MOST vapers on ECF are 41-60 years old: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/polls/119058-how-old-vapers.html

and MOST vapers smoked for more than 25 years (many for more than 50 years too): http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/polls/42293-how-many-years-were-you-analog-smoker.html

Man, I love the polls : Polls

Yes that is the one. I will probably bug everyone for a while to get over this start, then maybe I can help others if I survive this. ha.
Anyway, my point is that you are here with your peers in a place where most of us know exactly what you are going through. I hope you can get the thing to work, and I hope you like it. But if it's not everything you thought it was supposed to be, if it doesn't make you KNOW that your relationship with tobacco cigarettes is finally over, don't hesitate to talk about it here. We can recommend all sorts of solutions to any short comings that you feel like it has... it's even possible that you'd do well with a different e-cig (likely even) I looked at the 520 and it looks to be an entry level e-cig - perhaps not suited to a heavy smoker like you or me...IMO. If this is what you got: Wordupecig 520 Mega Compact kit

Good Luck in figuring all this out though, once you get a kit that works and some e-liquids that you like all those days of smoking will be in the past. E-cigs can really really work, but it does take some trial and error to figure out your best set up.

Yes that is the kit. I will probably bug every silly before this is over. then maybe I will be able to help someone. I hope I make it to that point.
I was dancing around the house last night (as much as an old fat guy can dance) because I had managed to NOT smoke seven cigarettes yesterday. Not that big a deal to most and I still got a lot of smoking in but that was progress. when I get the right equipment and liguids I really think this will be my out from smoking. Last time I tried to quit I made it 28 days then was ready to start eating cigarettes.

Ps, for e-liquid that tastes like cigarettes (* well, it doesn't really taste like a cigarette but it tastes like what cigarettes are trying and failing to taste like..hehehe) I like Wyatt Earp and 555. I hear GREAT things about Backwoods Brew, especially in regards to their tobacco flavors, but haven't tried them yet.

Hi there Oldfatguy, I was kinda in the same boat as you, I'll be 62 next month and have been smoking since I was 13. Thats 49 years of that crap. I had received an email offer for "a complete e-cig" for only the cost of $4.99 shipping. If I were to keep it for more than 20 days they would bill my CC for $99.95 - Plus Keep me "supplied" for a cost of $59.95 a month. I deleted it!
A couple of days later I started thinking about it and did a search for electronic cigarettes and thankfully came across ECF. These members have walked me through everything and I owe them big time. They will help you too. Good luck, I wish you the best.

Cool, you are smarter than I was ha. I bit on that type offer (pop up on internet) did not check again for over a year. Now I am back. Good luck to you.

......Last time I tried to quit I made it 28 days then was ready to start eating cigarettes.

LOL! Me too. And 7 cigarettes NOT smoked is a good start. Here at ECF, we like to count the cigarettes we didn't smoke, not the ones we did. (it's a glass half full kind of thing)
