My First Post

[exluvah]

Hello Everyone,
Being brand new to vaping I have been so happy to see all the information in this forum. It is so helpful when trying to quit smoking this way to have a built in community to go to help understand the basics of vaping. I bought my first starter vape pen about 3 weeks ago and immediately cut down from smoking 2 packs a day to 5-6 cigarettes a day. After about a week of both smoking and vaping I pretty much stopped, only having a handful of cigs in the last two weeks. I'm on my way and amazed at how painless it has been to quit this way. [I've quit so many times, going as far as 2-3 months white-knuckling it that it has to be painless for me or I won't succeed.] I am very grateful for all the work that everyone here has done to help me on my journey. I've been reading everything I can and with your help I will quit smoking forever.
Many thanks to each and every one of you!

Welcome to the forum exluvah and good luck with making the switch to vaping - took me about 4 weeks to completely ditch the cigarettes and a couple more to lose the cravings but it can be done

Hello Maytwin and thank you for replying with such a nice, warm welcome. I can't wait to be able to put a sign on my posts that says how many days I've been smoke free such as you have. I'll have to go look to see if there is a post on how to get one. On a personal note, my heart goes out to you and your country men/women for the recent atrocity in Paris.

Welcome and best of luck to you!

Just a heads up on forum terminology, what you see below this is your first post and what they are in is your first thread.
Some people new to forums misunderstand this and think you need to start five threads instead of just having five posts.

Well done @exluvah

It is often relatively easy with good kit. Sadly, much of what the public perceives as an e-cig is just a low dose, low satisfaction, money making product. But we know differently.

That's not to say all advanced hardware is necessarily good or even a fair price. There are vaping companies out there happy to charge $119.99 for a $30 e-cig - we know who they are, but again, the public do not.

So with tobacco companies 'at large' and rip-off brands taking over the internet with their shady recommendations and blatantly fake review sites, there are many pitfalls.

Vive la forums.

Vape on!

Hi exluvah and welcome to the forum, vaping has helped so many people get away from tobacco, me included, I'm sure I'd have failed miserably without a vape. Wish you success and enjoy yourself here on the forum

THANK YOU, D. Waterhouse, as that is a misconception that I 'did' have. I am new to "forums", as well, so everything right now is an experiment! Hehe. I appreciate your clarification.

Welcome @exluvah congrats on finding your way into the vaping world and discovering ECF!
When you're ready for your own banner just find someone elses banner that you like the appearance of and click (touch) on it. That should take you to a site to create your own banner and give you a link to place in your profile signature here. At least that's how I got mine.
