Hello, new here and to vaping.

[Feicita]

Hi

I just started vaping. I have been smoking for 35 years and have a 2 pad habit.
I was buying my tobacco at the local vape store and I just love the owners.
I finally decided to try it and last week I bought a Itaste CLK and some 12mg liquid and so far I love it.
It cost me only 60 bucks to get started. Yesterday I had only a couple of cigarettes and really no major cravings.
I had one cigarette left and when I smoked it this morning with my morning coffee it tasted really nasty
which was weird because the first of the day was always the best one for me.
Anyway, I just hope that not smoking keeps being that easy for me.
If I start getting bad withdrawals, I ll go up to 18 or 24 ml.
I am not a very technical kind of person so I don't think I will ever be as passionate and knowledgeable
as some of you are here but I wanted to say hi and introduce myself and my little pink Itaste anyway.

Welcome to ECF and congrats on getting started on a smoke free life. As for not being passionate and knowledgeable about vaping , stick around here for a bit and that will change.
Good luck and enjoy your vaping journey.

Welcome aboard. I think you'll be just fine when you find that one juice that makes you go OMG!!! There are so many great flavors out there...have fun with it.

That's how it starts! Next thing you know you will be helping a rookie coil a Kayfun!

And my experience is not dissimilar. Once I started vaping, smokes just didn't cut it flavor wise at all.

Hello and welcome
I started low and had to go up but not all is lost I'm back down to 3mg/ml and soon to be off vaping too (may be) lol

Hi Feicita!

You are well on your way to freedom from analogs. Stay with it and next year you'll be bragging it's been 12 months analog free!

Hi there, Feicita:

Congratulations on your recent move to vaping! I smoked for nearly 28 years myself, and I have had the good fortune of meeting many who've smoked 30, 40, even FIFTY years!!! And they have stopped, thanks to vaping. I can't tell you how excited I am every time a former smokers comes out and announces their freedom, and I am closing in on 15 weeks myself. Feel free to add me to your friends list, and please keep in touch. I am new to this forum, but I will be here if you ever need anything answered....and if I cannot answer it, I will see that someone who knows more than me does. Best to you!!! Erv

Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone.
I have two flavors: one is called two peas in a pod and is supposed to be close enough to the taste of cigarette. It is also a PV/VG mix whatever that is and it taste nice but I don't find it that satisfying.
The other one I absolutely adore and it s the one I have been vaping the most: Organic strawberry granita 100% VG (whatever that is).
I don't want to go bat crazy right now but in a week, I will reward myself with a new one, maybe a nice rich dark chocolate or maybe Boston cream flavor if they have it at the vape shop.

 

[Feicita]

Knowing myself, I ll probably come back home with both plus a couple more LOL.
I am vaping an awful lot but apparently it's normal according to the experienced vapers here.
The good thing about my machine is that I can adjust the levels so until I am safely smoke free, I will just
vape away and then I ll worry about decreasing my nicotine intake and the frequency of my hits.
I downloaded an app to keep track of my savings (right now I m in the red) and keep me motivated.
I just love it too that this unit can be smoked while charging on my computer...so far so good.

Welcome! When I first quit the stinkies I vaped ALL day on the twist! NO harmful or stinky side effects.

I vaped to stop smoking and have spent far more than I was smoking. But I am not smoking! I was about a 30 year smoker. Nicoticket makes a flavor called strawnilla that tastes just like drinking strawberry quick. It is ridiculously addictive. Out of the box I didn't like it but after it sat for a week it is delicious.

and I just went crazy, hell still am. I have 5 different things coming in the mail from different places. But they are all relatively inexpensive. And I don't just count the smokes I am not buying. When I went to the store I came home with other things I didn't need like rockstars and gum. I haven't been to the little store in more than a month. Guy probably thinks I died.

You may be surprised, I too was a PAD smoker that switched to 12mg juice when I first started, within the first week I was down to 6mg because I found 12mg waaaaay too harsh for all day use, lowered my Nicotine and upped my usage, never looked back, now I use 0mg almost exclusively and use vaping as more of a hobby rather than a smoking replacement, I hope you have a similar experience

 

[wshanncap]

Hi to you Feicita. Welcome aboard. I quit smokes on the cigalikes. I'm getting into mods now and speaking for myself I am to the point that I can't imagine lighting up again. Just the smell turns my stomach. Hang in there. You'll do fine.

Welcome!!! What is really fun is when you hone in on what your style and needs of vaping are! Find out what juices/ devices/ tanks ect. are right for you and that's where the magic happens.
