Finally breaking FREE

[hodges4]

Hey everyone. First post on this awesome forum.

I'm 27 and been smoking analogs since around 11. Had my first at 8 and gradually progressed to full time smoker at age 11.

Last month I was smoking a pack and a half a day with not much incentive to quit( I like smoking). Today I am down to one or two cigs a day. One when I wake up and one before bed, only if I really want it. All thanks to vaping.

I plan to be smoke free by next month and my Kamry X6 mod and all of you on this forum solidify my confidence that I will achieve my goal.

Thanks to you all on this forum filled of knowledge I'm already rebuilding atomizers and learning more every day.

I'm vaping happy

Welcome Aboard!
First at 8! Wow man! You sure are an early starter... I started at 12 myself.
Getting down to just a few a day is an accomplishment in itself! Bet you never thought you would be able to achieve such a thing, did you?
The Kamry X6 is a fine device to get started with.
Good luck with the transition... I'm sure I'll run into you somewhere in the forum.

I started very young too and loved it from the first drag, yes I did. Same with vaping, from the first I loved it. Took awhile to totally 100% cig free, but I kept with it and found what I like. Welcome

Congrats and welcome! I'm pretty new myself. Before you know it you won't even want a cigarette.

 

[hodges4]

Thanks for all the congrats folks. It's very appreciated. Fully a non smoker now. Have almost a month down without an anolog, don't even want the damned things anymore.

Upgraded to the Hcigar Kayfun 3.1 clone since last post. It's vaping just beautifully.

Thanks again all. I love this place.
I'm Vaping Happy

Hi hodges and welcome to the wonderful world of vaping. Glad you joined ECF and will be participating in our community. Congrats on cutting WAY back on analogs. I believe you will be smoke free pretty darned soon. If it is next month, that is great, but if not, remember to count the ones you don's smoke, not the ones you do. Everyone's path is different and cutting out 23 analogs a day is a HUGE accomplishment.

I hope your vaping journey continues to grow and that you find the gear and the flavors that will continue to work for you. Sounds like you are off to a great start and are learning at a pretty fast pace. Fantastic.

Keep sharing your experience because it gives others hope that vaping can be a replacement for analogs. And that we can enjoy it way more than we enjoyed smoking. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I really do enjoy hearing success stories.

Keep the vape and namaste.

Congrats Hodges! Just keep vapeing and in no time you won't believe you ever wanted a cigarette!

 

[Simply Red]

Glad you didn't wait 40+ years like I did. Started when I was 9. Welcome to the forum!

Happy Vaping!!

 

[UnclePsyko]

Nice! Feels good to be able to say "Non-Smoker" isn't it? The KF3.1 is a great piece of hardware, I'm loving mine as well.
Here's to being smoke-free brotha!
Check in more often, keep us up to speed!

 

[revco]

I was just thinking...it's a good thing we check ID?!?! I don't even think you could fake it at 8 years old. Hahaha.

Congrats on cutting down. You'll be surprised how easy it is. When those cravings hit, just vape, vape vape! Couple minutes later, you'll be doing something else and it'll be an afterthought you wanted a smoke! After a couple weeks or so, the quakes will be minor and almost non-existent.

Good luck on your journey! Welcome to ECF!

Yay for you Hodges4. I have only been smoke free for a month and I already feel so much better. You are young, compared to me, so you should be running 5 miles without even one huff or puff soon!

 

[baronjager]

Congrats on your success so far. It won't be to long and you will light up one and it will just taste horrible. That will be the first day of the rest of your vaping life.

 

[mraymer]

Welcome and congratulations. I myself just hit the 24 hour mark without a cigarette. I won't lie and say I don't want one, but my KFL+ is keeping me from lighting up. It's not as hard as I thought it might be. I've been smoking for 30 years, enough is enough. For those of you who quit lifelong habits, how long was it before you started feeling better? I can't run 50 yards now without feeling like my lungs are on fire and will explode. I want to be active without feeling like I'm going to die.
