First post... two months in

[howiez]

Hi,

My first post here, I've been lurking forever. I am 32 and was a pack a day smoker since 16... 1/2 my life I guess! I have tried nearly everything I coudl find over the years, the patch 3 or 4 times, gum, etc. etc. I was only able to quit for a few days at a time, with major problems. It was all that was on my mind all of the time. I did quit for several months with Ziban, but the drug was making me so ill I couldn't eat... Lost about 15 pounds, but not in a good way..

Anyway, a few months ago I saw an ad for e cigs, and had a look. I was interested, and the price had come down a lot since last I saw, so I decided to order one. I started vaping about 2 1/2 months ago, trying to use it with cigarettes. I slowly cut down on my analogs until one day I just said... Let's see how long I can go without a 'real' cigarette. That was 2 months ago.

My wife and best friend both smoke, and smoke around me all the time. It used to be tempting, but not so much I ever reached for one.

I bought a 510, and am very happy. I started with carts, switched to dripping a few weeks ago. I would like to thank everyone on this forum... I leared a lot of tips and tecniques that have helped me along my way. I just need to get my wife on board and we will be a happy vaping family.\

Hey that's awesome man. Congratulations. Just bribe your wife. Tell her you'll give her a massage for 30 days in a row if she'll vape for 30 days in a row.

My wife has tried my 510, but says she doens't like the flavor, and its too 'harsh' on her throat. I'm ordering her a 801, which I've tried, and seems to be a less agressive throat hit. They come in pink, right???

 

[Seabrook]

Well I thought it was the 901 with less throat hit and the 801 with more throat hit. Got that off a review i read some time back. And again, i thought it was the 901 that comes in pink and red and purple. can't remember.

Yep, I believe you;re correct. I know the 901 comes in lots of colors if you shop around. Dse-901 that link is to the place I buy my attys from. I just looked and they're out of pink starter kits right now but I'm sure they'll get more.
Cheers

Yes, the 901 is much easier with the TH. I have the 510 also.
They both serve their purposes. And, remember, your wife will be ready when SHE is ready. Be patient. Show her how well you are doing.
Welcome, and Happy Vaping!!

Congratulations! Glad you finally decided to join in the conversation. I hope the wife comes around. I was the same way trying to quit; smoked since I was 13 and I'm 38 now. I was able to quit for 6 months once but I dreamed about smoking every single night for the entire time, it was horrible! I finally decided I'd rather die too young but happy and relaxed than live to a ripe old miserable age.

And then I found e-cigarettes. The End.
