I got my first 510 in 2009 and hated it. I hated fiddling with it, I hated the constant burnt chemical taste. I hated the leaking and the mess and how the entire ordeal felt like.... an ordeal.
It didn't work for me.
vaping stayed on my radar. I watched as it became more popular around here, people who had no idea what I was talking about a few years ago were experimenting with disposable gas station cigalikes. A few of them switched over to better equipment and would dabble with it. I finally met a few people in person with ego's who managed to completely kick tobacco, one of them was my aunt who was visiting from out of state, vaping in my kitchen when she thought I wasn't looking!... After asking about the tank system and whatnot, my interest in vaping was jolted awake again.
I was familiar with this process, of reading, reading, more reading. The feeling of getting completely overwhelmed and not really knowing what I was going to need, getting caught up in wondering how long everything was going to last and ... all of that. This time, my husband, turning 40 this coming weekend mentioned that he wanted to quit smoking for his birthday.
"We'll kill each other..." I thought to myself.
I should mention that we are the couple who doesn't really argue or bicker. We are best friends.
Maybe... we would be ok if I managed to pick up a starter kit and we both could try vaping.
Maybe this would be the way we could finally end this horrible dependency on analogs.
I had done my research and was looking at an itaste vv 3.0, or the mpv 2. I had found out that there are a couple B&M's nearby and managed to drop by into one of them on my way to go grocery shopping. I had only had one cigarette that morning, I was starting to feel that fuzzy brainlessness and confusion behind the eyes when I walked in. I knew I was paying too much for the kanger evod2 starter kit (3x the price, omg) that I was walking out of there with, but something compelled me to just hand over the money and to upgrade to the itaste later on.
I am so glad I did. This is my second day of not smoking. (He has not had one since last Tuesday!)
I am not freaking out or crying, and my family is not scared of me. (I have tried to quit before, and the withdrawals turned me into a monster.)
For the first few days, I cut down from 1/2 - 1 pack a day, to 3 or 4 analogs a day.
Thursday and Friday I tried only having one, and it was SO so hard.
Saturday I woke up and didn't touch them. I figured out that the juice I had (18 mg) is too high for me, it tastes completely of hot pepper. A friend of mine gave me her partial bottle of 12mg, this one I have no problem with at all, it tastes nice, it doesn't burn, it doesn't make me cough or leave a nasty chemical taste in my mouth.
I have been a smoker for 25 years, starting when I was 13. This is the first time I have hope that I can stop and wean myself down from my nicotine addiction.
The only worry I have right this minute is that what is left in my little bottle of 12mg wont last me until payday.... But I can't tell you how thrilled I am right now.
Thank you - so much to all of you in this forum who have provided your reviews and helpful information. I am a major lurker and I can't be the only one who has been helped by all of you without your knowing. <3

I have a bottle of unflavored 18mg and another peach 18mg - Hoping to get a few bottles of lower nic and blending them to use the higher ones up without having to deal with the yuck aspect
