My experience in just 2 1/2 days:

[muldrick]

From May 05, 2009 and backwards for 30+ years I was a 1 1/2 pack a day smoker.
I purchased an electronic cigarette on May 06, 2009. That same day I smoked 2 more regular cigarettes. May 7th I smoked 4 total. Today (May 8th) I have smoked 2 regular cigarettes. I believe in 1 or more day I will smoke none. I have about 6 regular cigarettes left and have vowed to purchase no more.
In only 2 1/2 days I have already started to breathe easier and feel much better with much more energy. My smokers cough has deminished to almost no cough at all.
I initially had serious doubt about the e-cig, I am now a firm believer. I have STOPPED SMOKING!
This device is AWESOME!

sweet action muldrick! i did the same thing. after i got my e-cig i just refused to buy more cigarettes. so when my pack was finished, that was it! also am now repulsed by the smell/taste of them.

Good for you!

I have smoked for 40 years. Last November 2008 I saw my brother-in-law die of lung cancer (he had smoked, stopped for 15 years, then restarted one year before his death). He was 57 (I am 53, soon 54).

Even his death did not stop me from smoking. I did 'cut down'. I was prescribed that pill, but it gave me bad side effects. I chewed gum, but I only smoked while chewing.

These electronic cigarettes have been a God-send. A pack of 'analogs' (to use the word for 'real cigarettes' here; it took me several days to figure out why people here called them analogs) now last a week. Indeed, even while drinking booze I find myself putting out the analog half way through. I have not 'completely quit', but I am easily down to 2 per day.

I esmoke: Npro Njoys (my 'casual' smoke); DSE 810 (for more intense smoking) and Red Dragon (when drinking, only the biggest smoke will do).

What's a red dragon?

Roars of fire, repressed for years and comes out of my trachea in vapor form?

i smoked for years 3days ago i got my e-pipe only 4 cig since have alot to learn but for 1st time hop

I got my e-cig 5/7, and started using it just yesterday, 5/8. I've smoked three and a half cigarettes since then. This is having my cake and eating it, too. **** the FDA and WHO saying this isn't an effective quitting device. I tried every single product available over the counter, and even the pill, and nothing worked... until now.

 

[Boom!]

I can't wait to get my starter kit!!!

Ordered from JantyUSA on 05/05 and it is still 'processing'.

I really enjoy reading all of these success stories from people who have quit or dramatically cut down their habit.

Congrats Muldrick,

Just keep on working it. Once you are off analogs for a few days, smoking one will taste like sh*t and remind you why you don't wanna smoke them anymore.

I have been cig free for 1 month and 22 days. I only vap now. this is the longest I have not smoked since I was in 7th grade. I am forty now. i was smoking a pack a day. I feel better and smell so much better. I have made a vow not to smoke a cig ever again. I refuse to do somthing that I have to pay for with to much taxes and no rights to smoke anywhere. I also feel that vaping is better for me. Is vaping safe I do not know for sure, but it is safer than smoking. Of the FDA bans this I will still do it. thank god for the web( you can get anything you need)

Heh- another close to 40 year smoker here now off and vaping and feeling better. I think the only reason they might ban the things is to keep up the tax revenue from analogs- which is fricking ridiculous- I remember when I started analogs were a quarter a pack. Let's see... the price has increased 24 fold?

I was so sick of the excessive "sin" tax on analogs; here in Ohio Cuyahoga county added a 30 cent a pack tax to support art museums. Museums I couldn't smoke in, to boot.

I think I'll hold a vape-in at the local museum ;-)
