One week ago today I quit smoking analogs, after nearly 20 years of 1 pack/day (sometimes a bit more). The electronic cig has been *amazing*. Although well aware of the health & financial costs of tobacco smoking, I wasn't super motivated to quit b/c I had no desire to go through the agonies of quitting. About two years ago, I bought an e-cig from Greensmoke and found it to be pretty ineffective. This fall, I stumbled upon this forum and saw that so many people who loved smoking and who had been smoking longer than I had were now devotees of vaping. After reading here, I bought the Ego-T device about 2 months ago and let it sit in the box for over a month before I even opened it. Last Thursday morning, I smoked my last analog at 9 a.m. and was too lazy to go to the store to buy another pack of smokes. I looked at the Ego-T and thought, what the hell, I might as well try it for the day. I began vaping and whenever I felt a craving for an analog, I came over to this forum and read about ppl's experiences which further inspired me. Once I went 24 hours without an analog and woke up the next morning without my usual hacking cough, I was super motivated to keep going with it. Naturally, I then bought even more vaping supplies based up recommendations of this board. I've had daily cravings for analogs, but nothing really bad--just a sharp sudden desire for one which would quickly pass--and when I would have a craving, I would just madly vape away. And then, yesterday, I was busy doing work when I had my first craving not for an analog but for a VAPE!!! Wooohoo!!!
So thank you to everyone here for posting about your stories and experiences and for giving good advice--I am now a convert! Who knew that quitting tobacco could be so easy???? It's also funny that when I first bought the Ego-T I wasn't interested in the flavored juices/e-liquids because I just wanted to simulate the smoking experience as much as possible, so I only bought the tobacco flavored juices. However, last weekend (to celebrate my first 48 hrs w/o an analog) I bought a bunch of different liquids and I've found that I actually prefer the flavored liquids to the tobacco e-liquid. I now have a new favorite: Creme de Menthe from the Vaper Pro---soooo good, it's like eating a peppermint patty and smoking all at once
