Has the world gone MAD ? ? ?

[Memphis Weirdo]

I didn't intend to quit analogs. There were all kinds of crazy stories about people quitting with ease, but no one with a brain would fall for that, right? I mean, no one gets off the cigarette hook without paying a dear price.

I heard about e-cigs and thought that there was a chance they might allow me to cut back on the analogs, but I never actually considered a "quitting strategy", or anything like that.

Well, I researched and read, decided and ordered. When all of my orders finally arrived, I had a really hard time starting out, but the kind members of this forum nursed me through that difficult period. Soon, the pieces fell into place and I found myself enjoying it immensely.

Then, a funny thing happened on the way to the ashtray... I simply forgot about analogs. I didn't care about them, and I didn't desire them. They just went away, without any effort on my part. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since my last cigarette, and I've had no desire to light up. I just don't care.

Another weird thing. When I was smoking, I drank A LOT of coca-cola. I'm talking about 3 liters per day of coke. Think about how much caffeine and sugar that is. That has to be brutal on your body, but coke soothed my throat when I was smoking, so I drank a lot.

When I left cigarettes behind, my desire for coke also disappeared... and I had absolutely no withdrawal effects from the sudden disappearance of massive sugar and caffeine from my diet. No headaches... nothing.

How is that possible? It defies all laws of biological physics.

Is this all too good to be true? Am I living in some kind of an artificial dream state? Have I fallen under the spell of a weirdo cult? Have I gone insane?

OR... Is there an unknown "other shoe" that will eventually drop? Will we eventually find that vaping turns people into rabid zombies, like in the movie I Am Legend ?

Is this a life-saving gift from above, or has the world gone mad?

Actually, I don't even care, because I'm too busy vaping a cartomizer full of Arctic Ice from Vapor Bomb, and I'm loving the fact that I don't smoke cigarettes any more.

That's all for now.

Congrats and just vape like crazy if you get a yen for an analog.

I was the same with Pepsi---lost the taste for it for a long time---it finally found me though. I drink diet only though and do try to keep it at a minimum cause of the aspartame.

 

[Bozzlite]

Well, Memphis, its been almost a year for me. I felt the same way as you a couple of months in to vaping. "When is the other shoe gonna drop?"

But so far, no more shoes from the tenants above. It's still working.

Great post! I was a heavy smoker for about 56 years & quit the day I received my Joye 510 kit, and haven't smoked since then. That was about 11 1/2 months ago. So... eCigs do work.

 

[keyzygirl]

2yrs for me and its still all good.No worries!!Just enjoy it!!

 

[Stosh]

Congrats on quitting without intending to quit, whatever works is good!!

Errr, the weirdo cult meets over in the modders forum,
making PVs out of old computer parts and coconuts. LOL

 

[cookiebun]

Wow, I think you may have beat me on the cola consumption. I drank about 2 liters a day but it was caffeine free diet.
Congrats on dumping the analogs. Great isn't it?

 

[epic1si]

same here been about 4 months quit the day i got my joye ego and haven't looked back

 

[MTV]

I quit on Saturday and still half a pack of Marlboro's on the coffee table and 3 full pack in the fridge...just having to much fun vaping to even worry about it

 

[classwife]

I cut back the colas AND the coffee !! (smoked for 40+ years...)

Marvelous isn't it !

 

[symphynity]

Im at the end of my first week , and now hate the smell of burning tobacco !! ( Did I really subject everyone to that foul smell for so many years? Sorry about that !),

 

[Olef]

I hear ya! Once you vape the cigs become irrelevant, and after smoking for decades that is quite shocking! As you say though who cares? You can feel the health benefits even though you are still getting your smoking fix. Perhaps there may be a sting in the tail of vaping we don't know about yet. But knowing what tobacco does what are the odds vaping could be worse? How can we all feel so much better and see so much health benefit if it is so bad? Surely something would have shown up in those who have been vaping for years. We live in hope!!!

I just came back home from the farm today. There was a pack of leftover cigs in one of the tractors that I completely ignored. I left them there on purpose I guess as a kind of sick test of my resolve. I've been vaping for about two months now. I am one of those lucky souls that quit smokes overnight when my kit arrived. The boys were all looking at me funny using my mini box mod. They're probably going around telling everyone I'm smoking something else. I don't care. Good luck.

 

[Dee74]

Yes, Memphis I am so glad it has worked for you like it has for me, I celebrate 1 yr 4th of July, talk about Independence day!

 

[iamtopher34]

I hope you stick with it i took me almost a year to make the switch just had to find the combo of pv juice and atty carto that worked for me i just wish i didnt have to pay sooo much for the ones i want but congrats on not smoking i think the the smell of cigs and the breath of smokers is the best anti anolog anyone needs!! Yuk

 

[Drak]

Utterly fantastic!

My odd thing was coffee. I was sucking down 1.5 pots every day (and still had no energy to speak of) and when I started vaping, for reasons I still can't explain, the coffee just fell by the wayside (I just forgot to drink it) much as the urge for analogs just fell away with no effort...weird...and now the energy is returning without either one.

Vaping ROCKS!

 

[Nomoreash]

1 year next month for me, don't remember the date just the first week of August. Maybe I'll just celebrate the whole week.
