How Long Did It Take for You to Quit Smokin?

[Bikenstein]

This topic no doubt has already been covered, but I would like to have some input so I can encourage others to try vapin. I quit with my first pull on an Evod at a vape shop. I haven't wanted an analog since. That's been 3 weeks ago. I smoked for full flavor menthol for 48 years. I started at 12mg nic and thinkin about goin to 6 already. Maybe menthol is easier for vapers to quit. So please let me know how long it took you to quit your cigs after vaping or where you are now.

It took me about 3 months to get analog free. That was about 3 years ago. I picked up a little whole tobacco alkaloid e juice and that helped me make the transition. Now I can't even stomach an analog.

Well, I started with a plastic stick brand. I managed to cut down by whole 2-3 cigarettes a day. (2 months of that nonsense)

I then bought a better plastic stick brand (3 x cheaper too) and cut down by another 2-3 a day. (6 weeks of that idea)

Then I bought an eGo-K (Riva) kit.

The End.

I'm one of the lucky ones who quit immediately. I smoked 2 packs a day for over 40 years. Never would have dreamed it would be this easy, but it has been almost painless. Amazing.

I got a Blu starter kit, didn't smoke for a couple of days with it. Realized quickly that those tiny batteries wouldn't cut it, and that the refills were too expensive. I came here and did some research and went to my local vape shop. They set me up with an Ego starter set and some juice. I haven't smoked a cigarette since I started with that Blu kit, which let me know that e cigs might work for me.

Yeah it was painless for me too. No withdrawal symptoms at all.

It took me about a month to become analog free. I was able to cut down on smoking when I started to vape and then gradually taper off until I no longer wanted a smoke.

I was able to quit from the first time I tried vaping and haven't looked back..... 125 days ago.

I only smoked for 5 years, but I'm still in my 20's so it seems like a lot to me I started on the blu cigs but they were terrible, didn't help me quit at all. Then I found the protank, quit smoking within a month.

There is a wise old saying: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I think you and I were really ready.

Firstly Vapeing is not a cessation product but an alternative with great consequences hehe.

Took me about 2 seconds once I recieved my nic liquid and never looked back.

Had a smoke while filling Carto, once filled never had another smoke almost 1 year now.

I smoked almost 25 years, 1.5 pad. I was very skeptical of the ecig at first and didn't think there was a chance it would work. I thought _maybe_ I'd be able to cut down a little. To my shock I quit almost immediately. I think I had two half cigarettes the first day and one half cigarette the second day. Not so much as a craving since then. I was an accidental quitter. My first ecig was a little cigalike and I quickly moved up, not sure how things would have gone if I'd tried to stick with that little thing.

Anyway, everyone is different, as you can see from the posts here so far. Some people take months cutting down gradually. Some people stop right away.

GREAT consequences It don't seem to matter what I vape either. Even my weird tobacco concoctions. I just add a drop or 2 of banana strawberry or Kahlua and vape it anyway. Would like to have a tobacco I could diy for a sampler for my friends.

For the first month, I still bought a pack of cigarettes every Friday on the way home from work (a very old habit - I'd always stock up for the weekend!). I'd smoke them all like I'd never quit and then feel like someone was standing on my chest come Saturday morning!

The breaking point came when I went to a house party and had to walk up 2 flights of stairs. I couldn't breathe, even though I'd only smoked about 5 cigarettes that day.

After that I bought a mod and that was it, no more cigarettes. I am 145 days smoke free

I quit when I got my Ego starter kit, but I planned it that way. I was ready. Thankfully, the plan worked!

After smoking 30 to 40 a day for five to six years, I quit smoking on the same day I started Vaping - 2 weeks ago today. It was easy, especially compared to everything else I've tried (Allen Carr's EASYWAY, patches, gum, lozenges, oral spray, nasal spray and therapy).

 

[RobinBanks]

Smoked almost 2 PAD for 20 years.

2 days after I got my first PV I put the cigarettes down for good. The first month had some rough patches where I had some cravings, but after that I was solid.

i started vaping in last February, but quit smoking completely in October... i finally found what works and stuck with it

I tried several brands of e-cigs before I found the one that I received satisfaction from. After that, I finished the open pack of cigarettes I had (about eight (8) cigarettes), smoking one right after another until they were gone. I couldn't just throw them away. Have been smoke free for nine (9) months now and have no intention of returning to the "real" cigarette . . . . Big Tobacco take a hike. Pharmaceuticals, take your drugs and push real hard. I have found what satisfies me and until my home is raided by the "authorities", I shall vape, vape, vape.

It's been on-going for me... I started w/ the BLU pack in 2009, lasted about a 2 weeks without an analog... Moved to BLU disposibles in late 2013, still smoke 12-16 analogs a day regardless.. Then moved to the EGO Mini and went completely smoke free in JAN of this year.... It was pretty easy once I found something that produced a little more vape than the BLUs!!!
