So today I celebrate one year of being a vapor. I put the cigarettes down one year ago after smoking Newports for 15 years.
I started out with a Joye 510 and 6 months later upgraded to EGO (battery life is amazing for me they last almost a day and a half). Tasty Vapor juice (Atomic Cinnacide and Strawberry Cheese Cake) all 36mg nicotine. I direct drip on the atomizer. I just blow out the atomizers once and a while, never soak or anything like that. They last about 4 months; die and then I just buy new ones. They are like $12. I have only bought 2 batteries in a year. They are $20
I have learned you have to smoke in slow motion. Nice smooth slow draw the vapor in to your mouth and then slow exhale through your nose. Dont take vapor into your lungs every time. Your nose will absorb nicotine just fine, maybe better than the lungs. By the time the vapor goes deep into the lungs it dissolves and the vapor on the exhale isnt that much which leads one to believe it isnt working - also secret to stealth vaping !!. You still get your nicotine either way. Over the year, I have to keep re-training myself to slow down and exhale through the nose once and a while.
I feel absolutely great with no notable side effects or health problems from vaping. I didnt gain a ton of weight. No problems really what so ever that I can think of. You have to watch yourself at 36mg of nicotine. Its easy to get nicotine burnor bloated head feeling, but never a problem. Just put the vaporizer down and drink some water and I was fine.
My taste buds are through the roof, everything tastes so darn good now. I dont get winded just walking up some stairs. Smokers cough is long gone and I was really bad just before I quit. I can smell things a mile away now and I can pin point right where that smell is coming from.
I NEVER get sick anymore!!! I would get sick every two months or so and it would last 2 weeks. Since I started vaping I have only been sick TWICE and it only lasted a half day. Yes a half day. Woke up feeling sick, but then by the end of the day I felt fine again. AMAZING !! Now I can use sick days for other reasons.
I am fully addicted to the vaporizer now. If it breaks or you take it away from me I will not be a happy person. But thats what we signed up for right, a safe alternative to smoking. It is still far cheaper and safer than smoking. I am convinced now that I get more satisfaction off of the vaporizer than ever smoking.
I use to tell everyone about my e-cig. But now I just keep quiet. I stealth vape everywhere, work, restaurants, airplanes, movie theatre, you name it I have vaped there. I even was vaping at the Secretary of the State the other day. Nobody ever says anything or seems to care and I like it that way.
To the newbies, stay with it, if something isnt working check this forum. If you do it right, vaping will be far more satisfying than cigarettes and you will never go back. Learn how to stealth vape and you can vape anywhere regardless of rules. People think I chew on pens a lot.
I just want to say thank you to ECF and its members. I am truly convinced you saved my life !! I could have never been a successful vapor without the information on this forum.
See you guys in another year!! (or another trip around the sun)
