Yes, stopped in 1 day with vapor... Best thing that ever happened to a 2 1/2 pack a day smoker! Have no desire for a smoke and it's been over 6 months!
stopped after smoking a pack/day for 40 yrs. took about 10 days with the m401 and some analogs but completely smokefree now since 3-01-10
I think the last cigarette I had was back in September, and even then, I smoked it knowing full well how gross it was going to taste.
Haven't smoked in almost 2 months and will never look back. I feel great, no coughing and I started exercising again because I can actually breath now!! Also my teeth are already noticeably whiter.
I have been tobacco free since April 7, 2009!!! I dont miss smoking at all. My sense of taste and smell are back and I can really breathe!! I totally enjoy vaping, far more than I ever enjoyed smoking. I smoked for 37 years.
Good for you Almond! Hope things are back to normal after your surgery.
I hit my 1 year mark of not smoking and now am trying to wean myself off e-cigs. I may continue to vape once in a while..but I am not feeling the need to do it all the time anymore. I also live with a smoker who uses a P.V. from time to time.
This ends a 37 year, 2 pack a day habit!
Hope for us is out there people..keep vaping!

I went from a pack and a half of reds chain smoking to zero smokes from day one. year and a half now and also found myself going from chain vaping to easily going without if need be...
the first or second week I got caught in the field with dead batts and bought a pack of smokes, lit one, found it disgusting and chucked the whole pack.
Sometime a few months back (not sure exactly) I bummed one and lit it just to see..... uggh.... chucked it as well after 2 puffs....
I have significantly reduced the vaping with MBL snus mild and spearmint while at work...

I'm about to hit my four week analog free date in another day. I started vaping with a 510, still smoked between 2-4 cigs a day. About a month in got so frustrated with the inconsistancy of it and crept up to 6-10. I ordered a couple chucks, a bunch more juice and a pile of cartomizers and vowed I would quit when I got the mod. I was truly hoping the extra oomph would get me over the hump and it has.
I commend the folks who just quit overnight with vaping. I still have days with the back of my brain whispering how good it would be to have a cigarette. When that happens I just switch to six volt vaping for the day and that usually shuts that evil little voice down. I smoked for 28 years and seem to have a small struggle with the beast from within but this time it will not win!

three months plus since quitting the day my first battery finished charging....never even finished my last pack....
Quitting on ecigs was the easiest way of quitting I've ever tried. The only snag I ever ran into was the first few days when I first woke up, I wanted a cig real bad. Now I barely remember what they even taste like.
An old post, but worth clarifying. Anti-freeze used to contain ethylene glycol which is poisonous and also sweet tasting. Animals, especially dogs, found that the sweet taste was attractive and they would lick up puddles of anti-freeze where a car ran hot and leaked water and anti-freeze on the pavement. The animals usually died later!
A few years ago, in some anti-freeze the ethylene glycol was replaced with PROPYLENE GLYCOL which is a food additive that is also interchangeable with EG. The ones that still contain more than 10% EG have to have a bittering agent to keep animals from finding it palatable.
PG (propylene glycol) is used in many food applications, medicines, etc. See link below.

Here's a link that explains why we still want a cigarette occasionally after quitting, even with E-cigs.
This is your brain on nicotine
Was able to quit completely on 12/10/09 with my first e-cig. No withdraw at all.
I went to the E-cig and didn't have any craving for a cigarette at all. I light up once, about 3 months into E-cig only and found out I didn't like the taste any more. Three puffs and I was putting it out and getting my PV out. Been analog free for 11 months except for those three puffs.
