I love it. I have an eGo and a 510. I quit smoking analogs completely about 4 days after I started vaping (the 4th day I only took a hit. And it was just yuck), so I've been smoke free about 3 weeks now.. BUT I don't feel as awesome physically as I thought I would.. I am pretty sure I'm anemic, my throat is sore and lips keep getting chapped (I'm drinking tons of water to help), and I'm a little depressed, but I am doing much better mentally than I've ever done on other methods of quitting.
I'm taking iron and my bruises all over are fading but then reappearing and energy is coming back only to sink suddenly again (I've been taking naps in the day-time with my son. To put this in perspective, I could not nap even when I brought him home as a newborn - I'm a chronic insomniac. But I've actually been napping a lot and still tired. I've also been sleeping in and going to bed earlier, and, uh, I don't do that - either) - I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or quitting smoking or I should try VG only, or what.
My last and only truly successful quit attempt I was pregnant - so 2x the blood volume, vitamins, and high protein, high iron, high vitamin K diet I was on would've made anemia very unlikely that time. Not sure about this. I don't think this is an allergy to PG, but I'm thinking of trying out some only VG just in case this anemia isn't just anemia but an allergy with an a-typical presentation.
Anyway, I have found out I prefer 50/50 40/60 PG/VG anyway since a lot of vapor makes me happier than more TH. I also have found out I don't really like most of the cigarette flavored juices by themselves since I like them spiked with caramel and butterscotch, and am looking for sweet stuff and a cinnamon candy flavor (I LOVE cinnamon), since my juice stash is started to run lowish now. I also now know I don't need higher nic content liquid, and I also prefer cartomizers about 10fold over carts and atty's. I think I also want to get away from the polyfill - it seems like an inefficient way to suck up liquid and can burn. I'm thinking I'll do some sort of mod at some point when my energy and focus returns.
That's me so far!
In case no one remembers, my family is supposed to be joining me in this switch.
DH hasn't even taken more than a few hits off of his PV and hates all of the flavors I get him to try saying they are "too sweet" or with coffee it was "burnt coffee". (I'm getting him some nice strong tobacco flavor soon) He says "anyway, I want to wait til you're 100% functional again". I hate the way he smells and the way his mouth tastes, so I hope as soon as I'm 100% better from this, I get a liquid he likes, and he does take up the vaping. I don't think it helps that his co-workers are all smokers and are extremely skeptical. We'll see.
My mom started out good making the switch.. She loved the clove liquid. She likes the 80/20 PG/VG, cause she loves the TH. She was down to 2 packs a day of analogs (she's a 3-4 pack a day smoker) and vaping at work, at the computer, and anytime we came over. But she has actually quit vaping for now. She has a tooth infection that is making her miserable and in pain, and she says "I just want a cigarette. I don't want this.. thing.. I just want a smoke". I hope once she gets this sorted out that she starts back on the trend toward vaping again.
Those are our experiences so far.
