I can barely contain my excitement!

Hi all! I just started vaping October 15, 2013. I have smoked for 30 years and have never been successful at quitting. I smoked a carton a week. I noticed that my local tobacco store was advertising vaping. So I went into the store to see what all this was about. Instead of purchasing a carton of cigs, I bought a Tripl3 eGo 900 kit. I insisted that I would need a tobacco flavor ejuice to help with quitting. So I got the "camel" and "smooth tobacco" that Tripl3 sells. At first, I didn't like the flavors at all. They both tasted like perfume to me. The taste did improve a bit but still not my favorites. Two days later I went back and bought the "spearmint" which is spot on and I absolutely love. I then went back yesterday and bought "cherry" and "cinnamon". I do not like the cherry and the cinnamon taste just like a Marlboro Menthol ciggy! Bother cherry and cinnamon are bearable but so far I think I will stick with the spearmint, as it really taste like it. I am hoping my local store starts to offer samples or taste test so I don't waste to much money.

I haven't smoked a regular cig in 3 days and still can not believe that this little device is responsible for that. It really has been pain free! This has been nothing short of a miraculous. I have noticed that I need to drink more water. I read here that vaping causes dehydration somewhat. Anyway, that is my story....lol I am living proof that if "I" can quit smoking analogs.....anyone can! Good luck to you all that have wanted to quit and are considering ecigs/vaping! I am SOLD!

PS...if anyone has a ejuice recommendation, please advise!!

Welcome and congrats. There's tons of juice available from all over. I was a menthol smoker, and still do like menthol, but I find I prefer all the stuff I couldn't get before as a smoker (cinnamon, chocolate, fruit, etc.)

Congratulations you could try mixing your own that way you will just buy your base liquid pg vg or pgv the you strength of nic you want I mix my own now I buy a 50/50 1.8mg nic already mixed so I don't have to worry about measuring nic I just add my flavour juice and that's it that way if I don't like a flavour I only waste couple pounds / dollars on a flavour I pay about £10.00 for 200ml 50/50 pgv 1.8mg and £2.00 for a flavour and just add to my taste and its also a lot cheaper this way to plus you can mix what ever amount you want I started because I could not get any grants vanilla custard so I thought I would make my own

Welcome to the ecf Sounds like you are on your way. Just a warning...It becomes a hobby

 

[SoCalMichelle]

Welcome to ECF!

You will find yourself becoming more involved and love it more and more everyday!

 

[Muffinmight]

WoW! Thank you all for the invaluable information and warm welcome!! I had to laugh about the warning of this becoming a "hobby"! (I think I am addicted to vaping already) Thank you ECF for providing invaluable information for newbies like myself. I can't wait to delve into all the great information here.

 

[pascloud]

You sound like me. It's been since Oct 16th for me and no cigs since. I want to tell everyone I see smoking a cigarette in the street, "NOOOOOO!!!" lol

Welcome to you and congratulations. I quit analogs a month ago and am amazed as well.
As for finding the right juices for you I would suggest buying samples online. There are many, many vendors out there and you never know what you might like. Just last week I found 2 that I love but have had many I didn't care for. I found my local shop (which does let you try them) doesn't have much there I like. There are a couple that is ok and what I have been using until I find those that I love. I am still buying samples and know I will find more soon. Best of luck to you!

Most all of us have been there and it's a great revelation. Just think how many more flavors are available to try. Knowing I needn't rely on a pack of cigs anymore is one of the best feelings I have experienced.
