First day today!

[razor4432]

8.5 hrs in and still no need to run to a gas station and get the analogs. I'm loving this! Wish I would have gone this route sooner. Having to go to the bathroom a ton is taking some getting used to but it's totally worth it

I think I am going to pick a bottle of 18mg nic and 24 mg nic liquid tomorrow, the 18mg I'm feeling a little just weird at times. Kinda the craving for a cig feeling, it's manageable but semi-uncomfortable. Thinking about getting Mango and Menthol. Love Mango and smoked menthols so it should be a win/win combo in my book. Considering getting a clearo too for the added capacity, want to make sure I can get through the work day without needing to fill up. Been vaping on the menthol pretty hard today and it's down a bit but not empty. Tried all of them and of the samples I did the Strawberry is actually probably my least favorite. (Tried Strawberry, Menthol, Vanilla Menthol, Cherry Cola and Juicy Fruit)

Welcome mate!

Welcome razor4432! Congrats on giving up the coffin nails. It feels great doesn't it? The mental lift from finding something that actually works for you is HUGE. Soon you start feeling better physically and wondering were vaping has been all your life.

Congrats! I'm about a week further down the road than you, and it's been almost TOO easy!

I will definitely have to give thanks to a guy at work who I went to middle school and high school with for getting me to finally get an e-cig. He got one about a month ago and said he hasn't touched the smokies since the day he got one. He smoked as much as I did and hearing that gave me the nudge I needed to go and buy one.

Good job and keep up the good work! Before you know it the folks at the DFW vapor shop will know you by name. Also, don't forget to pick up a punch card when in the store and buying your juice. Buy 10, get 1 free. 7 more to go for me till my free one. I picked up the Sour Cherry flavor the other day and it's a nice lil vape. I still prefer the Brawndo flavor which is pretty much a lemon lime gatorade type of flavor. One thing that always amazes me about that store is that they are constantly busy. In the month and a half I've been going to that store it has never had fewer than 4 customers in the small shop, and many times it's closer to 15+ when I'm there, but they are still there to help you figure it out and find everything you need.

Now..... When will I finally go and get my first mod? And which one...... Too many to choose from. (The provari, sadly, is out of the picture as it's out of my budget. Well, actually it's out of my wife's budget.)

Got my punch card today, 2 punches down 8 to go Yesterday they were pretty busy at the Lewisville shop, today not to bad only 1 other customer.

Picked up a Stardust and Mango and US Menthol liquid. Really digging the Mango and the stardust is much better than the normal ego cartridges imo. Stardust seems to be a bit more of a juice hog though.

good luck - hope you manage to stick to e-cig. plenty of good info on here.
good choice of e-cig to start getting serious

ProVari's are worth the extra cash. They are the only non mechanical mod that I feel comfortable calling a "lifetime" investment. With that out of the way, you might want to consider an eGo twist, a Vamo, or an eVic. All are variable voltage, and all are relatively decent. The eGo twist should be considered disposable and will last 6 months to a year. The Vamo and eVic, could last you months or years.

gazza341 - I have no plan to go back, it is still strange to me right now but I don't get that disappointment/letdown feeling I did with cigarettes. And all the different flavors makes me want to continue too, plenty I want to try out.

Yes, it is a juice hog, but when they are working right they are great. Keep an eye out for leaks, you'll notice a gurgle when you pull on them, and you just need to clear off the battery post on your battery to clean up all the gunk on it. I've moved up to the cartotank, and I like that alot.

I've been vaping for 7 weeks with an ego twist and several different clearomizers. There's a lot to this world and it's fascinating, enjoying, and keeping me away from camels. Super happy dude here. Keep it up!

 

[seahawkin]

Welcome, grats and vape on!

 

[BakuPeg]

Congrats and welcome to ECF! Glad to hear all about your transition, it DOES get eaiser!

So 34 hours and 15 minutes in, only had a tiny blip this evening after leaving the bowling alley. Had a really bad craving and bummed a cig (paid a guy $1 for it) and took a few puffs then put it out. Really needed the quick fix that I have noticed e-cig doesn't quite give me. I'm not going to consider that killing my analog free streak, sure plenty have done that secretly too lol. Other than that haven't had a single analog since yesterday 1:30pm. I'm really digging the stardust, a lot more vapor and flavor than the original cartridges with the ego-c and the throat hit to me is more what I got when I smoked. Going to pick a few more up next week, not sure how putting a new flavor in the one I'm using now will work but with it being menthol I think it'll be fine.

Bliss Doubt - I love vaping, the flavors are definitely awesome! Right now I am using 24mg Mango and have an 18mg Menthol, plan to gradually step down the nic content over several months (make it my goal for this year's end) until I'm to 0.

My first day I was chain vaping after I got it, but I felt like I was going too hard on it so I'd force myself to set it down. 2 seconds after I set it down I'd instinctively reach for a pack that wasn't there and realize that it was never going to be there. It took almost 2 days to break that habit and after that the only hard times I've had is when I get some liquid courage in me. Seems like I can't vape fast enough those nights but I hope that breaks too.

Congrats so far.

 

[razor4432]

Yeah I notice I'm vaping pretty hard when I'm at home, but driving I would say is equivalent to when I smoked. I figure since I'm not getting headaches or anything chain vaping why slow down?

Might be a little different next week when I go back to work, took vacation this week, but I'll adjust. Don't have a job that would allow me to vape whenever I want to, too much moving around and such.

Is it just me or did everyone else have to do more than what they actually smoked to get their banner right?

My problem was getting the GMT conversion right after that it seems like it's been working fine. I had to go half an hour before I actually quit. I quit at 6:30 pm MST had to put 6:00 MST.
