ex-smoker.....new vap'r

[the_big_fig]

Hello all,

It's been a week since I quit smoking regular cigs and started e-cigs. So far I like it and have stayed off the real ones. Tried everything to quit, gum, patch, hypnosis, chantix.....you name it I tried it. But I like the e-cigs. Want to wean myself down on the nic to the point where I can vap the zero nic juice just for pleasure.

Have been smoking for more years than I care to admit to (25+ yrs) and never realized just how popular the e-cig world was. This is the future, for me at least.

Welcome Big Fig!

Great and glad you've joined the revolution!

Hope it continues to work for you as it has for many of us and I've been off over a week now and feeling great about it. I've upgraded already to a different setup/delivery system so if you come to the point where you think your current setup/e-cig isn't cutting it and you about to give up hope; come back to these forums and spend some time researching new devices, ways and delivery systems before going back to the analogs! I found reading and chatting on the ECF IRC was highly beneficial when I had weak moments and consuming my mind with research on a new vaping system helped me stay analog free all the while learning and finding other ways to vape.

Best of luck!

Although you ultimately plan to go down to 0 nic, you might want to put that off for awhile. After smoking for a long time (40 yrs for me), your body has grown accustom to a certain level of nicotine. Without it, you will likely find yourself still craving analogs even while vaping your brains out. Vaping is fun, and offers enough simulation to address the psychological addiction, but there is still the physical side.

Congrats to you and best of luck!

You have definitely moved on to a much better solution!

Best of luck to you and Vape On!

Congrats. I have been analog free for 15 days and did the same thing as you. I do plan to ween myself off but I have been smoking for 29 years. So I will be awhile before I am totally off nicotine.
