I've been a ~ 2 pack a day smoker for 33 years. For over a year I've been dating a nonsmoker, I brush my teeth before I see her, and don't smoke (nicorette, till I found e-cigs) while we're together. So I've been living part time as a non-smoker, and chain smoking the rest of the time.

I was having coffee with a friend a couple of weeks ago and he kept smugly hitting off this vapor thingy he had ( PS 901/V2). Finally I had enough and we had to move outside so I could have a smoke too.

I ordered an Ace starter kit from PS, a couple of flavors and strengths. It showed up to weeks ago today. By the next day I was vaping my brains out and wasn't even interested in an analog. That night I ordered 2 more bats some blanks and some juice.

Saturday I ordered a V1.1, after spending the day reading all the post on the forum, hitting on my Ace, I ordered an old style 901 adapter for the V1, mostly so I could use the carts off the Ace.

Then last Saturday I ordered some 901 and 4075 attys and more juice. Figure I have all the variables covered, now I'm just figuring out what works for me. I had a $90 a week tobacco habit, the money I'm saving on smokes is funding my new pastime.

I like the Ace for driving and work. The Protege is great for at home. Popped a couple of attys so I'm not a virgin,

I'm still doing 5 or so analogs a day, think I need to up the juice strength, but I'm not smoking 40 butts a day anymore, so I'm not .....ing. My girlfriend thinks it's great that I'm not killing my self sucking on burning leaves and paper, and it's nice to have a vape after dinner, or what ever, and I'm not having to brushing my teeth every time I get a nicotine fix.

I've learned a lot already here on the forum , so thanks !!!!!!!


Pigs must be flying, I've only had 3 cigarettes today, go figure !​

Well congrats on the switch! I smoked a few analogs a day for the first couple of days of vaping too, until I got some 36mg juice that I actually liked (started on some 18mg capuccino, blech) Once that happened I havent had/wanted an analog since. And welcome to the forum!!!!

This is day 5 of vaping for me with a Joye 510 (Tornado in the mail today!).

I stopped the tobacco on day one and have barely even had an urge for one. I smoked about 14 a day (cut down over the years from 1.5 packs) and am using 24mg nicotine. If anything I think I am getting a tad too much nicotine at that rate...I get a little tightness in the jaw like I'm doing speed or something at times.

You might want to try some of TastyVapor's juice. You can get it at 48mg nic. and use their doubler (same juice with no nicotine at reduced price) to cut it to the level you want. Maybe try 32mg or so? I am vaping quite a bit more than I smoked, so I had to trim it down a bit more than I first thought.
