Hello all,
Quit dipping. Skoal. almost a can a day.
Have tried before, lasted a little while doing cold turkey, white knuckle method.

Around the end of October, got a cheap e cig kit from a local store.
Flavor was terrible, leaked, etc.
But it did reduce my tobacco consumption.


Went to the other local e-cig store, got the full training on quality equipment by an experienced salesperson, and it has
been fantastic ever since.
I bought the Kanger emow mega on attempt #2.
Bought a Kanger aerotank2 for another flavor.
Bought it 12/10 and have not picked up the dip since.

I buy the juice at the shop.
tried to order online, but have a paypal debit mastercard, and paypal does not allow the purchase of e-cigs or juice??
Yet, in person, at the shop, it works.
Cannot figure that one out.

I started at 24 mg.
Down to 18 now, and will drop to 12 on my next batch I purchase.

Thanks,
Robert

Welcome to ECF! Grats on quitting, Along with smoking 2-3 packs a day of Marlboro Reds I chewed 2-3 bags of Red Man a week. I been smoke/chew free over 580 days. It's not easy, but if I can do it so can you

Thank you for the welcome wishes and congrats. I feel so good to be rid of that wad of crap in my mouth.

I will admit to getting very frustrated with the cheapie kit. Went back to that shop twice.
The juice they sold me tasted like Berry urinal mints!

Then, the second shop sold me the good gear, and still had issues.

I never smoked cigs, so i was drawing to hard, and too frequently.
Burning out coils too fast. i finally have 1 coil that lasted a week.

I learned to stand up my unit, rather than lay it down. Keep it topped up.
I am determined never to dip again.
Robert

Welcome aboard
Sounds like you have the right attitude to git-r-dun. Just keep backups for everything and you'll be fine.

Merry Tobacco free Christmas everybody!!
2 wks yesterday..
I hope you don't mind the update, but i have learned so much here, i have to share it..

It was good. Now that i got my gear dialed in, it is amazing!

I read the ask the veterans section about 40 pages, just over 1 yr back.
Figured out i was drawing too hard. never smoked, so didn't know.
Also read about the coil issues and burnt taste with the kangers.
Lowered my unit to 3.2 to 3.4, maybe 3.5 on the pipe blend flavor, and now it is amazing.
Thank you all
Robert

Also, figured out i went WAY too high on the nic level. Started at 24, got the peppery taste and other symptons.
dropped to 18, ow that feels like too much. will pick up some juice tomorrow.
trying to figure out if i need 12, or 9.
Sorry to keep bumping this, but i am thrilled
Robert
