Found the site today and have been doing a considerable amount of reading and there is a ton of information here. As a smoker of 17 years or so, I figured it's time to stop. In doing my research, I discovered "vaping" and discovered a brick and mortar store across town that carries Ego products. I'm going to try and swing by there after work and hopefully join the ranks of the ex-smokers very soon.

Anyways...great site, hope to learn a lot from the veterans here.

Welcome to ECF! You aren't too far away from me. I'm about an hour west of Indianapolis, IN. Welcome from a Hoosier!
Since you have a brick and mortar, especially one that has eGo's, you'll do fine. Let us know how you make out, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

 

[BadHabitBand]

Thanks for the welcome Kay. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.

Good luck mate, but you shouldn't need much of it. You are lucky to have a real shop nearby, very rare here, though some shops sell the pretty disappointing cigalikes, best avoided of course since you have decent stuff gear available easily.

good luck dude.
i smoked for around 24 years, ... free for 6 wks now, it has been easier than i expected.
not as cheap as i thought, i tend to get carried away with kit and flavours, but its been worth every single penny.

GL on your "Any way you want, that's the way you need it, any way you want it" and welcome to ECF.

Good luck mate, nearly 2 months for me. You won't regret it.

What, 20 a day? Your history is virtually identical to mine, lol. The last 6 weeks since I gave up the cancer sticks has just flown by, I just wish I had taken the leap earlier.

Hi neighbor and welcome! I live just across the river in Jeffersonville. I'm pretty new to vaping myself. Friday will be three months smoke-free for me. From my first vape I enjoyed it so much more than smoking. Hope you have the same experience.
Let us know what you think of the local shop; and keep us updated on your progress. Best of luck to you!

Welcome to ECF and good luck. Been there many times. I am a Vaping blue grass banjo player. Good luck.

well, about 20/25 a day.

Thanks again to all.

I went by the shop after work and picked up the starter kit which included a pair of Ego 650mah batteries (labeled as MAXX?), usb charger, bottle of fluid, etc.

I upgraded to the Cyclone cartomizers, not exactly sure of the benefit, but here's what they look like...

Also picked up a couple spare bottles of fluid as well.

I've hit it a few times today, and haven't had a smoke yet. I'm hoping for the best.

With this one I smoke at work! They are not so expensive, when I broke some.

Thanks for the invite. I'm all too familiar with Bungalow Joes. Not sure what all I have on tap for Saturday, but if I get free, I will try to stop by.

 

[BadHabitBand]

Over a full day analog free. Can't remember the last time I went this long without smoking.
