Smoked for about 32 years. The last 4-5 years I was up to 2 packs a day. I tried vaping about 5 years ago for about a week and it didn’t take. I dual used the entire time. Wrong set up, wrong juice, was really just curious and not really thinking about quitting.
Decided I was going to give it another go last Saturday evening so I read a ton of quit stories for motivation - some on here. I got a lot of inspiration from what I read so I thought I’d leave my quit story (so far) for anyone thinking of vaping to quit smoking. I hope it’s okay to list my new set up as that was something I questioned when I was researching vaping. Still pretty new to this so it’s not going to be a technical description.
I bought 2 mods (Swag kit and a Voopoo Drag with a Wake tank), and multiple 6mg ejuices for the mods. Excessive and totally unnecessary, but I’m not regretting it at all.
Sunday - Smoked a 1/2 pack and did not want to smoke more. No cravings.
Monday - Smoked 5 cigarettes. 3 in the morning, 1 after work and one in the evening. A few cravings - all while I was at work and can’t really vape (definitively not with a mod).
Tuesday - Smoked 5 cigarettes. Same routine with the cigs and same cravings. That evening I bought a Baton with 2 pods and a couple of 25mg ejuices with nic salts, but I didn’t use it till Wednesday.
Wednesday - Smoked 4 cigarettes, by 8am. Started using the Baton with the nic salts at 11am. NO CIGARETTES since 8am Wednesday!!!! No cravings either.
The combo of the devices works for me. I use the mods mostly and only use the Baton when I’m at work and only use it a couple of times. I am amazed at how easy it has been to put down the cigarettes.
Physical changes I’ve noticed in a week: No nicotine cravings/do not want to smoke cigarettes at all, the congestion I always had is gone as of yesterday, I can breathe much deeper, I don’t smell like an ashtray and I’m just happier.
