Today is Day 12 - Cold Turkey! I am completely obsessed with everything vaping!
I have been lurking here for about 3 or 4 weeks reading as much as I possibly could. Really funny - what started out as a tool to quit smoking cigs has quickly turned into my new hobby!
I will be forever grateful for ECigs - and they have given me life back in more ways than I thought possible - even in 12 short days. The most noticeable - my confidence and the feeling that if I can do this after smoking for 30 years 1-1.5/ppd, I can do anything.
Rather than focus on the technical details of my experience - of which there is soooo much information available here - I'd rather focus on the some of the good and funny stuff!
On Day 3 - my sense of smell and taste was really whacked out. You know how sometimes stores have treats set out for their customers - I was in this greenhouse and they had cold lemon water. My friend and I got a glass and all I could taste was green peppers..lol. I had my car detailed and the guy did a fabulous job on it - stuck these scent pak things under the seat with my favorite scent - and I got in my car and all I could smell was this yucky smell. My friend told me I was out of my mind - my car smelled fabulous and she's a non smoker! **Tip** my car had an "in cabin" air filter - which I had changed out - made all the difference in the world - now have clean air blowing in - cost me $20!!
Water - always sucked at drinking water. While reading and waiting for my kit to arrived - I immediately knew I had to be dehydrated and understood how important the water would become so 48 hours before my first vape I started in with the water - and have had around 70oz per day without fail - and this has been so beneificial for me it's crazy!
Wondering when my taste buds were going to change. Went to the grocery store after traveling for 5 days - and when I got to the checkout - thought I had the wrong cart. It was filled with fruit! No sodas - no sweets - nothing salty!! I was thinking who is this person! I have been a raging popaholic forever - not that I'm trying to give up anything but cigs at the moment..but all of these other bad habits are falling by the wayside. Have had 2 sodas in 12 days - just don't want one for some reason!
I have no desire for anything remotely close to a tobacco flavor so I'm happily vaping mint and peppermint and anxiously awaiting my Vermillion River Hot Cinnamon - stalking the mailman!
Hilarious - I really like spicy food. One of my fav things are Beef Hot Links brats. Threw a hot dog together for lunch the other day and by the 3rd bite - I have tears rolling down my face - my nose is running and my mouth was on FIRE!! I couldnt even finish the dang thing!!
So far the change in my breathing is completely awesome! No more hacking cough in the morning. So far, I havent hit the hacking that comes when you quit analogs and wondering about that...
Also figured out that I owe my friends and family who are non-smokers a debt of gratitude. After being with ppl who were smoking analogs - I realized that perfume did NOT cover the smell of smoke - you just smell like perfume AND smoke.
I did go into this in a "go big or go home" fashion. From what I read, being prepared is half the battle, so I did invest up front and I have 5 batts - and from fear of running out of cartos...well let's just say - I have plenty and leave it at that!! Now I want to fill my own too and thanks to all of the wonderful, informative members here and on another forum - I'm ready for that!
Had 1 morning where I over vaped
so now I know what that's like..lol.
The only downside is...when I am not vaping, I am reading about vaping, or talking about vaping, or putting vaping wish lists together and luckily all of this I can do and VAPE at the same time!!
I'm just so happy to be joining the wonderful world of ECigs and looking forward to getting to know all of you!!
VAPE ON!!
