Long time smoker

[Davie]

Been smoking for about 20 years and had my last cig on Friday at 8pm
Got myself the Ego-t with 900 mah and low atomiser thingys.
I have to say i still get the odd craving for a Death stick but holding out strong.
What has hit me most is how everything tastes now.
Its mind blowing what av been missing out on for all them years.
Have started out on Menthol but not found one that taste any good.
So have placed an order of some LnB at 50/50 24mg and will see if that helps me more with that odd craving.
Any help with what i should get or do would be great

Hi Davie and Gratz on making the switch, I was a heavy smoker fro 36yrs when I found these fine implements and could hardly believe how easy it was to quit using them. I started with an eGo and low res attys as well, so that sounds like a great start to me, and remember the odd cravings that hit from time to time - they do ease off and getting some 24mg juice is a good idea.

I can't help out with the menthol bit, never been a fan myself, but I've found it best to order sample flavors wherever possible until I find juices I like from specific vendors.

Welcome to the ECF Davie I know just what you mean about taste coming back. I am starting to not like some of the foods that I used to love like Captain Crunch cereal and starbucks cold coffee drinks.

Congratulations Davie and welcome to ECF! In a few weeks you'll notice breathing is easier too! I recommend trying Halo menthols -they're my favorite, particularly Menthol Ice, while my wife likes TruePure. Berry flavors mixed with menthols work for me too.

I started at 24mg to kill the cravings, and after a few months moved down to 18mg. Good luck finding some good flavors!

I think you still get the craves from some of the other "fun stuff" that is in the analogs. I suffer the same... As I have read many times, it will go away - eventually.

Welcome!! I had the cravings too, they lasted about 2-3 weeks. Just keep holding out strong. It's pretty amazing how you can taste things and start to breathe and feel better. When I started out I got a ton of sample size of different juices from different vendors to find what worked for me. Best of luck to you!

Welcome and grats on making the switch.Have been vaping off an on for the last couple of years but have finally managed to quit myself, 8 days now.Best advice I can give you is get plenty of spares and ALWAYS carry a spare attie and battery with you.

The occasional craving will come up from time to time. Congratulations on your success, and another vote here for the Halo menthol. I've never actually vaped it. but all I hear are good things.

Welcome! I smoked the equivalent of 2 1/2 PAD for 34 years and nothing worked to get me to quit. It's been a month and I'm down to just a few cigarettes a day, which is huge for me and I see it as MAJOR harm reduction, so I'm not hard on myself about it. I don't think you should be hard on yourself either.

I ordered a buttload of new juices a few days ago. One thing I found was that while I love all the sweet tasty flavors, it was almost too much sweet; and the idea of a non-sweet smoke sounds good. So I ordered several tobacco/menthol/spicy flavors.
Also, although the 24 mg strength feels like it's working, I thought maybe some of the super-high (30-ish mg) might also help kill the craving for a smoke, so I ordered a couple of high-test juices too. I need mega TH to feel satisfied. I think once I settle on what really works, I'll be able to give up the last few smokes...but since cutting down so much I really feel amazing.

Hang in there, drink tons of water, and pat yourself on the back for taking such a big step!
