Thanks for all of the support.

When people used to ask why I did not quit smoking my standard answer was "I hate quitters" which usually resulted in a laugh. I could always quit when I wanted to but never really wanted to because believe it or not I enjoyed smoking. I only smoked between a half pack to a full pack per day but really enjoyed smoking but did not like having to go outside or feeling bad smoking in front of others. I used to consider myself a non-smokers smoker. Now I do not feel as bad when I vape. I enjoy the flavors and also it is a decent replacement for the feel and the enjoyment of that horrible "real smoke".

In my previous marketing position I was over a large chain of convenience stores and received many e-cig samples prior to them being released to the public. They were a pain and did not tast good at all so I was not an early adopter to e-cigs. Now I wish I had! All that time has passed and the tech has grown where you get a true replacement for the feeling of smoking with enjoyable flavors, Healthier, clothes dont stink and no bad feelings about smoking in front of others. The real test will be this coming week. I will be in Vegas from the 1st through the 5th with my vape pen and my two sons. One of them still smokes!!!

I am ready to take on the New Year!

Here is wishing each and everyone a Very Happy New Year!!

I'm not far ahead of you in gaping exclusively but I hardly think about cigs except when I smell them on break at work but a quick vape satisfies the craving.

i was that way for about the first 4 months,and suddenly i could not stand the smell of a cig or an ashtray. i couldn't believe i ever thought that smelled good! that's when i knew the 40 year love affair was completely over (thank God). best of luck.

Having backups is clearly the way to go. You can not only change flavors at a whim, but you will also have peace of mind when that switch on the relatively new piece of equipment decides that it was defective after all. Sure, you can get it replaced, but with the backup, you have something to vape with until you get the replacement!

Congratulations, I've been smoke free for a year and a half, and actually got my dad to quit cold turkey 3 months ago! Since your new to this I would recommend eventually getting an ipv mini which is capable of producing up to 30 watts and will cost you 50-70 bucks depending on where you buy it
(myvaporstore has it for $53.76 ). A great tank is an aspire Atlantis (ask your local vape shop about this, you may need a different battery) and another thing you may want to look into is an rda or re disignable atmozier (also ask your local vape shop about this). I hope this helped!

Good to hear it is going well for you, daoliv! Keep it up! That reminded me of my response when told I should quit: "It's the one thing I do well, let's not mess with it!" (only I didn't use "mess with it"!)

Thanks! Now on day 7. Had a couple of times that the analog called my name but I do not have any. There are zero analogs in my house and vehicles. They yelled pretty loud because the store is at least a mile and a half away. Anyway still no analog in 7 days and vaping on som kiwi strawberry right now. I was using Desert and Ry4 but not really liking those anymore so I'll have to give those to someone who wants or needs them. I do have 6 flavors on the USPS truck out for delivery today so I should be set for a while. I guess the real test will be tomorrow. I am flying out to Vegas for a few days!!!
