Hi everyone, great thread you got here.
A question for you folks that smoked 2 PAD for many years. Did you quit the stinkys immediately or did it take
some time? If so, how long? Also what mls of nic enabled you to part ways with Marlboro Man?
Hi there OC - welcome to the thread.
I was at 2 PPD+ for years at the end of 45 yrs of smoking. I started w/ skinny 510 batts & 24mg of nic. I cut down to about 1/2 PPD the after about a week. Then to 'bout 1/2 dozen a day by the end of the 1st month. Also, I did cut back to 18mg nic because the TH at 24nic was a bit too much for me. But there I was stuck. Even moving to a better setup, the eGo, I just couldn't let go of the smoking. But I was satisfied that I had reduced my smoking significantly. I wasn't beating myself up over those I smoked, after 45 yrs of smoking I wasn't concerned about quitting in 1 day, or 10 days or a month even. I did have a mental commitment to make it work, but wasn't pressuring myself to 'do it now'. After a couple months, I was down to just a few like 3-4 smokes a day. I was still 'craving' more, but was making do with just a few. Then I heard about WTA and started reading all I could 'bout it and the MAIO, minor alkaloids in tobacco smoke. I hooked up with a vendor here in PA that was selling WTA juice. Well the day I started using WTA, was the last day I had a cig. That's coming up to a year in a few weeks. Back then I was probably vaping WTA 80% and nic-juice 20% of the the time (and I vape a lot!). Now the ratio is reversed and I don't depend on the WTA juice as much as I did month's ago. Seems after hanging around ECF for a year now, the vast majority of vapers have been successful with nic only, but for some of us that wasn't enough. I don't recommend WTA juice to people unless they've given nic-only a fair try. I had been vaping into my 3rd month when I started with it, and it did help me over the last hurdle to completely quit smoking.
