How to do one year smoke free the hard way....

[Stosh]

Started vaping bas-ackwared. I quit first, then went BP, then found e-cigs, then tried to find out how to use them, then found ECF.

I quit smoking due to circumstances beyond my control. (hospital didn't have a smoking wing) and after a recovery period at home, I was dying for a cigarette. Picked up nicotine gum instead, one more try for big pharma....

I had heard about e-cigarettes in a radio commercial, decided to try them as I was getting the normal stomach upset with the gum. My first was a M401, hardly any vapor and I had no clue what I was doing. Purchased a 801 next, better but I was still having trouble getting a decent vape.

Researching on the web was confusing at best and after about 2 1/2 months of frustration, I finally found ECF. Read a lot, posted a little, learned a boat-load, and purchased a standard ego..... couldn't believe the difference. (also was learning how to vape, fill a cart, clean an atty)

Now looking back I can say the only reason I'm not smoking today was finding ECF and the wonderful people here. I still see posts from the same members that answered my first newbie questions, their dedication to helping people is amazing. Their patience is unbelievable, thank you all.

I agree. I am sure I would still be smoking analongs if it weren't for the forum. I would have had no idea what to do when I ran into my first "burnt" taste and probably would have given up right there. I am at just over 3 months now and already have a mod Congrats on being smoke free for a year stosh!

Getting really close to my one year also. And, in the same boat as you, if it weren't for ECF...I would have failed big time. I found it about a month into vaping. I needed something better than the little 510. Jumped to an eGo and Riva by all the recommendations and then to mods. Thank Heavens that people on here had a lot of patience with me and that mods were created!

Congrats on your one year! I'm right behind you and hopefully we will celebrate year #2.
