Greetings All,
Having smoked for roughly 12 years, I knew what I was doing wasn't healthy but just couldn't bring myself to quit. Then, about two weeks ago my dad of all people sent me a news article about e-cigs and got me thinking.
I figured I'd give it a try since I knew that I couldn't quit cold-turkey, so I hopped over to the local gas station to try out some NJOY disposables. At first I wasn't sold, and continued to smoke analogs along with the disposables, desperately trying to figure something out that would help me quit.
It was then that I decided to do some internet "research" and ended up at the V2 cigs site. I got my starter kit and everything I needed to make "the switch." After getting my kit and finding a couple of flavors that I liked (though strangely enough not at first) I knew that with the right equipment this could, no must, work for me.
After being introduced to the world of ecigs with V2, I decided to do some actual research to see what else I was missing. This brought me to ECF, and the treasure-trove of knowledge and experience of its members.
While the V2 was working just fine, I knew I needed that "extra something" to make this switch last, so after some consideration and me being a noob, I went ahead and bought the Halo Triton starter kit as it seemed to included everything I needed to continue my journey in one neat, easy-to-use and noob-friendly package.
After getting the Triton I knew for sure that I could make this work if I tried hard enough. I love this thing! I had gear that worked great for me, one backup device (V2) and some pretty standard juices (I like the simple flavors right now), so now all I needed was to make the promise to myself to stick with vaping.
I smoked my last analog on Friday, July 12th at around lunch time, and haven't looked back. I am now 4 days in, and while that may not seem like that long it is the longest I have gone without an analog since college. I can't believe it, it's like a new world has opened up. It's been tough so far though, as most of my co-workers smoke, but vaping now tastes so much better that I can stand near them at the smoking area and not bum one of their real smokes.
I do still want to smoke, and the nights and mornings have been especially rough, but I'm hanging in there and committed.
When did the urges and thoughts get better for you all?
Apologies for the long post, but I needed to get it out there to like-minded folk, as the people I know that smoke aren't interested in vaping and I know of no-one else that does vape, so it's a solo-mission for now. And again, all of the people who've successfully made the switch and posted about their experiences and trials are keeping me strong, so thank you all!
