Smoked 1 1/2 packs per day for 30 yrs. Took about a week to switch completely. At first I was still smoking about 3 - 4 analogs per day. Been on e-cigs for 33 days now! 18mg.
If you switched from analogs to vaping...

This is my first attempt to transition from lurker to poster, hopefully my responses are in bold.
1. I was smoking a 1/2 pack a day.
2. Switch was almost instantaneous... I picked up a disposable at the gas station a "cigalectric" it wasnt the greatest but it sold me on the idea. For the next week I researched like crazy online and was lucky enough to find ECF
3. I smoked 2-3 cigs for the first 4 days... on the 5th day one and none since!
4. ALL THE TIME! Constantly.. like a chimney.. but I've cut back quite a bit since I started a month ago
5. I've used anywhere from 12-24 but mostly 18 and thats what I've stuck with. I find I can do 12.. just have to vape more at a time..

1. How many packs a day did you smoke
Two to three packs of Newport 100s a day.
2. How long did the switch take
First week, although I do still appreciate an analog now and then for the taste.
3. Number of analogs and vapng each day during the switch.
I don't recall, less than a pack a day and not very much vaping.
4. How much did you vape every day after the switch.
I'm at about 5ml on an average day, sometimes more.
5. What mg nicotine did you use to switch
I think it was around 12mg at the time, I still mostly vape 12mg unless I need a little boost.
Two to three packs of Newport 100s a day.

1 to 1.5
2. How long did the switch take
Almost instantly
3. Number of analogs and vapng each day during the switch.
Had a "nightcab" 2 days, standing in the doorway.
Noticeable is, that after a period only vaping, most seems to recent smoking analogues (me too).
4. How much did you vape every day after the switch.
Don't have a good measurement (yet) - maybe 3ml a day.
5. What mg nicotine did you use to switch
12-18 mg. Have invested in 24mg (to dilute), but 24mg is good to end any immediate cravings.
Extra: 6. How long did it take you to overcome that "it must look like a cigarette"
I didn't have it. Anyone that have had it for moire than 14 days ? lol

Nice to hear all these stories from people using the e-cigs.

Mr Smith
Actually it was very different for me at least I feel. I was a 1.5-2 PAD smoker. I had my last analog at 1130am one day and started vaping at 12:00 just 30 mins later and never looked back. I find that I vape more because I believe and heard that you aren't getting the same nicotine from your vapes as you would a drag of an analog. And honestly its just more fun I started at 36mg and now close to 2 month later I am down to 18mg depending on the juice some juice I like better at 24mg of the TH.
Glad you are switching, welcome to the forums

I was a pack and a half a day smoker. I had tried the Njoy Npro about 4yrs ago as they were advertised in the truck stops. (I drove for 15yrs) It didn't work for me. The kit had a bad battery so only one would charge. I used it pretty regularly but smoked analog while waiting for the one good one to charge. Didn't work out too well and tasted funny. I thought about it again when a friend got a kit and tried it but didn't take to it either. So I got the kit from them and went on the Internet to try and research other brands. WOW there are a ton of them now. I settled on a MaxxFusion (KR808D-1). Got it about 3 weeks ago and have only bought 4 packs of analogs since. Nowadays there are so many e-liquids to refill with. Almost converted over to e-cig completely. Using 24mg juice and a pass through also. Vape almost constantly at the computer. So far so good! After 2 heart attacks and 7 stent implants maybe I can switch altogether and then slowly cut the nicotine down. Nice and gradually.

1. How many packs a day did you smoke 1.5 to 2 packs
2. How long did the switch take 1 day
3. Number of analogs and vapng each day during the switch. no analogs. tried vaping and no more analogs.
4. How much did you vape every day after the switch. 8-10 mls
5. What mg nicotine did you use to switch 15-18mg

1. How many packs a day did you smoke
Mostly a pack and a half. more if drinking. over 20 years
2. How long did the switch take
Almost Immediately. had to go a full day without an analog. the next day they tasted like crap. and i didnt even get my fix since i was on a higher dose of nicotine.
3. Number of analogs and vapng each day during the switch.
Like i said 0
4. How much did you vape every day after the switch.
At first almost constantly. hard to gauge when your "done" but you get into a routine eventually.
5. What mg nicotine did you use to switch
Started on 36 mg. I think getting hooked on such a high does makes getting off analogs alot easier. though the 36's may seem a bit harsh to most .. i got used to them quickly. every month or so i dropped down in levels ... 24 ... 18 .... 11 ... 8 ... 4 ... finally to 0
I was on zero nicotine for a few weeks actually ... but the flavors and the throat hit were gone from my vaping experience. i made the choice to go back to 4 mg and been there ever since. figure 4 mg nicotine cant be any worse than the 4 or 5 cups of coffee i drink every day so ... lol
BTW do NOT buy the Njoy or the Blu ... i tried them both first and they suck. I recomend getting a starter kit from Vapor4Life-Because it's your life - E-Cigarettes/Smoking Alternatives
they make great juices and lots of flavors also. eventually you may want to get a few batteries and carts from these guys Electronic Cigarettes By Bloog
the maxx fusion carts are amazing ... although they dont have the wide variety of flavors and toys to choose from ... they're new yet so ... good luck man!
