So I must admit, I was pretty skeptical at first. I've been smoking for nearly 10 years now and always said I could quit cold turkey any day. Well back in March, I was in the hospital for a week (gallbladder) and of course, didn't have a single smoke. Easy way to quit, right? I got home and started jonesing. My car was at a friend's house because we'd carpooled and my mom came and got me from work to take me to the ER. So I'm at home recovering and my car is somewhere else. And all I can think about is I have two cigarettes left in a pack 10 miles away.
Now it's not like I'm feeling like a million bucks. Getting up to use the potty was a challenge since I'd had surgery. So it's not like I was craving a hit. No, it was the action of it. It was a routine to occasionally go outside and light up. So fast forward a few days and I go get my car. I light up. It tasted something foul and I threw it on the ground and gave the other one away. I declared I was quit.
Well, I had a wedding to be in that weekend (not joking, before my surgery I asked the doctor if I was still going to be able to be in this wedding cause I was a bridesmaid and had spent nearly 500 dollars on my dress and stuff (don't even get me started T_T)) and the bride was a smoking buddy. I bought a pack for the drive up there because it was a good hour and a half and smoking while driving was one of my habits. I didn't even light one up until I was almost there and it still tasted horrible. I thought I'd be giving the pack away.
I smoked the whole pack that weekend thanks to a mixture of alcohol and vicodin. Said I was done. Driving back home I was so tired that I stopped and got another pack thinking the action of it would help keep me awake. And that's how I didn't quit smoking.
Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago.
My boyfriend is a big fanatic and I'd tried his ecig a few times and didn't care much for it. I said 'it's not the nicotine, it's the action of it so I don't think it's for me.' Well a friend of his gave him a ton of stuff. About 50+ bottles of juice, batteries, tanks etc. So he gave me a little battery and a tank and gave me some juice to try. Black Mamba w/ menthol from the Pink Spot. I smoked my last cigarette on June 9th and haven't gone back since.
Except now I'm trading buying cigs for buying juice haha. Which is ludicrous considering he's got so many bottles of juice now. But they're all 24mg and 18mg. I only smoked 4-6 cigs a day and a pack usually lasted me 3-4 days so I'm thinking I want to go down in strength. I've ordered 12mg of Orange Dream Bar with 1 flavor shot from Mt Baker Vapor. Blame that on buying orange creamsicle ice cream and deciding I really wanted to vape it haha. But I've also tried Twisted Java from Halo and I really liked it. Went into one of those tobacco stores with some friends and on a whim bought some Mountain Dew and Fruit Punch. Kind of a miss on flavor but I mixed the two together and it's decent. I'd really like to try Rainbow Sherbert from Mt Baker Vapor but I'm trying not to buy anymore for a while.
I think the next one I get I'll try 6mg.
I think the hardest thing so far has been not to chain vape because I'm used to cigarettes.
So hey! I'm a forum junkie so expect to see me around.
