New to the forum, this place is great!

[DJMemphisMike]

Hey everybody! Just joined the forum, wanted to say a little somthin' somthin'. First, i have found the information on this forum to be incredibly helpful. I have purchased a bunch of different ecigs over the years, but none good enough to replace the analog habit. I found this forum and did some research, came up with a local place to pick up an eGo-T and have been analog free for almost a month. I am definitely breathing better and ran a full mile at the gym for the first time ever yesterday. I can feel the difference in my chest already, and have less congestion in the morning. Anyone on the edge of deciding to quit smoking and start vaping, i say DO IT!!!!

Welcome to ECF and good for you . hopefully other beginners will see your post and get on the bandwagon .

hey mike!!!

couldnt agree more, not just the health benefits. a decent brand in the UK costs about as much as 100 analogues, so its not even much of a financial gamble.
i'd have gone through them in about 5 days.

now that ive found my feet after the initial outlay on hardware, my costs will drop by about 75%

factor into that my wife also converting and it should all make for a very nice holiday this summer.!!!!!

colkaz5 exactly the reason I'm quitting. Here a pack of a decent brand in my area is $13.65. And they are saying that's increasing soon by $2.

Great job stopping with cigarettes also and cool signature.

 

[colkaz5]

yeah, the increases here are phenomenal too.
they just hike up the tax and theres no comeback really. if you dont like it - give up. so i did!!!!
found myself buying cheaper and cheaper brands which tasted worse and worse, so stopped enjoying a smoke altogether in the end.

btw, if you want the signature just click on it and it'll redirect you.
just put in your info and put it in your settings.
when youve got enough posts!!!!

The $$$ savings is going to be huge. Cigarettes are not nearly that expensive here, "only" about $5 a pack, but still, i was smoking 1-2 packs a day. I am vaping about a mL a day, and bought an ego-T that suits me nicely. But doing the math, a $10-15 30mL bottle of fluid should last about 30 days...for good measure, we are going to double my consumption, so $30/month to vape. 30 days x 1 pack of cigarettes/day x $5/pack= $150 - $30 vaping costs = $120 MINIMUM SAVINGS per month, or $1440/year being very conservative. At 1.5ppd, which is probably closer to true but i dont want to admit it, those #s are $225/mo $2700/yr. After about a decade, $14,400-$27,000 you could buy a pretty nice vehicle for that!

I was wondering about the signature thing. I went to my profile to try to figure out how to add it, but couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the info.

 

[DJMemphisMike]

Sorry to be blowing up my own thread, but something else I have noticed, is my trips to the convenience store have almost completely stopped, so I am not buying a bag of lays and a 20 oz coke or energy drink, almost every day making my savings and diet that much better.

 

[colkaz5]

very true. you always get sucked into buying something else when youre there with a nice crisp note in your hand!!!
