Smoke free after 46 years

[Stormynights]

I have been a heavy smoker for 46 years. I didn't even realize how long it had been till I sat down today and counted it up.
I have tried many times to quit but I gained weight and went back to smoking. It was just too hard for me to quit. I tied everything. Then I heard about ecigarettes. I bought a smokeless delite. It gave me hope but wasn't the answer. After I found this forum I got a 510. Wow. I have real hope now. I bought some juice. I thought since I smoked light cigarettes I needed light juice. I was wrong. Then I went to 24. It still didn't keep the urge to smoke away. I was happy that I had cut down but I wanted to be smoke free. I ordered 36 but it wasn't the real deal. It was very week. I finally got some real 36. Now I have no urge to smoke at all. I lit a cigarette just to see if I was missng anything and I couldn't wait to put it out. I don't have the urge to snack either. I am so happy. I think I may even lose weight.

They weight loss thing is what I am looking forward to..since I don't smoke in my house, while I am studying my college crap, I would fix a bowl of popcorn, m&m's, or what ever I could get my hands on. Now with this e-cig thing, I don't have to snack..just sit down with a glass of tea and little smoke juice and vape away....glourious.
Congrates on finding something that works for you. I know I have sliced my habit from a a pack a day to 5...and working on cutting that down to 1 if any.

It is really amazing after all those years, isn't it?

Congrats stormy!! From experience the first step was the hardest, made easier by the ever improving technology of e-cigs. My long term plan is to gradually reduce my nic intake to zero, a forseeable future for the first time in 18 years. Stick with it, a pretty steep learning curve at first but you`ve got all the help you need on this forum

It was so easy for me. Just getting the right ecig and the right juice and enough batteries. My husband says he can't do this because it makes him cough. I don't know what he is doing wrong.

congrats Stormy
i'm on my way there
i'm just waiting for my juice supply to be delivered

i bought an Evo with some carts just to try ecigs and liked it
2 days later i ordered more atomizers, batteries, 801s and juice
10 days later now, i'm still waiting for the juice

Stormynights, I just want to say that I am in awe of what you've done, and I know how hard it is, but I think it would be impossible without e-cigs. Congrats!

It`s not for everyone , but has hubby tried the non PG liquid? Johnsons Creek offer an alternative so maybe he`s allergic to PG, my Dad was the same and he gets along with this. Intellicig also offer what they call Ecopure (again with non PG) I`ve just ordered some so I can`t give comment as of yet

Congrads, Stormy. I'm right behind you. I'm hoping to accomplish the same thing.

Really nice to see someone quit. I wish you the best. I had to start out at 36 my self.

Kudos Stormy! I know I had to play around with nic levels too, happy to say almost 2 months smoke free for me. Too bad I didn't know sooner

I finally got some real 36. Now I have no urge to smoke at all.

What real 36 did the trick? Good luck in the future.

I never thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion.

True Vapor. I like the coffee.

Welcome to vaping stormy! I may ultimately quit vaping but for now I'm enjoying the PV's. And for sure this forum is priceless when it comes to information and also good for more than a few laughs!

 

[Flowersoul]

Oh yes.........I was a smoker for 46 years until two weeks ago today.

My intention was to wean off of the ciggies, but lo and behold, I did not want a cigarette after I tried my Vapor King. Had 6 cigarettes left the day my Vapor King arrived, and that was the end of it.

I was shocked to think that all those years trying to quit and being miserable along with gaining weight that this e-cig came into my life and I quit cigarettes just like 'that'. No withdrawal, I'm pleasant to be around and....ah well, you all know the benefits..........

I am so grateful that a friend introduced me to vaping!

Congrads for being off the analogs. I guess everyone is different on what it takes to feel comfortable. I got some Medium (11mg) juice from myvaporstore, and it about knocks me out if I take the type of drag I see in most of the videos. I was a 1 1/2 pack a day menthol light smoker for about 35 years.

I have a 901, and this thing gives me all the vapor I want,,, but I love it!! I'm not analog free just yet, but I will be!!

Great Stormy

I quit after smoking for 35years and I tried everything!!!! It took about a week for me. I would bum one every once in a while,but they taste so nasty!!!

My son and husband always hated riding in the car with me,and I always smoked in the basement or outside now I can puff away anywhere. I love it.
