Ive been lurking for a while, figured I better get posting since I have some questions now. Quick snapshot of my past, been using smokeless since 11 y/o (cans, loose leaf, plugs) and had been using for the last 37 years with a 2ish year quit once. Occasional analog user/borrower, usually involving alcohol and only light/ultra light but also a semi-habitual cigar user (a little more on that later).
Oldest son gave me his old Blus he used to quit smoking back in September, I didnt start using them until mid-November and continued using the chew while using them, though my chewing reduced to a can every 3 days (versus every 2 days). Used some Christmas money to get into vaping, got everything in the mail Jan 3 (not a local vape shop near), used up my last can that day and have been off chew since then. Started with an iTaste MVP 20w and 4 iClear 16s (another upcoming post on that) and some ejuice. Then ordered a Tesla VV/VW and ProTank3 to have around the house while the MVP is charging, the MVP is my portable/daily (until evening) right now.
So been off the chew (and analogs and cigars) 3 weeks now, been going pretty good. No big cravings but do think about buying a can every day, which Ive been through before. That lip feel is something you could never replace with vaping. All my eJuices were 24mg but have since ordered 0mg of my three favorite flavors to cut my 24s down to 12 (for now). I like the throat hit of the 12 but there are times/ejuices where I still like the 24. Do plan on reducing my nicotine to the 6 to 3mg range but need to deal with the fog in my head and irritability issues until then.
Anywho, thanks to all here. I learned a lot researching before buying from you all here and hope to learn more in the future. A few other things about me: married a long time (almost 25 years), two sons, three grandkids, social worker, KCBS judge and competitor and home brewer/fermentor for 20ish years. My wife, who has smoked as long as I have chewed, has switched from analogs to V2 ecigs to vaper now. Luckily we enjoy several of the same eJuices which has helped with cost (she uses the MVP 2.0).
