My First Month.

[MrsPressley]

Today I have been vaping for a month and 1 day, with not a single cigarette smoked since the day I decided to start. I have noticed quite a few changes - no yellow nails/fingers, pearly white teeth, my breathing has gotten a lot better, no more horrible upper respiratory infections and I'm not coughing in the morning anymore. I started noticing these changes around week two of vaping. I am a runner and notice I can go around 3-5 miles without huffing and puffing and stopping to catch my breath - finally ! My doctor says within the year to eighteen months my lungs will be back to normal and it will be as if I never smoked a day in my life. I wasn't a long term smoker, I smoked around three years but I began to smoke very heavily around the last four months and knew my habit was starting to take over. I'm saving a ton of money too, I am stocked up on flavors, tips, and batteries so I sometimes spend $8-$12 a week instead of $200-$250.

What are you starting to notice about your health or life now that you are vaping instead of smoking ?

That Sums it up, give or take a few. The money not spent on stink sticks usually goes towards new gear when I feel necessary Lol. Otherwise the fact that I smell like a dream rather then a horrible nightmare, teeth whitening , breath smells better, Better lung capacity and the best one yet. Chicks, they dig a dude vaping a whole lots more than a guy with cancer inbetween his fingers!

I love hearing these stories. congratulations on quitting the stinkies. I noticed the weezing in my chest went away after a few weeks. It wasn't bad, but I decided to quit very soon after I started to notice it. Smoked for about 28 years, and like you, haven't smoked since I bought my first e-cig.

Hey! You are awesome!

Other than that bad burrito I had the other night, I've been stink-free going on about 2 weeks now. Never really had a smoker's cough but I can breath again without wheezing.

Mrs. Kodiak "puts out" a lot more now. (I can barely keep up the little lady! )

I'm 4 days behind you! Well done!

Congrats on the quit. That's fantastic! It's amazing how quickly the time flies, I'm well on my way to a month too! Sounds like you made the right decision.

I've noticed pretty much the same things as you. The only difference between us is that I'm much warmer since I started vaping. No more cracking the window on those -25 degree days, no more huddling in my truck on smoke breaks to keep from the cold and no more tempting frost bite as I flick the ash out the front door of the house. It's nice to be warm...mmmhmmm.

Good luck on the rest of the journey and thanks for joining us!

My hair, breath, clothes, car, and home smell better! I most definitely breathe better and no longer wake up in the middle of the night coughing.

Congratulations! All of them sounds similar except for the running part! Only time I run is in between commercial breaks to grab something from the fridge or some juice! rare occasions chasing the mailman for vape mail!

Congrats! I am pretty excited about my upcoming 3 month mark!

Kudos on your one-month vaperversary, MrsPressley!

Congrats. The thing I noticed is no more hack and I can walk without being out of breath. Sense of smell is back also and feels nice to smell my lotion and shampoo instead of smoke.

I've been stinkie free for just over 7 months. I've never had the slightest urge for a stinkie since I made the switch. Clothes don't stink, breath doesn't stink, I don't have to go outside on the patio for a stinkie, no more hacking up a lung in the mornings and my checkbook is heavier.

This is my first post.

Congrats on the 1 month MrsPressley!!!

Here is to many more!!!!

Congratulations on your first month! I'm a little over a month myself, and loving it more every day.

Congratulations! I've noticed a great improvement in my breathing and my lungs don't fell heavy anymore! my inhaler is in my coat pocket and not beside me at all times anymore. In fact I can't remember the last time I used it! I use to need it day and night.

Congrats on your first month.... way to go!!! I've noticed quite a few changes.... better breathing... sense of taste returned along with my sense of smell. I'm about 139 days in now and couldn't be happier.

Congrats! I've noticed I can breathe better and I actually feel much better and have more energy! I also can taste things much better. Another thing, I picked up a regular cig one day just to see the difference and after 1 puff I bout puked. It tasted nasty. I use to love my Marlboro lights, but now they are just nasty tasting. Once you taste all the great tasting Vape juices you realize smoking is just gross tasting. I also realized you start out spending a ton of money on juices and new equipment, but once you get settled you will save a ton of money. I was spending over $400 a month on smoking cigs, but I got my hubby into vaping now too... Bought him an itaste VTR and he's vaping now too. He only likes peach tobacco from mbv but hey we like what we like. I started making my own juices too, which also saves money. I love vaping much more than smoking! I also noticed my house smells so much better!
