My journey to be 'smoke free' began a couple months ago when my daughter showed off her new toy - an automatic e-cig. I was intrigued. I wanted to quit smoking - no, I NEEDED to quit smoking - and I thought this would finally make it happen. She hooked me up with my very own kit a few weeks later and I thought I was in heaven. That was until I couldn't keep the unit charged and the pre-filled carts tasted nasty and they would last 10-15 minutes of vaping. I was back to analogs. I decided to search the web to see if I was doing something wrong. And that's when I found this forum. I read through all of the posts, checked out the ECF library and I realized I wasn't doing anything wrong - it was the product I bought.
I did more research and decided on a 510 kit. I also purchased a PCC, extra blank carts and 5 - 10ml of juice. Let me tell you that was the best $100 I've spent in a long time! My package arrived July 28 and I've been vaping away ever since! I've smoked about 1/2 a pack since then and the last 4 days have been smoke free. For me this is a major accomplishment because I smoked about 1 1/2 to 2 PAD for about 30 years. I usually spend about $45-$50 a week on cigarettes so I think I have now broke even. I showed my daughter my new toy and she fell in love! I purchased the same kit for her and she's been analog free for a week.
If it wasn't for this forum I would probably still be stopping at the gas station every other day for my 3 packs of smokes. I would still smell like a walking ashtray every time I walked into a room. So thank you all for sharing your experiences and knowledge with me and all of the other people 'lurking' the forum trying to decide if this is right for them.
Now I just have to find a part-time job to help pay for all the juices I want to try!
