omg you are so right like i said before i have this pack sitting in front of me and i get the urge to grab one but everytime i do i just vape a lil somehow in my mind the analogs need to learn who the alpha device is lol.
I bought a 510 battery, a Vivi Nova tank, and some cheap strawberry juice on a Friday, smoked my last analog on the following Monday. That was over 2 months ago. I don't miss it one bit. I laugh at those suckers freezing their ...&$ off for smoke now. NEVER AGAIN! Plus, my wifes not nagging me about stinking when I get home from work..Bonus!
How does everyone here get those cool banners in their signatures that say "smoke-free since [x] days"?

sup MR. Mad,
well, you might not want to have a pack too close to you, especially if you are used to smoking indoors.
i already only smoked exclusively outside for many years, so i did not have a "pack at hand".
Still have not thrown away 2 half packs and a near whole pack yet, but i don't leave them in plain sight either.
I make sure - absol-fen-lutely sure, the vape gear is near by and within reach.
Anyhow, i don't chain vape per se. i find myself liking to take a few hits every hour or so.
You'll have to find your rhythm and keep at it. Some have to chain vape during the "quitting" phase then can just do hits now and then. Some chain vape and still chain vape. Do the joose hunt if you don't do the equipment hunt. It'll keep your mind occupied.
Glad you found a joose you can enjoy somewhat - i think this is so key to quitting regular smokes.

Vaping worked wonders for me. Only been vaping for 10 days, but Im past the hardest part of quitting analogs. As my urges to smoke diminish, I'm going to try to lower the nicotine level over time.
You might not make it through those three packs! Don't beat yourself up if you need a cigarette now and again, but pretty soon they will start to taste horrible to you. Just keep going as long as you can without one, and remind yourself that you have everything you need in your vape. I never consciously "quit", and yet, I have three packs of year-plus old cigarettes in the freezer from my last carton. I had 5 packs in there when my first set-up came in the mail, and I still have those 3 packs, plus a single cigarette in an open pack in my desk drawer.
You've got this!
gotcha 2morrow i will put them somewhere out of site just trying to get through the first 24 hours without having a freakout or something lol.
Well OK, it was almost that easy. I need 15 posts. One away!
you know what nothing would make me happier than to throw the money i spent on those cigs away !You might not make it through those three packs!

and honestly the more i vape this nuport flavor the more i like it the menthol is pretty good its not minty like i expected and would have hated . someone gave me a disposable that was supposed to be menthol but tasted like wintergreen and i didnt like it much.this is much much better.
Sounds like you are doing great man, congratulations. I am a bit over 60 days vaping. I have had 3 analogs in that time, 2 on the same day because of a battery failure and the other one was battery failure too. You can do it, juice hunting is a great hobby and it sounds like you have excellent equipmunk.
You got this. If you've made it this far, you can do it. Just don't be afraid to compensate with a bit more vaping than you smoked. Once you're off the bad stuff, it will be a lot easier to ween yourself down on the nicotine later. Enjoy the vapor, and forgot the cigs!
Even if you don't quit cigarettes completely at the moment, eventually you will. Congratulations and welcome to the world of vaping!
MR. Mad, I am officially doing a happy dance for you! Now with this cold weather coming our way you can stay snug in your house and fiddle with your new gadgets! It sounds like you've read quite a bit and are very prepared. Just wanted to let you know that there will likely be a tiny itty bitty bit of withdrawal-like sensation over the next week or so. When that comes on, just chain vape like you are trying to steam up the whole house! Best of luck to you, I have a good feeling about your success.
First off WELCOME TO ECF!! and welcome to VAPING!!
ohm waver is normal, it can vary by .3 ohms on average as the coil ages.
make sure things are snug as far as connections but dont over tighten too much,
Vaping is different from smoking, it requires a tad bit more finesse.
I went from 2PAD to 1 ciggie a day took a few months tho while vaping too ( the psychological addiction was hard to break)
Be careful with the Vamo's they dont like to be dropped
once you get comfy with vaping and read some more on coil work consider an RSST Tank or a Kayfun 3.1 clone

congatz on becoming a vaper ...
When I started vaping I had no intention of quitting, I just thought I'd try this to cover the times I'm on the road (I travel a lot for work) can't smoke in the house, can't smoke in the airport, can't smoke in the rental car, can't smoke in the hotel yadda, yadda, yadda. To make a long story short, when I started playing around with my PV and trying different juices I just sort of "forgot" to light up an anolog. I may have smoked a few here and there, but nothing like my 1.5 - 2 PAD habit that I'd had for about 45 years. After about a week the analogs tasted bad, and I craved my root beer, cherry, licorice, or cocoa mint vapes, and NOT my Marlboros, so I just stopped buying them. I'm now smoke free for about a month and a half.
So stick with it ... find some juice flavors you enjoy (don't think you have to duplicate the tobacco taste) ... and remember, if you slip up and light up a "stinky" now and then, the important thing is to count the cigarettes you didn't have, not the ones you've had.
