Hows it going guys and gals... My name is john and im new to vaping...:oops:

I smoked analogs for around 11 years, started when i was 15 from peer pressure from a friend(26 now). I Stole them from my mom, and upgraded from stealing them from my mom, to paying homeless people to buy them for me. :2c: Until i grew facial hair hahahaha....

About 2 months ago my girlfriend suggested e cigarettes... I thought it was a great idea, because i always enjoyed the occasional flavored cigarette, Dreams, Strawberry and Vanilla. I can still get the flavor and nicotine, and kick the combustion...;)

So i went out and bought a starter pack of Blu Ecigs. While they worked okay, i was still smoking about a pack a week, maybe less maybe more, which was a huuuuuuge step for me being a little over a pack a day smoker. My main problem with the Blus was that they constantly died, meaning i had to recharge throughout the day, and the pack charger just wasnt a solid charge. I also kept on running into bad cartomizers, burnt flavor, atomizers that didnt heat up, and other problems that actually encouraged me to grab an analog, because you dont have to worry about an analog not working, right? On top of that their customer service is horrible. 2 bad cartomizers in a 5 pack and they say "sorry no refunds are available, but sign into our website to speak with customer service"... When i was already talking to customer service... WHAT?:blink:

So i dropped the blu's and i started googling, and i found this website, my savior- where all my knowledge on vaping came from. I weighed the options, better batteries and cartomizers, tank systems, variable voltage vs single voltage, provari vs innoken... And i decided i needed to step it up, to REALLY kick analogs in the :censored:

Everyone tried to steer me toward a Provari, but at 170$ vs 60$ for the itaste, my mind was made up. I ended up getting the Itaste MVP, after watching a few very in depth reviews and reading what feels like an encyclopedia of vaping info. I couldnt be happier about my purchase. Not only is it a good vaporizer, but it gets the feeling of a cigarette out from in between my fingers, like the blus were...

Its been 6 days since ive had an analog, and boy its hard, and sometimes i really do feel like lighting one up, but i have to resist the temptation....

Not only am i hoping this site can give me valuable information on vaping in general, i hope it can be a place to go when im feeling like i need to smoke.

Anyway, thank you for your time, and i look forward to being on this sight, and never picking up an analog again...:blush:

John..

Hi John, Welcome to the forum:) I am curious as to what nic mg you are using? If you are having nic fits still you may want to move up a bit . You could even get some higher mg liquid just for times when you are gritting your teeth. Lots of us had to play with the nic level a bit to figure out what worked best for us in the beginning. Good luck and happy vaping.

thanks everyone.... When i started blus i was using the highs, and it was good enough to get me to cut back massively.

When i got my vaporizer, i ended up getting a couple bottles of 12mg, and it worked but i was vaping more than usual.

Right now im using 18mg, from the sample packs that Johnson Creek Smoke Juice offers. I think its the perfect level for me right now. Maybe eventually when i figure out what im doing completely, ill learn to be able to take 24mg juice and cut it down to 14-15mg, becuase 18 seems a bit high, and 12 seems a bit low. It will work out in the end...

Right now im trying to figure out how to make a signature, but cant seem to find it.

I believe you can't create a signature until you've reached your 5 posts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

Edit: And once you reach your first 5 posts it'll be located under settings, where you did your avatar. =]

Wow, thanks everyone for the kind words of encouragement, and also congrats on everyone's successes.

I still haven't had an analog, and I even accidentally left my rig at home while I was at my girlfriends for the weekend. I had plenty of time to stop at any number of liquor stores, gas stations, grocery stores- but I didn't.

The biggest craving comes when I get in my car. It was always instinct to light a smoke right after put on my seatbelt. Now I just vape and crank my music and I forget about it.
