Smoking like crazy

[XeniaMike]

Welcome Deeo: I smoked on and off in my first couple weeks of vaping, but honestly, found vaping more flavorful and enjoyable for me so just gave up on the cigs. Doesn't hurt it is still cold outside and I don't have to go out to vape. Don't be too hard on yourself at first, just go at your own pace, you will find what works for you.

I tried quitting quite a few times and bought the tececig Revolution and it did nothing for me (almost 2 pack a day smoker back then). I bought it twice and eventually bumped up and bought the Phoenix from the store and it's like a regular ego but bigger and I had a 3ml cart on it. I didn't stop immediately but my smoking went to nothing overnight. Maybe 2 smokes a week for about 2 weeks before I quit completely.


Everything is so much better now. My taste buds are slowly but surely coming back, my sense of smell (which is fantastic) is also coming back. You never realize how much smoking effects your body until you quit and you can smell and taste things again. My wife is happier with it and now I realize how people you don't smoke feel about the smell.. It's god awful lol almost makes me want to vomit if I'm around it or even if someone comes around me that smells like smoke. Keep strong and happy vaping!

I started the the blu throw away just to see how it was. Day 3 my anolog use decreased %50. I also ordered my pv on this day. Day 6 i recieved my pv and never looked back. 2 weeks later here i am .......

I never intended to quit, but my pack & 1/2 a day habit decreased so much without even trying that for the first time in my life I felt quitting was really achiveable ... and now I am almost there.

I got stressed at the idea of quitting smoking (which made me want a cigarette!),so I did better with a gradual progression and actually always had my cigarettes on me the first couple of weeks - for me as long as the option was there, I was fine postponing having a cigarette and vaping instead. When I frantically tore my house apart looking for where I had put down the passthrough that at that time was my only ecig ... All the while knowing full well that my smokes were in my pocket ... I knew for sure this vaping thing was going to work for me!

Good luck & have fun!

I have my kit coming and Canada Post shows it should be here tomorrow. I have slowed down on my cigarettes the last few days but today i have been smoking like crazy. I am thinking this is because i have plans on giving them up. Now my body is in panic mode.

How much if any do you smoke a day with vaping? How much is safe to smoke when vaping? Has this happened to any of you where your body wanted more cigarettes as you knew your kit was coming any day?

I have not smoked a full bowl of pipe tobacco since February 9th at 10 AM. I have however had half a bowl since then, on Feb 11th at 11:37 pm, but it was the most horrible thing I've ever tasted. And I also had a couple drags of tobacco on Feb 18th in the mid afternoon but I couldn't even inhale those.

ETA: I also want to add that I think a lot of the reason it was easier for me to stop smoking is because I didn't "quit" per se. I came to vaping with the intention to switch from smoking to vaping. I think the attitude difference helped me a lot.

Quitting smoking for me has been hard as well. Tried everything from nicotine patches, gum etc. Even tried the analog e cigs different brands twice in different years but it didn't do it for me. I guess I was doing something wrong or didn't have the push. But when I came back to the Philippines, I was shocked on how big the vaping community here is. A friend lended me a spare mod and to my surprise I was cutting down on my cigs in a week!. I am now only smoking 2 cigs in the morning (with my coffee) and hopefully when my own e-cig arrives I will be cig free.

Before I found vaping, I would buy a pack of cigarettes and say "after this pack runs out, I will quit, this pack is the last one" That made me smoke the pack even faster than I normally did with the excuse that I could have as much as I want, and I should enjoy it, because it would be the last. It never was tho.
