Still in a bit of disbelief

Congratulations!!

I was surprised at how easy it was as well. I only wish I would have discovered vaping a lot earlier.

Congratulations, I too was a PAD smoker for 30 years. Even after 7 stents, three heart attacks AND open heart surgery I STILL smoked. Then February 4, 2012 I got my first e-cig and have never looked back. Only one time since has the slightest of a craving creeped in. It lasted every bit of 30 seconds and it was gone. Since then, my wife and 4 others have quit analogs and started vaping.

Now the next step is every single person who has commented in this thread and told their story MUST join CASAA, if you haven't already. Tell your story!! Tell OUR story!!

Same thing happened with my girlfriend. She had been vaping for 3 days, but couldn't let go of cigs right away like I had. On the morning of the third day, I casually asked her if she'd had her cig yet (I wasn't pressuring her even though I had been off the stinkies for a month) and she said "I lit one, but put it out after two drags." I asked her why and she just lifted her eGo with the Vivi Nova and pomegranate juice, shrugged and replied, "It didn't taste like pomegranates at all."

She hasn't had another cig since, and we're both smoke-free and happier/healthier than ever!

Wow, that's quite a story. Good for you for giving up the stinkies. If you don't mind my asking, I'm wondering what your Doctor has to say about you quitting and now vaping. I haven't seen my Doc since I started vaping and I'm not sure what to expect.

Thanks, my cardiologist blessed my vaping and said even if it contained nicotine it was all good. It's not the nicotine that's so bad for you. He agreed when I told him these were the greatest thing ever invented. My blood pressure is down, blood test perfect, it's been three years since my surgery and my last visit he was asking me about symptoms and I kept saying, no, no, no as he read them off. He finally said come on give me something to write down or I'm not gonna need to see you anymore. Good luck with your visit

It is just astounding! amazing! Like some secret weapon that needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Exactly!

Welcome quitters to the wonderful world of vaping! Congrats to everyone who has given up the aweful habit!



Its been 54 days for me. I still cant believe I haven't smoked a stinky for that long. I was a 2PAD smoker for 30 years.

I still keep the 8 unopened packs in the last carton on the counter top. I did carry a pack of unopened smokes around for about a week. Not anymore! Now I make sure I have plenty of batteries. The last few days I smoked I would write on the pack of smokes how many I smoked and the date. I still have the last pack here I posted that on Facebook on day 30. I honestly thought I would never be able to say that I don't smoke.

ECF is a great forum. Love the quitting stories.
Vape ON

Same here. Nothing else worked without me climbing the walls. My only hope was a medically induced coma or vaping.

I never touched or crave a smoke after my first PV and bottle of juice. Im almost ready to drop down another nic level just so i can enjoy vaping more and the nic less.

It was my son's friends that got me into vaping .....and I got a friend (non-smoker) hooked too!
