Best Forum I've ever been involved with

[hardcyder]

I have been interested in many subjects over the years and have participated in many forums. This one is the best I've seen on any subject. HUGE user-base. Polite and respectful users. Thanks you to every one of you for helping to make this the go-to site for anyone wanting honest opinions and advice.

Btw. I am 6o years old, been smoking for 48 years, tried to quit using every method going, many times. I was smoking 36 to 40 cigs a day. Bought my MVP Feb. 2 2014. The transition was so easy for me that I only smoked 25 cigs that first week. I quit altogether Feb.9 and wowwwwwww. So darned easy for me. No grumpiness. Breath so much better. I KNOW as long as I can vape, I'll never go back to smoking.

Welcome to ECF. Got you by a few years, I'm 62.
Tried everything in the book to get rid of my 45 year habit. Nothing worked.
Tried vapin about six weeks ago and dropped the cigs in half a day.

Congrats to you and good luck with it, you've come to the right place.

 

[Christopherja]

Well done, and thanks for sharing your story!

Here's hoping you get many more years in life, and on ECF

Congrats to you also peepaw. Cutting cig use in half is a good step. Have you tried a step up in the nic. level? It might help. I use 12mg mostly with a couple of tubes of 18's for any rough spots I encounter. (so far - NONE) but I still use the 18s just for fun.

Hello hardcyder! Welcome to the forum. Congrats on the big accomplishment. My story is similar to yours. At 55 with 40yrs. of the smoking habit I quit on the same day I bought my starter kit. My only regret is not discovering vaping sooner. Enjoy your new freedom from a bad habit.

I didn't mean that I cut my use of cigs in half, I dropped them in less than a day.
Sometimes I'm not that clear on what I mean to say.

As far as nic goes I started on 18 and am now at 15. That's probably about as far as I will go.
I like nic, it keeps me from doing dumb stuff, or should I say dumber stuff.

This has become my "support group" mainly because my wife is so NOT ready to quit! Congratulations on a job well done!

I began yesterday. Immediately received referrals from a gracious moderator to blogs to read about different 'equipment. It saved me a lot of grief. Did a bunch of reading and made my decision. Went to town and made my purchases locally to get started.

Also received some info from another member with a 'tip' about what to look out for on 'juice buying' and how it can lead to shall we say 'hurt feelings'. Wow! I saw immediately there are some who can't be happy. I have to be careful or my opinionated self will get ME in trouble. I tend to defend even when I have no business. Good to learn from the start. Told myself this morning, "HUSH". Overall my experience has been great and I am so glad for yesterday morning and the help I received in the first post I made. One post - perhaps ten replies - all SO GREAT and helpful! It was amazing! Now it is up to ME not to mess up a good thing.

Yeah, this place is too cool. Super user base, very helpful.

Your 'no grumpiness' comment really hit home for me. Vaping is the only method I have used to quit that I feel absolutely great using.

Congrats by the way.

I 100% agree...one thing I notice...there is little to no flaming and very little fan boism...(maybe on the Provari side)
No matter how noobish the question, people are willing to jump in and help...that is why I joined in. I was already vaping quite awhile before I joined, rebuilt my own Protanks, buy a few mods, haven't jumped on the mechanical mods and probably won't. I want to give honest and experienced answers when I chime in.

I don't see this on the sneaker community, tech forums or even on the deal hunter sites. I've been on forum boards since 1998, and let me tell you, you guys are genuinely helping each other kick a bad habit.

Greetings. Geriatric Vulcan here. Too arthritic to do the hand thing anymore, can only get one finger up.

Speaking of getting it -- .... Never mind. Vulcans do not discuss such things. The old folks threads are cool here too. So is the Canada thread, I hang out there just for the cool people sometimes.

Or just wander around and be evil like me. Cheers!

I have that problem sometimes.

Welcome Hardcyder.

You'll soon find out that the community here is unmatched. Everyone is very respectful of each other and there isn't a question that doesn't at least one member here won't know the answer to.

First off, Congratulations and welcome to the ECF family

I agree this community has been very informative and supportive in my transition to vaping.
This is the only vaping community that you will need, IMHO.

Take care!

 

[Lowtech]

I must concur. This forum is tops. Comparing it to other forums can be apples to oranges, but ECF is great. I visit every day.

 

[TheReign]

Good for you, Glad to hear the switch was easy and painless as it was for me!

Take notice, Your wallet is going to be unhappy during your stay here on ECF, I know mine has suffered the consequences. But who's complaining?

Welcome!

And congrats

I've noticed this too since joining an hour or two ago. Not too many rude comments or disrespectful posts.

WOW,, glad you clarified that you actually quit. I'm proud of ya and I don't even know ya. Thats why I love it here. It's do good to hear that my ease of transition isn't just a figment of my active imagination.
Again, sincere congrats.

Great progress made, I didn't have the amount of years smoking that most people on the forums do, but I am grateful to have come about such a supportive community which in part lead me to stop smoking and start vaping, I quit cold turkey and never looked back 6mg nic level is my daily and it will stay that way so long as I vape.
