Hi Roger. 5 posts can happen very quickly. There is a ton of information in ECF and the folks are super friendly and supportive. I already asked you a question on another thread you participated in, but here is another. What is the vaping scene like in your part of Iowa? How vaping friendly is your state?

The wife and I've been a pack/day smoker for 40 years. About 2 months ago I was hospitalized for what the Dr thought was a heart attack. Luckily it wasnt. The wife has COPD. So, we decided to quit smoking at the same time... it would never work for one of us to try. We grabbed a disposable ecig at the gas station and was pleasantly surprised! So we bought a 510 cigalike kit... a his-n-hers (we wanted something as close as possible to what we have spent years holding). A couple of bottles of juice and cartomizers, a few clearamizers, and we just love it. We now smoke 3 analogs/day... with the morning coffee, just before bed, and one some other time.
The first of the month we will order a his-n-hers eGo CE4+ starter kit, more clearamizers, carts, juice, etc. I can definatly see the appeal of vaping! We actualy find that when we smoke an analog that it just tastes nasty compared to the variety of flavors that juices offer. We will reduce the nic levels in the juice each month.
I have a feeling that this is becoming more than a cig replacement. This is becoming a hobby as well! Oh boy... another expensive hobby... LOL! But, its cheaper than smoking analogs. We keep finding stuff we want to try next, but it will have to be done in increments.
From what Ive been reading around the forums, this seems like a friendly bunch of folks! Thanx in advance for all the support and help!

I do have a question...
I figured out where to edit my avatar... where do I go to edit my signature?
Thanx

Sounds like you're doing great! Congrats to you and your wife!
I wouldn't worry so much about nicotine levels at this point. In fact, you may want to have a bottle of high nic for those times when you're having strong cravings just to get you over the hump.
I never intended to quit smoking when I started vaping. Over time, like you I found I really enjoyed vaping much more than smoking.

Hi Roger!! My name is Deb and I'm trying to do the same thing. Seems everyone on this site is very friendly and helpful. I've been reading for awhile, lots of useful info here.

That's a great story! You'll find that the expenses really do go down over time, even to the point that you save a vast amount of money. Assuming you aren't a juice hound or mod hound or something, because if you are it's likely to get pricey.
I can theoretically spend 3% what I did smoking by making my own liquids and rebuilding my own heads. Most people don't want to go that far and that's fine. You'll still save a lot of money.

Go to settings and then to edit signature. I think I was on here for a few weeks before I learned about it.
Thanks for sharing your story and vape on.
You'd find it under " Settings"(upper right of any page), but you need 15 posts first. Here's some other post requirements.-> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-members-how-many-posts-do-i-need-titles.html
You seem so right on the path. An ego type is a great way to go. I still use mine after an year, but some people move on to larger things' It is a matter of choice as you see fit. Welcome.
Welcome. Best thing anyone can do is to get off of the cigs. I started with an ego starter kit and some 24mg juice. I had a smoke about a couple days later and after three or four puffs found it sickening. I still had the nicotine urge and was vaping the 24mg juices a lot. I ordered a bunch of tobacco flavors all with the high nic, these kept me away from the cigs easily. Four months now and I am mixing my own at 8-12 mgs. I had some 24mg juice recently and almost climbed the walls. Keep at it and don't give up and you will find that cigs are just not for you anymore. I wish every smoker would try it.
Hi, Rog. My name is Roger too, but it was already taken and I am simply not going to be something like Rogerxyz.
As a very ex two PAD 30 years smoker I salute both of you!
Quitting with e-cigs can be funny that way. For a big majority of us once you start vaping your smoking experience can and does turn on you and get nasty in short order. You are both very fortunate that that happened. In it's own way, smoking a cigarette now will be it's own worst negative reinforcement. You will give up those last couple few when you are ready. Look at it this way: As a 30 year smoker I didn't see a problem with taking 3 months to completely quit. Like you guys I didn't smoke very many as soon as I started vaping, but it did take some time to... I dunno, just completely get over my 30 relationship with them. Got down to my last cigarette in my last pack, smoked it - didn't enjoy it at all, and it was over. It was just time to stop buying any more.
Mornings were especially hard as far as cravings went. And for me - right before bed time for some odd reason. One thing to consider is getting the next higher nicotine level to deal with craving holes in the day. I used two different nic levels in my first four months or so of vaping and that helped a lot to deal with cravings.
