I began vaping 2 days ago at 4 pm and have not picked up an analogue cigarette once even though I have 2 full cartons sitting right under this desk.
I have no craving what so ever for a regular cigarette.

I find this absolutely amazing! I expected to be off the wall jonseing for a smoke but nope.

I did a bit of casual research earlier in the week and then two things happened: I read a post about vaping in a forum at another website AND I found out my usual method of purchasing cigarettes was being banned as of today.

I had no intention of paying full NY price for a pack of cigarettes nor did I have any intention of quitting nicotine.

So I IMed that member who was incredibly helpful in answering many of my questions and he led me here where I have read as many FAQs and inf o as I could.

I ordered and received a nice starter kit from cignot At the recommendation of that member who is also a member here and has done reviews and have been messing with it since Thursday. It is a 510.

I got more that a bit light headed that first day - actually had a buzz going on for a while which was not a horrible thing - but other than a bit of stuffiness and a slight headache above my eyes (which could be from anything I am sure) I have not had any side effects.

Maybe because I am using VG based juice?

I keep waiting for the cravings, the muscle aches, the headaches, the runs, the acne, and the nose bleeds but 2 days and no real issues.

Not sure how much I am vaping in so far as mls or mgs or in comparison to smoking Marlboro Ultra Light 100s at a pack a day but I must be doing something right because I feel damn good. I tried the pre filled carts that came wit the kit, I have topped them off with some e juice that came with the kit and I have filled blanks that came with the kit. Everything tasted OK but I want to see what else is out there now. :)

I have been smoking since I was 18ish and am now 44. Other than the 9 months that I was pregnant with my son I have never quit smoking. Hubby went cold turkey over a year ago and though I do not smoke in our home (even vaping out of habit) I know I must have stunk!

I am so incredibly psyched that I can still get the nicotine I want with out the smoke I don't want.

I am going to learn about making my own cartridges, about the different flavors and strengths and try to help a few other people convert because, as I said, I cannot believe this is working.

Love this vaping!

Welcome Boomboom (I just typoed your name as boobboom lol :facepalm:)

Remember to drink drink drink now youre a vaper or you'll find your throat start to feel a bit tight or even sore - this is normal as both PG and VG are humectants and draw water to themselves from their surroundings - that includes YOU; so stay ahead of the curve by keeping hydrated :)

Welcome!

If you have any more questions / concerns, never hesitate to contact me here, or at the other forum, but as you can see, theres tons of helpful folk here too.

Glad you're making the switch, and as CaptJay said, hydration is important. Rinse your mouth out before going to bed (taking a few gulps helps too) to avoid waking up with dry mouth :)

Again, welcome, and Congrats!

-Jason

I already drink so much water my boss things I have a drug problem I am in the restroom so much but will add some extra for good measure.
I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak.
This is still too easy. The feel of it in my hand and the draw of the vapor is what is working for me. If I did not have that oral sensation and used something like the patch I would be eating eating eating which I cannot afford to do.

I have several friends who keep asking me "have you smoked yet?" They figure if I can do this they can too.

Might have some other converts here soon. :p

I am going to pay it forward as my sponsor mendnwngs recommended.
