Here's the Plan..shhh

[Mary Kay]

Gee Spikey and you looked like a fun gal! LOL Seriously..no coffee?
I was never much into lite drugs..nothing since my early 20's. Had to give up men after I married Mike 33 years ago..he disaproves. No Tea or soda, I have about 12 oz of liquor a year...But touch my coffee and you die!
Welcome Tilly! Jump in a play with us. We don't bite...much. (need vamp fangs smily)

I totally agree! I didn't "quit". I just found another way to get my fix.

And also, don't ever beat yourself up for expectations you might not meet right away. Take it at your own pace and no matter what, you are trying and moving forward.

Oh, and that goes for ALL of us!!!!

Thanks Mary. Same here with the lite drugs, smoked a little in my young years, but if I had known pauseheimers would be kicking my a** now, I may would have imbibed more. I am an "ine" addict, caffeine and nicotine. Drink a little now and then, Cat Daddy & Pepsi or a margarita sitting out back by the fire pit, listening to blues. A couple times a year I'll have a shot of peach brandy, the kind w/o a label.

Yes I do enjoy vaping, prefer it to smoking. I'm having trouble getting the hub to convert. He'll only use it when he is in my car cuz I won't let him smoke in it.

Ladies - whatever works best for you - just do it.

For me - I enjoy vaping more than smoking. In my last couple of years, analogs were really starting to taste like crap. I only smoked them because I had to. I tried so many things to quit but was never successful.

I love the different flavors of vaping. I gave up the analogs 2 days after vaping began. I love not coughing, wheezing and smelling like an ashtray. I don't plan on giving up vaping. I went from medium to low and will soon go to zero.

I started out with 901's, but got a little frustrated with inconsistent vapor. I have now switched to the penstyles. They are bigger, but I get a lot more vapor and it is definitely more consistent. It keeps me happy
and satisfied.

Don't beat yourselves up. Just keep at it.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who welcomed me here. I haven't been able to post to say thanks up until now.

Update: got my ecig in Monday and have been doing pretty well I think. I'm down from 2 packs a day to a half a pack in just 5 days so I'm a happy camper. I was thinking I need a way to hang this new toy around my neck so I don't loose it. My son loved my ecig so much I had to order a second kit so up until today we've been sharing the first kit.

Anyway thanks all for the welcome.

When I ordered two 901 kits (for me and hubby) I also ordered 4 extra attys each and 2 extra batteries. that made up 3 e-cigs each. That gave us some leeway when a few parts failed.
You may want to do the same. nothing is worse then getting off analogs and then having parts fail!

I purchased the Nebula's from Vapornine. They are two part disposable type units so I don't have to worry about atomizers per say. I've got plenty of extra cartomizers that I refill with liquid...son has been nursing the same cartomizer since Tuesday so not bad.....however extra batteries would be great, I guess I should order a few.

Side note: my son hasn't touched a ciggy in 4 days..I'm thinking that was the best gift I could have ever given him.

I got my first ecig on Black Friday shopping at the mall with my daughter. She had seen them before and wanted me to try them so I could quit smoking. I had no intention of quitting at that time but I bought it to use in smoke prohibitive places. To my suprise I like it and my smoking decreased from a pack/pack 1/2 a day down to a 1/2 pack within a couple of weeks and pretty much stayed that way

In April, I decided I wanted to quit smoking so I joined the forum and bought a couple of different PV's (I got tried of buying carts or refilling them) and started mixing my own juice, I love all the different flavors. I buy the 36mg and cut it usually to 11mg sometimes less. I am happy to say I haven't had an analog since April 29th!!!!
The support and info and caring and sharing on this forum is awesome---what a great group of people!! So for you guys trying to quit analogs--don't beat yourselves up and don't give up vaping just do it at your own pace you will get there!!! If I can do it anyone can,lol.

Hello all! I started vaping 9 days ago, with the DSE801 penstyle, and have not had an analog since. I would like to quit eventually. Not having any big issues with it, but it took a while to get used to filling the cartridges without making a mess!! I don't like it on my hands or anything because I have a nosy cat who will want to lick it.

 

[louann5840]

I love you icon, hilwayb. Did you make it yourself?

 

[Mary Kay]

Hi LouAnn, I post a hello to you in Flavors but I will be happy to do it again! Welcome!
You plan is like mine, quit analogs and then try to quit e-cigs..good luck to us both!!! But you know I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
I am feeling a bit less dependant on my e-cig (or personal vaporizer-P.V.).
I used to wake up in the middle of the night for a smoke, then after I got my 901, I got up to vape a bit. Now I am sleeping all night and having coffee before I want a vape! By late night I am all vaped out..and I am doing 6 nic or 0 nic!
So like I said.."Here there be Hope".

 

[louann5840]

Wow, you are doing great!! I think it will be a while before I have my coffee first, but that's OK. I just want to be down to 0 nic by Christmas. I got my flavors from LorAnn's and they are wonderfull!! I'm diabetic and someone gave me a bunch of 3CC needles, and now I know what to use them for. I can mix up a small amt in the needles. That way I don't need to get bottles. The important thing is I don't have to WAIT to get bottles..LOL. Anyway the flavors are wonderfull. I highly recommend LorAnn's
Nice to meet you, Mary Kay. Oh, and I love your icons!!

 

[Mary Kay]

LouAnn do you mean the smilies in my post? When you reply click on reply to the right botton of the view screen instead of doing a quick reply. You will see all the smilies to the left of the screen. below the smilies is the word more..yep! More of the little devils.
Umm just asking, but how will you get the mix in the needle..yuck yuck and psssff. Can you tell I am not all that fond of needles?

 

[Cori]

Welcome LouAnn.. its great to have you here. It sounds like you're doing great with the vaping, grats on that. My plan is to get down to 0 nic eventually. I'm not pushing or rushing myself at this point, it will happen I'm sure.

My son decided to light up a real cigarette last night, he took one drag and said ewww. So silly me, said hey don't put that out, let me try it, had one drag.. ewww is right. I seriously don't know how I smoked the yucky sticks for so long, and I'm so glad I found out about ecigs. I vaped a lot my first few days, but I noticed the past two days I've already started tapering off without even thinking about it. There is hope for me still.
