Is transition to ecig possible this way?

[kkahmann]

I have a friend of mine who smoked just like I did--2 PAD for more than 40 years. He picked up an e-cig and never lit up another analog.
I'd like to beat him with a stick!
It took me 3 months of dual usage but it eventually happened--without too much stress.
I'm grateful for that--been almost 3 months now and I can hardly believe it.

Probably took me around a month. I wasn't even really trying to quit in the beginning but eventually I went a whole day without smoking then a week, and it's been all downhill from there!

That first one in the morning with coffee was the hardest for me. I smoked that one for a while then just vaped for the rest of the day.



As an aside I went from 4:30 am this morning to 7 pm tonight without vaping at all. First time I've ever done that. I did have a tiny little bit of snus around lunch.

One thing it to break the habits of your smoking...like in the car and with me, the hardest was after a good meal! Kept a cig alike around even when I upgraded for those moments. But once you get in the habit of vaping instead of smoking its easier.

I don't know how many times I reached for my cigarettes at first beside me on the end table by my couch! The most gratifying thing was the day I threw out all of my ashtrays.....Now I just have a wooden stand beside me instead! LOL

The thought of quitting would give me a panic attack. So, I never actually, officially quit. I simply chose to practice and experiment with vaping and haven't had a cigarette for over 4 years now.

My bf is still smoking his regular 4-5 cigarettes while vaping, he says he can only start reducing his cigarettes once he gets used to the ecig, he's only had the ecig about two weeks, will he get used to the ecig eventually even if he continues to smoke his regular five?

Wait... are you saying he has ALWAYS smoked 4-5 cigs a day? Or that he has cut down to that many?

If he has always smoked 4-5, then his addiction shouldn't be that strong. Help him find the right flavor(s) and it should be fairly easy, if he really wants to quit. Many start off thinking they want tobacco flavors, then find out it's the deserts or fruits they really like.

BTW, I LOVE all the stories in this thread from people who had no intention of quitting, it just happened naturally because of vaping. What a testament to vaping!

YES.... I smoked up to a PACK a day while vaping 2-4ml a day at 18-20mg/ml when I started. Started Vaping in June and had last cigarette in December, currently vaping at 10mg/ml.
