Thanks to everyone!!!!!
I'm feeling fanstastic. I smell better (literally and to others!), my
sense of taste is amazing and I can actually breathe under exertion. It took several months before I started seeing dramatic improvement.
I know I only have 50 posts. I'm much more of a reader than a commentor. I've spent a lot of time reading everyone else's posts and it's really helped me to have a place like this forum to go and read what other's are experiencing.
For all of you out there that are still struggling or "sneaking" analogs - I say this - hang in there. It took me a while of continuing to smoke while
vaping. I didn't just pick up my first e-cig and quit smoking right away. I've read many posts from people who said they quit immediately - I wasn't one of them. I had to grit my teeth and dig in with determination.
The really good news is - it gets easier.
One strange thing about my experience - as a smoker I hated menthol cigarettes. But the vape that got me off analogs was menthol and it's what I vape about 90% of time now. (Yes - I still vape and I have no idea if I will ever quit
vaping. Too soon to tell.)
I smoked 2+ packs of cigs every day for 34 years.
The freedom as a non-smoker is truly worth the difficult journey.
P.S.
I'm now officially a bloody expert on the DSE 901 mini. It's the only model I've ever vaped!
