Much to this effect I took to the Temperature Control craze quite fast. Now it may offer vaping at a much lower and "albeit" safer temp is still in its infancy when it comes to complete evidence as well. But with that said I'm enjoying profusely and things like this keep me hooked into the hobby.
Buzz? What is this buzz thing you speak of?
Coffee and nicotine do not give me a buzz, they just relieve the state of catatonia that I'd otherwise be in.

They enable me to actually remember whatever I was just thinking about.
No buzz since 1975, smoking at the skating rink and having to sit out skating until the spinning head got straight again. Andria
Lol, I can relate to that, but I quit going around 77 or 78. Wish I'd never had a cigarette after that, either!They enable me to actually remember whatever I was just thinking about.

I've only been vaping for a few months now, and quitting is not something that I'm thinking about right now, since I basically chain vape. I'm still at 18 mg Nic, but soon when I buy my next new juices, I think that I'm going to try 12 mg, and stick with that for a few months.
I do eventually plan on bringing it all the way down to zero, I'm in no big rush.

42 years of stinkies, and 4 packs is my story too. A mini stroke was my motivation...it worked first time. I too started @ 24mg and am now on 3mg and playing around with 0mg. All this since Nov. 2014. A pretty quick journey.I don't plan to ever stop vaping. I have a lot of money tied up in this hobby of mine, and I enjoy it greatly.
I was a chain smoker and worked my way up to nearly 4 packs a day after 42 years of smoking. I started off vaping 24mg of nic and continued that for well over a year. I'm now down to 6mg and thinking of trying to go down to 3mg.
I consider vaping to be a great success in my ability to quit smoking. I tried many times to quit. It seemed like every time I tried to quit and failed I smoked more than I had before I tried...kind of like trying to make up for lost time smoking. I even tried hypnosis twice and acupuncture. Needless to say, nothing worked for me until I started vaping. It even took me 3 tries at vaping before it worked. Being a hard core chain smoker who quit by vaping speaks for itself at to how vaping can work for pretty much anyone.
Nowadays I can stand right next to a smoker and not crave a smoke. I don't enjoy the smell, but it doesn't bother me in the least either. I call that a win.
My story is a little different and a lot of vaperers I've met tell me to keep sharing it. I had a heart attack on Dec. 30, 2014. It was bad. 3 stents and 8 days in the hospital. I smoked for a week after getting out but only 4 cigs a day until I found a good place to get some gear. The worst part of this is I had a daughter born on Nov. 20. and she almost grew up without a father. 20 years of smoking and stress did this. I am not over weight nor do had I had any health issues prior. The doctors told me that the arteries around your heart harden with smoking and if they could have flexed more during times of stress, blood flow could have been sustained. Vaping may extend the years I have left with my family if too much damage isn't already done. I'm only 41.
I thought about buying a vapor shark but I just can't justify spending 200 dollars on a 40w. What's the deal? Is it really durable and reliable? You can get a 50w sigelei for less. I know vs uses an evolv chip.
I plan to quit vaping when I'm 85..smoked for 35 years ..like this better..I'm resistant to change..so make that 95 
I was a 2PAD Swisher Sweet Cherry Cigar smoker during my last 6 years of smoking. That is what I had to use after Chantex got me off Marlboro Red 100 cigarettes.. 
I Have quit smoking. I can not go back. I will not go back. Pass any stupid law you want. You can not stop me from vaping since I can make everything I need.
I started with 48mg Nic to get me off those cigars.. reduced to 36mg after about 45 days. Reduced that further to about 21mg after 3 months and started DIYing my own liquids. 4 months ago, I reduced it to 9mg with 6 and 3mg mixes in there for the heavy hitting devices I use. I may even play with 0 nic now and then, but I will not go totally nic free. I don't want to. I'm stocked for the next many years with 10mg base (gallons) and 100mg nic for backup.
My wife is the same. As long as I can keep her happy in her vaping, she never wants to quit either.
Now, since this is my only vice, other than chasing younger women (Wife doesn't mind
) I think I'm doing pretty good!

I started at 12mg/ml and recently cut back to 6. I might go to 3 at some point, but as of now I don't think I'll quit cus I enjoy it.
I bought mine from scratch and dent so it was about 134 with sharkskin added to it. I figured why not since it was under warranty still. Only was missing some finish by the 510 connex so I saved 60 easily. I'm all about TC these days so with its small size plus the large screen dna40 w/ atty lock I couldn't pass up on that price.
I was a smoker till two months ago - smoking since I was 16 and now my numbers are reversed - 61. I didn't really plan to either quit or start vaping. An in-law of mine, also a heavy long-time smoker who lives in another country, told me she had switched to vaping and was feeling much better. I just thought I would give it a try. Within a week I was totally hooked and couldn't believe why I hadn't thought of it before. I have only smoked 5 analogs in the last two months - only to check whether I was really off them and I am. I find them horrid with no satisfaction at all. I already smoke very low nic and would probably go down to zero with no problem. Will I ever quit vaping? - well I don't foresee that happening in the very near future. I have actually invested quite heavily to make sure I am more or less self-sufficient for the coming 3 to 5 years just in case. I enjoy vaping. It is an experience in itself that leaves smoking in the dust... or is that ash.
Happy that you're still with us, and with your new daughter too!! Any plans on the drawing board for a bypass? My stepfather had a major heart attack in March, and discovered that he needed a triple bypass, because of those cardiac arteries. By the time he was out of the hospital and we went to visit him in the rehab-care place, his color was pink and lively as it hadn't been for 20-30 yrs.

I will never, try to re-learn, how to smoke! Like so many others, "if I only knew then what I know now" ,, about smoking cigs. I like the flavors too much to stop vaping!
I hope to God I don't have to get a bypass. My uncle and grandfather both had it done. It must be one of the worst things a human can go through. That is if you live through it. The operation is more common today with less complications but I still don't want to have someone fiddling with my heart. The stents were bad enough. I'm thankful for vaping otherwise I would have gone coldturkey. My goals in life now are to see my 5 month old get her diploma and have my 5 year old hand me a grandbaby.Happy that you're still with us, and with your new daughter too!!
