Hey all decided yesterday to head to the local vape store, have a few friends and relatives who have successfully given up smoking through vaping. I am feeling a little anxious as I have had a harder time of it than my partner and sil. But its only been one day so onwards and upwards! Gone from 20 in a day to 4... So thats not bad I guess.

It's different for everyone so don't be discouraged. Take your time and move at a speed that's comfortable for you. Good luck you have the support of this whole community so if you want any tips or run into any problems ask away because chances are someone here has dealt with it.

 

[djsvapour]

That's great!
Stay calm, carry on vaping and you'll finish the job off in no time.

Welcome to ecf, sounds like your off to a good start

 

[Riplea]

Sounds like a great start. I bet you didn't start smoking at 20 cigs a day either.

 

[r77r7r]

Welcome. Many people don't quit on the spot.

You are doing Great Pink. Just keep plugging along.

Drink a lot of Water, Get a little More Exercise than normal. And just focus on Not Smoking Today. Just One day at a Time.

And remember, it's all about How Many Cigarettes you Don't Smoke verses How Many you do.

Both my wife and I were 40 year heavy smokers. I quit in 3 days. My wife struggled some, smoking a few a day for 2-3 weeks. Everyone is different. 20 down to 4 is pretty darn good.

That is great! Took me a month to get down to 10 a day.

Welcome @Pink Lemonade and I hope you enjoy your stay~!

Hey great job Pink tell us what you ended up with at the shop?

 

[Sludge Van Diesel]

Stick with it. I never actually intended giving up, just cutting down. It just happens I never picked up another cigarette after I first used an e-cig.

I found an (at least) 8 year old pack of 10 cigarettes in my office / spare room yesterday whilst having a clear out. Unopened.

 

[Pink Lemonade]

Thanks for the support everyone I was feeling like a bit of a failure as everyone I know has quit straight up once switching. I've done a lot better today. Still ended up having a cigarette today but not really feeling the urge as bad as yesterday. Definitely will be sticking with it.

I'm not actually sure lol I kinda went in blind. It says eGo AI0 on the side like I said completely new to this. The guy at the shop suggested it.

Whoo hoo.
You got a great starter e-cig.
It's the only one I give to people (to try) these days. Also, it beats spending $100 on an outdated pen type (worth $19.99) from the greedy brands.
Joyetech, Eleaf, Kanger are Chinese makes (or assemblies in some cases)
Halo, Vaporfi and V2 are brands.
The difference is they take Joyetech, Eleaf and Kanger products, make up some dubious (and sometimes immoral) marketing strategy and run off with your money. Halo do it in a small way which hardly matters but others are just unstoppable in their greed and determination to convince the internet they are superior. It's a very silly game which the community tolerates.
I, on the other hand see through the see-through behavior.

Welcome and Congrats to you! You will do great- I needed ecigs and Will Power to help me quit my 30+ year love affair with cigarettes! I gave myself time to cut back for a few weeks and set my quit date and have not had a single cigarette since Dec1, 2014! Sure the urges were still there, but I just vaped more and stayed strong, toughing it out was not so bad with my ecig ! Now I hate even the smell of cigarettes!
Stay Strong and Vape On!

Welcome and glad you joined. Would not worry about smoking a few when you first start, very common occurrence. It's just a matter of finding your happy spot and what you are at ease with. The vape information below is a good source or knowledge.

Don't beat yourself up over a few cigs remember its the ones you don't smoke that count. I have been vaping for close to a year and still have to have a few cigs a day. But I know one day I'll get there.

 

[Pamawoman]

Took me a few YEARS before I finally put down the stinkies. I found coming here very inspirational.
