Hi, all! I've been lurking for a little over a week, I just wanted to say hi and share my story. 
I heard about vaping through some friends who used it to quit smoking, I tried it once when we were out, it wasn't bad, lol, but I was still a smoker. Then, the company I worked for was bought out and our department was let go. Three weeks at home, and I found a new job. One that was 8 hours a day, and NO smoking on the premises, NO actual "lunch breaks". So, I told my husband I needed to look into the whole vaping thing more, b/c that was going to drive me crazy. We went to the local vaping store. The owner is awesome! He flat out said, he is not there to sell you products, but he is there to explain every one you have questions about. He showed us the free tasting juice bar, I picked out papa smurf and RY4. (you got a free bottle of juice with the purchase of a starter kit), he then took us over to the starter kits, ran through each one. I picked one out, he took it all apart, and made sure I understood how to use it, fill it, charge it, etc. And.... off we went.
That was Saturday afternoon. Afterwards, I smoked two cigs that day. On Sunday I had one in the morning, and two in the evening. Monday I had two in the morning, and one in the evening. Tuesday, I had two in the morning, Wednesday, I had one. Friday I left the pack of cigs at home, that I had been carrying around.I actually panicked b/c I only had one battery and what if something happened to it??? So, I started looking online, and decided to go back to the vaping store, I wasn't saving a ton of money, and I'd rather support local businesses. I ended up getting a two pack starter kit, and my husband (who smoked about a carton a month) has since decided to use my first one.
Since then, I had one hit off my husband's cig on Saturday night. I was not impressed, lol.
I smoked over a pack a day for over 20 years. I've tried half-heartedly to quit a few times. I didn't actually WANT to quit. I enjoy smoking. I only wanted to get through the 8 hours I wouldn't be able to. I've not had one craving. Plus, I'm amazed at how much I can smell. My sister is a non-smoker and has been on me for years to quit. I texted her last week and told her my purse STINKS! She laughed, and a couple days later, offered me her coach purse, as a treat. But if I started smoking again, I had to give it back.
Sorry this is so long. But, for others debating it for whatever reason, I thought it would be good to put this out there. I told my husband when we were talking about a co-worker of his who was questioning him about them - tell her I didn't even WANT to quit. And now, I don't even WANT to smoke. He said if that's not a testimony, then he doesn't know what is.
