On new year's eve. A friend of mine shared an e-cig with me. I was a half-pack-day smoker at the time. I gave it a try, and really liked it. That night, I bought one. I vaped a little, and smoked a little that evening and New years day, until my pack ran out.

I didn't really plan on switching, but after my pack of cigarettes ran out, I didn't buy anymore, and have had no desire to evan have a cigarette since. But, I have been chain vaping, trying different setups and liquids. Eventually, I hope to settle down with a couple of flavors and moderate vaping (to not all day, lol).

I started out with a Kanger Evod kit, and now I'm using an Innokin itaste vv/vw 3 with a Davide BDC tank, and it is perfect for me so far. I Don't think I'll be switching devices anytime soon.

Great forum with lots of useful information!
 
So happy for you!

I started vaping on and off in October/November but never really took it seriously until the last couple of weeks. I'm still smoking a few of my regular cigarettes every day - I just can't get myself to stop thinking I need one - I really think it's mental. That said I'm vaping more now and hoping that I will soon be one of those that really doesn't want a real cig anymore!

Similar story - different day. Christmas eve I bought a starter kit on my way to a bar that had recently banned smoking. By 12/26, I was not even looking for a cigarette. Just enjoyed the vape. Really, I accidentally quit. I'm still looking for "the" flavor. In the meantime, I have found several that I like - mocha - coffee -etc.

Congratulations to both of us!!
 
Congrats to kicking the habit and welcome to the forums! A friend of mine has an itaste v3 and he really likes it. I might pick one up myself!

lmkucala, you not wanting a cigarette may come sooner than you expect! I started vaping sometime in the summer of last year, and I still have my last cigarette from my last pack sitting on my keyboard at home. It's been sitting there since I started vaping more in October.

Thanks for the welcome guys. One other positive side effect that came from switching to vaping...

I almost never drink water. Just Coffee, Tea, Juice and Pop. I ended up getting Vaper's mouth, and best advice is to drink water. Now everytime I Vape, I have a glass of water with me, so now I'm finally drinking water like I should.

It's great that you made the switch to vaping :toast:

The VV is a great device - powerful, full featured, yet light and portable. It even has a pass through so you can connect via usb to a power source and vape away for those moments when you forget to charge the battery :facepalm:

Now, you say that this will be the last device for a while, but just you wait. You hang around in here for long and you'll soon be dreaming of larger setups and the latest tank. When (not if) that happens, just enjoy it - most of us go through the curve.

Vape strong and welcome to the tribe.

Ok, you were right. Now I'm thinking of getting a ProVari. And if something comes out that has a smartphone app and communicates with it, I won't be able to resist that.
