Welcome! Glad to hear you want to start
vaping.
I agree that cold turkey, gum, and patches have low success rates, and I was to afraid to take chantex...heard too many stories.
I've always though that smoking was more than just the cigarettes, but a habit for your hands. Thats a big reason
vaping worked for me. Still got to go out on "smoke breaks", had the hand-to-mouth motion like smoking, and no nic headache, since liquids have nic in them, but no ash, tar, and chemicals. And say goodbye to the smell...haha.
I'd try go for a
vape pen starter kit, like the Kanger eVod kit. Has everything you need, except the liquid. Check it out. I think you'll like it.
