quitting is sooooo hard for some. You're definitely one of the best cheerleaders we have here!! :wub:

    Oh Robin, I love that!!!!

    Total vaper since 09/10/12. Originally quit using Blu, then found Johnson Creek.
    But, like has been mentioned...if I couldn't vape, I too fear I'd be right back smoking.
    I'd like to think that I wouldn't, but way deep down, I'm fearful that I would. :)

    Honestly, i didn't mean to " undermine the unofficial poll of ECF members ". My response to " most vapers are dual users " has always been ; Even if true, so what !

    The reason most reports suggest there are more dual users than exclusive vapers, is that most reports grossly exaggerate the number of overall vapers in the U.S. Most of thee people they classify as dual users are not vapers at all, just people who experimented or had a few puffs here and there. Having vaped a couple of times in " the past month ", does not make you a vaper, dual-user or otherwise. That is also the reason they grossly exaggerate the number of minors vaping exclusively and dual-using.

    Total Vaper!

    First cigalike I tried I wasn't even a dual user... I shot it away...

    First real vape I tried quite literally one day I was a smoker and the next day I wasn't, charged it up, loaded it with ejuice and the next morning I said I'm not going outside for a cig...

    22 years of smoking killed by a iPow2 and a Genitank... Mind you I did upgrade fairly quick after that...
