Hello to everyone. I have been smoking just shy of a pack a day of analogs for 20+ years. I have to put the analogs down for upcoming surgery and have been wanting to quit for good anyway. Surprisingly, it was my primary care physician of 9 years who recommended trying e-cigs. He was the one who introduced me to the word, "vaping".
So, I began my online investigation into this new world and found myself totally overwhelmed by the choices. Thank God, I found this forum (which was initially overwhelming) and like to research because I would have ended up blowing my money on a piece of junk. I just placed my order for the Volcano Inferno (tube tank), some extra o-rings, a button cover and Sweet Tart~16mg~e-liquid. I added 2 Day FedEx shipping so I'm hoping to have it by Wednesday.
My thought process at this point is that I will alternate between analogs and the PV to get my "fix" in the first few days. My hope is that I will be turned off by the taste of the analogs and go 100% on the PV. Eventually, I would like to step down to a lower mg level of nicotine and at some time in the future to no nicotine at all. I have no idea if vaping will become a long term activity. I guess I would not be opposed to it but honestly, I'd rather save my money and not use the PV for recreational use once my addiction to nicotine and the "hand to mouth" habit is gone. But, I'm getting WAY too far ahead of myself. I'll just take it as it comes.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for all your questions and answers in the many threads I read before ordering. It helped me to decipher the lingo and discover that I didn't want to start with a basic beginner's kit. I nearly went all the way to the Lavatube, but that was just a bit out of my price range and seemed far too large to start with. Now, to start investigating in the juice/liquid forum to find good vendors that sell sample packs.
