Made it 6 days without an cigarette

[son et lumiere]

Then caved in because my atomizers broke. Since i started vaping I would go the whole week without a cigarette and then buy a pack on the weekend and smoke it. Now for the past couple of months I have been having about 1-2 cigarettes a day and about 3-5 mini cigars. I threw away all of cigarettes and didnt really have the need for one. On this 6 day journey I was feeling so much better. I won't forget how much of a second class citizen you feel like when you smoke wow. It's huge. My voice returned and I could hit notes. My breathing was better. My sleep was phenominal. I have never slept so much in the past 6 days. Anyways all my atomizers broke. went through like 5 in 6 days. And have returned temporarily to cigarettes. I'm determined to get back on the wagon after I get my new atomizers and they should be here tomorrow. I'm going to be stocking up on them I guess 5 spare atomizers isnt enough. This forum has really been a huge support along with my family. And I really see a good outlook for the future for getting off analogs completely.

Wow I hope your luck with atomizers changes. I started vaping on July 10th and am only on my 2nd. You may want to order your new ones from a different place than you got your first ones that died. I'm no expert though still kinda new myself.

PS- Great job on making it 6 days. I bet you'll do great when you get your equipment to cooperate better.

That is okay at least you managed 6 days without anything. Well hopefully your supply comes soon and you can switch right back over.

 

[son et lumiere]

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping to do. Fall off the horse and get right back on.

Equipment failures are a drag.

YIKES....I hear it on the equipment failure....my PCC stopped charging one night and I was jonesing...LOL...BUT a member shot me out a batt back up w/pcc and in the meantime, I was able to get my pcc to work but flipping batts every hour...(okay maybe because I'm CONSTANTLY vaping...LOL)....I would DEF find another supplier for your atty's....depending on your model, valuevapor.com seems to have GREAT prices on atty's....and cartomizers...check that out....I only have had one atty, ordered a spare and when it came in it didn't work, but they sent me a replacement asap, and i'll rotate cleaning them.

Don't lose faith though....and don't beat yourself up....just move forward when you get it all in place, just like a diet, so ya slip up one day, tomorrows a new day!

Thanks for the support. I fell off the horse yesterday. Had one smoke today until my new atomizers came in and I am back on the horse. Feels great to be an ex.

You are doing just fine....try not to worry about it too much...we are all proud of you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[son et lumiere]

Thanks that means a lot.

 

[rosesense]

You are doing great...because you are still here and still trying. You will make it if you never give up. Kudos to you for getting back on the horse.

Thanks I went just went another 4 days without a cig and caved in because of equipment failure. I wasnt going crazy with an e cig or a real cig. I am feeling more confident more now than ever that I can quit. Thanks for the support.

Get a $8 box of cartomizers to keep around for back up.............................................................................................

 

[son et lumiere]

New atomizers on their way. Thanks

 

[rosesense]

I had that happen early on and since then, I have gone a bit overboard to make sure I have back ups for the back ups, if you know what I mean.

 

[son et lumiere]

I now have atomizers and back on the horse I go.

 

[Seabrook]

Aw, son et lumiere, you are just too cute! I love your truthfulness and your dedication to persuing this. Hang in there - don't make me come lookin for ya, LOL. If you're going through so many atomizers, maybe you should get some cartomizers to keep the atty wet enough, and just top them off when needed. Remember, the atomizer has to be kept wet at all times, but not gurgly wet.

 

[son et lumiere]

Thanks I'm trying I went another 4 days without a cigarette caved in had 2 then 3 yesterday. 0 today and it's staying that way. Again thanks for your support.

son,
don't rush yourself. I rushed myself too much and had a horrendous withdrawal period. First I got depression for 4 days, and I caved. I even cried. After I got back on track more slowly, I got insomnia and couldn't get to sleep until sometimes 3:30am. After that, I got severe acne and ruined by usually blemish-free complexion. I'm just now starting to get over that 4-month acne period. I even had to wear makeup to cover it up. I think you're already having success even w/smoking a few cigs a day. Think of all the ones you're not having. Just take your own sweet time about it, dearheart. Your body will let you know.

Thanks I havent had a cigarette since I last posted this so 2-3 days. I'm feeling pretty good. My self esteem builds each day I dont have a cigarette but I have just not been thinking about it. I also have becomes more determined to quit smoking than ever before. I really want to quit. I never really put the effort into it before but now I am and it's going good. Again thanks for your support.
