Welcome Chani. It is a bit overwhelming but I am sure you will do fine. vaping is a doable and effective way of quitting cigs. It just happens, almost as if it is a natural thing. Learn to use whatever gear you choose. The "Wonderful World of vaping" is one of many great resources for newbies, as are the folks here.

Quiting the analogs should go well for you, it has for hundreds and hundreds that smoked for 30 or forty years and tried many NRT's without success. Please spend your money wisely, if you just want to try it out first buy a couple of $2 disposables. If you really want to quite smoking, do some research and get somthing with a bigger battery (ego, e-power, riva, ect.) and please check out the vendors reputation also. Lots of good vendors listed here on ecf, all of the vendors listed on this forum follow strict guidelines and have a good standing. Best of luck to you and your Husband.

I wish there was a better way to express how easy it is to quit analogs when you move to vaping. ... !

I know! I sound like I found religion when I try to explain it! There is NO nicotine withdrawal, so no physical issues. You get to suck on a stick, feel it hit your throat and see lots of "smoke". So no psychological deprivation.

I smoked for 40+ years as well, and less than three weeks in, willpower was not even an issue; I was a nonsmoker.

Can't go wrong with an eGo.

Tacoma Wa,
I think it depends on what kinda of smoker you are too.
Some people smoke because they like the taste of real smokes.
Some just for the nicotine, and some like the smoke.
Meaning, like me I just like the feeling of smoke. I love the throat hit when the smoke hits it.
Over the past month or so i notice if the eliqud i am using does not have a good throat hit, I think about cigarettes.
But if it does, i could care less about smoking.
When i started It didn't differ much from smoking, except it tastes so much better! :)

I'll do some more research. :)

It's pretty overwhelming!

lol Chani. I agree, it IS really overwhelming when you first find this forum and are getting ready to order your first kit! Fortunately for you, it's the weekend, so there's no advantage to ordering a kit right this moment. You have another 24 hours to read and research, get your order in, and still have it arrive at the same time, since it won't ship before tomorrow in any case. And that's just if you have an itchy clicking finger when it comes to purchases like I do. :D

As for how easy it is to quit smoking when you start vaping, I started vaping a bit over a month ago. I wasn't even really trying to quit smoking, as I benefit from the social aspects of being a smoker. I decided to give it a try just because I was starting to get a cold, and every time I get a cold, I cut WAY down on smoking, and STILL end up with a nasty case of bronchitis for about 2 months after the cold has gone away. I just wanted to still get my nic fix for the week of the cold, and not cough my lungs out for months afterwards.

Then, I found that I really liked vaping. Tasted SO much better. Over the course of a month, I just naturally cut down on analogs because they tasted nastier and nastier. In the last week, they just tasted REALLY gods awful. Wed, thur, and fri of last week, I had one analog a day first thing in the morning, and couldn't stand the thought of that taste in my mouth again for hours afterwards the rest of the day. Yesterday, I didn't even want that first one. Today is my second day without analogs, and I have zero desire to smoke one. Yesterday, I even noticed how nasty someone smelled when they came inside after smoking. I find it all pretty amazing!

Sorry for the long ramble :p
