Hi everyone,
First time poster, but I've gotten lots of great info here, so I want to be part of the community.
I was a pack-a-day smoker (or near enough to a pack, sometimes more on weekends) for 10 years. And now the number of cigarettes I smoke is...zero!
Long story long, I started off with some Halo G6 pens. Using these, I cut back on probably 3 or 4 cigarettes a day, give or take. Course it wasn't long before they either didn't work well, or not at all, and the throat kick wasn't what I was hoping for. Did I mention I smoked camels...
In an extreme turn of luck, a vaper friend of mine gave me a mod she wouldn't ever use again - an Itaste134: some call it the Sonic Screwdriver, others the Light Sabre. Using this, I just vaped more because I liked it so much more. Blue Raspberry! At this point I was down to maybe 8 cigarettes a day by default. It wasn't to be, though. The 134 went kapoot. Didn't matter how well and what I cleaned, how many different tanks I tried. Every single hit was a badly burnt one.
At this point I went to analogues again, but only for as long as it took for the Vamo V5 to arrive. This was a fantastic mod, and using it, I went down to 2 or 3 cigarettes a day, 4 at the MOST on the weekends. Eventually, this went down to 2 a day, and no more. No matter what, the only analogues I had were 1. in the morning with my coffee and 2. with my glass of wine at night.
And there I stayed for a good month, until the Vamo started being finicky. Even though I never went above 3.7 volts, and even reducing the wattage to less than 8, 4 consecutive vapes always burnt the juice. I cleaned it, replaced the tank and atomizer, and I can go easy and vape steady, but I needed something more reliable.
So...I got the MVP 2.0. And it's been working great, no complaints at all. I figured with a mod that reliable, I could, afterall, quit analogues completely come the new year...and I did. And it wasn't hard, and it isn't hard. The stubborn part of me clinging to the morning and evening analogues disappeared the morning I went out with my coffee and vaped instead of smoked. I was expecting to feel cheated, to feel somehow like something was missing, but I didn't. It was great!
I've been completely smoke free for 3 days and I have no intention whatsoever at going back. For back-up, I have my Vamo v5, my wife's MVP 2.0, and soon I'll have a mech mod that I'm getting piece by piece, sort of as a project to either chase clouds or get a hit that sends my nic craving straight into the abyss with a sonic boom chest hit.
TL;DR: Because of vaping, I quit a ten year pack-a-day habit. It took about 4 months of cutting down little by little, but it happened.
vaping rules!!
