My First Couple of Weeks Vaping

[Wanderglobe]

A few weeks back I was in Montreal visiting a friend and he bought me a gift, a V3 Ego Spinner starter kit. I'd been curious about vaping but had never tried it before. I fire it up and took a hit and wow...it felt just like smoking. I've been smoking 30 years and have tried everything from patches to gum to even some nasty pharmaceuticals and nothing really worked...or should I say...my willpower sucked. Anyway, I flew home on a Sunday night and on the way to the house from the airport I bought a 20 pack of ciggies. It took me 9 days to finish that pack of smokes. So I've replaced my addiction with a less harmful one that I can do inside without stanking up the house. A real bonus here in Winnipeg with our nasty winters. Finding juices has been a bit of an issue but I met a decent guy who is trying to make a go of setting up a business so I buy from him. His tobacco flavors were a bit too sweet for me but it's all trial and error. I have some new juices ordered online and I'm looking into all the ins and outs of vaping.

Needless to say, I'm really pleased. I even posted a Facebook update on the vaping and had some friend PM me for more info. There are two guys in my office interested in it. Same stories all around. Tried everything, could never quit. Health Canada doesn't make it any easier by telling people that it's no cure and they should still try traditional means to quit smoking. You know, the tradition means that include failure and secure tobacco related tax dollars for the government. Anyway, won't get started on that.

So, another success story when it comes to drastically reducing cigarettes. I went from 20 a day to 2 a day overnight. Now I'm at one every couple of days.

Congrats. I can tell you too, I was very skeptical when I started gaping that it could replace cigs. Then I got a practice hit and it coughed me out, I was surprised that vapor could do that. After that hit I remained positive, and only a few weeks later real cigs smell bad and tasted worse. If you can find a flavour you like, cigarettes will get worse and worse. The hardest part is the first few days as you recover from all the additives, after that it is smooth sailing.

Congrats and welcome to the club Wanderglobe

The great thing about vaping is that it can become a hobby, with all the different hardware and juices out there to try

Sounds like you got the same exact kit I got. Vaporus on St. Denis Street right? I love this kit. Smoked for 33 years, and haven't looked back! Congrats!

Yup, same kit as you from St. Denis St. Real nice bunch of guys there. I've tried mostly tobacco flavours so far, couple of cigarette ones and a cigar one. Not too bad but on a whim I bought the creamsicle flavour this past weekend and am having fun with that. Not all the time but on occasion.

How do you keep track of what's in where though. I have a bunch of cartomizers with juices and don't know which is which now. I need to come up with a colour scheme or something.

Anyway, I went from the occasional smoke to none. On day 5 now whereas before I was only having one or two a day. It's great on these cold nights to not have to run to the garage for my fix.

Congratulations! It took me more than a year of vaping to finally ditch cigarettes for good. I still accidentally add the wrong flavour to a cartridge or tank and sometimes it makes for a tasty combination I otherwise wouldn't have tried!
