Did vaping help you quit smoking?

[Miata GT]

I've stated this here before:

I didn't know there was such a thing as 'vaping.' I went through 2 rounds of BLUCIGS over the years and neither was successful in helping me quit smoking. It was a happy accident last November that a vape shop opened next to my hair place. I went in out of interest, bought a couple of eGo sticks and a few T3Ss and haven't smoked since. This, after 30 years of smoking.

Yes, vaping changed my life.

The right hardware and juice is all you need, and it will be a breeze to quit the stinkies.

36 year,2 cartons a week smoker. Quit first day I started using a Ego with a 1.5 LR atty and 2.4% Nic. Five years later I am on 0% Nic and using a Evod(still using a ego battery) I have absolutly no desire for a cigarette even if I forget my ecig.

People ask me why I still vape,I tell them it is because I enjoy it. (I guess it baffles them since they seem to think nicotine is the main reason people smoke,it is also the habit and enjoyment of the actions)

Yes, within just a few days I was cigarette free.I vaped 18mg for about a month, went down to 12mg for a couple weeks, and have been at 6mg for a while now. I might go to zero,I don't know. I do know that I am so glad I stopped smoking cigarettes!

I quit the day I bought my first disposable cig-alike (jan 19.2013) after smoking for just a little over 29 years. Started on 24 mg nic and now down to 12 and been thinking about going lower in the distant future

I smoked for 4 years (haven't bought a pack in almost 2 months) but Ive had my Kanger Evod for about 4 months now. Finally got some new juice about 2 months ago and just decided to quit. Ive had maybe 4 or 5 cigarettes since i purchased my new juice. Spent that extra money on a vv ego and a few mini pro tank 3's. So glad I was able to put down that nasty habit!

So far its working great. Vaping is so much better than Smoking.

i'm coming up on my 1 year vaping anniversary next week. was a smoker for twenty years. tried everything to quit; cold-turkey, patches, gums, and Wellbutrin. on wellbutrin i managed to cut my smoking in half but it wasn't til i ordered my cigalike starter kit last summer that i was able to totally quit smoking. i was expecting vaping to be more of a supplement for smoking while at work but i haven't had a ciggie since the day i started vaping. so yeah, it's definitely is responsible for me quitting smoking.

 

[Xanadu78]

Yep...I actually quit "cold turkey" over 18 months ago with no vaping.

I stayed smoke free for just over a year......

But then came the dreaded family reunion a while back...7 days where 4 out of every 5 people smoked...........and I fell off the wagon.

After less than 30 days smoking again, the hubby started getting peeved about the smoke smell in the "new" house, and I was struggling with "cold turkey" this time...so I did some research, found vaping and haven't looked back.

I am on day 11 with no cigarettes. When I started vaping I would have 2 or 3 cigarettes a day. It only took a week for me to put them down completely. I quickly got to where I preferred vaping. Now if I could stop spending money on new gear I could start to enjoy the financial benefits of not smoking.

 

[Myxlpyxlx]

Used a cigalike for a couple years and they didn't do it for me. Got good spinner set and burners were in the rear view mirror since. Now I vape for pleasure.

 

[Spayne041208]

Bought a ecig starter and juice on the 21st of May, on the 27th of May had my last cigarette. Been a little over three weeks now since I had an analog.

I didn't plan on quitting, it just happened and it's amazing!

I'm telling everyone I know about my experience. It wasn't all a piece of cake but it wasn't horrible either and I love vaping!

I hope it helps my mom and husband quit too!

Support your friends and family if they start vaping.

Yes, but I didn't manage right away like many, even though that was the point for me. It took me about 6 weeks to get completely off the cigs.

 

[fraychek]

I quit instantly with my first vape after 45 years of smoking. Can't even imagine smoking now.

 

[Lookout]

I did not plan to quit but it jut went that way

I went at it similarly- none of this picking a day to commit to quit, removing all my ashtrays from the house, making a written plan of what I'd do with all my saved money or any of the other psyche-up/psyche-out preparations which seem to be the cornerstones of conventional cessation advice (wisdom?).

Did I want to quit?
Sure. "Some day."

Did I think it would happen so easily or quickly (5 days from 2+ decks of Newports/day to zero)?
No way, no how.

 

[burtonsnowww]

yep only thing that worked..
