Hi Okey, new here myself. I turned "half a century old" (very sobering in those terms..) and even after smoking for 35 years with no health issues, I decided a change was in order. I had tried the gum and the patch in the past but between the trying to figure out what to do with my hands and the technicolor, acid trip dreams, neither attempt lasted very long. I even sat on a script of Chantix for several months but could never bring myself to start it. The disclaimers on tv scared the crap out of me. I figured trying to quit was depressing enough. Using something that might make me think of offing myself was intimidating to say the least. I worried that no one would notice and maybe I would not recognize it.
It has been 6 weeks for me and with a Cig2o, I definitely entered at "basement" level, LOL! I am one of those people who has to touch it and kick the tires before I part with my money and I do not know anyone vapping. I bought a pack of my usual analogs the same day. To my amazement, they remain unopened in the door pocket of my car! Don't get me wrong, there were times where I jonesed for a real cigarette, but I managed to hold off.
I know what you mean about trying to find a comparable flavor and nic level. I went online almost immediately and purchased grape and vanilla and I have to tell you, I will probably never smoke a tobacco flavor again. As a matter of fact, I almost can't understand how I was happy with the same old thing all of the time.
Now that I am pretty sure I am never going back, I am probably like many other newbies. I find myself on the hunt for the next level up to a more satisfying experience. I know I want rich vapor with plenty of flavor but am pretty sure I am not interested any of the mods ect at this time. I still prefer a pv that mimics what I have been accustomed to for decades. Even with sites like this, research is a little tough and there appears to be a ton of lingo I need to get up to speed on. In any case, I have determined that a clearomizer is the next step for me. I can see what is going on, save by filling myself and absolutely love the idea of never tasting "burnt filler" again!
So, hang in there. Try new stuff and I am pretty sure you will find exactly what you like before to long!!
