Hello all! I'm new here (obviously) and just thought I'd share my story. Currently 26 and been smoking analog since I was 16. My dad smoked even longer than that and quit last year in May. He started vaping with ego sticks and moved his way to tanks and drippers and now loves his flasks. I asked him if he could show me where to get a decent ecig. Next thing I know I have 100s of dollars worth of his old stuff. It took me about 3-4 weeks to actually give it a try. Now I've been hardcore into vaping for about 2 weeks, and what to you know, I HATE cigarettes now. It's amazing! Every now and then I try and smoke a cig in the morning after my coffee. It's always been a habit of mine. Each day the amount of puffs I take gets shorter and shorter. I've gone from 10-20 cigs a day down to less than one in a matter of weeks, and I couldn't be happier. I really have my dad to thank for all of this. And in a way all of you guys as well! He's been a member here for a while now, and has learned a plethora of information from this wonderful community. Anyways I'm glad to be here now and know that there will be plenty more info I'll learn and friends I'll make. I guess that's it. See you in the forum!

:D

Thanks for the love guys!

One of my coworkers vapes an ego stick and after we went to my dad's and showed him the power of true vaping, he hates his current setup and wants a dripper lol. Another coworker that I used to take breaks and smoke with all the time is now taking Chantix (bleh) but doesn't vape. Either way he's helping me quit too. One of my newest coworkers happened to be a dripper himself and showed me an amazing local shop where they make their juice on the spot. You get to pick how much VG/PG you want as well as custom nic levels! They'll even do 1.5mg if you want! When I first walked in I could barely see the cashier it was so cloudy lol. I really love the "atmosphere."

Congratulations on weening yourself off! I thought it was amazing how easy of a transformation it was from cigarettes to vapes!

Same here! I thought I'd never quit. Not because I didn't think I could, but more so because I didn't want to. Now I know there's no way I'd ever be able to convert with just a simple little ego stick setup that you find in most local vape shops, because I tried that and it went into storage hours later with me immediately smoking analogs again. I love how you guys call them analogs btw, genius!

And even when I got my first mech mod with a dripper from my dad, it took me about a week or so to really start getting into it. But at the end of that week, when I would crave a regular cigarette, as I was smoking it, all I could think about was craving the vape even more. Occasionally I still get that analog crave, but what I do now is just step outside for a minute or two and vape to keep that urge at bay and it works wonders!

It's definitely an amazing thing, and I'm confident that I will never smoke another cigarette again. Especially with the support of the millions of members on this fantastic community we have going here!

Vape on! \m/:evil:\m/
