Started vaping a few days ago...

[icyblack]

and wow, can't believe how easy it was to switch to the e-cigarette.

Been smoking for 26 years, still embarassing for me to say it but there it is. I had tried everything on the market - and i'm sure most others have as well, zero success as I have very low willpower. Seen a discussion online about the kits and how many have quit. Best $100 spent on a kit - EVOD BCC.

Took my first puff on Wednesday, haven't had the urge to smoke a real cigarette since.

Congratulations! And welcome to ECF!

welcome icyblack ... congrats on the switch to vape ... it only takes about a week to really start feeling better from not smoking.

Welcome, and so glad it's going well for you. I'm more embarassed than you, because I smoked longer than you, about 45 years! I had never even attempted to quit in all those years before I decided to go the e cig route. I am still amazed and thrilled at how easy this has been so far.

There is a saying I like - "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I think I was ready for this.

Congrats! I had a very similar experience 8 months ago.

Welcome to the forums, and congratulations!

I'm just stunned at how natural it was, weird. Maybe I hit on the right juice - it's called "Black Gold", bought everything locally in Edmonton. The black gold has the taste of tobacco, good hit to the throat and a touch of vanilla. I lit up a cigarette yesterday, took a puff but it taste so bad - I know now that i'm done. My sense of smell is driving me nuts, can't stand being in my car - which I always smoked in.

The senses coming back after a few days of quitting was amazing to me also, and the stink of walking near a smoke hole at work is overwhelming. Walking through Walmart I can pick out the smokers just passing by in the aisles.
Its truly amazing to think, Did I smell that bad also?

One of the questions people ask me is, "Were you able to quit using that thing?". When I tell them it was easy, they want information for a brother-in-law, friend, or relative. It really works! If you get a craving, just vape a little harder.

 

[HAWKEY]

Congrats and welcome! making the switch is one of the best things ive ever done! used to smoke a pack and a half a day for 10+ years and have been cigarette free since July 2012!

 

[STiZzle2010]

Congrats! I smoked for over 13 years and started vaping 3 weeks ago. Have not touched or had the desire to smoke since! I have learned that this has worked for so many on ECF and I am happy we have another success story. Keeping vaping my friend!

Congratulations!! Welcome to the new (better feeling and better smelling) world!

Christmas Eve I bought a starter kit on my way to a bar party that had recently banned smoking. I kinda liked it...

Two days later, just like you, I could not stand the taste or smell of those other things. And, I had gotten too lazy to go smoke. I just grabbed my new toy. All of a sudden, I realized that I had accidentally quit smoking... and that I smell so much better!

Hang in there. It gets better as you find new flavors and bigger toys.




Not a one since then. Even in bars that allow smoking.

Been reading some of the other threads, interesting to see the other stories.

I don't consider myself to be quit smoking, just quit the cigarettes cause i'm still addicted to nicotine. I just don't stink like an ashtray anymore. Started off with 18 mg but found it strong for the first couple of days, little on the spacey side for a bit. Now I have one e-cig with 18 mg for the morning coffee routine, and the other e-cig running 12 mg for during the day, both black gold. I've tried other juices, but the black gold is the most effective for me.

Welcome to ECF! off to a great start

Day 6, still no urge to have a cigarette...

Anyone else want their old sense of smell back?

 

[DaveOno]

You go, icyblack!!!

It was easy for me, too.

Bionic sense of smell is amazing, no? I can smell a cigarette 2 cars in front of me on a highway!!

Make sure you always have plenty of juice! Having 8 bottles on the shelf is way better than suddenly freaking out, and having to run to a store and get a bottle of some questionable juice. (I'm not even going to comment about buying a pack of smokes!!!)

And it gets better and better. Enjoy the gift of life!!!

Maybe I'm just weird, but I like to just sniff things. I feel like a Labrador Retriever sometimes, since I quit. Things that I thought were odorless before now have some complex bouquets. And don't get me started on my whiskeys! They all tasted good before, but my first sip of an 18-yr single-malt now? Mind. Blown.

The world pretty much stinks. Coffee is my other big addiction, and it doesn't taste right anymore.
I have 4 bottles of extra juice in the case, should do me for a while.


Atimmer, been trying to avoid liqour for the first week at least, i'm a lover of rye wiskey and bourbons - kind of nervous about that changing. Taste of beer hasn't changed much.
