How's it going folks...
I'm a 33 year old guy from Long Island New York and I've been smoking between 1-2 packs a day since I'm 13.
Last Christmas my sister had gotten me one of those Kanger 510 style starter kits and kind of introduced me to vaping. Since then I had been using it here and there (especially if I was low on regular cigs) but I wasn't really into any of the flavors I had found and I could kinda take it or leave it..
About a week ago I ran out of cigs and went to vape and noticed it had a pretty horrible taste to it. It had been sitting a while and I didn't even remember how long it had been since I changed the coil so I figured I'd go to the local vape shop, replace it, and see if maybe I could find a juice I liked more then the peanut butter and jelly one I was using. When I got to the shop there were a couple of guys vaping on different devices and the clouds they were blowing out were huge and smelled really good. I talked to the guy behind the counter and after I told him that I had tried maybe 2 dozen different juices or so but really haven't found any that I thought were better then passable, he told me that he thought the reason I was having such an issue was a combination between the device I was using and the nicotine strength of the juices I was buying. Up until that point I had only used the Kanger with 18mg juices. He brought out a RDA unit (first time I'd ever seen one) and dripped a 6mg rocket pop flavored juice on it and had me try it. I thought it was amazing. According to him, If I was using a different device that could deliver (much) more smoke, better flavor, and just an all around better vape it would enable me to use a lower mg nicotine because I'd be getting more per vape. I wasn't really trying to quit smoking completely but I figured if I could cut down some it wouldn't be bad.
Anyway, after talking back and forth with him for like an hour and a half I ended up getting a new unit.. He definitely like sold the hell outta me but it was ok, I googled what he was suggesting while I was there and he was definitely giving me good prices and none of the reviews looked bad so I just went with it. I ended up getting an IPV 400, a Smok TFV8, and a 6mg Dragonfruit & Black Cherry juice. I Love It. It tastes great and just does everything it's supposed to do very well.
I apologize, I didn't mean for the length of this to be as long as it is already but now that you've got the background info my question is this: In your experience do you guys think a 6mg nic juice is really going to be enough to help me completely get off regular cigs? That wasn't even my intent in the beginning but now that I have a juice I can vape all day and enjoy and a device that really works well for me I can understand why people like it so much and are able to. I find myself going like 2 or 3 hours vaping and not even thinking about cigs in the meantime but I haven't committed myself to actually trying to stop yet. I think the vaping will help a lot and it definitely tastes better with the lower nic but I don't want to make it much more difficult for myself then it needs to be either...
What do you guys think?
