Did vaping help you quit smoking?

[Alter]

Same here, Mike. That's what I started with, too. I advanced a little bit, though and have a couple of MVP 2's that I just love. No smoking for me either from the day I started this great adventure.

"Great Adventure" is the best wording I have seen yet.
I had no B&M, no other people to show me anything, my most battery use was changing batts in the controllers. Google and Youtube were my only friends and now I sit vaping on my protank2 with a 1.4 ohm 30 gauge hemp coil on my provari and enjoying vape nirvana. I forgot what a dryhit was many many months ago.

I've had a nice vape station setup for quite a few months now, I have my own room DOWNSTAIRS unlike before I rebuilt on the kitchen table.

Yes, vaping did indeed help me quit smoking cigarettes. But it did take almost a year while I went from the cheap disposables at the gas station, different eGo types, lots of different tanks, to my current setup (Provari Mini with SmokTech DCT) and finding juice that I liked.
I found that the hardest, and last, cigarette to give up was the first one in the morning, with that first cup of hot, fresh coffee. In fact, I don't really remember the exact date I smoked my last cigarette. It's more like I finally decided to quit "Buying" cigarettes, rather than quit smoking them. Best guess is that its been about 6 months now.
I don't miss smoking at all, and after I started mixing my own juices, I realize how much I'm NOT spending on smoking.

Welcome and best of luck.

I quit the second I started…

Got me a PT-2 and a spinner… Some Juice.. And never smoked again.

I quit 40 plus years of smoking by switching to dipping Skoal and Copenhagen...a couple years later I picked up a cheap Ego starter kit and a bottle of juice and haven't even thought about tobacco since. Just came across an unopened can of Cope in the freezer a couple weeks ago and tossed it right in the trash.

Absolutely. I have also lost about 40 lbs. I vape my sweets now instead of eating them.

I wasn't able to quit smoking when I tried Blu a few years back. Since using "real" equipment like my Vamo V5 and mini-protank, and then upgrading to mechs and the VTR, I haven't had a cigarette. I was at just over a pack a day smoker when I quit. I don't recall offhand how long ago that was, 3+ months ago, but my post signature should show the time since my last cigarette.

I haven't had a camel in about 3 months. Took a week or so to change over to all vape. I had no real desire to quit smoking, I have no fear of death or cancer. It's all about saving a buttload of money to me.

Yep, another one who quit with vaping! Smoked for the first two days, less and less. On the third day I did not have a smoke until after dinner. Took two drags and had to put it out. Couldn't stand it!

A friend of work has been vaping for years, and I know that my wife wanted me to quit so I thought I would give it a try. Only been 3 weeks so far, but the smell of an analog makes me sick now. Have not had an urge to go back at all.

Twenty year smoker. Two packs a day. I've had about three or four smokes since buying my starter kit a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying not to put pressure on myself, and it's working very well.

I really wish I knew earlier that vaping could put the breaks on smoking so quickly, so I'm trying to tell anyone I can to get the word out. I enjoy smoking and I don't care to have a cigarette. It works almost instantly.

As a side, being in the US I'm frightened that tobacco companies are going to grease the right wheels and get vaping equipment banned.

I smoked for 35 years and tried to quit for about 30. Used every method I could find to quit, patches, gums, nasal sprays, inhalers, Zyban, Champix, quit smoking courses, cold turkey and all of these methods multiple times. I was a professional quitter, personal best cessation period was 11 months of torturous hell after my daughter was born. Average cessation was about 2-3 months, worst was about 23 minutes (cold turkey method

First heard about e-cigs in July 2012 and downloaded some V2 ciga-likes in August 2012, thinking that if this doesn't work I'm quitting trying to quit. Over the following weeks and months I graduated to 510 batteries and cartomisers, then DIY liquid clearomisers and variable voltage mods. Primarily use tank style clearomisers with variable voltage mods (eVic) but trying new stuff with every order.

Bottom line is I haven't smoked a cigarette since that day in August 2012 (almost 2 years now). Awesome evidence that vaping is a vastly superior (only?) smoking cessation method for me.

I semi quit with blu. But I went back to smoking because I felt I was giving myself a treat. Then I tried a super crappy millenium ego and some super crappy millenium juice that were at the gas station. I found I actually enjoy vaping better because the flavors are better, i am not committed to finishing a whole cigarette, and I can get satisfying hits without pain and discomfort from smoke inhalation.

I since moved on to mods, clearo tanks, carto tanks, glassomizers, rebuildable drippers, and I just got my first rba (which I love).

I also make my own juice.

I dont really ever feel like smoking.

And I'm still using that crappy millenium ego battery. It outlived 2 evods and my vamo v5. It works great with my dripper.

May 26th. No Analogs. Vaping like a Mythical Beast though. All things in moderation and I have never known the meaning of that word.

It certainly did!! Haven't picked up an analog since I received my e-cigs in the mail (January 2014). My doctor even said that he would rather me smoke the e-cigs, if indeed I HAD to smoke.

 

[Darthvong]

I've tried gum, patches and pills prior to vaping. YES it helped me quit.

 

[Jugband]

A year and a half for me, don't miss analogs a bit! Vapeing got me off of them for good.

 

[Moeblair]

Two months for me and Dow to 12mg from a pack a day habit

 

[GeorgeWachsmuth]

In a word? Absolutely!

 

[obsidian5889]

Definitely helped me

Both my wife & I were smokers for 30 yrs. I was a 2 PAD Full Flavor & the wife was a 1 1/2 PAD Light smoker. Took me about 2 months to fully quit, but within 5 days I had cut back my analogs by 90%. My wife also cut back about 75% but took about 3 months to be Smoke Free ... and YES, at 1st we both vaped like fiends, and the vape fog in the house made me feel like I was on the Streets of London at night ... but in a few weeks it slowed down and now it just looks like the haze over the crowd at a Reggae Concert.
