hey y'all. after a couple of months of browsing, figured i would get around to registering over here too.
background: started smoking @ 14 ... been PAD+ since 17. figured it was time to give it up. Never really seriously tried before though.
picked up a couple disposables, and a cheap semi-rechargeable kit from the gas station. joined a different forum where a friend of mine posts regularly ... and started weening myself off of the tobacco (and as a side note, i refuse to refer to a cigarette as an "analog", because analog is not the opposite of electronic, especially in this instance).
so, 4 weeks ago i was smoking 1.5 PAD, and now i am on day 16 tobacco free. I got a small care package donated anonymously with a ego battery, a couple of attys, several cartos & clearos, a tip, and over a dozen partial bottles of juice in various strengths / flavors. it was just enough to get me started, and a second battery from a local smoke shop got my wife started too. the cool thing is, that from what i understand, someone that is fairly advanced and moved on to mods cleaned out their "junk drawer" and their box of juice they either didn't like or got sick of.
the key to my moving away from the tobacco and to vaping full time was variety. i needed the options to keep my mind (and my taste buds) busy.
i picked up a kgo kit, a ton of juice from GP (love his USA Mix, like smoking a cig and drinking hot chocolate), some visions, a pack of ce2 and ST clear xl cartos, and we are set. i am on day 16, i believe that today will be my wife's first tobacco free day. she hasn't rolled a cigarette in 2 weeks, and has only been smoking one in the morning for over a week.

You will love this place full of nice people that are very encouraging and helpful. I am glad you and your wife made the decision to be healthier.
16 days analog free is superb. Soon your analogs will be just a bad dream. Welcome to the forum.
