Welcome! As you have already seen on this
thread, this is a very knowledgeable community. I too am a 40+ year smoker (1 1/2 pad) who never dreamed I could reduce much less quit. But last August I joined ecf and started
vaping. I haven't quit completely, but I am now smoking 5 or fewer cigarettes a day.
A real game changer for me was getting the
innokin T22 (the T20 is also good).
Endura T22 Starter Kit
The T22 is a simple but powerful device and costs less than $35. I also discovered
Naturally Extracted Tobacco and
WTA juices which have also helped.
Everyone takes a different path. Good luck!
