I have a question about whether you think vaping is a way to stop smoking. If you have, how long has it been since you've smoked a cigarette?
Have you been able to quit smoking?

2 packs a day for 25 years.
Ive been completely cigarette free for a little over 2 years now. The actual number of days is in my signature below.

After 20 years of smoking a pack a day I was able to switch to vaping in one day. Still can't believe it but vaping was like a complete off switch to smoking for me.
Sure has used to smoke about 2 PAD for 20+ years. With only one slip up, until I found the right set-up for me. Before I had tried every method besides Chantix and none worked vaping has.
I quit 5 days after i got my first vaporizer, Talked my uncle and a cousin into trying it and they both quit smoking the day they bought one 
Been about 2 months for my cousin and going on two weeks for my uncle. We were all smoking more then a pack a day.

I definitely think it's a way to stop smoking, considering how much success I've found.
I was a 2 PAD smoker for about 4 years (I started when I was 15 or 16, and I have an addictive personality). I'd get bronchitis several times a year (early COPD) and would often go out late at night if I found myself without cigarettes. Cigarettes cut into my wallet, my health and my actual time (stopping to get cigarettes all the time). Last time I had a cigarette was about 8 months ago.
Started vaping about a year and 3 months ago. Before that I had tried Blu and some various cig-a-like devices, none of which worked as cessation techniques. I smoked for the ENTIRE time I had a Blu/etc. Once I got my Ego things changed a bit, but I still smoked cigarettes. After showing some friends my Ego/getting them into it, they discovered rebuildables/mechs on their own. That's what really got me off cigarettes.
Last time I smoked (and I have cheated a few times in my vape career) was during a camping trip. It was raining, and so it seemed only safe to stash the mechs and batteries in the car, and inevitably I ended up smoking a few cigarettes.
I was a 1-3PAD smoker for 40 years and just passed my 9 month mark cigarette free. I quit the very first day I got ego-t setup in the mail. I know for a fact I would still be smoking if it weren't for vaping.
That's fantastic! Why do you think that is? I smoked a pack a day and I find that the transition was easier than I thought.
I'll join in!! 1 1/2 PAD for about 50 yrs. Over a year now of no smokes whatsoever. See signature below. Simply amazing!!!
It's definitely different for everyone.
Vaping made quitting easy (easier than gum or cig-a-likes) because I could see the vapor (which looks like smoke), so I got the visual cue that I was smoking. I also needed that "thump" in the back of my throat (TH) which I only got when I switched to rebuildables. Most importantly, the "drawing" or "sucking" action is reminiscent of a cigarette, and really does a good job tricking my brain into thinking it's smoking.
One of the many times I tried to quit cigarettes, I would "dry-puff" on an unlit one, in an attempt to get that drawing/sucking action and trick my brain. I ended up smoking more cigarettes during this time, as having an unlit one in my mouth didn't last very long, heh..
I would think that hits the mark.. been smoking for over 20 yrs, tried stopping for 3 days sometimes back, did not work out well.. would get all agitated and uptight. tried vaping abt a month back, started on kanger tanks, and till had a ciggy ever now and then.
moved to rba and has not had a stick of ciggy since.. for like over 2 wks now. dun missed it either
15 year smoker 1-1 1/2packs a day. Only 2 months vaping, but haven't touched a cigarette since.
I was a PAD+ smoker for 17 years. Within 1 week of starting to vape I was done. I think I hit my 2 month mark last week!
Yes indeedy, a 53 yr, 2+ PAD habit, stopped cold in its tracks when I started vaping on my MVP. No effort, no mind set to quit, no suffering, no goals set. Was gonna die with a cig in my hand and was surprised I was still amongst the living.
Curiosity and an upcoming trip to a very frigid location started me researching to "supplement" my smoking. Been over 15 mos. now, and it's been a wonderful, surprising and joyful experience. Can't imagine doing anything else now.

I think it's absolutely a way to help me quit smoking.
As to how long, the banner's still counting!
