Ready to make the switch...

[Pharein]

G'day all,

So I'm chattin' to a friend online and mention I've been a smoker for twenty years and need to give up, but won't as I've tried a number of times previously... and failed. Patches, gum, etc. are a waste of time as the physical experience is a major contributing factor to my addiction. Plus cold turkey is my usual means of attempting to quit which is probably why I can't.

She asks me, "So have you tried e-ciggies?"

I respond, "What are those?" (I may be wrong but there doesn't seem to be much of a scene down here in NZ. Almost non-existent.)

Long story short, I do the research, eventually end up here, and after reading everything I possibly can, am fully convinced this is the solution. As a vaping virgin, so to speak, I've jumped straight in the deep end and sprung for a provari. It seems to meet all my perceived needs anyway, so i'm skipping all this starter kit carry-on.

Wish me luck.

p.s. Encouragement and advice is greatly appreciated, especially from my fellow kiwis.

Welcome to the forum and Good Luck on your journey...

Thanks wendalib. Looking forward to trying all these flavors. It's like being a kid in a candy store with a lot more pocket money at your disposal.

I'm a Kiwi but I live in China now. You will quit smoking very easily and you will love vaping so much better than smoking. Analogs taste vile now. After a month of vaping you will be disgusted by the taste of real cigs.

I've been using an eGo for almost a year, it's good. My Silver Bullet should be in my hands any day now.

There is also the KiwiVapers forum if you are interested. It's very small but it will grow as more Kiwis make the switch.

Welcome and good luck.

Welcome and all the best. Vaping is fun...

 

[carpedebass]

Congrats to you on your decisions. I hear the Provari is a great PV. Stay in touch and feel free to ask questions...there are no dumb ones!

 

[Iffy]

Provari?!?! Well, if you can't convert to vaping, at least it won't be due to your PV. That's an awesome unit.

Best of luck to ya!

Hello and welcome! I have a Provari, which I also got within my first month of vaping, imported from the US! Great mod, actually using it right now! You will not be disappointed! Just stick with it and keep experimenting with flavours, at ties, carto's etc, you will find something that works for you!

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Good luck to you and as others have stated lots of valuable info here from some very top notch folks.

WOW, starting off with a vari, good pick. I just got mine less than a week ago and I love it. Currently digging the crystalclearvaping resurrector cartomizer on it @ 3.8-3.9v depending on the juice (and yes I know on the site it says only for 3.7v).

Best of luck with the switch. The biggest challenge is NOT looking at analog as the same anymore. It's really easy to just say "I'll just have one" and all of the sudden it's better than the e-cig....

 

[DC2]

Well, you got a ProVari, so you've already NAILED the hardware aspect of this transition.
Now you just need to work on finding the juice that's going to make you happy.


Good luck, and welcome!!

I quit analogues (actual cigarettes) about a week ago. Honestly, I don't think I could have lasted this long without using vaporizer as replacement.

Thanks for the support everyone.

Got my provari today (16th) ordered on the 11th. Super quick for shipping to NZ! so thumbs up to that. Got a problem though. Now I have to wait for the rest of my supplies to arrive: E-juices from VaporGod. J-tank, cartos, etc from ElectronicStix. Redilast batts to come. Honestly, I can't wait to start. I'm keen as and already I'm starting to resent analogs knowing this is what I've been missing out on.

Initial costs are starting to mount up, but hey, what price do you put on your health, right? I wouldn't hesitate to drop 20 on a pack nearly every day so I don't care what it will cost. I wanted to start tomorrow as it's my birthday on the 17th. Would've been an awesome present to myself!

Nicko, cheers for the heads-up. I'll head over there and intro myself.

Cotty77, got a swag of stuff coming so I hope I've managed to cover all the bases.

Alright, back to the forums. I want to glean as much info as I can out of y'all while I wait.

woohoo provari I love mine, start up cost is high but look at it this way you wont need another PV (unless you just want a spare which is good to have maybe you should get a spare something) you skipped over all the mediocre egos, rivas 510 kits 808s and went straight for one of the best which saved you a lot of money. happy vaping you'll be an ex cigarette smoker in no time

 

[hairball]

I wish most people could do what you did and get a VV mod. You picked an excellent PV. Good luck to you and welcome to ECF.

A spare is something I haven't considered. Maybe I should. I spend a good amount of the day driving. Do you vape while driving? Could you (or anyone else for that matter) recommend something or a setup to vape with?

 

[Cyberpixie]

Wow, you're so lucky to have gone for the best of the best straight off. With all the rubbish starter kits I tried I could have bought two Provaris by now lol (and I still don't even have one!). Good luck but with a Provari I'm sure you wont need it!
