Just wanted to finally make a post, after a few weeks of lurking.
I've been a smoker for around 16 years on and off but on a constant basis for the last 12 or so. Went from full flavor to lights, to menthol lights.
Been wanting and trying to find ways to quit. I went down the gum/patch path with no success obviously.

I heard about herbal cigs, nasty and didn't give any pleasure whatsoever. Then I kept hearing about E-cigs. Even saw it in a few movies/shows etc. But just didn't give it a second thought since most everything else failed miserably. Then I started hearing more about it and talked to the wife a few times telling her I was thinking about at least trying one to see how it turned out.

Finally, one day the wife brings me a disposable from a local gas station/cig shop, it was a 21st century and I was somewhat excited to try it. Took the first draw, wow.. Not too bad actually, though the menthol taste of it wasn't like a smoke, I didn't really expect it to be but the throat hit, or rather slight throat hit kind of surprised me and I said. "Wow, not bad at all really, I think I'll do some more research".

So I went and bought an njoy npro because that's all that was available around here that I could see and saw that njoy was somewhat popular. It was quite a bit better than 21st century so I got to thinking... The first one wasn't too bad, second one was better.. Hell, I might as well research more and jump right in. So after about a full week of extreme researching(and I do mean extreme lol) I finally took the plunge and ordered an Ego starter kit, 7 pack of e-juice and a few Boge 510 cartos all from Puresmoker as their prices seemed very good and they were one of if not the closest to my area.

And yes, I said an Ego, just after a few weeks of research I could see from the majority of suggestions it was that or a normal 510 but I figured if I'm gonna be smoking quite a bit, it had to be something with great battery life.

Anyways, thanks for reading, hope I didn't bore you too badly. And I think it's awesome what you all have going here and how professional it is. I explored a few other e-cig forums but they just weren't for me. Too much cursing, spamage and just seemed overly wild for my taste. I like this chilled out but very informative community much better. :thumb:

Welcome and Congratulations! I was a 2 PAD smoker and haven't had an analog in almost a year thanks to ecigs. I started with the analog look-a-likes which didn't cut it and went to Egos and Rivas which worked for me until recently. I have moved on to mods. You have made a very good choice for your starter ecig.

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I'm not fully off analogs just yet but as soon as my Ego arrives, I'm surely not buying anymore.
I've slowed down more than I have in a very long time, however.
I'll continue to read/research. Seems to be a plethora of information here so I'll be sure to take it one step at a time.

And thank you Boodle, I'm sure my wife will appreciate that very much after I'm off them completely lol. I did make her a huge dinner that same day :)

That's how it worked for me, the minute I went out to the mailbox (love that) and received my starter kit, I was done done done with analogs, they went in the trash that same instant and I haven't wanted one since. :toast:
