I'm officially an Ex-Smoker...

[Princessa]

At 11:59pm on November 17, 2010... I finished my LAST analog. I am determined not to buy another pack! Pray for those that I come into contact with in the next week or two, they'll need it ;o)

According to my spreadsheet based on avg smoked daily and current cost per pack, I'd already saved $64.13 just cutting down tremendously since getting my Joye eGo kits on 11/4/10. Ooh, that's about 2 weeks, not too shabby.

So, I'm a DROP in the bucket towards the ol' break even point on what I've spent on vaping, and already have the next 10 purchases planned out in my head... pushing that point farther and farther away! LoL

Oh, and NOW, I deserve a banner in the sig ;o)
Let the celebrations begin!

 

[kabonk]

congrats it a good feeling when you stop smoking I was verry happy for days after stopped

 

[Princessa]

And, you still should be! Way to go already!!!

 

[Icoth]

Congratulations. You need to throw a party to celebrate when you break even. I will expect my invitation in a year or two So much to try, so much to buy, lol. Actually I think I'm doing pretty good with the cost compared to analogs. I also think that's going to change. Have my eye on a few things. Oh well, it's fun and the real benefit is my health.

Way to go...

 

[kellogg]

Congratulations to you!

 

[kabonk]

no I mean really happy like euphoric I didn't think I'd ever be able to quit, but looking back I might have just had a nicotine buzz

 

[Leicestrian]

Congratulations Princessa!

 

[cskalash]

Well i made a excell file with all my expenses on e-cig compared to the money i would spend in analogs.
Right now i'm spending 180EUR->245USD more in e-cigs than i would spend in analogsD and it's been just 5 weeks lol After this lasts shippments arrive i won't buy anything for 2 months, that way i will compensate congratulations princessa, that's the way it is.

way to go !!! What is your favorite flavor to vape ?

 

[Princessa]

way to go !!! What is your favorite flavor to vape ?

Ummm... "Yes"? ;o)

Still spending, I mean, searching to figure that one out! I love MadVapes Caramel Cream (I must, I have barely a single drop left - but they shipped a 30ml yesterday!) - its just a bit rich for all day, so I break it up with Red Energy (Liberty-Flights, but I've seen red bull everywhere) and Amaretto / Cream Soda; my odd-ball flavor right now is Bubble Gum. (Odd Ball meaning rotating daily)

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! My break even point (assuming I keep spending DOWN a bit from now until then), WOULD be somewhere around the end of January... LoL We'll see how that goes. I think, just the behavioral part of my smoking addiction proves a bit of weakness in that self control arena ;o)

Big congrats to you Princessa!!! Way to go on kicking those analogs to the curb. For now just wrap yourself in vaping....forget about the expenses and just revel in the fact that you did it!!! =)

YAY- Good for you!!!! Get some good juice and vape your head off- you'll be fine as far as mood swings and people you come in contact with!! When you feel you strongest urges for the analogs, vape, vape, vape and you'll get through it. I have a pack of analogs in my car (has 4 cigs in it) and I keep them, kinda as a security blanket. I find that if I don't have them, I will freak out. That's just me though. I've had them in my car and not touched them in the 2 out of 3 months that I have been vaping. You can do it, I really believe you can! I've smoked for 30 yrs 1.5-2 packs a day. I vape @30mg nic and pretty much alot more than I smoked analogs. Don't worry about that- the nic gets absorbed into your body differently than the analogs do, so vape away!!

Congrats! Break-even point you're next!

 

[rwaters]

Congrats Princessa... I've been all "digital" since Monday as well.

 

[sjct]

Congrats! U CAN DO IT!

I passed my two month and break-even milestones this week. Alto, I'm probably going to blow the break-even part soon by upgrading. I keep telling myself I'm perfectly satisfied with my 510 and array of batt chargers but the urge to move up to an Ego or Leo is becoming irresistible.

 

[Princessa]

Thanks again, everyone... and w00t! back at'cha rwaters! WE can all do it together ;o)

I would go nuts knowing those 4 cigs sat in my car... ;o) In fact, since I have none, I'm finding things much easier going... of course, walking around work today... telling everyone, was a good feeling too ;o)

Got one other comment about today, but it's probably best in another thread - probably one already existing, and if not... well, look for it from me LoL... I'm definitely keeping it separate from all this positive talk in this thread!

Oh, sjct - keep a look out - Liberty-Flights Black Friday deal announced - eGo kits @ $40 ;o) Sounds a bit irresistible to me

 

[Suzette]

Congrats! I am still trying to stay off of the analogs! I plan on taking advantage of the Black Friday sales as well and get some higher nicotine carts and/or liquid to see if this helps! Yeah Black Friday!!

 

[Stosh]

Good for you !! Stick to it, you really will feel better.

Regarding the $$$$, I'm still under the amount in my signature banner,
but I'm just NOT saying by how much....
