Congrats and welcome to ECF! Vaping is great, isn't it? I also smoked a pack a day for 16 years, and this is also the only way I've ever managed to quit. I can't even stand the smell of cigs now, let alone the taste. I did try one after several days of vaping, just out of curiosity, and it was so nasty I couldn't finish it. Now, every time I think I want one, I've got that taste in my head to remind me of just how band cigarettes are. I've been vaping now for around two months, and this is definitely a hobby for me now. There's so much to try, and so many delicious flavors out there. Unless the FDA regulates it all away, I can imagine vaping for the rest of my life, even if it's 0 nic.
