How did you get into Vaping and Why?

[faygz11]

Hi Guys,

I got into using Electronic Cigarettes as smoked around 30 cigarettes a day and wanted to just not have that ash tray mouth when i woke up. Ive not touched a cigarette in two years and feel so much better! also took a holiday to Cuba with my savings

Let me know why you got into using E Cigs and why?

A coworker let me try his eGo C Twist. I googled B&Ms in my area and bought one for myself later that day.

I had smoked for 15 years. I didn't even intend to quit the analogs, it just sorta happened.

Do you feel better in your health for it?

Saw a B&M and stopped in they let me sample tons of juice and every mod they have and it was way better than smoking so I made the step.Been trying to stop for awhile.

I had smoked for over 30 years. Made many attempts using different methods to quit that nasty habit. Everyone has sooooo many reasons to quit. Finally, for me, it was the thought of my 5 year old grandson. I want to be around and watch him grow up and to be a part of his life. Fortunately, I found the world of e-cigs. I was able to quit smoking analogs on the very first day with the help of store bought disposables.

eratikmind great reason to give up! do you guys know much about the new directive for the EU?

found ecigs in my local corner shop a couple of years ago and been vaping ever since. Don't know why really !. It's a novelty i suppose.

Why did you start faygz11 ?

I smoked for 14 years and just switch to vaping 10 days ago.

- I want to quit smoking
- I can smoke free in my car
- I can smoke free in my room as my girlfriend didn't allow before.
- And I like vaping than smoking a lots, totally addicted on vaping.

I've smoked for 15 years and tired to quit a few times over the years. While buying a pack of smokes i picked up a disposable e cig. I puffed on the disposable in found it was quite easy to lower my intake of cigarettes. 2 days later i ordered my 1st set up and after i got it in the mail and finished of my pack of squares i haven't looked back. Now i need to convince the guys i work with that vaping isn't ridiculous and is much better for their health.

Totally. I don't get winded nearly as quickly when I skate and can hold my breath much longer when spearfishing.

I smoked many decades...and really liked to smoke. In theory I "wanted" to quit, but it was mostly lip service for the benefit of my kids and other family members. I wasn't crazy about the hassles of smoking...burn holes, scummy film on stuff, the lingering smell, and especially being treated like a leper...but I just really LIKED the hand to mouth habit and the rituals. And I'd become dependent on the calming effects of smoking in stress situations. I knew from my many failed attempts at quitting that without addressing my hand to mouth habit, there was little hope I could break free. People suggested chewing on pencils or peppermint sticks or whatever...really? That so did NOT appeal to me!

I heard about e-cigs sometime in early 2011 but thought they would be really expensive and not for "ordinary people" like me...they were for the starlets and celebrity types with money and access to things us little people don't. But then I saw an ad for Greensmoke on FB. I looked into it (didn't bite) and my interest was piqued. I started researching about e-cigarettes online and settled on a cig-a-like kit that I thought was priced okay and had good online reviews. That was in late Sept. 2011. I thought at least I could use the e-cigs as a supplement thing...when I couldn't smoke. But hoped maybe it'd work to help me quit.

The day I got my kit and tried it was the day I quit smoking. That was a year and a half ago.

I've moved on to "bigger and better" things now...but what was important was that little cig-a-like kit WORKED for me. It was almost like a miracle.

I got tired of smoking & was actually smoke free for a month before buying my first ecig (quit 3/31/2012). Reason being I had 'quit' before for a few month periods in the past & always fell back to smoking eventually.

If I got into vaping, I more than likely wouldn't ever go buy that first pack.

Worked a charm. Almost been a full year.

I've saved cash, learned a lot & of course the given improvement to my health. Cigarettes sound horrible now & vaping is a vastly preferred method of getting nicotine.

Do you feel better in your health for it?

I will answer this.

Hellllllsss YESSSSS!

I literally had issues with breathing when I wake up in the morning, sometimes along with chest pains. I been smoking Newport menthol since the age of 15. I am 34 now. I always wanted to quit but as you know, cigarettes are probably THE worst when it comes down to trying to give up. Mentally and physically it's plain hell. What got me expeimenting is the commercial for blu e cigs. Tried it for a week or two but it was awful and it was starting to become more expensive than smoking Newports. I told myself there has to be a better way to e cigs so I started researching and researching then found this forum I have to say, finding this forum was one of the best thing that happened in my life. Now the only problem is that I am enjoying vaping a little too much. Especially after I just got my ego twist and vivi.

At first I was just looking for something to get me by in situations where I couldn't smoke. Once I tried it I knew I could switch over entirely and also enjoy the cost savings and the health benefits.

 

[faygz11]

I started because wanted to just get rid of the ash tray mouth of a morning

I was a 40 yr 3 pad smoker. I was using lozenges, gum, cold turkey...just trying to cut down. One day I saw an ad for some e cig, can't remember which one, and started searching. That search led me here to ECF. The next day, after some reading, I ordered my first kit (Volt) just on a whim. I never considered that it would work, just hoped that it would help me cut back. Long story short, I was smoke free in 3 days. So, in a sense, E cigs found me.

I started with an Njoy a few years back the battery life was very short and the "juice" burned my throat. I only used it for about a month.
I smoked for a few more years at 3 PAD then I decided to give ecigs another try after lung surgery. I got an Ego with some nasty juice and that lasted about 2 months. I smoked for another 6 months and knew I had to stop.
This time around I have found VV / VW and several juices I like, I have up graded my PV several times over and the smokers cough is gone.
Life is good Vape hard

Ran into a friend at the cottage that had been having serious health issues. He told me about Vaping and that was that. Since then as a thank you I've bought and his wife 2 upgraded kits and supply them with free juice...small price to pay and I'm am forever indebted to him for giving me a new lease on life. My friend and his health you ask....71 yrs young and healthy as a horse- his specialist and GP are AMAZED.

Sitting at my bench, in the shop at work one day, when a mate dropped in for a chat he was sucking on this wierd small penal/rocket like shiny thing? As I was about to ask what is that, he blew out some smoke? Long story short I've wanted to quit for awhile but did enjoy smoking so it seemed a logical choice seeing as it was available and not at the cost I would have presumed.

So Vamo I mean Whamo here I am.

I had tried several times to quit but nothing else worked. Go Vape Go.

I owe my mate vintagerider his name in here, an ever lasting amount of gratitude. TY mate.

I was tired of spending 50 bucks a week on cigarettes and the wife complaining that the garage smelled in the winter. Saw a local tv report about a local b&m here and went the next week. Haven't had a cig since the day I picked up my first evo kit. That was 60 days ago today.
