I just started

[ChuckGoodrich]

Yesterday I finally got the last of what I needed to start vaping and quit smoking. Now my starter equipment is a Stingray clone and a Nautilus tank.

I have to say that the tanks that the local vape shop had for me to test the flavors with sucked. Not sure what they were but I could hardly taste the flavors. I thought this is how it was so I settled on a flavor. When I got home I charged my batteries and waited. When they were ready I loaded the tank and took a vape. I could not believe the taste. I could also not believe how horrible the flavor I chose tasted. I do have to say that I will never go back to this vape shop. The owner was too busy talking to a friend to care that I was there and the only other employee was a college student that probably doesn't vape. I was lucky that I had an intermediate knowledge of vaping or I would have been pooched.

On the upside I have not had a smoke for 16 hours. That is saying something since I have cigarettes in the house and I generally have zero will power. I think I found my way to quit.

Wow, you really got nice start-up equipment. Congrats on making the choice to quit and on being cig free for a day! I hope you find some juice that you like. Happy hunting and vaping! Keep us posted on your vaping experiences!!

Welcome ChuckGoodrich

I think I found my way to quit.

E-cigs are the only way to quit for a lot of folks.

Welcome aboard

Yeah, vaping worked for me 43 yr PAD. Got my first vape haven't even wanted a cig since.
Good luck finding a decent vape shop. You'll need a good all day vape or two to keep you going. I'd suggest checking several local shops that will let you sample their juice. Ordering juice on line is a crap shoot.

What sucks is that I already had the Stingray I was waiting to get batteries and the tank. I have a store close to where I work but that is 35 miles away. We just stopped in at a shop I heard about. It was totally up scale. The tank was $10 more than the shop close to work but the charger was $15 less so my wife said go for it. I had done enough research I was able to tell the lady what I wanted up to the juice. Then when we got to that I just gave up on her and just took one. I did have the intelligence to get at 18mil. Still loving the rush I can get off it.

Now the shop by where I work is a total 180. When you walk in you are not walking into Oak everything with places for your spouse to sit while you shop. You are walking into what feels like a head shop. Everyone there knows what they are selling and how it all works. Wen going for a flavor they ask questions about what you like and what you don't like and can suggest flavors. The owner has been there when I was and he stepped forward and answered my questions and made suggestions. I guess like with everything you have your good places and your bad. Then you find one that you never would have guessed it was THE shop until you walk in.

Welcome and Congrat's Chuck!!

same here I was "ready" to quit and this had been totally successful AND it's fun too!

Welcome buddy! Am new around here too though I've been vaping for a few months now. Vaping is definitely a great way to get yourself off cigarettes. I've been free from it for a little over 3 weeks now. Keep it up!

I just got sick of being sick. Every time I get a cold I would choke and gag all night instead of sleep. With 5 kids a lot of things come though the house. I am just freaking sick of being sick. lol
