Our hobby should now be known as SRT

I'm sad this thread died, I thought it was good stuff
I for one am glad you bumped it!
Mother Nature and ChooChooGranny said it best!
Can't wait for the video!
And btw, I hate the e-cigarette term too.
When talking with someone, or when writing, I'll use it one time, immediately equate it to vaping, so the reader/listener understands the use of the new term.
If it's a longer piece (comment, blog entry or whatever), I may use the combination again for reinforcement: e-cigarette / vape.
I do like the SRT, but don't really feel it's easy to use in conversation. For us, I feel that since we're all so familiar with the NRT acronym, SRT comes easily. But for the non-vape 'civilians', I try and use terminology they can quickly apply to our favorite topic
Sorry for the digression - it's the instructional designer / trainer / talking-head in me.
SRT on people!
This is interesting. I felt much the same way and it causes me to ask why? Why did I feel like I was cheating. If there is an easy option, why would I feel like it has to be hard. It's a big paradigm shift.
Sounds familiar... I tried it all.. Chantix was the most horrible of them all... With vaping there was a transition of doing both at the same time for a while but it did not last very long for me. There is still the occational crave for sonething but it is not very strong and i can easily puff through it. Feels like too good to be true
I can attest that SRT works where other NRT has failed. I tried just about everything: cold turkey, gum, Wellbutrin (I won't even go near Chantix--with pre-existing major depression, I could end up dead on that stuff), and all I did was relapse to smoking. I even tried convience store cigalikes, but I hacked on them and relapsed again.
Then I went to a tobacco store that also sold eGo PV's. I picked one up, got some of their juice, filled the clearo, took some toots, and found out I DIDN'T CHOKE! One month after that, I smoked my last cig and haven't picked one up since. I'm proof that SRT works! ANTZ, eat your narrow-minded hearts out!

Studies have also shown that the real rate might be less than 2% over the course of one year...

And some studies are now showing that perhaps NRT products don't really work at all...

I just dont like the sound of calling it a type of therapy. Granted it works waaaay better than other forms of nrt I dont like the medical sounding term attached to it. I enjoy vaping as a hobby and a good way to get my nic on
I've tried gum, patches, lozenges, inhalers, Zyban, and Chantix.
Until I started vaping, nothing really worked for me, I ALWAYS went back to cigarettes. I think the longest I've gone without a cigarette (except for now) was maybe two months.
I tried the nicorette gum, nasty, reason tabacco company and pharmaceuticals are lobbying to ban ecig industry, loosing millions of dollars to ecigs....

I tried NRT - in the form of NicoDerm patches - a few times. Never did go more than a couple of weeks before I was lighting up again.
SRT (aka "vaping") has definitely worked for me, though. Tried a Blu starter pack first. Wasn't enough to keep me off the stink sticks. The day I received my Halo G6 kit, though, was the last day I ever smoked a cigarette. The G6 is a cigalike, but a very good one. I didn't even use anything else for the first six weeks or so. When I started feeling like I needed more, I stepped up to the Triton. Been using that for two months now.
I'm just starting to feel like I'm pushing the limits of my Triton hardware, though, so I don't think it'll be long before I get either a mech or a mod.

You can call it anything you want if you give me a joy ride on Big Blue!
Started smoking at 17. Been smoking for 21 years. PAD+ for 19 of those years.
1st attempt was cold turkey. Fail
2nd. The "patch". Was smoking PAD with the patch on my arm
3rd. BLU ecig. Didn't last a week.
4th. The gum. Yuck! Gave me a mouth sore!!
5th. VMOD. Actually worked for almost 2 months. Then my new annual goals came out at my work and it was all over.
6th. Chantix. This....this stuff is bad news. Gave me nightmares. I stopped taking it on the 3 or 4th night. Threw the bottle away.
7th. 7 has always been my lucky number. A friend gave me a starter kit with a couple bottles of juice from MBV, an eGo, and a Vision Vivi Nova. Nowadays, I'm all about rebuildables and haven't touched a ciggy in 3 months, don't even want it.

My story is much like yours. I tried everything with the NRT but I always went back to the cigarettes. Then on a whim I tried SRT. That was 4 months ago. The only time a smoke a cigarette is if I run out of E-Juice. My wife goes to buy more E-Juice for me and I smoke cigarettes until she gets back home with the E-Juice. Then I stop smoking the cigarettes again. I don't miss the cigarettes at all and I feel much better. The coughing is gone. The mucus is gone. Most important I feel so much better. I take my hat off to SRT. It really works well and saves you so much money.
I agree. To prove it my mod is named THE VAPINATOR.
I like it!
I picked up a Dr. Who TARDIS wrap* for my MVP, so now I just ask the wife if she's seen my TARDIS** ... that has kinda a kinky sound to it doesn't it?
