Oh Dave, that is a wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations.
The really amazing part of it is putting it on my Google Calendar a couple of months ago and getting a notification this morning that today is the day. 1000 days sounds more impressive than 2 yrs, 8 mos and 28 days, eh? :2cool:

I am compelled to confess that Dave hitting a Thousand Days is certainly a milestone worthy of celebration, in my case, although I never really kept track of the time, I seriously started the PV about the same time as I discovered ECF .. and it was classwife that took me by the hand and led me to gear that worked .. after a very unsuccessful attempt at an early generation njoy that cost $100 + for nothing .. my confession is that during that time, I did succumb to 4 analogs, each time as my old friend Jack Daniels weakened my resolve and I happened to be in a social situation .. the good news is, the last analog I believe was July 4th, 2014 .. and I stobbed it out after 2 gagging puffs .. good on me .. ;)

In other news, this morning, after I grabbed a cup of enough of those first coffee drips to fill it (which is my norm, initially hitting that deep, dark Folgers that first comes out of the machine as a "kick start") .. I flicked on the radio as is also my habit (yes, I still listen to a "radio") and heard of this new trend in some Countries, I think S Korea or some such, of folks videoing themselves while they eat and narrating what's happening in their lives .. which, apparently, garners attention on YouTube or their version of YouTube ..

So, I pondered as I puffed my PV and sipped my "spoon will stand up on it's own" coffee ..

I've been hoping for the last few years that I would have a revelation of some sort that would propel me into the YouTube Sensation ranks, and target the "older" demographic .. ;)

"Old Man Takes Daily Meds"
"Old Man Complains (auto censor killed the real word) About Other Drivers as He's Driving"
"Old Man Falls Asleep in the Recliner"
"Old Man Yells at Kids on Lawn"

etc .. if anyone has an idea for me, I'd love to see it .. .. just keep it clean, please .. :eek:

Hi to you all! I am new to the forum and was glad to see this discussion. I am "over 55" and been cig free for 11 whole days! Smoked 40 years, non-stop. Got off by using a cigalike and am ready for more battery power, so going shopping tomorrow. Hope I can understand the kids in the vape shop as they try to explain it all to me. I have read a bunch, and youtubed-ed a lot to try to understand what my next step should be. Also the newbie discussion here on the forum has been helpful. Going for the Ego type next, I guess......but not gonna light a cig, that's for sure!


Love your avvie!! Ain't it great to not be smoking?!!!Welcome!Your switch to vaping will be much easier and smoother now that you're here with all these smart , generous folks to help guide you on your wonderful journey!

I don't believe in easing anymore Willie.....too old..too little time...too much to accomplish...:D

Consider it simply a metaphor .. :) .. since I am of the same cloth .. too much to do, too little time .. ;)

One of the minor miracles of the Threads on ECF is, social threads such as this one, are not well indexed .. so, random fate can sometimes play a role in discovery .. what Karma Cause & Effect led you here will forever be unknown (unless, of course, you got tipped off .. ;)) .. at any rate, many visit, some stay .. collectively, we would hope you would be among those that stay ..

Since I was likely the first to place a recliner rather than a rocker (although we, for the most part, all Rock in one form or another .. ;)) .. just be aware that this is my chair .. I am not adverse to sharing at times, especially on those cold Winter days .. ;)

Today, Friday the 13th of Nov 2015, makes 1000 days since I had my last cigarette. Thanks to vaping!

Your lucky day!

Related side note: I'm still absolutely amazed I quit smoking. Hope I never take vaping for granted.

BigBells I Think it is loves the FA Orange. I got some but have not tried it yet. It does smell orange though.
I've got a sample size of several of their oranges. Just haven't messed with it yet.
How's the wife doing Bob?
