Just introducing myself

[brownbob06]

Hello all!

I've been on this site lurking a few times for vape reviews. I decided to join and get in on the conversation in hopes it will help me quit smoking.

A bit about me and my smoking habit: I was a pack a day smoker since I started smoking. I started smoking when I was probably 23 so I've been smoking around 3 years. I started a new job in Feb. that I spend a lot of time driving from job to job and am now up to 2 or 2+ packs a day.

I have tried to use vapes to quit smoking and as a matter of fact I have 2 Vamo V2s, an EGO variable wattage vape and a rebranded EGO vape (Puff e-cig.)

I took my time to read reviews and find out what good vapes are so I know it's not my equipment. As a matter of fact, the first day I had a vaporizer I went from a pack down to 3 cigarettes. I don't remember how long that lasted or why it didn't last but it didn't.

I just don't understand because my brother and I both started vaping at the same time. He was a smoker who switched to chewing tobacco and since he started using his vape has completely kicked his tobacco habit.

I'm frustrated, feel like crap all the time, winded when I shouldn't be and am spending WAAAAAAYY too much money on cigarettes....

Not positive why I decided to make my first post a long bio. Guess I'm just looking for some help.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! We have a tobacco store that just recently started carrying a lot of vaping products. I've been trying different fruity flavors and none of them really work for me :/

I smoke menthol so at first I thought I should just use menthol liquid but after some research I found a lot of prople saying what worked for them was finding a flavor they enjoyed more... I'm thinking about just trying straight menthol. Perhaps what works for them just doesn't work for me!

Thabks for the repky too BTW. I was beginning to thjnk my introduction was just going to be moved back multiple pages with no replies!

Also, what else did you do to help you quit smoking? I'm sure just picking up a vaporizer didn't automatically make the cravings stop.

For a long time I just said "I could quit if I wanted to, I just don't want to." It's come back to bite me in the .... because now I want to quit and can't :/

Hi brownbob06, welcome into the big ECF club

good gear AND good juice is what will do it

you have VV devices, so that's just fine

need some good topper tanks that will work for you
and you can maintain easy to keep them running good

then the search for juice - WE ALL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR THE BEST

look around, pick one and make a small order of many little flavors

once you get to 'vape' good, the other "bad habit" will just flat out diminish

good luck

I was a menthol smoker for 31 years, and I found my fave so far is Mt. Baker Vapor's Extreme Ice. It's very reasonable, and it's a very strong mint, with no tobacco flavor, which I didn't actually care for anyways! And it has a nice mint aftertaste too....so much better than cigarettes, and it's nice and strong like I really wanted my menthol cigarettes to taste. So I still get to use my hands like with cigs, I still get to inhale and blow out stuff like cigs, and it has the taste I always wanted a cig to taste like, so vaping has been great for me so far, now that I found a flavor I like for everyday use (with other flavors once in a while during the day just for fun).

to ecf brownbob06. So glad you are here. This happens to be one heck of a big support group. Be proud of yourself, you have really cut back to almost being smoke-free. If you are still having urges, you could possibly up the nic a little to see if that helps. You could also try a real tobacco extract. Here is one place that I have heard good things about. Whole Tobacco Alkaloid WTA Eliquid Ejuice Let us know if you have any problems or concerns, one thing about it.........everyone here knows what you are talking about and we really care.

Welcome brownbob06. Everybody is different, and quitting the cigs is different for each individual even with ecigs. Easier for some, harder for others. Try Rat2chat2's suggestion and up your nic level a bit and see if that helps to eliminate the cravings for a cig. Good luck!

 

[brownbob06]

I think you misunderstand.i haven't cut back.. went from 1 pack a day to 2 or more :/ lol.


But thanks all! I hope to keep trying flavors and kick the cigarettes for good.! I will probably start trying some different tanks too. I've been using Kangertech T3S
