Just wanted to say hello. Been reading this thread since sept. n vaping since oct. finally stopped smoking analogs after a longtime (over 20 yrs). It has only been eight days but I know this time (3rd time) it will be the last. I never liked the options for quitting meds patches or gum. Now vaping is a great tool for me. I love this thread n I thank you all for the good info you given me. I vape w a provari mini n a kanger protank. Looking to get into it a bit more atty n building.

I am 5 weeks in and not looking back! I was a pack a day for 20 years too. I started out slow and finished the three packs of cigarettes I had kind of weaning myself off of them and they lasted over a week that way. Once I ran out I didn't buy anymore and I did have some urges for about the first week but after that I began to like vaping better. And now 5 weeks later I hate cigarettes. I have no desire to smoke whatsoever. I see ppl at work who just came in from smoking and I'm like OMG is that what I used to smell like? It is funny cuz I could always smell smoke on other ppl and myself and yeah it smelled like cigarettes but now there is like this extra little odor that I never smelled before and it is awful. I didn't understand before why nonsmokers where so repulsed by smokers. I got that smoke was the greatest smell but I was like get over it but now I smell that extra smell and I get it.

Congrats on the quiting! Six weeks now for me. within a week I noticed I can taste and smell again. Kind of a mixed blessing as I smell everything now, good and bad. Damn I used to stink! My wife and I quit together using a Kanger EVOD starter kit (sharing it). She is going to quit nic entirely, barley even vapes now. Me? Well, seems I like vaping and in my short time playing with this I think I have discovered a new hobby i think. Have vape-mail coming twice a month it seems (some juice and a few Smok Aro II clearos in the mail now).

Even with new stuff coming regularly, vaping is CHEAP compared to my former pack a day habit as long as I keep my gear purchasing down to practical stuff like a few spare batts and well, I am trying a variety of tanks.

Next shopping list is a purchase of a VV Kanger batt, spare charger for the battery and a couple of mini Protank 2 clearos from SunVapers so I can keep a few of my favorite tank cracking flavors all handy and ready to go.$40 dollars every couple of weeks is much cheaper than my former $50 a week carton of camels thats for sure.

I sure don't miss the filthy stink, morning lung cheeze and standing outside on my porch in the cold (or heat) to huff down a cancerstick.

I have even cut my nic levels down from ordering 24mg juice to 12 or 6mg juice now as I just dont crave like I used to. So many tasty flavors too try too!

So happy the hardware has improved so much since my first try 2 years ago with a crappy cig-a-like bought from a truckstop.

All we have to do now is keep the government from trashing personal vaping (whole new problem).

Welcome and happy, healthy vaping to you!
