Well 2 years ago I tried the mini style 3 part ecigs, I liked them but was not impressed with the technology at the time. 10-15 puff and batt was dead, ok, tried several other models and still technology was lacking so went back to analogs. Then this summer I tried an ecig again, gas station type, I thought wow not bad, batt lasted quite awhile, I went shopping for other new style carto types and low and behold, I like it! Now several types later i am totally in love with vaping and never want to smoke again! I love vaping!!!!!! bnrk

Well, my first vaping experience was on a little gas station device. I did not love it but thought "this could work" and ordered a 510 kit that night. I quit the day it arrived and I have loved vaping ever since. It was rough though in that first month because that little 510 would only last as long as it took for the other battery to charge. If I had not found something better I would have gone back to smoking though.

It is kinda funny how I got my first mod. I flicked my 510 out the car window while driving. When I realized what I had done, I drove up to the local e-cigarette store and purchased my first mod. I got the Screwdriver MK1 because I wanted something that looked nothing like a cigarette. I even used the neck lanyard for awhile so it did not windup beside the highway to.

I was hooked from the start! Started with a V2cigs kit, then started to DIY, then got a Missy's Wetbox. Fell in love with the bottom feed. Decided to up the ante and went with a REO mini almost a year ago. My mini + DIY strawberry = LOVE!

I have not smoked an analog since 8-22-2010. I smoked my last cigarette when the mailman delivered my V2 kit. I knew instantly that this was my chance at quitting for good. I will say that first day or 2 was a little rough.......but I vaped through it and never looked back.

Vape on my friends. ;-)

Well, I guess mine is a two-part answer...

I loved it right away when I took a drag off the one my sister had going.
But then I went and bought one and had too many hassles, which kept me smoking one cigarette each morning.

Basically I refuse to deal with ANY hassles first thing in the morning before I have a cigarette.
But I was putting up with the hassles throughout the rest of the day.

So I didn't love it again until I started dripping, which eliminated all of the hassles.

Iwas hooked from the start, was researching all the products but did not know who to buy from and really did not want to waite for it in the mail so I bought the Njoy from my local cig store which was 30.00 cheaper then on line. Really did not like the taste but reading reviews from different sites most said to give e cigs a chance which I did.

Then ordered some juice and while waiting for it to arrive, I was in my second day and still could not stand the taste so I said let's try a cig again, after 3 puffs could not stand it and put it out, my juice came was happy then started DIY and that's where I am at now and could not be happier. Also moved up to the Ego

Well i picked up my eGo and never smoked another analog from that second. If for no other reason than that i loved it :) But i also love the taste and feel of it as well. However i would make one note to that. Thats the day i picked up the ego, i wont count the week before when i just had one of them nasty blue disposables. The right PV makes all the difference in the world

No, I didn't love it right away. I only got an ecig to go around a smoking ban at work. I had no intention of giving up my beloved Marlboro Lights. After about 6 weeks of getting used to vaping, I gradually cut down on the cigs, and then cut them out entirely. After a couple of weeks of vaping-only, I tried a cig, and hated the way it tasted. I haven't been seriously tempted by them since.

I loved vaping right away even with my crappy little liquor store ecig(tried it the other day and couldn't believe i actually like it at first lol) Now i have my shan vv mod and i love, love, love my vaping experience. I will never go back to those nasty analogues again. Truth be told i still have 7 packs of my last carton in my freeze and haven't even though about touching them. I hate wasting money so I'm just waiting to see my friends who isn't interested in vaping and who smokes camel 99's.

That's too funny that you flicked your e-cig out the window! When I first started vaping, I tried to "light" my e-cig with a lighter several times... :D

Loved vaping from the very beginning. I did smoke a few cigs during the first weeks, though. Also, I struggled with finding the right nic strength, which was frustrating.
I landed at 8mg during the day, 4 mg afternoon/evening (otherwise I won't be able to sleep). An atty and some 24mg for dripping, in case the nic craving gets unbearable - haven't needed this the last cpl of weeks, though.

I felt really stupid at the time. Stupid and panicked. Thank god there was a local brick and mortar store. The owner even stayed open late just to help me out. Even though I order a lot of stuff online, I still make time to go up there once a month and buy something from them. Go out of your way once for me and you got a customer for life. I guess I should mention the store name. It was Vaporesense. Greg was a life saver.

I'll be honest, I absolutely hated vaping when I first started. Since the only things that were out there were cartridges. Couldn't get a hang of it and the battery lasted for like an hour. I did, however start out with a 51TRIO which was a complete nightmare.

When I started again with an ego-T. I loved every minute of vaping. Since it was so much better then what I had before and the time I got from the batts were incredible to me. Since then, I've grown to like vaping even more with my REO's and eventually my other bottom feeders such as the VV Army Tank V2, and Hog Mod #60.

I thought it was a silly novelty, here today, gone tomorrow....but kept at it because my husband was able to quit using them. I figured if I didn't get up to speed it would eventually cause some serious damage to our marriage. I ended up quitting rather accidentally not too long after I had just accepted that I was going to die a smoker. Had it not been for the support from my husband, I'm sure I'd still be smoking and hating every drag.
