I guess I'm an accidental quitter too. Not because I didn't want to, but I really didn't believe there was anything out there that would actually help me stop my 35 year/pack a day habit. I had tried everything else; gum, patches, zyban and none of those came close to helping.

I got my first e-cig on April 27, it was a analog look-alike and not very dependable, so I didn't totally quit. After doing some research and quite a bit of reading on this board, I ponied up the money for an SD and haven't had an analog in over 2 weeks. I did try a few puffs off one of my old ciggies about a week ago, but it tasted so nasty I put it out after a couple of drags. Blagh, I can't believe a thought those tasted good a month ago! :shock:

I'm so grateful that I heard about e-cigs (it was on some talk-radio show that I just happened to surf onto) and then I googled onto this forum and found a wealth of information to sort through until I found what works for me.

I do think of myself as a non-smoker now and have told many smoking friends about e-cigs. I do believe my son is getting ready to jump on the bandwagon--he has asked me lots of questions including what websites to check. I hope so--I feel guilty that he smokes because I think that maybe he started because he had always seen me smoke. Aw, the things we moms feel guilty about.

All I can say at the end of the day is that I'm very happy not to be smoking smelly, messy, dangerous analogs. If I vape for the rest of my life, I'm perfectly okay with that. It simply has to be less hazardous than analogs. I know I feel better, my nose works again (a mixed blessing, that!), don't stink anymore and don't have to walk the 'green mile' to go outside to the smoking area.

Ordered an e-cig because of the "I gotta have that" cool factor. I was a pack-a-day smoker for 20 years and had no intention of quitting. A little over a week after starting to use the e-cig, I gave away the rest of my analogs. Last cigarette for me was May 23rd, 2009 at 10:00pm. I still have the occasional small craving for an analog, but it goes away quickly after a tasty vape of some yummy nicquid. The "I need a cigarette" triggers are fading day by day, and I'm down to 11mg from 18mg juice.

Thanks to everybody on here for the great information, tips, tricks, reviews, and support.

unfortunetly i think my charger killed my batteries, and since im new i didnt have a back up. had to buy some analogs today, and let me tell you, they taste Bad to me now. amazing just after a week.
