Been 15 days now after getting the ecig. Amazing replacement! After 35 years of heavy smoking. I wasn't even trying to quit. Just tried and didnt need to anymore. Lovin vaping and not missing analogs at all which just amazes me. Telling every smoker I can. It works. Need a good unit and good juice although it worked for me me even before I got it all figured out!

I have been analog free since January 17 ,2009 , I have puffed the occasional cigarillo but even they are nasty and I have no desire to combust anymore , I also vape medical 420 and my health has improved greatly my blood pressure was starting to get high just before I quit and now I'am at a healthy normal BP :) vaporizing is the way of the future for us silly humans who like to inhale nicotine or Thc .


Vape on !
 
Feb 13th was my last analog the very day I bought my 901 kit at a inflated price I might say oh well now we know how to order everything off the net. My husband finished his two packs. I found by having cig's with me all the time I never wanted one. I still have them in my car and half carton in the house, never thought about them until now wow that is exciting. You don't have to go cold turkey it's a life style change that you'll find very easy if you don't get up tight about it keep them with you. Good Lucky it will work :)
 
I passed the 1 year mark last month after smoking analogs for 14 years. But I did not quit immediately after getting my first e-cig. I got my first e-cig, a 901, at the end of 2008 and I didn't have the best experience...not because the 901 is bad, I just got a bad one. Stopped using it altogether out of frustration and then ordered a 510 in June of 2009 and have never smoked since. But I learned that I failed the first time for other reasons besides a crappy device:
1. When it arrived in the mail I still had 5 packs in the house. Make it a point to "finish off" all your analogs before you even open the box and tell yourself "ok now I'm going to smoke this going forward."
2. I never smoked analogs in the house so when I got the e-cig I was so excited to smoke in-doors that I stopped taking "smoke breaks." I kept craving a real cig even though I was od'ing on e-liquid and finally realized I was craving my routine, my smoke break. So the 2nd time around I used the e-cig exactly the same as analog and smoked it outdoors for the first week.
After 1 week of using an e-cig and ONLY an e-cig, the smell of an analog turned my stomach. Most (not all) find that if they go for a week or two of not smoking analogs, you will lose your taste for them...I get calls from customers all the time telling me they messed up and tried to smoke an analog and they choked on it. It's different for everyone of course...but this is what worked for me.
 
I found that when I lowered the nicotine level I was vaping a LOT more. I like to be able to take 4 or 5 massive puffs and not feel like I need to vape again (unless I want to) for quite a while. But nicotine senstivity is so subjective and different for everyone...almost like taste.

Six months tobacco-free now. I've cut back from 24mg liquid to 9.6mg (since I'm mixing TV's liquids, 3ml of the highest nic they sell plus 12ml of doubler in a 15ml bottle). I'll be cutting back farther in a couple of weeks!

Yeah, I can always count on vaping more right after I reduce the nic level, but I always wind up backing down to my "normal" vaping habit (about 2.5ml per day) after a week or two.
