My story

[air1]

I've smoked for 30 years (yikes). I've tried the patches, gum, and drugs. The drugs helped (before chantex), but only for 3 days. Anyways, I gave up, nothing would get me off of these. Then I see a guy with a ecig at a gas station. He loved it. So google is my friend. I find this forum, do some reading, then decide that I wanted to buy locally. Not many options. But did buy 1 battery (all they had) a charger, and a 5 pack of cartomizers from smoke stik. This was all 3 days ago. I used to smoke a pack + a day. Since then I'm down to 8-10 smokes a day without even trying, I just love vaping. I could just vape, but only 1 battery is NOT enough. Also I looked at juice because $17 for 5 carts at 2 per day is expensive, as luck would have it Nikhil lives a few miles from my work.

What a great guy. And he has the most wonderful flavors. If you are new as I am, and haven't tried the flavors, you really owe it to yourself. It is unbelievable how great they are.

Thats all for now. Vape on!!!

Welcome to ECF and vaping ! Give youself a little more time and more equipment and you'll be smoke free if that's what you wish to do.

Nikhil(Purevapes)does have awesome flavors. IMO the Honeydew is far and away the best available.
Welcome to ECF,you are down to 8-10 analogs now,and in no time you will be completely off them

Welcome to ECF and congratulations air1?
You sound like countless others, including myself. Discovering vaping and THIS site changed my life. P E R I O D...
I quit a 40 year smoking habit on vape day 2 and haven't looked back. Sure, I've had those days when that "urge" would hit more than other days, but good solid vaping for a few took care of that.
I started out at 36mg nicotine with no problems at all and now I'm anywhere from 24-36mg.
My #1 Priority was and is to not smoke. I will cut back on nicotine when it happens.
Also, when I went from a single 3.7v PV to a Variable Voltage PV really changed the experience. That particular PV (Buzz) cost me $100 and to me it's worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.


Good luck and check in to ECF daily.

Congratulations on such a major cut back!

I also started with one batt and a 5-pack of refills. That helped me cut back, but within a week I had my first starter kit. I ran out of analogs on March 1st and haven't had one since. I relied heavily on the NJoy I got from a 7-11. The next day I got my kit and haven't missed the smoke. This place may have saved our lives. I found, like many, that I vape heavier than I smoked, but I've been assured this is normal when starting out.

Keep vaping, I've found it only gets easier!

Welcome & congrats! We are smoke free for over a month now - and loving our e-cigs a lot!!

 

[gigipark]

Congratulations! I'm new too vaping too. Got a starter kit and went from 1/2 - 1 pack a day to 3 analog cigarettes the first day and just 2 today. I'm sure it wont be long before you and I are both analog free!!!!!!! I have to say - I already prefer vaping to smoking. I think I'm still psychologically addicted to analogs, but I already know this will be easy! Yay us!

Welcome to Ecf,and the vast knowlege here..Keep up the good work!!

I love the people in here. I actually feel that I missed out of the last couple of years. I had no idea that I could be vaping instead, I really think that I enjoy it more. I just know that my 1 battery just isn't enough. So I need another, and will probably be ordering an eGo kit to boot. I might have to think about a var volt PV. PM me recomendations from personal opinions. So for the next week or so I'll just switching them around. I really love vaping though.

I also love the support from everybody, and there is a TON of information in here. I'm very excited. Also a BIG congrats to all the vapors on here. And thanks for all the confidence, tips, etc. The honeydew, I'm all in for that.

Yea, we can do it!!!

Oh I almost forgot to mention how much I enjoy stealth vaping. I think that the movie theatre would be pretty neat to try out.

It was also pretty cool to go into Incredible Dave's and vape right there.

I know that this is probably old school for some of you, but it's just so different from being so secluded/excluded because if thosse damn analogs.

My wife's pretty proud too, and when I stealth vape somewhere, she's like "I don't know why anybody would ever have a problem with it" So she encourages me. LOL I love it.

Congratulations Vaping is awesome!

 

[dinky]

way to go. ur on ur way. im new to vaping too. it does seem strange to be able to vape practically anywhere u want. i stealth less and less. gives me the opening to talk to others about what the heck this thing is. lol its kinda fun.....hehe

 

[cheechwiz]
