Obligatory "I'm New Here" Post!

[jadams13]

I smoked for 17 years, give or take, and smoked my last one 11 days ago

I bought a locally-branded starter kit a few years ago (automatic DSE801) and was happy for a few days with it, but after one of the atomizers fried and hassle from the seller, I tucked it away to be forgotten. Fast forward to last October, and my wife quits smoking cold-turkey using her magic woman powers, and urges me to quit as well. Cold-turkey? Not a chance... Patch? Nightmares... Gum? SHE bought me a pack of smokes within the first week... Prescription? There has to be another way... E-cig? Let's try it again!

I purchased the Blu Premium Starter kit, it arrived on a Wednesday and that Saturday morning I picked it up instead of a cigarette. Done with smoking, just like that. Now... I have a problem when it comes to new toys... I am 10 days in, and I already have an eGo-C Twist, Mini Nova, thread adapter for my one still-working 801, a few bottles of juice and some Vision Nano's in the mail.

Problem? There is no "problem" here! What's that, hun? Another package for me????

I do want to thank you all for the wealth of information provided here. May your juice bottles never run empty!

Its great to be off smokes isn't it....what a life saving miracle.

It was like flipping a switch for me as well. I'm curious why some can switch so easily and others don't. For me I think it was because I am all about the nicotine hit. Flavors… meh, throat hit… cough. Just give me what I NEEEEED, man!

Congrats on a smooth transition! Sounds like you're doing great.

You are not alone... I too have a toy addiction. In a little over 2 months I went from a blu premium kit to a ego twist to a evic then...Tanks, flavors, a storage box... a picture
would better describe what my wife calls insanity.

 

[teepee t]

hey all, totally agree! also had been a smoker for 17 years, generally feeling healthier!)

hadn't researched at all when i hit the store (vaporurs.com a really nice gang here in montreal. against their wisdom and starting with an ego, i went for a emini/eroll kit for the forum factors (and the nice pcc). anyway, will be heading back soon for a twist pretty later this week

have to say that i've been stalking the e-cig-forum for a couple weeks now, and signed up just cause it's a wicked place!! reminds me a bit of candlepower forum, same awesome geek commitment, competency, and charity (plus alot of similar hardware bits).

anyway, happy to be here!

Had to stop by simply because I also started my intro post with the word obligatory

Congrats on the switch!

I didn't think I was going to be original with it, but thank you!

Okay, I had to show my wife that picture because she already thinks I have too much stuff. But now that she knows what too much REALLY looks like, well...

[DuckysBooBoo]

[Milla]

Congatz by stopping smoking afther 17 years

 

[andygreen]

hi everyone not really new to vaping but new to ECF hope to learn as much as i can from the ECF vets

 

[tarless]

Virtually same situation as me. 20 years of the stinkies and now about 2 weeks of vaping. Funny how you know almost straight away that this time it's the Real Thing and you will never go back. Feel the same way.

Smoked at least a pack a day for 24 years, put down my last cigarette 2 weeks ago, and I now love not smoking.. Lol
