Hated the mess and smelliness of analogs. Tried a disposable e-cig from gas station, then started researching on internet. ECF forum was great help. Ordered a kr808d-1 kit and very happy. Since then (6 weeks ago) I have had 2 analogs and both were nasty.
Have not bought a pack since then.
Very grateful to all here. No hacking cough, no ash, no nastiness.

i was a smoker for nearly 10 years, started hitting the gym hard recently and it hurt. I had to kick the habit and a friend that recently had his first lil girl introduced me to them. he let me hit em a few times then went home and looked up what i could find and had an ego twist the next day and ben off the cigs ever since.
23 years 2 to 2 1/2 packs a day . A friend had been vaping for almost a year before I was smart enough to borrow an ego and some juice I started with a logic refilling the carto's until my order made it here ..Feel a million times better
My wife and I went to a Harley Davidson spring sale in a neighbouring towns dealership. While we were there having a smoke outside looking at the bikes they have on display, a couple were standing beside us smoking these funny looking chrome tubes. My wife asked what they were and was told its a electronic cigarette and it got both of them off smoking. She then explained how and whats its about to us in the parking lot, where we could get one (Ponderay Idaho) and the next day my wife went for a quick drive and came home with a couple EGO kits and some 555 and gooseberry juice. OMFG the flavors of both juices were fantastic. Now were hooked on e-ciggys, made a small juice and a few parts order from a US company, to find out that bringing the juice over the border can and will become a hassle. Through this forum I got a list of canadian sites and after filtering through that list now made a rather large $240.00 order if parts and juices through a BC company(keeping it local) and it will be delivered sometime next week.
We have to rely on mail order cause we live in a small town and NOWHERE can we get eciggys around here. Showed the EGO to the smoke shop owner we have and they have never heard nor seen anything like that before but going to look into it.
The best part is that through my wife taking the ecig to work she has converted 5 other people to use the eciggy who have gone and equipped themselves with the same setup as us from the same american shop in Ponderay and thanking us everyday for changing their lives also.
Just got me thinking that we could have gone outside to have a smoke 5 minutes later might have never seen those other people smoking those funny chrome tubes and not have our lives changed for the better.
E-Ciggys rock and I will let everybody know that.
BTW I've been a pack a day for 35 years and my wife for almost 25 years of stinkys smoking and now were FREE.

Back in December 2010 I picked up a T-Rex kit (knockoff 650's I believe.) I didn't really smoke much at the time, but didn't feel like going outside in wintery weather, and hoped this would just work. Never really used it full time until late 2012 when I started getting some juices and clearos from a local store

Picked up an eVic at the end of February after I realized I was underpowering some of my atomizers. On the evening of March 1st I realized I hadn't had an analog all day, and decided to roll with it for a month. Here I am, analog free despite some periods of juice shortages.

neighbor kid gave me a battery, and a clearo full of liquid.never planned on actually starting to vape, and quitting. finished the tank to be polite. 1.5 weeks later 0 cigs. 40 days after that- 0 nicotine. this is one life changing event, i don't intend to screw up.
I love this thread. So inspiring!
Here goes:
I did NOT want to quit. My friend did. I have smoked full flavor stinkies since I was 11 years old (to keep up with the "cool" kids!) I am MUCH older now...
To help her out, I agreed to buy a Blu kit at the same time she did. I honestly thought it wasn't going to last more than one day. We tried the disposable and I kind of liked it, bit the bullet, bought the kit.
FRUSTRATION with the batteries and cartos abounded, but I still kept vaping that damn little cigalike. I was like: "If SHE can do it, so can I!" Did you know that I am EXTREMELY competitive?
I reveled in the fact that I didn't smoke a stinky after the second day. Not one. Ha. To keep up with my friend, I started googling (verb) "e-cigarettes." I wanted to see if there was any way I could make those darn things last longer! A whole new world...I found the ECF.
At first, I thought I would stay with the Blu. I was going to MAKE IT WORK. (Famous last words!) I struggled for a month with those darn things, switching out batteries, buying tons of cartos, refilling same, swearing...
FINALLY, an epiphany! Just order a KIT, any old kit. I did. (I am still waiting for it, because it is coming from China!) While waiting, I read, read, read some more, asked questions, watched videos, listened to the "vets" and ordered some more equipment (from US supplier!) and tried some different juice vendors.
I am about 2.5 months into vaping, and I LOVE IT!!! I am a sweet vapor child. My house, car and person smell so much better. I can smell a stinky from a mile away (YUCK, did I use to smell like that?) and I am breathing with no wheeze! My sugar levels have gone down and I have even lost some weight! I VAPE the sweet stuff instead of EATING it.
I thank heaven that I quit, even if it was an "accident." I will NEVER go back to being a human ashtray.

I was on the computer one morning and saw an ad for v2 cigs. Checked out the site and thought I'd try it for a lark. Spent almost 200.00 on the best kit they had really never expecting it to work but at least I'd be cool. I tried the passthrough first when it came in -I can remember thinking OMG this thing actually works. After a month of constantly recharging cigalikes I was done with that and on to bigger and better. Have not looked back. The only thing I've spent more money on was the provari.
Spur of the moment I found myself in a Vape shop and wanted to quit smoking. Also wanted be part of the cool kids. --naaat really. Havn't touched a cigarette since (8 months), and the transition was mostly easy. 20 years of smoking done just like that.
I got into Vaping as my wife hates the smell of smoke and did not stop smoking so I had to find another solution. Started our with just a basic 510 cig and moved on from there. I my daily vape is an Evic and loving it so far. Next step for me is to get into RBA and good mech mod like zenisis.
I used to be the 2-pack a week guy. My close friend, who's been smoking analogs for years picked up an eVic and had me trying.
Some tedious research later, i bought his eVic (he happened to be upping to a Provari).
Never looked back since.
And heck, i get to vape in my store whenever i want! (Well, when there's no customers)
