Quit date

[rmgbatista]

Hi,

Exactly one year from today, it'll be one year since I stopped smoking. This sounds better than saying that I quitted today, doesn't it?

Well, today was not easy neither it'll be tomorrow, but I hope I make it.

Thank you all for your support since I've joined ECF.

 

[Jason McRoy]

You can make it! It will get easier. When you want a smoke- just vape!

Good luck and let us know how it's going.

-Jason

Ha. That does sound pretty cool....LOL. Just hang in there and before you know it a year will have flown by. I quit two years ago....it'll get easier and easier and easier as you go. Make sure you're vaping a high enough nicotine level to curb the cravings. If today was not easy, maybe you should increase your nicotine a little.

Good luck and in a year from today, we'll be celebrating your one year anniversary of being cigarette free!

 

[Jaymzifer]

You can do it! Like Jason said: Just vape when you want to smoke, you will gradually get there. Look at me, I am not that far into my life without tobacco but I'm taking day by day.

Happy 2 year to JC too!

 

[Gloria]

That's a great way to look at it!

Keep that great attitude and just vape yourself silly if you have to. Every day will be easier than the last.

Wishing you success on your vaping journey!

Hi, I am 2 weeks today anolog free, my ego 1300 was delivered on the 16th and not touched tobacco since,
totally surprised after smoking for 26 years, and i really have not wanted to "light up" been chain vaping though

 

[rmgbatista]

It's now my 2nd day not smoking. Been vaping a 24mg liquid but is being even harder than yesterday.
Lots of sweat and bad temper
For their sake, I hope that tomorrow at work my colleagues will be nice to me

 

[WickedSick]

What kind of device are you using?
How many packs of cigarettes did you smoke per day?

Unless you smoked over 2 packs, 24mg should be strong enough that you shouldn't be having too much trouble.

Another alternative is that you are using an inferior device which is not doing a good job of delivering the nicotine.

Are you getting a lot of vapor, like you see on YouTube reviews?
Or are you just getting little wisps of vapor?

Congrats on quitting. It does get better.

I'm using a eGo with the Vision eGo clearomizar at home and a SD keyring with Boge cartos when I'm away from home.

I thing I'm getting good vapor but I'm trying to avoid vaping too much and getting a headache caused by a nicotine overdose... Am I being to cautious?

 

[Napolean Complex]

Congrats on Quitting! Im Personally on Day 26.

If you haven't gotten a headache yet then yes.


You may be overestimating how much nicotine vaping provides.
You can add and subtract all the numbers you want, but we don't know the absorption rate for vaping yet.

So in the meantime, get enough nicotine so that you aren't struggling...
And if you get too much, your body will let you know, and then you will know.

I quit 6 months ago and love vaping more than I ever did smoking. As long as they don't ban it!!!!!! I found my new fix

My wife started vaping today and was getting crazy headaches. Could be a reaction to the PG or ... as I watched her vape, could be because she was treating it like an analog - taking huge forceful drags. I learned right out of the gate fortunately, that getting your nic doesn't mean huge hard drags.

I don't know how the egos work (new to it all), but you might be hitting it too soft. Hang in there. Vaping is not smoking. It is a different beast altogether. A good one though.

Since you mentioned that you are using two different devices, are you getting more of a nic fit with one or the other?

 

[JC Okie]

Don't be tooooo cautious. If you start getting a headache, THEN back off. But here at the beginning, you need to make sure your body is getting as much nicotine as it needs to not crave cigarettes. At first, I vaped ALL day long. You can cut back later but for now, vape, vape, vape. That's my advice. If you get a headache, you could cut back the nicotine (to 18 mg) and still vape all day long. At this point, it's about tricking your body and your mind into believing that it's getting what it wants. And....it's not just about the nicotine, either. The habit of smoking is as strong as the craving of nicotine. Let your hands and mouth have fun. You can worry about cutting back and backing off when you're a little more in control of the habit that has been controlling you. Good luck.

3rd day and much better today.
Less cravings and less stress. Maybe because work made me think in other things?

And most of the time I was vaping a 18mg menthol...

 

[Tracker1861]

Congrats on making the move to quit. Like you, I just started vaping last Wednesday and layed down the cigs..........hopefully for good. So far I have not missed them because I feel as though I am getting enough from my 24mg juice. Keep on keeping on...........I know I'm going to give it my best shot as well.

5 days without smoking.... I'm close to break my record, and I'm still alive...

At home I'm using a ego battery with the stardust and don't even thing about cigarettes. But at work is a different story. I use a SD Keyring with Boge cartos and I feel I need something else. I'm not a big fan of cartos...

I'm thinking about getting something more powerful to take to work, but I really need it to be small. I think my ego is to big to carry in my pants pockets...
I was thinking about the Super-T P+18350. Is expensive but beautiful.

So, i need a "mini mod" and, as long as it keep me from smoking, I don't mind paying as much as 150€.
Keeping in mind that size is very important to me, what do you think I should buy?

 

[Kiralina]

Give Provari mini a try. It worked for me ( 4 months smoke free). And if you don't mind making wicks and coils try a genesis atty. Maybe you have a friend that has one, so you can try before buying.
