Hi all, I was a 40 year smoker and became a vaper on 1/1/14 My hair stylist got me started after she started 1 year ago following some respiratory issues where she had to quit smoking and has had great success. She hooked me up with I think is a generic ego-c and some tobacco flavored juice, but I have already ordered online a double ego twist set up, and looking around for some other tobacco flavored juices to try. I know it has been only a few days with no smokes, but the last time I went this long without a smoke was 10 years ago when I had surgery. I am a nurse and think I will be recommending to many of my patients and smoking friends who like myself had no success with the other smoking cessation methods to try vaping.

Hi Nightengale212
Welcome to the ECF and congrats on your positive outlook on making the switch

Just a heads up, Try not to refer to vaping as a cessation device or cessation therapy. The anti vaping groups are foaming at the mouth to get it regulated as either tobacco (which it is not - but big tobacco does not want to lose any $$ to it) or as a smoking cessation device and have it regulated by big pharma (which also does not want to lose out on the $$ available by making it by prescription only) and the upper echelons of the medical fields definitely do not want people quitting smoking because then they will lose the 100s of billions of dollars they make from smoking related illnesses.

Best of luck on your road to switching from tobacco to less harmful vaping

and again welcome to the ECF

Welcome.
30 year smoker here.

Keep at it, and don't buy too much juice to start because your tastebuds are going to change.

You'll want some backups too; you don't want to find yourself having to pick up a pack of cigs because something isn't working right.

Hello and welcome! I was also a 40yr. smoker. I have been vaping instead of smoking for 2 weeks now. I started with 24mg nicotine juice and have now cut back to 12mg. Be sure to ask any questions you might have.
