Greetings All. My name is Eric, and I am only just starting my vaping odyssey. Glad to find this board, as I still have lots to learn. I have a lot of questions to ask, and I am eager to learn as much as I can about this incredible technology.

My wife and I used to smoke almost a pack a day of regular cigs on-and-off for over 30 years. We both decided it was time for us to make the change, but knew we couldn't do it through conventional cessation techniques (patches, gum, etc.). We started using the Blu disposables, which worked OK, but we also knew we wanted something better. So we upgraded to two CE5 units from E-Cig Express (located in nearby Bellingham, WA), and we could not be happier. We both vape their full-flavored tobacco blend (50/50 PG-VG), with mine at 6 mg of nicotine, and my wife's at 12 mg.

My last analog cig was two weeks ago, and my wife is down to only one analog a day. After this final pack, we will buy them no more, and vape full-time.

I am already starting to feel the benefits from stopping the analogs (along with the effects of detox, but I know this will pass given time). To be able to stay indoors and vape, while not causing damage to myself or my family, still blows me away. I still cannot get my head around it.

Anyways, I just wanted to say hello to Everyone. Cheers.

New guy has to bring pastries...its a rule I made up. But it applies.

I quit cigs too, recently and I feel a bit better..and am happy to be away from tobacco.

Check out some of the juice makers folks like (Ahlusion, Alice in Vapeland, Nicoticket are all current faves of mine). You will want a decent supply of juice. Luckily you have local retailers, where I am at there arent any. It seems like no one really knows about vaping here yet those silly e-fakes are in every gas station. Blech!

Im vaping Ahlusion Blueberry-Vanilla now and some Grape Cotton Candy from Nicoticket, on coils/wicks I did myself. This blows the crap outta tobacco!

MMM grapey...

Thank you Everyone for your warm welcomes and support!

I'm almost one month into vaping with no regular cigarettes at all. I am now using a re-branded Ego Spinner with an Evod clearomizer. So far, my favorite e-juice is Full Flavored Tobacco from E-Cig Express in Bellingham, WA. Since I'm into more vapor, but less throat hit, I am now at 100% VG. I am also down to 6 mg of nicotine. My wife has the exact same rig, and is using the same juice. She is now almost two weeks without an analog cig.

So yesterday, I got together with my band mates for some jamming. Our guitarist had been out of town for about two weeks, so this was the first time we had gotten together again in some time. He remarked how impressed he was with us for quitting cigarettes (he has always hated smoking), and then he says "and you know what? You don't look pale anymore. You've got color in your face for the first time!"

Yet another positive side-effect of quitting smoking, I reckon. :blush:

Our drummer has also smoked for over half his life, and he is now vaping in an effort to stop the analogs. :vapor:
