I am not sure which title fits me best.

It was in early July of 2012, after 52 years of smoking 2 PAD of Camels that I just had to do something different.

I went to the mall and found a vender at a kiosk selling the Fifty-One brand of electronic cigs. I tried one with ry4 blend and quite liked it. As it turned out the price was pretty steep considering online prices, but it got me started. I smoked my last analog on July of 2012. I joined ecf in Aug of 2012, and for the next 2 years found what I needed just by reading the posts in here.

On May 5 this year I decided to stop altogether and threw away everything I had acquired over the last 2 years. Batteries, chargers, juice, tanks, everything gone....for 5 months and I could stand it no more. I picked up a kit at the corner market and some juice and 2 weeks later my lungs feel like they did after all those years of smoking.

I have decided DIY is the answer and I now vape a 50/50 PG/VG blend with no nic and no flavor and it seems to satisfy the craving just fine.

Sorry to have lurked for so long but with the others asking my questions I did not need to. Thanks to all for that.

to ecf davec48. So glad you are here. Make yourself at home. Congrats on the being smokefree. Isn't it wonderful. I honestly think I am more addicted to vaping than I ever was to the 40 some years of smoking I did. I just love it. Hope to see you around and hope you will post more often. There are such wonderful people around here. Have fun.

Congrats on quitting smoking after all those years Dave. It was 37 years for me and even with vaping it was a rough ride. Welcome and make yourself at home

Now this is a cool thing!
I have wondered about this. I thought about the fact that eventually I will want to just give them all up.or slow down, or what ever... I forgot that almost all the flavors are offered in zero nicotine and that the craving would be pacified.
I am proud of you Dave for not buying a pack of smokes, but rather getting back into the electronic scene.
Especially when the regular cigs are found easier. I am very proud of you!!!
(((hugs)))
