Nice to meet you all

Hi, I'll be 3 weeks without a single "analog" this Friday night.

It was nearly instant for me. I had one smoke Friday evening 3 weeks ago before I figured out my setup.

I'm 27 and have been smoking for 6-7 years. Even though it's been 3 weeks, I haven't really noticed any major improvements except that I no longer reek like smoke. I thought my breaths were a little bit bit bit deeper after 48 hrs but I think that could just be placebo effect. Maybe I won't see significant improvement in lung function due to having only smoked for 6 years.

But, I'm really enjoying vaping! The taste is far better, it's far more convenient, and should start being less expensive pretty soon. So far, I've spent $265.00 on an ego c twist starter kit with 3 starter bottles of fairly awful juice and an assortment of clearo's/carts etc, a bottle of halo freedom, a bottle of halo cool mist menthol, a 30ml bottle "death by menthol" a 30ml of RY4 and a vision eternity rba.

This is long now, thanks for listening! Feel free to ask a newb anything!

Hi I was a smoker for 32yrs. And for those of you who have only smoked tobacco products for a few years the benifits of swithching to vapping may not be as dramatic as for instance me. I am no longer out of breath when climbing stairs, I no longer wake up hacking up a lung or cough in my sleep. The last straw came for me when I developed copd like symptoms from the fire proofing they put in real smokes. I can taste things properly again I can smell again not always a good thing the amount of toxins I flooded my body with just blows my mind. Even if you haven't notice much of a difference yet rest assured you've done your body a big favor by eliminating the poisons that processed tobacco has put in it. Here's to not smelling like crap anymore.

Good for you! - I'm 2 months without an analog, and will never go back, I love vaping much more than I did smoking - I'm in the process of converting my dad, mother in law, sister in law, and multiple others - I feel like I'm saving lives. I even wrote my story to the FDA, asking them to simply help make sure it's safe (if they feel they must) but don't screw it all up with stupid un-realistic regulations.. They let Chantix get approved, and look how many suicides, etc. happened. I hope they don't add big old taxes, etc. like it's a tobacco product when it isn't... Hopefully they just make sure juices meet certain criteria, etc, but don't screw it all up for us....They sent me a reply and cited their terrible tests from years ago on inferior chinese juices that were crap, and act as though no self-regulating has been going on in the last couple of years - I've seen great progress from manufacturers, and my USA made liquids I buy, I feel very safe. Vape ON!!!!

I'm ordering extra starter egos, for friends at this point, so if they really wanna make the switch, no excuse to get started, then I'll send them here/ good vendor or two and let them free.
I even have a pink one coming in case a female wants to get off analogs pink might make it more doable

Hello! Congratulations on making it three weeks so far! I got my e-cig for Christmas, so I'm still measuring my time without an analog in hours. My sense of smell seems to be the biggest difference I've noticed so far. Unfortunately, there are lots of stinky things in this world, but I'm not one of them any more. LOL

 

[Winemiller1]

I gave my mother in law a Halo starter set for christmas and my Dad, and they are both making the switch - Good for you!!! You will never want to go back, I'm 2 months without analogs, and I love vaping more than I ever did Cigs!

Welcome to the forum, IMMatthu. I smoked longer than you have been alive and I really enjoy vaping, too.

You might want to at least sample fruit/dessert flavors. A lot of us were surprised at what actually appealed to us after smoking for so long. You'll find your favorite. Best wishes.

Hi all -new to this format but liking what I have tried so far - my Brother in law let me try his Blu over the holiday - since then I scoured this forum and ordered a EGo-C kit and a few flavors to try - looks like fun!

Stick with it! Vaping has been a great experience for most everyone involved in this forum.

Thanks for that! I hope I made good choices though. I looked for the pattern of gear recommended and liquids mentioned most often that matched my tastes. I am counting on these random voices being honest opinions and not shill posts. This forum looks like it is up front so I am not super worried about my choices.
