Hello All!
A little about how I came to this new habit! My Mother and Father in law Caught an e-cig demonstration in a mall 3 days ago ! Called my wife and said if you 2 will both give this a fair try we will buy you both the kits and the bottles of liquid! We talked it over awhile and said yea we will try it as long as you don't get mad at us if it don't work! An hour later they were at my door with the kits god bless them!
Ive seen these at the tobacco shops where I usually buy my roll your own tobacco but every time I asked about them no one knew anything about them...they would just point and say yea it's steam and not smoke and kinda roll there eyes! So to me it never interested me because I get plenty of steam in the shower and it never made me feel very satisfied! :D
After getting the batteries charged up and watching some people on you tube demonstrating how to use them and drip your own ( the directions included in the kit were not real clear ) we gave it a go!
I have been a hardcore smoker for 30 years smoking 2-3 packs of smokes a day ! Tried the patches and the gum (both of which had me smoking before the day was out)!
The first 12 hours of use that day was pretty amazing with me smoking 4 analogs? (sorry new to the terminology) Second day 24 hours with only 4 analogs and the 3rd day today with only 1 analog when I woke up! Honestly that 1 tasted dirty and nasty compared to something I loved for so long ! It's been the entire day with just the 1 and know I won't smoke another 1 before bed as it is 11:30 p.m. now!
My wife is having a little more trouble than me with it but is cut back to 4 or 5 today from a 1 - 2 pack a day habit ! I'm not sure why she's having a harder time than I am as I had a much heavier habit than she did but it's 1 day at a time and you can't walk before you crawl and i'm very proud of her for trying and hanging in there !
When they told me about it I honestly didn't expect any good results because I couldn't imagine steam having any type of kick that I need (throat hit is the term Ive found out since) but was shocked when the 1st big drag I took that I just knew was gonna be wimpy and disappointing actually made me cough LOL
I am gonna try the entire day tomorrow without one but don't know if I will make it but if I don't then i'm still better than I was a week ago! I realize that it is a journey and it took me 30 years to get to where I am so after 3 days feeling pretty good about the start i have!
Sorry if this is way long winded but I am pretty excited and looking forward to a smoke free future and a safer life for my kids!
Look forward to becoming a part of your community!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to ECF! You'll get lots of information and lots of support here. Good luck with it. I think you'll continue to be amazed at how easy quitting can be.....cigarettes will just taste worse and worse. What kind of e-cigs do you have? What flavor of juice? Wait 'til you start getting some really tasty juice....that may be what will do it for your wife. Keep us informed.

congrats on the good start. Pretty new myself but today is one month (30days) for me and I have nothing but good to say about my new habbit/hobby. It is amazing how smooth the transition is and how rediculous the thought is that I did the smoke thing for so long. today I could tell immediately "everyone" who came near me who recently smoked an analog. Yuck!! Smelled awful...........then it hit me............I used to smell like that.....yukyukyuk.

Hi and thanks for the welcome it is greatly appreciated!
I'm sure I will sound like a nooby with what little info I have but because it was bought as a gift by non smokers I dont have much info! The box that it came in says super cigarette in a sky blue box...the cards the guy put in the box says there website is Electonic Cigs - Smoke Tonight (I am not advertising for them or even suggesting you buy from them as I do not know of them or there reputation but the model I got is the featured starter kit at there site if that helps)!
I told them to get stronger liquid and they got the 24 mg marlboro flavor so as to make sure it was full strength and not disappointing because if the 1st didn't kick me I probably wouldn't have gave it a second chance! I am kinda funny about flavorings and really just wanted a straight forward tobacco flavor and taste! ( i'm the guy that goes to baskin robins and asks for vanilla or chocolate! LOL
I may try some flavors as it all gets easier! I looked up alot of places in indianapolis to get the liquid without going to the mall and found only 1 place called indy vapor shop and went there this evening and the man was very knowledgable and helpfull! Got a 30 ml 12 mg marlboro light equivalent for $10 that seemd more agreeable to my wife as the other was to strong for her which was the same price as 10ml bottle at the mall! He had lots of flavors so will look into those for the wife when I can afford a few more atomizers to change out!
I'm sure there are better brands out there and will be trying them as we go as this whole thing is a learning process!
Again thank you all for the welcome!

My wife's expereincing harshness and cough even on the 12 mg down from the 24 .....gonna go to a 4-8 for her tomorrow....would a vg be easier on her...as in smoother...any opinions?
Should I get her some 0 mg and mix this down that way? When u mix it down whats your method to mix it?
Sorry I just want to set her up to succeed and not fail as this is a great oppurtunity!
Thank you for any opinions!
