New to this. Good choice?

[PurpleThreat]

SO HELLO EVERYONE. You guys can call me purple. So i've been a smoker for 5 or 6 years I don't recall when I actually got into smoking. I'm actually still young at an age of 23 haha. I got into smoking because of the social aspect which then got me addicted I think. For some reason I decided that smoking was cool ( I was 17 and stupid) and then destroyed my lungs. I smoked almost 2 packs a day which...is alot for someone who only smoked as long as me. I was a hardcore swimmer and track&field runner. I was in national races for swimming and mostly state for track&field for high schoolers. But during the beginning of my senior year I started to smoke. Terrible choice. MY perfermance went down big time, and to top it all off I was kicked off the team because..well I SUCKED.

Well thats my story. I ordered E-cigs from smokeless image and have been using it for about 4-5 days and I feel much cleaner than smoking the regular analog cigs. I'm doing this to try to quit smoking in general and just get off nicotine. I haven't smoked an analog since I recieved my Starter kit from Smokelessimage. Question, Do you guys think its possible to get from 2 packs a day of analogs to 0mg nicotine? Just curious.

Now about my preference in ecigs. I'm still new and I don't know much but, I do love the 78mm batteries I got from Smokeless Image.
I got the menthol burst cartomizers and 2 nano clearomizers and a 30ml bottle of RY4 and 30ml bottle of Ice Menthol.

So yep. thats me. Tell me your story guys and tell me what you think about mine. Thanks averyone

Welcome Purple, one of my favorite colors. I am at the opposite from you - I smoked for 46 years and up to 1 1/2 packs a day when I started vaping.

I started at 18mg back in Nov with just the intention of vaping to cut down. However, I found that i actually enjoyed this more than smoking and so I just quit. I am now down to 12mg and just started switching to 10mg. Sorry to hear that smoking has already affected your life, but great that you have found and switched so young

I also started with RY4 and did like it for awhile. Lately my favorite has been peppermint and a mix of Green Apple and Cranberry. As you will find - your tastes do change and there are a lot of great flavors to try. I think you can definitely get to 0 nicotine, just don't try to push it too soon and end up back smoking.

Yeah definitely don't push it, most people are perfectly fine with doing Nic just from Ecigs. Good choice on the smokeless image products, its mainly what I use every day. I upgraded to an X2 Battery, and will be getting a spinner as well soon. They have good stuff and should do you just fine if you want to use it for a quit smoking get off nicotine aid. You can slowly crank the dosage down 2mg at a time generally every few weeks till you get to 0.

I started with Ry4 from them as well, but I quickly found wayyyy better flavors. Pipe Dream from PureVapes.com, and Boba's Bounty from Avejuice.com being my 2 favorites at them moment. Well besides Pluid, but trying to buy that is like trying to get the latest toy on christmas eve for your kids.

If you are like some of the rest of us and end up turning this into a hobby you also came to the right place. I'm loving the community here Any questions you ask you will always get a ton of helpful comments and suggestions.

Hey Purp!
I was about a pack ever two days guy, but on the other hand my buddy whos a marl red 2 pk a dayer , i got him to try ecigs since im 2months plus no analogs. I told em to buy a vivi nova tank,eGo C twist batt. And sum ejuice and i couldnt believe my eyes! He went from 2pks a day to 1or2 a week! Amazing things ecigs are for us right!
But i told him to get the hight millgrm at vapedudes which was 24 &still is i think? Ive seen up to 36mlgrm! Which is crazy high for nicotine in my opinion bc i usually go to 18-11milligrm. Just lower ur millgrm till u get to 0, hope this helps

I also started out with the Smokeless Image Volts. They got me off of cigarettes one week into vaping. I haven't had a cig since then, and haven't wanted one either. Vaping is much, much better. I've been able to cut my nic level from 24mg to 12mg, and I'm content to stay there.

If someone really wanted to get to 0mg nicotine, I'm sure they could. Even stop vaping if that is their goal.

For myself, vaping is a smoking alternative. I no longer consider myself a smoker. But I still have a perceived need for nicotine. Vaping is a much safer alternative to smoking.

Thanks for the feedback guys I really enjoy reading these comments, makes me feel special haha.
I really do like the taste of vaping and wondering about the 0mg eliquid. Are they really 0mg nicotine like 0.00000000% ?
Also I decided I would try to get back into swimming and Track and Field just to push my self harder. Raced with one of my bestest friends and did a 30 sec for 50m freestyle and a 5:48, 6:15, 5:55 for a 3 mile running race. Not my best but not too bad.

Cool. 0/ zero nic juice is only PG+ VG+ Flavoring.

 

[PurpleThreat]

Whats the difference between PG VG

 

[gomjabbar]

vaping is all the enjoyment of smoking and more. And hopefully without all the risk.

Hey purple...didn't read ur whole post there but this may help - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/378914-suggestions-newbies.html

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Whats the difference between PG VG

PG is Propylene Glycol Food Grade and VG is Vegetable Glycerin Food Grade...
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

Purple, welcome to the ECF! That's fantastic that you have already been able to make the switch. I smoked for 20 years and had the same experience. You should be able to get to 0 nicotine, but be careful how hard you push for that. I've known a couple of people who switched to vaping and worked down to 0mg in a couple of months. Both ended up picking up cigarettes again. It all depends on how addicted you are to nicotine or just the habit of smoking.
