how long have you been vaping?

[jpargana]

More than six years now - started vaping in mid-January 2009.

After that, I had maybe half a dozen cigarettes in ALL 2009.

And never smoked again since then.


That's why I laugh everytime I hear ANTZ's telling that "the e-cig is not an effective quitting method".

"Better stay with the effective (95% failure rate) and safe (Chantix, anyone?) crap our generous sponsors from Big Pharma make".


If it was NOT an effective method, then they would have NO need to LIE about it.

If somehow, menthol candies really helped a LOT of people to quit smoking, instead of just a few, today we would be reading nonsense all over the "news" about the "dangers" of menthol candies - a new "study" has "proven"...

Coming up on 1.5 years. Was a 2 pack-a-day smoker for.. too long.

I've slipped, had the occasional cigarette here and there, but I haven't purchased a pack since.. October, 2013.

3 weeks now and the difference without the cigarettes is very noticable!

Hello. New here, but old vaper, since May of 2011

Started vaping in Nov 2014. Last analog was 22nd Jan 2014 in the smokers lounge at Dubai airport during a long haul flight from Australia to Denmark, my vaping gear was packed away in my luggage. Still have a packet sitting under all the boxes for my new vaping gear. Just had to check that they were still there as I had forgotten whether I had thrown them out.

It's funny, back when I smoked I used to always know exactly where my cigarettes were, how many approximately were left in the pack, etc.

When I first started vaping, I still had a pack of cigarettes, and I remember forgetting about it for about a month then finding it again. That "wow, when I was a smoker I would've kicked myself for not finding this"-feeling is palpable.

A little over two years. After I got below 18mg, I had no desire to lower my nic any more, so I'm using 12mg. But, lately I've wanted to smoke a lot, so I've ordered a bottle of 18mg for really bad days.

I get that... but now I know exactly what flavour juices I have and approximately how much juice is left in each bottle.

Hit my 4 year mark 3 days ago.

You will all be there someday if you hang in there.

10 months, no difference in overall feeling (I did not have smoke-related health problems), but I do not smell anymore and I do have a rosy thoughts about my life expectancy.
