As long as you stay off the analogs, no matter what you're doing now, it's better.

I went off nic right away and stayed off for about a year. Mainly because I was 60 and had some health problems developing. Nicotine does constrict the arteries so it was sort of a necessary thing. I won't say it was easy. Surprising my hearing even improved!!!
Life got a bit hectic so I started using a little here and there and will continue because it does help but it's 0 most of the time.

Even if you don't reach where I'm at don't beat yourself up over it.

I've got a plan to be back down to 0 nic by the time I'm 60 too..

In all seriousness though, I was able to drop the nic completely about 2 months after switching to vaping. I stayed that way for about a month and half and then realized that my juices just did not taste the same at 0 nic. Figured that 10 - 12 mg was not doing much harm anyway, and bumped it back up so that I could continue to enjoy the juices. I was a Benson & Hedges Ultra-mild smoker at a pack a day. Switched the day I got my eGo kit.

((hugs)) Dusty !!!! How is the family visit going ??

Absolutely wonderful. My 3.5 year old has taken GrandMa and GrandPa swimming today. She's keeping them entertained while my wife and I are at work.

I started out with a Smoke 51. It really wasn't terrible but was expensive and back then the cartridges weren't refillable. Well not totally true--could do it but they got pretty messy on the outside.
Then onto the RN4081 (didn't have the choices of today) and with a box mod matched with the atty, it wasn't all that bad. I still use the atty for dripping.
I also found the DSE102 and for a mini it was pretty good. But went to modding it too because of the short battery life.
Donated all this model stuff to a good cause because I switched to 510 stuff because it's more all around compatible.

Anyway back on track here. I had absolutely no intent of quitting analogs. I got my first ecig to use while visiting my daughter in NC. I didn't take an analog with me and I was there three weeks. By the time I was headed home the worst of it was over and I knew I could quit. Something I dearly wanted to do, tried to do several times, but had long ago concluded I probably would never do.

Both my wife and I were a pod + smokers. I found this forum, did some research,and orderd 2 eGo kits from Janty. When they came in on August 2nd of 2010, we tried the eGo's and neither one of us has had an analog since.

I worked for the largest sailboat mfg in the world, Beneteau USA , for twenty years as the aftersales manager. I've had probably more than my fair share. used to keep one here in Little Rive, and one in Roadtown Tortola.
