New member here...tomorrow will be one week just vaping!

[kjay]

This is my very first post. I have been reading other posts for a couple of weeks now. First of all I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here! I feel like a brand new person. I have tried alot of different things over the years to quit smoking and nothing ever worked. UNTIL NOW! I pretty much feel like this is a miracle! It is almost effortless. Getting use to vaping will take some time; I can see that. Finding the right strength nic and the right equipment...but once the "sweet spot" is found...ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Any hoo, I will be posting alot, this place is a great source of strength and hope. vape on!

Congrats and welcome to posting in ECF. You'll find your sweet spot, I almost have .

 

[frosting]

Doesn't it feel great! Welcome to ECF

Welcome to ECF. In over a year, I haven't found my sweet spot. I just like certain hardware and PV's for certain juices. If you find what makes you stay away from stinkies, stick to it because that's what matters.

Welcome Kjay, this is such an exciting journey your embarking on. I know you will do great, you found a great forum for the information and support you'll need. Welcome

Welcome kjay, and WTG! I'm just a few days in and I agree, it's amazing how seamless the transition has been. What a wonderful feeling, don't ya think?

Finding the "sweet spot" and favorite juices/atty/cartos is half the fun. It is a bit pricy to get started but many here have great suggestions on how to find your best vape reasonably as well.

Welcome to the absolutely loving, fun, supportive, crazy and positively healthy ECF! We're glad you found us.

Oh, almost forgot, you might want to check out these threads, both are very informative, and the second one is kinda fun, too

Heyas kjay,

Welcome to the ecf! And woot!

I smoked analogs for the first 5 or 6 weeks that I vaped. Didn't even really intend to quit smoking, just picked up an overpriced pos locally because I had a cold, and didn't want to end up with bronchitis for 2 months like I usually did when getting a cold and smoking through it. Found that I loved vaping, and just sort of organically tapered off the analogs until, the last 3 days of analogs, I'd only have 1, on the way to work in the morning to cure that morning nicotine craving, and just hated the way my mouth tasted like crap for hours afterwards. Easiest time I've ever had quitting!

Glad you found this place. Hopefully you'll love it as much as I do.

Welcome kjay! Much easier than you first thought wasn't it. Like yourself, I was able to lay down the analogs the first day of vaping after 42 years of killing myself. Congrats! BTW guys . . . even though I now live in Va. I was born in Maine and lived there for my first 37 years. Born in Portland.

 

[kjay]

Wow ...you guys are so great! Thank you so much for all the warm wishes and welcomes. I cannot tell you how much that means to me!

My non smoking friends would never understand the excitement I feel right now, my smoking friends are very curious about what im doing now...but only others like ECF members can really relate to me and this whole new world I discovered. I wish I discovered it sooner. I smoke for 25 years and always wished for a miracle...ecigs are close enough to that miracle for me! yay!

Thanks again

I've been at it 3 months now and can't tell you how it's changed my life. No more stink, smoke, butts, ashes, you don't even need a lighter. I can do it anywhere - my house, car or a stealth vape at my inlaws' house! There is a bit of a learning curve to it, but you'll get it. Best part is my health, oh and also all the money I've saved by not smoking analogs! I can place a supply order and be good to go two months. I currently have 4 batteries to make sure I always have a charged one, plus just placed an order for another wall charger in case mine gives out. Enjoy!

Good for you kjay

I've been vaping for 2 weeks now and love it. I was a 2 PAD smoker for 45 years.

According to the American Association of Public Health Physicians:
"A cigarette smoker can reduce his or her risk of future tobacco-related death by 98% or better by switching to a low risk smokeless tobacco product. He or she could cut that risk by 99.9% or better by switching to a nicotine-only delivery product like one of the pharmaceutical products or E-cigarettes. Experience suggests that E-cigarettes may be more acceptable to smokers than the currently available pharmaceutical alternatives. A smoker can secure almost all the health benefits of quitting if he or she transitions to an E-cigarette."
