Starting my journey

Boy, I'll say I'm on my way! Day 2, no cigs touched! I find I do crave it more than a vape after meals, but I tried switching yesterday, and the cig was doing nothing for me. Only took like 3 drags before putting it out. I think this has really done it. The switch over was really easy. Only thing now, stupid as it sounds, I'm rather self concious about whipping it out in public. I don't really see anyone vaping, and it feels sorta weird. Just one of those things that I'll get over with time I'm sure. But I did spend most of my day sitting in a classroom taking a course for my relatively new job, and I barely felt any nic fits at all! I'm sure I coulda gone the whole day without vaping, but I still did take my opportunities on breaks to do so . Usually by then I'd be dying for a cig though

Grats on the switch over Many of us have cheated with cigs when starting, and then we find that they aren't what we remembered being....instead nasty things. I myself feel kind of weird vaping in public, since I've never seen anyone do it in my town. I was waiting in the car the other day in the store parking lot, and some lady was giving we weird looks. Not being a person who likes confrontations, I felt kind of strange about it.

I can't speak for you, but for myself it took a little while to go public with it. Funny, I live in the city and have not seen another vaper yet. We walk everywhere and I don't even try to hide it. I do find that I palm the tank when walking by kids, I think that is just common sense.

Grats man! Good luck, we can do this.....vape on

I unfortunately caved on my way to the grocery store. It's quite a long walk and I left my second battery at home to let it fully charge. .....................

just a note, the general consensus here is to not leave your batteries charging unless you at home and awake. there have been some issues with batteries and chargers "exploding" you can search the forum for exploding, I think several threads will come up.

Glad to hear it's not just me lol. I guess give it time and I'll become accustomed to just smoking it in public. I have however thought that some less educated people might see me vaping and assume it's "other stuff" lol. Good news I suppose is that half the store I work at (small store lol) has started vaping in the last little bit. Actually they were a big influence on why I started looking into it in the first place. I'm sure that'll help a lot.
And wow cags, thanks for the heads up! I've a cat and I'd hate for her to get injured while I'm not around. Or set our apartment on fire...

Great it sounds like you're well on your way. Yes I don't get the "drive me up a wall" nic cravings that I got when I smoked. As for batteries I ALWAYS charge mine while I'm at home or put them on a timer. 6 months ago I had a charger that failed and continued to charge/ overheat the battery. Luckily I was home and noticed the overheating.
