Hi All, i am just curious, does vaping really helps to quit smoking.
i mean, will you immediately give up cigarettes after you start vaping?

We completly stopped smoking after 1 day.. Just make sure you have an ego battery or bigger because if you run out of battery you may have a problem. Also making sure you vape good flavors and finding the right ones for you is key IMO

ahahaha.. u quit smoking, but start vaping.. but hell, its healthier..

That's the goal for most of us. To start vaping so we can quit smoking.

Using a PV to get off the cigs is just switching one habit for another. I think we all know that.

However, all evidence is that vaping is healthier than smoking. It's cheaper than smoking. It doesn't smell up everything around you. You can do it more places. You can buy juice with no nicotine, or with whatever level of nic you want, which gives you the opportunity, if you want, of gradually cutting down the nicotine to 0.

Yes, we're just switching from smoking to vaping. But I haven't seen any downside to that, and there are lots of good things about it.

I never came close to quitting before I bought my eGo. Lots of people here post that they smoked for years, tried to quit, and were never successful until they started vaping.

If you want to laugh about that and pretend it's a bad thing, you go ahead. It's helping a lot of people whether you act laugh about it or not.

To me, it completely makes sense to vape so you can quit smoking. If you weren't smoking before, then starting to vape would make no sense at all. Much like starting to smoke when you aren't already smoking is a bad plan.

If it was easy to just quit smoking without replacing it with anything, most of us wouldn't be here.

Brother-in-law:

30 unfiltered roll-yer-own habit for 25 years.

Started vaping 3 weeks ago.

Immediately dropped to 1 analog per day after dinner (habit/ritual too hard to break right away).

Stopped with the 1/day 10 days ago. Occasionally wants an analog, but it's mostly just out of residual habit, and it passes after a few hits of his digital.

He's a big fan of the Halo G6 with Torque56 24mg/ml as it gives him a very realistic simulation of his previous analog habit.

you have to research a good ecig. don't buy one at a mall there first gen and junk. You have to be ready to stop smoking. They are not direct replacements there is a difference. But if you are committed to quitting they are amazing. You have to give a few things your use to like lighters,ashtrays,smelling like smoke, hacking and spending $6 a day, if your willing to except the changes for a ecig an commit to a good one them you will never miss the analogs. got a ego for
my girl and she has not wanted a newport in 3 months. You have a learning curve to accept vapeing but its only 3 days.

I smoked for 20 years and after getting my Riva I finished my last pack and didn't buy another. At first I had issues in the morning but used a higher nic juice. There was a small change in my attitude and smoking routines bugged me for about 2-3 days but it was manageable unlike when I tried quitting cold turkey or with the patch. I thought work was going to be the hardest time without smokes but it was the easiest.

Browsing these forums at work helped a lot. Plus the pv was glued to my mouth for about a week... I think I vaped 10ml a day.

New here, here's my take. I was a smoker for 3 years, but was an off again-on again smoker for the last year. I quit a couple times with patches and lozenges but always got sucked back in. I did a fair bit of research before buying my first PV, a 510-T system. It did its job; I haven't bought a pack of cigarettes since. They work if you want it to.

That said, I wish I had found the ecf from day one. I quickly started searching for something better and moved up the ladder of Pv's to an ego-T low resistance, then a 5v box mod, and finally a Reo. Had I known about ecf from the start, my journey to find my vaping sweet spot would have been much shorter and less expensive.
