Hello folks. I recently moved to a new state and was fortunate enough to have a former co-worker and friend help me out as I'm not really supposed to be driving due to a medical issue. During the 14 hour trip up here I was smoking, just as I'd done for the last 18 years, and my friend was vaping on his SMY. We spent a lot of time talking about vaping and he ended up giving me a crash-course in vaping over 10 hours or so and by the time we arrived I was pretty determined to finally quit smoking.
Once we got the truck unloaded we went straight to the local B&M for him to get a quick coil rebuild and for me to get started. I ended up getting a simple EMOW starter kit and some Cuttwood and unlike my previous attempts to quit I found I wasn't even craving a cigarette.
My wife sure appreciated the change but after a week and a half I was finding that I was having issues with cravings while my single battery was charging so I went and bought a second one. That has worked well and I'm currently about a month out from my last cigarette. Since I bought my first kit I've been doing research in these forums and elsewhere for any and all information I could find about my new hobby and to be honest was completely overwhelmed for some time.
After 2 months of research I finally decided on a set up and placed my order yesterday. After all the time I have spent reading these forums I felt I should sign up and introduce myself in the hopes of continuing to learn and hopefully to give back to the community that has helped this smoker become an ex-smoker. I realize this post is long and I apologize it is the writer in me but as a way of saying thank you I wanted to explain where I'm coming from.

Enjoy the journey and the happy vapers here. You might want to wander on over to CASAA.org and read up on all the latest studies, stories and political stupidity going on. There IS a lot to learn.
