I'm new, and I'm addicted to analogs

[cynyc2]

I admit it. I am addicted. I had my first analog 35 years ago when I was 9. I have tried to quit by various means, and I always failed. A week and 1/2 back, a friend let me try his Green-smoke (the mall guys). I thought, hey, this is cool, and I started the research. Well, he paid 130 bucks for 2 kits, and I will pay 1/3 of that for some Riva 510s from Liberty-Flights (20% discount) and a disposable from madvapes, with some e-juice thrown in.

I figured what the heck and ordered the disposable. After 3 more days of research, I took the plunge on the Rivas. Sounds like a great deal, and if I don't switch to vaping, maybe my wife will (she wants to try my products). Worst case scenario, I am out for less than a carton of analogs. Best case, I breath better, smell better, taste better, and avoid the risk of cancer that I risk now.

Regards all, Rob.

Welcome to ECF! I think you'll really like the Riva. I started with Green Smoke, hated them and bought a Riva. I quit smoking the day I got it. That was back in September of last year. It wouldn't surprise me if it helps you quit, too!

Hi and nice to meet you. You'll switch if you're determined. I smoked for 36 years and this is the first time I was ever able to quit for more than a few days. It can be done. More power to you.

Welcome to the forum, new friend. Like you, I've been a smoker since around that same age (3rd grade), and have been beating myself up for the longest time, wanting to get rid of the analogs.

The people here are AWESOME to say the least. This is an actual community of caring people who know what you're going through, because they've been there before. I'm still new to it, and today is day 2 of using strictly my PV. It's still rough, but if you have your heart set on it like I do, then you'll conquer all. Good luck to you and your Mrs.

Welcome! We were all addicted to smoking. I smoked a bit longer than you and never even had the guts or willpower to try to quit. But vaping is such a good replacement it just worked.

Hi and Welcome! You came to the right place!
I think your worse case scenario is you cut back on the cigs and your best case is you quit them! So basically I believe that's a win either way!
You bought a nice starter kit as Me and the Wifey both use the Rivas and are very happy with them! Hope you ordered some good juice! Keep us posted and let us know how it's going!
Alot of knowledgeable people here so make sure and take full advantage of the resources!
Good Luck!

Wow! You folks are quick to welcome a newb! Thank you, I really appreciate it. I might be back a bit for moral support. I might need you guys more than I would want to.

Glad you decided to take the plunge! Welcome and good luck to you!

You'll be surprised at how much you'll love the ecig after a few days of use. Get some delicious juice and soon you'll be completely disgusted with analogs. You just have to give yourself a little time to get used to it. I smoked for a while at first, but within a week I was down to 2-3 analogs a day. Then I realized that I loved the ecig more and no more analogs were necessary. Then I thought, "I'm going to live instead of dying young from cancer or heart disease." It's a great feeling when you realize that you don't need the analogs anymore. Good luck to you!

Hi cynyc2, jump in the vaping is great! I was addicted to analogs as longer than you. I've been vaping for five days now and never look back. After you vape for a couple of days I think you'll find it's a lot tastier and a lot more fun than smoking analogs. Good luck to you.

Welcome, former 40 year pad Kool smoker here. I didn't want to quit, but my eGo (Riva is an eGo clone) made it so easy, I did quit. Let us know how you're doing.
