I've found my Holy Grail!

[timmizeus]

I'm a 2-pack a day smoker for about 10 years. Pretty hardcore if you ask me. Always wanted to try vaping in hopes of kicking this habit. I've heard about it now and then but nothing solid really materialized.

On 25th Feb 2014, I got a birthday gift from my girlfriend. It was an eGo Starter Kit; two eGo-T batteries and a Protank 2 Mini. I was stoked as hell but remain skeptical as I've always had this impression that I will remain a smoker for the rest of my life due to this overpowering addiction.

That was the last day I bought a pack of cigarettes.

It's been over a month now with no cigarettes in sight! Sure, I've stolen a stick or two during the first few weeks but it slowly began to taste like crap and surprisingly, after smoking for 10 years, I can finally say I hated it. My sense of smell came back. I haven't tasted food this good for the longest damn time.

I think I may have found my Holy Grail.

Regards,
Tim


Current setup:
-Joyetech eVic APV
-Kanger Protank 2
-Cigar Caddy 3140 Humidor
-Liqua, Milf juice, Halo and Vermillion River e-liquids

Good stuff bro, glad you removed that nastiness from your life, now the next step is learning to rebuild those coil heads, you will be glad you did...

Grats on quitting the smokes. I quit 12/23/2013 and haven't looked back. Vaping is saving my life and I believe it will take over the tobaccoo industry. But I read today that The big Tobacco Industries are buying out the e-cig vendors. We shall see how things end up in the future I guess

Glad you've found your way into vaping Tim! Looks like you've found good equipment and liquids to keep it fun - congratulations!

Welcome to ECF. Congratulations on being able to stop smoking. I have not had a cigarette for almost 9 months now and it is wonderful. I smoked for 46 years so I do know how you are feeling. Stick around here and do a lot of reading. You will learn all about your equipment and how to maintain it.

Be careful of all the new toys you will find out about here. It can get to be an expensive, but fun, hobby.

Congrats. But try to keep it one day at a time. I've seen people get to where you are & for some reason still find a way back to cigarettes. I don't understand it. I've been at it for two months & can't imagine smoking a cigarette now. But it happens.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Will definitely be sticking around here indefinitely.

And ShariR..46 years?? I think you deserve a medal of honour for that! If only I can convince my dad to quit them stinky sticks, now that will be amazing

I can definitely see why people go back to cigarettes after some time. They're probably not getting the best out of their vaping experiences. That's why I try to surround myself with knowledgeable people like you guys so that I can educate myself and potentially people around me about this.

Always glad to hear success stories. Congrats on quitting a nasty habit....

btw just for knowledge sake, how much does a pack cost in Malaysia?

Congrats on quitting!

Great job Tim! I'm in the quit-after-vaping club too. Too bad vaping doesn't aid in quitting smoking according to the government....

It's about USD 3.80 for a pack of Dunhill 20's. And it will keep increasing every year because most of it are taxes and stuff..

Congratulations and welcome to ECF, Tim! 37 years a smoker for me, almost 3 packs a day. I started vaping, and dropped cigarettes just like that. It has been a fun journey, and it's great to be able to share it and hear about it from other really good like minded people here on ECF. *does happy dance*
