Day 1 - It's official.

[duner]

I've been a peep on this forum for a little while, doing the usual research/ education/ You Tube thing. 1.5 PAD for 20+ yrs and never tried to quit. I decided to go with a Provari V2.5 starter kit and a vivi nova V3. ETA 7-8 days, so I ran down to Electronic Stix this afternoon and grabbed a Kanger starter kit - 20 bucks. Still have a 1/2 carton in the beer fridge JIC. My daughter (11) is really excited about me quitting and to be honest, I am too. I'm all in baby!

Fantastic! you can do it.. What kind of juice....?

 

[DC_Phil]

Congratulations. My kids smoked for about two years before they discovered vaping about six months ago. I'm so excited about their quitting tobacco that I'm thinking of opening a store to introduce vaping to the hipsters in DC.

Hey, duner. . . Welcome to the ECF boards. Your daughter has good reason for her excitement . . . Congrats!


- Andy . . . Challenge the day.

provari and a vivi nova, that's a really really great start, should be easy to quit, you don't even seem to have any problem with vaping !

 

[Thayamax]

Welcome! I'd say you've jumped in with both feet getting a Provari right off rip. From what I've heard you'll never have a regret about going through a bunch of devices only to wish you'd skipped to the end first.

Congrats to you and your daughter, and keep on vaping!

 

[duner]

Thanks everyone!
Eighttrucktires: The juice I ordered with the kit from Provape - 3 bottle sampler w/ 3 different levels of nic. The juice I grabbed today @ estix is High Caliber 1.8% 50/50.

Estix was PACKED today (Sunday in Utah, crazy), they were sold out of just about everything. I bet you would do really well to set up shop with no competition...

lol I saw that happened a lot with my friends, just take smaller puff, reduce the voltage, you'll get used to it in no time

 

[SteamDaddy]

welcome and you started right.
you can do it.
if i can anyone can. lol

 

[SteamDaddy]

don't be afraid to play with. if it tastes burnt, turn it down a little bit. if you blow a carto. replace it and turn it down a little. no big deal. you'll learn pretty quick.

Welcome Duner !
I think you are going to do great.
Remember to drink PLENTY of water...PG/VG will dry you out and you want to flush all of those toxins out of your system.
I think that with the toxins gone...it makes the transition easier too.

Also, vape first thing in the AM, and before you think you need to. You are training your brain that you will not deprive it of the nic it needs...if you allow it to receive the nic via vaping instead of smoking. Give your brain no reason to freak out on you with a nic fit.

Wishing you: All The Best !

Had to add one more tip...
In vaping, you absorb the nic through the soft tissues of the mouth and nose...
not the deep lung small blood vessels in smoking.
So, as Zurd says...inhale through the mouth... exhale through the mouth and nose....
no need to deep lung it...in fact- not desireable.

Vape On !

Congrads! I've been on these since 2/11 after 43 yrs of smoking, it works! Now just gotta figure out if I want to move up to a bigger battery

 

[Papacrane]

Wow...never knew that!!! About the absorption of nicotine
