Hi everyone.

I'm four weeks into this and love it. I actually gave up smoking when I was diagnosed with emphysema ten years ago. Started again after eight years and then gave up a year ago. Being a smoker for over fifty years I'm obviously hard core. Always craved it every day. Luckily my emphysema doesn't cause me any particular problems but when I was smoking it certainly did. Because I craved so much I started researching e cigs. Finally decided on Halo gear with triton tank. So excited when it arrived and couldn't believe how good it was! I used to roll my own and it was such a chore especially when they go out so quickly. This is soooo much better. Can just have a puff when ever I feel like it, which appears to be quite often! And can't believe how cheap it is after initial outlay.
Four weeks in and am not coughing and feel fine.
It's a shame I have to buy online from USA. I live in Australia and whilst you can buy e cigs here you can't buy nicotine.It's illegal to sell in Aus but not illegal to import for own use. Go figure!! Love this site and reading all information. I don't understand a lot of it but still really interesting. Have a happy day everyone.:D

Welcome to the forum :toast:

Congrats on finding vaping to be your solution - it's worked for many thousands of us here on ECF.

You've got some good gear there, so you should be right as rain. For many people, it takes a bit to get used to the maintenance, but your home-rolled background has actually prepared you nicely for the task at hand. This is, as you say, easier.

Hi susie and congrats on 4 weeks analog free. It gets better and better with time. I also think it is a shame that vaping is not more acceptable and better embraced.

I hope you find some way to celebrate your being tobacco free for 4 weeks. It is a huge accomplishment and should be rewarded.

Thanks for sharing your experience and I look foward to future posts of your successes (and don't forget to share your vaping challenges because we support each other through those as well).

Keep the vape and namaste.

Welcome to vaping and the ECF!

If you enjoyed RYO as a little ritual, there are lots of good DIY aspects of vaping that may pique your interest. Rebuilding coils, mixing your own juice, etc. etc.

However, there is a ton of information out there for you to learn more about vaping and the different ways to do it. For the time being, just enjoy your low-maintenance setup as is, and all the great flavored juices you're going to try. :toast: :vapor:
