October 11, 2012. A few months before I found and then joined in here.
i've been vaping and not smoking for 6 years and 136 days.
my 'counter code' hasn't subtracted the 2 days added so far for leap years so it's ahead of our calendar.
so far this has guestimatedly cost me 6.62% of the $10,733 that hasn't been spent on 34,889 cigarettes (about 1,744 packs) that could've put 25¼ ounces of tar in my lungs.
on the 29th of september 2014, i decided not to smoke another cigarette. .... about 326 weeks ago i did smoke about half a cig. seems i won't be using my zippo as much anymore, but it's going nowhere..
Congrats on the handle change, as well.

Must be 10years now as typing this thinking if only I could get Gauloises or Gitanes vape juice as they were my main smoke, Have tried DIY but total fail.
I've certainly tried to get the unique french tobacco flavour, over the last 7 years must have grown 15 tobacco plants from seed barn and fire cured for 18 months and pressed then the usual Net process, I even had 1lt barrel's made from old congac ones then buried 4ft to try and keep a cool temperature, as well as untold amount of leaf combination, The end result I got nowhere, You know what they say, if at first you don't succeed give up, fricking have now.Aye but you'll have discovered as I did that there's nothing you vape will ever be the same as what you smoked. It just can't be done.
As a party piece I can shut my eyes and describe in loving detail the feel of both the original, and the one that followed it, feel of a slide open packet of Senior Service plains and do a routine of a blind man finding he's been served with a packet of Players instead of Seniors ... but do I want to go back to the days when I wore a uniform and got through three packets of them a day - no way!
