I got my Pop to quit and start the juice after 45 years on Camel Nons. He is 62, It took him about a week, been over a year now and he's never looked back! Looks years younger and his CONSTANT hacking is gone. So proud of him! Not like my Pop to try "new fangled" things

I'm 23, smoked for 10 years. Was going through about 1.5 packs a day, and just got into vaping a week or two ago. Still craving analogs, but cutting them back a lot. I have days where I smoke 2 and days where I smoke 10. I just got a VV battery, kanger tank and juice I love which is helping a lot.

Congrats on the progress and welcome! The more control you have over your vape the more satisfying you can make it! Sounds like you are on the right path my friend with your hardware choices and finding that "go to" "all day vape" is crucial IMO to making the complete transition. I wish you luck! Tons of info here and great folks to help if you cant find the answers you need.

My first Marlboro was in 1984 in forth grade. didn't start really smoking until January 1990. i had my last smoke friday july 18th 2014 at about 2 in the afternoon. about 20 minutes before i bought my first ego and protank 2.

At first it is more expensive, or can be.
you have a nice unit, the provari mini, stick with it. No hardware in that class is going to make your vaping better.
different tanks/coil type will drastically change the flavor and vapor.
i highly recommend you avoid any and all protank 1 or 2's
i can't speak for the 3's or new unit they have but I settled on the Aspire BDC type and aside from a rebuild able it's the best flavor and experience thus far.

dont go all crazy buying mods and such as they won't get you anything other than bling.

Play with different tank/coil types but stick with the provari and you will find things are cheaper but not by much.

juice will also drain your bank if you are trying a lot of them.
i urge you and anyone to get sample kits when ever possible.
i would start with GoodLifeVapor.com as they have tons of really good quality juices ranging from fruity to exotic
spook sauce and high 5 are my favorites.

oh and I'm 42 and was smoking for almost 30yrs
they truly taste like turpentine now and I hate them, though crave them everyday.
vaping just isn't the same but I have accepted that and won't start smoking again

I been smoke free for 11 months

stick with it, it's hard and keeps being hard, but your body will thank you for it.

kind of a funny side note (no pun intended by what I am gunna say) but before vaping when I would have a good hard laugh I would cough, now... Nope, not even a glimmer of a cough when I have a good hearty laugh.
that to me is one of the biggest joys as it was embarrassing to me to laugh hard at something and end up coughing in the end because of my lungs.

lastly I am a life long migraine sufferer, had them since I was little, and since I started vaping I don't get them but a fraction of the time now. Smoking is soooo bad for people with migraines so if anything, switch to stop the headaches.

Everyone's experience is different. I was a hardcore smoker @ 2 PAD of USA Gold 100's for 38 years with no intention of quitting. I don't crave analogs at all and live with a dedicated smoker. I didn't buy a ProVari or boutique juices but I've bought whatever I wanted (see list below). I went short of nothing and in fact have way more than I need, of everything. I DIY and rebuild now so my costs go down year by year. Total at the three year mark (2/14) $3924 spent, $5376 saved not counting whatever price hikes on smokes since 2/11 because I don't know nor care what they cost now. Everyone's experience is different.

Hello -
A few things.
First off, congrats on quitting. Smoking the real thing is a horrible habit !
Second - what is an ibtank?
Lastly - I don't think vaping is going to be more expensive for you. You started off a tad costly and went straight to a nice setup.
A collection of things is not necessary, just habitual, happens to all of us. Now, I use the same thing day in and day out yet I have a ton of stuff I bought in the beginning and don't need/use it. So my costs are low low low now. All I purchase anymore is juice and coils.
Be well~Barbara~

I'm currently vaping on the protank mini 2 and like it well enough. I do not much care for the wick/coil system so I bought an ibtank for the provari. I think it's going to work out much better.

I think the juice is going to be my downfall. I've put so many hours into researching the right mod for me so I feel like I got that down. But now it's time to focus on the limitless options for juice!
