My first order arrived!

[Belletrist]

ahhhhh so so excited I wasn't *really* expecting it till tues and the stupid USPS never updated their tracking until i got an email saying it had arrived already!

first time vaping, first time using V4L...
vaping one of the clove carts--def much diff than a djarum but i LOVE it. so very very glad i chose y'all.

i love everything about it... the guys put in a set of cognac carts (really delicious, hubs is vaping one now!) and an XL silver batt as a freebie (awesome there cause i was gonna be stuck with the PT only since the rest is hub's b-day gift!)...

seriously it's fantastic, everything about it... SO SIMPLE. all i can say is wow. wow. WOW. i was so not trying to get my hopes up that it'd get here before xmas... thank you SO much guys!!!!!

just ...... i bought a carton of newports yesterday, lmao.

Glad you're liking it as we all do. Can you sell your cigs? You may want to wait to make sure you don't go buy more, lol. I smoked for 40years, quit the day I started vaping, and gave my cigs to my sister the same day. I haven't had 1 since.

 

[Pugzley]

Great to hear Belltrist! You can use that carton as a paperweight... or something.

 

[Belletrist]

i might sell 'em... i go up to NYC every few months. i'll even make a profit.

i'm sure i'm going to have to wait and see what the cravings are like but WOW, this is just... way better than i ever expected. && the clove 18mg cart has perfect throathit which i was really worried about with vaping in general... and tastes amazing! def not like a djarum (my fav) but very very nice!

 

[keyzygirl]

Im so glad you like it!!!!

 

[pianoguy]

Excellent - really glad to hear!

Sweet, It sounds like you just had a vapin orgasm. Take and deep breath and calm down. Yeah I follwed some of your posts and how you'd ordered and waiting and all. It's kind of cool that you hung out here before even getting started, pretty darn cool. Happy Vapin and Merry Christmas. Oh BTW you and the hubby will smootch better because you wont have ashtray mouth ++++++++++

 

[Belletrist]

davo thanks! omg i didn't even think about the oxoxoxo advantages, ahhaha. that's how long we've both been smoking, i guess. i run a really close support forum for (totally unrelated) other issues so i was beyond happy to see this place and how supportive you guys are of each other. makes a world of difference!

just had a very mild 'hour without a cig' craving, but didn't smoke--not out of will power but because i wanted to try the spiced cider cart, and i didn't want to overload on nic from an analog, lol! that would cut into my ability to taste test more carts today...

 

[Belletrist]

&& i should have said this FIRST but i'm sure you can all understand my excitement right now, thank you guys SO much for putting up with my newbie-waiting-for-first-order excitement and being patient with questions etc. etc. these past few days.

so now, hmm, am i ready for a V4L counter in my signature?? or is that jumping the gun?

I am not sure how much of my quitting has been to do with willpower or whether its just not having time to smoke as I am too busy with my new "hobby". A month in and i'd have a hard time convincing anyone that all this is for my consumption and that I'm not actually a supplier... I think I have gone a little nuts... Maybe... but hey.. I can get used to this being able to breathe thing...

Congrats, welcome to the family, Happy Hoilidays, and if you have issues there are a bunch of us here to help...

 

[Belletrist]

well, yanno, i don't think quitting smoking was every going to work via willpower for me... in fact when i was on wellbutrin it make smoking miserable and i had the 'willpower' to KEEP smoking even without enjoyment, lol. i'm totally cool with outsmarting my addiction to smoking instead of out... muscling it. and if that means lots of new toys... so much the better.

 

[Leeroy5150]

had the 'willpower' to KEEP smoking even without enjoyment, lol.

I had been on CHANTIX for several months and had gotten down to a couple a day but as soon as I got a little stressed, I starting chain smoking again trying to get the "buzz" that would never come. I have been off that stuff for a couple of weeks now and didn't realize how much it dulled my enjoyement of everything, not just smoking.

 

[Belletrist]

leeroy, that was me on wellbutrin exactly! actually wb was good for me in other ways, but with the smoking--i was down from a pack a day to maybe 3 or 4 but when i was anxious or overworked, i would like... force myself... to smoke more just in the hopes i'd calm down. even though it was very very unpleasant in every way. even if i was putting them out halfway through, i'd end up lighting another one. *rolls eyes at self*

 

[Taryn]

Woohooo!!! We all remember the excitement of waiting for your first ecig to arrive. I feel the same way now when I place an order waiting for my new flavors to come in.

Keep us updated on how well it's working for you and the hubby! You are already succeeding, every cigarette NOT smoked is a moment worth celebrating.

 

[Belletrist]

so far so fantastic. for me, anyways. for hubs... he's working to find a flavor, but loves the equipment. used my freebie XL batt first, loved, and now using the PT... *really* love. even practiced topping off a cart.

my little brother is coming in january to visit... he's anxious to try it. gosh, it's like the zeal of the converted, isn't it? i can't wait to give my friends a chance to try it, lol.

 

[Pugzley]

I was just handing out cards in the grocery store parking lot about a half hour ago. Poor people standing out there in the farthest corner in exile smoking their cigs.

 

[Belletrist]

gotta admit tho--it was a blessin in disguise that there was only 0 mg in the choc liquid available... because i do have to vape like, very frequently right now to avoid just automatically *thinking* about cigs. so i'm going to keep topping off one cart with 0 mg choc as a 'pacifier'... silly, maybe, but hey. i notice the lack of throat hit but i have an 18 mg cart handy too.

 

[Belletrist]

pugz, i'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to no more smoker's exile...

 

[Pugzley]

You're going to make it, Belletrist! We'll be with you all the way. I'm a fiend with this stuff, that's why I love being able to top off my cartos, I'd probably go through 20 a day if I couldn't refill, that passthrough really burns them up quick. I want to eat this stuff, some of it tastes so great, esp. the coffee types. And the peach cobbler ones, too.

 

[Belletrist]

i'm really really looking forward to trying the capp... i have the liquid but with no blank cartos available yet... well, i guess i'm just *forced* to vape a couple of the ones i have...
