I've been lurking for a while, but just joined today. 25 year smoker, completely off analogs now! Currently using 12mg nic, but hope to slowly step down. Still have much to learn, but I am already a die-hard convert. I just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for the plethora of knowledge that is shared here!

Welcome and congrats. I had tried everything to quit and it definitely seems like vaping is the only working solution.
What, only 25 years a smoker? 
40+ for me, and vaping did the trick where nothing else did.

Welcome to ECF, congrats on quitting. The more you vape the more you love it imo. After 20 years of stinkies and trying everything I could, vaping has been the only thing that has gotten me off em.
Hi Colette, Welcome. I am a new member also. I smoked for 50 years. I am now vaping and I am down to 3 a day. I would rather vape than smoke. Hope soon to get off analogs as soon as I finish up this carton. But I smoked a pack a day so I think for right now 3 a day isn't too bad. Congratulations for giving them up for good!
Thanks, everyone! I'm a bit of a gadget geek, so all the doodads you can use and change and buy are feeding a whole other obsession than just quitting smoking! I'm finding vaping and everything that goes along with it incredibly fun...I think that helps!
Margie, I was a pack a day smoker as well. In all my time smoking, there was only one time I quit for more than a day or two and that was for a couple of months using Wellbutrin, but I felt horrible the whole time. This is the first thing that I have tried that I actually enjoy and can see me using without missing/craving analogs. My husband was a pack a day smoker and he is down to 2 or 3 a day like you. That is definitely a huge improvement for both of you. I think people are different and while one person may be more successful cold turkey, another person may do better weening themselves off...doesn't matter as long as the end result is the same! I'm like you though, I couldn't just throw my analogs away...I had to finish what I had first.

I agree, the "hobby" aspect could well be part of vapings effectiveness. Since we were trying to break one habit, replacing it with another helps out.
And we're all different, and have our own ways to reach the goal.
