New guy... Love vaping. Converting smokers to this.

[Mrrochi]

You can't convert someone who's not ready. I was dual using for a while, until I finally got sick of it! It was a concious decision that I was done and a good setup which is all it took. My wife is not there yet. Congratulations!!

I bought lots of batteries, tanks, nicotine, and lots of flavors for juices, I'm always charging batteries!
I have 9 batteries, & 1mod. I quit 48 days ago and I'll never go back!
This forum is so great, such helpful people, I'm so glad I have this site!
Congrats on your milestone!

It took me 4 years to figure things out, I bought a analog looking thingy joined the ECF and didn't like the taste (tobacco) and it was just not as easy as it was 48 days ago.

I wasn't looking at quitting just slowing down, but I had a nephew who made a great juice (cinnamon red hot ) it tasted so much like candy I couldn't stand the taste of analogs anymore I had to put them down!

I figured out it had to be as easy as having a pack and lighter with me and once I had my stock I could stop!

Good luck to you, I hope your wife gets there soon, maybe buy her a few pretty special batteries most girlies like shiny's & pretties!

Hi, Dave, and congratulations on you choice to vape instead of smoke.

I'll testify to the quote "you can't convert someone who's not ready." I have a friend who tried to convert me for almost 3 years, and I resisted. However, in mid-March I found out that I was going to be retired in May, and shortly after that I decided that I would have to quit smoking analogs. So I called my friend up and started asking him all kinds of questions about vaping. He was so enthused about getting me converted that he even gave me a starter kit and some ejuice to get me started. He also gave me a link to his favorite vendor where he got the starter kit: myfreedomsmokes.com. So in mid-April I started vaping on a part time basis. Meanwhile, I had slowly stocked up on analogs, so I had 9-10 cartons stashed away to last me for a while into my retirement. But I was continuing to vape, so by about the 20th of June I was getting about 3-4 days on a pack of cigarettes. I opened my last pack on 6/22. When I got up on 6/26 I had one cigarette left in the pack. So after making my coffee I sat down to "enjoy" that last analog with it - sorta like a condemned man enjoying his last meal. But I didn't enjoy it! It made me cough (vaping doesn't) and it didn't even taste good, like a cigarette should.

I had gone to that site (above) as recommended and bought a couple more starter kits ($15 apiece) for backups. They consist of a 650mAh eGo-C battery with a CE4 clearomizer and a USB battery charger. I haven't found anything comparable at any other sites yet, so if you're interested I would definitely recommend MFS. I have branched out a little bit with the equipment, but not much. I'm totally happy with the set-up. Besides the 7 batteries sitting in front of me (6 with filled clearomizers) I have 5 more stashed away as backups. My friend told me that even the best batteries will eventually croak, so I stocked up. I'm a DIYer in the flavoring department, so I have about 40 30ml bottles ready to fulfill whatever flavor whim I have that day. I also have about a dozen 15ml bottles with my experiments. Now instead of smelling of ashtrays and cigarette butts, my apartment smells more like a donut shop or a bakery. (I can actually smell again!)

Sorry to get so long winded, but discovering something wonderful does sorta do that, eh?

There are two smokers in my office that have decided to try vaping to quit smoking.
