My wife and I ran into some friends of ours last weekend. They were vaping and we've previously discussed switching to e-cigarettes so we asked a few questions and they showed us their PV's. We started smoking analogs again this year after being quit for over four years and have tried to quit again numerous times since, without success. I ordered a Tornado T startup kit which seems to be perfect for what we want right now. The kit came in two days ago. Both of us set up our PV's and didn't even smoke a "goodbye" cigarette.

We're not looking back, we have a pack of analogs sitting on the bathroom counter and I know I get queasy when I look at them (I was at the point where I hated smoking but "had to do it".) I know my wife hasn't picked one up either. I did make the mistake of ordering more tobacco flavors in our initial sampler than I wish I had, but we've got more flavors coming now from various vendors that I've seen recommended here. I held off ordering extra parts until I knew that we'd like vaping, but they're on their way now (especially a second charger.) We like the TT's a lot and people are already asking questions about them. We break them down and explain how they work and we've gotten an overwhelmingly positive response. We still ask people who are downwind if our vaping bothers them (as we did when we smoked cigarettes) and everyone has said, "I can't smell anything."

The only problem that we've running into is that the TH is a bit harder than we expected, but we have some 100% VG on the way to try.

Now now no spanking here...lol Congrats on your new lifestyle!! Like you I keep a pack with some analogs in it (mine are on the computer desk). I don't smoke em I just get a weird thrill out of seeing them and not wanting one after smoking for 24 years. I also get a weird thrill out of saying no when people who don't know I quit offer me one.

Welcome! I started out with a regular tornado. It's basically the same thing as an eGo ... and I'm sure you'll find plenty of parts and gadgets that will fit with your unit as you go along.

The hunt for the right juice can be time consuming, but fun, and since it's the holiday season they are great as presents.

Many people who first try PVs (ecigs) will say they find it harsh, or that it has a strong throat hit. Part of that is in the way you inhale. It's different than a regular cigarette. Try longer, slower draws as you inhale. Relax and work with it. Remember, if some vapor gets up near your face it's not an issue. It's water vapor, not smoke, so it's not going to burn your eyes.

I hope that tip helps a bit. Best of luck to the both of you.

I started vaping, then stopped for several months and have recently started back up again.
Both times, vaping was at first harsher than analogs to me. After a few days of vaping though, that has gone away for me and I can vape deep into my lungs without experiencing any harshness.
I've seen others mention this phenomenon as well, so hopefully, the harshness will soon go away for you and your wife.
Welcome to ECF!
