I had a couple of friends that started out awhile back with cig-alikes and wasn't really impressed. Then a friend gave me an ego with a clearo and while it stunted my smoking a bit, it wasn't until I found awesome flavors that I found myself wanting to vape instead of smoke. That and I forgot how much of a dealbreaker was when it came to dating, so vaping just had so much going for it haha.
I always go outside between games with the other smokers at the bowling alley. One of the members of our league was vaping a pro-vari and I quizzed him about it. I have quit for several periods since 1978 and always went back. Cold turkey, patches, lozenges, perscription from doctor, etc. always left me wanting a cig from day two. Looked for equipment similar to his locally, but didn't find it. Got talked at a local tobacco store into buying a green smoke starter kit and some 18mg cartomizers. That didn't cut it, still needed cigs 3 to 5 times a day. Bought 24mg cartomizers and they did not cut it either.
Broke down and ordered an evic, kanger mt3's, & 5 different 10ml 24mg bottles of various e juice. Got it this last week and what a difference! Taste varies quite a bit depending on wattage and to a somewhat less degree the amount of vapor, so I can dial in what I like depending on the juice. Also I do not get the jitters I still got with the green smoke.
I do find myself missing the buzz and calm of the first cig of the morning, so I vaped Friday morning then tried a cig. No buzz and it tasted awful. I have not had a cig since then. After searching Google I found this forum and the WTA thread. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-alkaloid-wta-now-available-aroma-ejuice.html After reading most of it I ordered 2 bottles today and I will see if it gives me the first vape cig experience I still miss. That would be the last piece of the puzzle.

A friend of mine had a Lava Tube let me use his device for a day and convince me to start vaping and stop smoking.. 
My boss's wife was using janty ecigs being sold here locally as Twisp. I used them for a while but needed something better. took a look online and found that there was a whole world of vaping and that janty was just one of millions of products out there! found a local retailer online and started using egos and clearos. now i am seriously considering RBAs and VW mods, i'm hooked on this idea of a diy approach to making your vaping life better!
My boyfriend's coworker started calling a few months ago (and is now vaping at zero nicotine). He told him all about and where to go. Neither of us had ever heard about or seen anything like it before.
I was attempting to quit smoking after about 16 years. Over a few months time, I managed to go from about a pack a day to 2-5, but my job is very stressful and it seemed impossible to quit my smoke breaks. I was posting my progress on my company social network and someone mentioned they were trying e-cigs. I had tried them a few years prior and they were horrible, but I thought it might work to allow me to quit during my breaks. I could vary the time to less and less till eventually I didn't smoke at all. I headed over to a gas station and got a blu cig. It didn't quite compare to a paper cig, but it was much better than the first one I had tried. Then some friends of mine gave me their 510 models they didn't use (3 in total). After the batteries dying a bunch of times I decided to see what else was out there. And now a few hundred dollars later, I am a full-on vape nut. I plan on quitting this habit at some point, but for now I'm enjoying it. It's turned into my new hobby.
I started with a group of friends trying to quite smoking cigarettes. But at first I wasn't a believer till I went to a higher nicotine level. I slowly tapered myself from cigarettes and now a full time vapor!
I've been observing vapers here in th PH for about 6mos or so before I tried and it and got hooked with it
My best friend has been smoking for 20+ years and has tried to quit hundreds of times over. He mentioned that he was going to give Blu a try. Me, being a skeptic whenever he tries to quit smoking, looked it up online and started reading some reviews. I figured I would test out the waters for him so to speak before he went and wasted his money on some other "hair brained scheme" of his. So I bought a disposable Blu took it home and used it for the day. Now I had been smoking for 17 years and while I have quit off/on throughout those years... i think the longest I ever went was 6-8 months... and during the day that the disposable lasted me I didn't have one craving and I actually was enjoying the whole delivery process of it... BUT something was missing... I did some further research online. Saw you guys on ECF here and my first thought was "WHOA! Talk about a crazy subculture of fanatics!!", but I was very thankful for all of the insight that the vets on here had and being a little gun shy with all the mods and whatnot decided that I would splurge and get 2 kits. A kit from V2cigs and an eGo kit. V2 was nice... eGo was better (more versatility with flavors and it felt more hands on). I am a tinkerer so once I got back to reading all of the "WHOA, crazy fanatics" posts about mods & rebuildables I knew it was time to start a new hobby. So here I am... a new vaper and feeling like a new man.
Btw, my friend has now been vaping strong for about a week without even thinking about cigarettes.

^I don't think of cigs anymore as well but I do get "nighthmares" at times that I'm smoking! LOL
I am a machinist and one day a co-worker brought an cigarette to work and pretty much passed it around the shop. After trying it, i realized that i didn't want a cigarette break and when break came i went searching for the ecig!
I had thought about quitting for a long time...but still enjoyed the ritual of it. Saw a guy with one on a cruise ship, which was my first exposures. Tried a couple of disposables...kind of compared them to switching from regular coke to diet coke...but hung in there. Bought an ego as a starter...still looking for a nice tobacco juice, but getting there.
Lot's of great stories here. I got started vaping when my son came down to Mexico for a month long visit. He brought along some nJoy 510 batteries and cartomizers which I thought was really cool. I tried them for awhile and the next day we were on the computer ordering an ego twist and clearomizers. My son is a bit of a gear nut which he says he gets from me. I guess he must be right as I now have a Vamo, a Smok Natural and some RBAs to mess around with. I haven't had an analog since the middle of February and am feeling great.
My wife rebelled at first at the notion of quitting, but is now down to 5 cigs a day since taking my Vamo!

Howdy!
I had been the only smoker in my family and took a lot of flack for it. My baby sister found a groupon for a v2 starter kit and offered to buy it for me if i'd try it. I said yes and haven't looked back.

A co-worker started vaping, and I asked him about it.
FTR I was a 1/2 PAD smoker and fighting the craving on a daily (daily my ..., hourly) basis. I've smoked on & off for 30 years, the off periods ranged from 8 years to 6months. I tried patches, gum, Zyban and Chantix (oh, stay away from that) and while my smoking would stop, the cravings didn't... ever.
My co-worker didn't know that much about vaping, just that he got his in some store and likes the flavors. I started researching (OMG there is so much info out there). Since I wasn't sure it would fly for me, I got a cig-alike starter kit from Apollo. I went with them because I like the form factor, they had reasonable reviews and they're local. That was December of 2012. I have to admit I had 6 analogs during the first 6 weeks or so, but none since.
It took a while for me to find the right nic level but since then, I've been a happy vaper.

Smoked analogues for 10 years 30 sticks per day. Decided to change after having much problems with my health.

Wish me the best ppl!
Cheers

I wanted a e cigar to replace my regular cigars and started looking into it and it has been good for me so far saving money big time over the initial investment
