After smoking for the last 20 years consistently , a pack a day or more for at least 15 of those 20 years. I was really feeling the pain in the mornings and throughout the day with shortness of breath and well ya know all the particular nasties so I will spare you. Decided to get my first mod maybe 5 weeks ago? In the first week I broke down and smoked again . After the smoke I felt sick and wondered why the hell I did that. Happy to say since then I've not touched a cig and wow do I feel amazing. No more endless coughing and heavy lungs in the morning . No more putrid cig smell , better every day! I just can't believe how effective vaping is for an alternative to smoking. Not only do I not desire a cigarette the very thought makes me feel sick . Hate smelling it outside from others who still smoke and feel bad for all the non smokers who had to put up with my smoke all those years. Any way not to just ramble on here but I'm just blown away with how helpful vaping can be for an ex die hard smoker like me. I thought I would never quit , now I know I will never smoke again.

Congrats!

I smoked 38 years at the end 2 1/2 packs a day.

Almost 4 years ago i started vaping at 18 mg nicotine.

Later i started making my eJuice, abd started lowering my nicotine about every 4-6 weeks then 12/28/2015 i went completely nicotine free.

Vaping works because it is a COMPLETE replacement for smoking instead of a partial like nicotine gums and patches.

You get the nicotine you crave.
The vapor feels like smoke in your lungs
You keep up the muscle memory of hand to mouth and taking a drag.

Continued success on your vaping journey.

You might want to start stocking some nicotine and spare mods and tanks for the dark ages if the FDA has its way. There are a several good threads on ECF that can help you do that and of course you can ask questions. Everyone here is very helpful. The blog area also has some great info about stocking up. Here is a link to one of them to get you started.

And here is a thread that has been dealing with stocking up for quite a while
Are you done stocking up?

Congratulations to you! I smoked for 48 years at about a pack a day. I tried vaping almost three years ago and have not had a cigarette since. Now instead of smelling like an ash tray, I smell like butterscotch pudding. I am loving it!

I got the innoken cool fire Iv , replaced the I sub tank within a week for the cloud beast and loved it, ended up buying my wife and I a couple baby beasts shortly after and we love them! Started out on 3 mg nicotine after my first bottle of 12 ? I think punched way too hard lol. JuSt such a life changing discovery for my wife and I both. Only wish we had tried this sooner! What a beautiful thing. All I know is within the short time I've been vaping i just feel amazing. Thanks all for the congrats and thanks to the vaping community at large for keeping up and fighting the good fight . You guys and gals are great.

Congrats! Welcome aboard. It is an amazing feeling, isn't it??? I'm so grateful I found vaping - I'd actually picked up a cigalike kit back in 2010, but it just didn't work for me. Wasn't until 2014 that I found the setup (and the mental desire) to not need cigarettes any more!
