My introduction and a hello

[SnTx4]

Trying my best to make a change for my wife and myself. At 37 and constant respiratory issues my wife went to doctor, his exact words after x-rays was, your lungs are the worst I've seen in a patient your age. Fast forward 2.5yrs and still smoking. Fact is, I like smoking but, realize she must stop and therefor I should set the example. So I decided last Sat I was done smoking, picked up a cheap unit from the store and haven't looked back. I must say, sure wish I'd jumped on board 2.5yrs ago. I don't miss the cigs at all! Apparently I've made vaping look good, my wife has decided she will be joining me and give up smokes. Fingers crossed that she enjoys vaping as much as I have this past week. Anyway, that's a tad about me. Hello to all and have a great weekend.

Nothing better then giving up smoking and getting your wife to do the same thing .
There will be times you may wish to smoke hold off for one week then go for it you will find you don't like them at all lol
There nasty and don't tast good any more .
Best wishes and good luck .

Hi Travis and Travis' wife! My boyfriend decided to try vaping. His kit came with 2 of everything, so after a week, and growing tired of answering my questions, he suggested I go buy some menthol liquid (former menthol smoker) and use his back up battery to see what I thought of it. I loved smoking, too. I had ZERO intention of quitting, was quite surprised that he bought an ecig at all! He started vaping on July 1 and has not touched a cigarette since. I tried it out and cut down from 1-1/2 packs a day to about 5 cigs a day. Within 30 days I was completely off cigs. Still am I used menthol liquid (24 mg & 18mg) for about 3 weeks to a month, but grew tired of it, so ventured into other flavors. Occasionally I vape a mild tobacco. My everyday flavors are more the creamy or bakery type and I'm now at 12mg.

Congrats to you, and best wishes to both of you. I hope she becomes pleasantly surprised! I'm sure you'll both be very happy with your new journey.

Welcome to ECF, and hopefully your wife keeps with the vaping. I wanted to quit smoking cigarettes because my son used to love being outside with me. And most of the time id have a smoke, so I wanted to change that and keep him away from any second hand smoke that he would take in. So I turned to vaping. And been off cigs ever since.

 

[SnTx4]

Thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement.

 

[freeatlast!]

Best of luck, you two!! I sure hope it works as well for you as it has for many of us on this forum. Many of us loved our cigarettes but vaping got us off them with relative ease, and we are healthier for it. Keep us posted!

I'm sold, no reason to go back now. Already breathing so much better and my nice cough is slowly fading away. Wife still hasn't made the change, although she has cut way back on the analogs. Got some juice from Mt Bakers Vapor today and she really liked 2 of them and vaped all evening w/ me.

Hello and Welcome to ECF Keep on Vaping

 

[Buffyisabean]

I hope she's able to quit (I think she will) it's amazing how our bodies are able to heal themselves.

Travis,
You have made the first major step, and it sounds like your better half is going to do the same.
Do not know if you two will need crossed fingers...
once you vape, the past is history......
The cig craving will drop away, just give it time......
It can be done.

Congrats and welcome, Travis. Hope your wife continues to join your vaping experience. I also liked smoking, just didn't like the consequences. Thanks to advice from a friend and finding ECF, my vape experience has been great. Been tobacco free for 46 days and have been relatively crave free. ECF is a great resource with lots of experience and the folks here are friendly and supportive. Enjoy !

I'm glad you're enjoying, and that you let us know how you're doing, too! Part of my not jumping right in was the fear of not smoking. I know that sounds crazy, but was very real at that time. I smoked for 30 years. That was real. And now, I don't have to

 

[CheetahAce]

Congratulations!

Last follow up here and I'll move on. Sun will be 3wks w/o an analog and I couldn't be happier. My better half is still smoking analogs and tinkering w/ vaping ,usually in the evenings. Can't force a change for her and that's ok, hoping she'll just keep seeing how much better I feel and how much I enjoy vaping. Also now that I can smell again, maybe she'll get tired of me pinching my nose and telling her she stinks!

 

[Mark Anthony]

Congrats and I hope she sticks with it too. It doesn't take long to start feeling better. Let us know if you need suggestion on juice... mods or whatever.
