Hello. I was 3PAD smoker for a good while. I work from home so it was pretty easy to just keep one lit all the time. Wife smoked 1PAD. We both decided to pick a date a few months in the future and start getting mentally prepared to quit cold turkey. (That date was 8/8/2014). We woke up on Saturday, 8/9 and began our white knuckle journey. By Sunday afternoon, we were both a bit of a wreck. Still smoke free, but really having a rough time of it. We found a Vape shop open and decided if we were going to have a chance in hell, we better get some backup.
We each had tried Ecigs before but didn't really catch on. That Sunday, we bought each of us an iTaste MVP and a Nautilus Aspire tank. We have been smoke free since and we both truly enjoy vaping and everything about it.
I went back to the Vape shop yesterday (that was the two week smoke free mark) and bought another Aspire tank, an Kanga tank, and a few more flavors to try out. We found one of our "stick" Ecigs, and I'm sorry I still haven't learned all the jargon, though I did browse through the sticky posts, but it's a fairly nice one (now that we sort of know how to use it.) So we have that with two of the slim tanks, 3 Aspire tanks, 1 Kanga Aerotank Mega, the tank that came with one of the MVP's, and about 6 different flavors in rotation that we can swap out when the mood hits us.
I'm really happy with it and truly grateful that after 3PAD, I can't imagine smoking cigs again. I got really ...... off the other night, and there is a full pack of cigs that has been laying around here in a kitchen drawer. I grabbed one, went out on the porch, lit it up, and just about gagged. Tossed it after about two really small hits. It was way nasty!
Yep, I'm done. There is no comparison, Vaping is far superior. In my mind, it's a much more advanced "future" way of smoking.
Take care everyone, see ya around.
