New to ECF

[Pebbs]

My husband and I have been smokers for 40+ years and have tried every method out there to aid the attempt to quit. In my area, the ecigs which were available , was less then satisfying. This experience showed me this could work, but I needed something with a little more kick to it.

I went online and picked out the ego brand. I have since upgraded to the ego cc which I like because of the no leak tank and the thinner mouth piece. Picking out the e juice was fairly easy as I was a menthol smoker. Husbands juice was a hit and miss, in order to find the kind he liked.

We both have been cigarette free since May 1st 2013. The longest smoke free periods was 3 months,but in those three months daily mourning over cigarettes. I truly believe we have kicked the cigarette habit.

I no longer have the morning cough, blood pressure is much better and my house smells so much better. Our savings in cash is only second to the saving to our lives.

Thank you Deeco.....my doctor has been begging me for years to quit. I am so pumped about ecigs.

Thanks for the welcome !

Frenchfry.....if I can do it...anyone can! I was a pretty hard core smoker.We used nicorette lozenges along with our ecigs for the first month. It helped us get over the hump. Currently we just have the 16mg ejuice and we are content with it.

I love not having to panic at the airport and 6 hr flight. I also had a 3 day stay at the hospital and didn't have to worry about dragging my IV bottle out side with me!( which I have done in the past)

WOW - congratulations and welcome to ECF. That's wonderful that both of you were able to stop smoking after such a long time. I smoked for 40 years as well and am only about 2 weeks into vaping. Wish I had known about it sooner. Your story is an inspiration!

hello and congrats.
us older folk are the ones that are going to be the ones that see the most benifit
that vaping has to offer as we are not young,fit,and healthy as when younger.
spread the word.
if you know any one taking medication that smokes tell them to switch to vaping.
make them a challenge.two weeks vaping no mater what.dont like the juice.
cant get the right hit,blah,blah.
if after two weeks they dont feel better go back to smokes.
hint:you'll win the bet.

regards
mike

Hi Pebbs....I smoked for 10 yrs sometimes up to 3 packs a day. My health was horrible...chest pains and coughing. Then about 5 yrs ago a friend asked me if I had heard about electronic cigs. I was like..."WHAT???"....I was very intrigued. Spent the next 2 weeks researching them. I ordered a rechargeable starter kit...the kind that looks like a cig and glows on each puff. That didn't work to well. Now I have a variable voltage mod called the VAMO with iClear 30 Tanks and I couldnt be happier. My health is much better and I feel great. I suggest you run a google search for 100% VG eliquid. I have allergies to PG liquid which causes skin rashes. So as a result Ionly vape 100% VG liquids. Hope that helps. Welcome to Vaping.
