Just want to say hello and how happy I am that this forum exists! I have been reading as much as possible here over the last few days. So much awesome information is here.

I ordered a 510 starter kit on Friday it came on Monday.
Having been a PAD for 40 years I wasn't convinced about this e-cig idea. A friend started using e-cigs in the Summer and told me all about it. It sounded good and I knew I didn't want to use the patch (heard too many bad things about users reactions) and as strange as it sounds I actually had some fears about quitting, lots of anxiety just thinking about quitting. Cigarettes ran my life, I always had to make sure I had enough and if I didn't well I would go out and buy them, drop everything and go to the local mini-mart.
Even though I had fears about quitting, I have a greater fear that I would die from smoking and not live to see my beautiful Grandchildren grow up.

Having tried twice before without success to quit I have very high hopes for my success this time using the e-cig way.

When I opened my kit and tried my first e-cig I was pleasantly surprised. I know this is going to do it for me and for once I can say that I smell really good...all day! lol

I am starting to feel better, taste foods and seasonings way better. I have smoked a few real cigs over the last couple days but maybe that was good for me to realize how disgusting they really are. After using the e-cig for a day and then smoking a real cig the odd flavor of everything in the real cigs really was apparent, very chemical like taste to me.

Thanks again for a great resource and I hope to get to know all of you.

Welcome to the forums! I believe you made a great choice on your first e-cig, and your vendor too, since it shipped and reached you so quickly!!

Vaping really took the stress out of quitting for me and many others. It is such a better alternative. I personally have worked my way down from 18mg nic, to 18 in the morning, and 6-12mg throughout the day. One day I dream of vaping 0mg nic all day long!

Also, many of us have smoked a cigarette since we started. I smoked one less than a week in -- I do not regret it. It tasted awful and gave me a headache, made me want to throw up. I was pretty sick for about 30 minutes after. I needed that experience to know that I don't need cigarettes anymore!

I'm glad you found something that's working so well for you! Keep it up and come to us with any questions.

Congrats!!
