This is my first post, and, I figured, I'm too new to post a "success" story, let's give it a little more time.
Anyway, here's my experience with E-cigs thus far. I had absolutely no intention of quitting. I was a little under 1 pack/day smoker (Newports) for the past 10 years. I only bought an E-cig (KR-801D-1) so that I wouldn't be as uncomfortable in airports (I fly 100K+ miles per year for work). Last week I had to fly to Vegas (5 hour flight) and brought along my ecig. I had just gotten the PCC and brought along a few (not enough, I think I burned them all not knowing what I was doing) carts.
As usual, I took a few drags in the airport. And then, when I landed in Vegas, I jumped right in a cab and didn't take the time to smoke. Got the the hotel, checked in, got up to my room (on the 61st floor) and decided I didn't feel like walking back outside; so just had a few drags off the ecig can called it a night.
The next morning I woke up feeling pretty good. I normally would smoke before I get into the shower, but, again, it was about a 10 minute walk to the smoking area. I just used the e-cig again, hopped in the shower and then went about my day.
I was in Vegas for 5 days, and, by day 3, I started really thinking about "not smoking" and using the vape instead. It wasn't "hard", I just pretended I was smoking (walked outside to the smoking section) and fired up the 801 instead.
Came home from the trip and immediately ordered more supplies for the 801; and, also, placed an order for the Ego-T. Frankly, I don't care how much money I waste trying different models/liquids/etc; this is my life we're talking about here. I'm sure I'll find some things I like and some I don't (already found out that 24MG liquid is way too strong, as I sit typing this with a ripping headache). I don't care if the Ecigs cost me more than real cigs, this isn't a cost saving exercise, it's a life saving one.
Anyway, I just cannot believe how easy it was to transition from the "real stuff" to the eCig. It was amazing, I'm already starting to dislike the cig flavored carts and think I'll be moving to something a bit more palatable soon. I have 2 full cartons of Newports at home and have had 0 urge to smoke a single one. I'm sure I'll throw them out at some point, but, it's just not even an issue, I just don't want one.
I'm also going to pass along my VERY limited experience, and hope that it will help others..
If you're using the 801, get a PCC (personal charging case). It makes it much more "natural" to carry around and then you'll always have a good charge. When the charge gets low the vapor sucks, and you want to switch back to a real cig (this was my problem in the past, I didn't have the PCC and never really "liked" the 801 as much a real cig).
The "number of cigs per cart" number is totally bogus. The 801 carts are supposed to be a pack of smokes. In reality, they are probably 4-5 smokes. This isn't really a "problem", just realize it and plan accordingly.
Don't burn (if it tastes weak/bad, the cart is empty) your carts, put on a new one and...
Don't throw away your carts. Get some juice and refill them.. It couldn't be easier, and it's about 1/10th the cost of a new cart.
Hope my very limited experience helps others, really enjoying vaping and not smoking!
