My first 4 weeks of vaping . . .

[jillhumb]

Well, I've hit the 4 week mark, and here are my thoughts so far, keeping in mind that i'm not completely done with analogs yet, but have cut down from almost 3 packs a day to about 1 pack a day:

• So glad I bought an eGo for my first PV - great battery life and throat hit
• Didn't realize how much i'd love the different flavors, for different times of the day
• Carts really do suck . . . I'm a huge fan of my ego mega carto from FSUSA (now that i know how to fill it correctly . .lol)
• Even tho i still am using analogs, have developed a dry cough, happens about 3-4 times a day - and really racks my body - i'm learning to stay hydrated - i'm also having some "productive" coughs - hackin up junk that was sittin in my lungs . .
• I can see how this can definitely become a "hobby", along with hobby expenses, so i am trying to be careful, as one of my reasons to quit smoking was the cost! It is easy to get carried away!
• This is one of the best places for info, and advice

Each day i learn a little more, and feel a whole lot stronger about putting away the analogs for good . . .

You're doing great, jill! The cough will more than likely go away once you put down the cigarettes completely, but don't put any pressure on yourself to do so. Cutting down from 3 packs to only ONE pack is miraculous in and of itself!

Congratulations! Sounds like you're doing excellent!

Yep, i'm even amazed at my progress - still haven't hit my "sweet spot" yet I guess, but i'm not stressing about it.
Just ordered a sample pack from Annette at VV, looking forward to getting those, and moving closer to my goal!
Thanks for the support!

It is all a learning process. From Pv's to juice, to atty's and carts. A hobby is a great description of the vaping adventure!!

@nerak I love the look of the PV on the right in your avatar~!~ that is all

@op Congratz on cutting back so much!! Keep goin. I only started vaping a couple of weeks ago. Was a pack to a pack and a half a day smoker. Since the very first day I have gone analog free. After 14 years of smoking I can't believe how easy it was for me. I have started with the DIY mixing already and me not being too picky on flavors helps in that I think. I have already got my cost down so much that I have saved $200 already! That is myself and my wife.

While I can get by with the basics, I still want to splurge and try everything!

Welcome and congrats on the reduction of smokes! Yeah just wait until you find the right juice and you will forget to smoke! If you like tobacco flavors they Vapor Stations sample pack and get TN,Tampa,Frisco,TX and RY4 and VS4 you cover a lot of flavor types in that.
