Surprised to be a Vapor & Not a Smoker

[vapercatz]

I agree!....It is very startling to say the least!....I went to the local cash & carry to buy My pound bag of "Cool Mint" loose....(I'm having a hard time even saying the word tobacco....LOL)...and a carton of Menthol "Tubes"....Total cost...$13.99 for the....You know..And $3.95 for the Filter tubes...Total..$19.00 with sales tax....Standing in line to pay and right at Eye level was the ZigZag version of the e-cig on sale reg.$19.99 it was 20% off with a free 10.ml bottle of Your choice!....The juice runs around $4.99 so ,regular price together,$26.48 with sales tax so knock off $4.99 for the free bottle and 20% off comes to...$16.96...Out the door with a savings of...$9.52!...So It was a calling I think!...I grabbed one and put the other "junk" back....Picked the Menthol juice and its a 1.8% nic and replaced My Menthol kick I was chasing with the other junk! And I did some You Tubin' and WOW did not know about "vaping" at all! the mod box builders that are very creative too!.Where have I been the last few years...So In just one week after stopping analogs/ starting the digital thing,I have a few devices already,some store bought( a whole new meaning to THAT phrase)and some Tin type cans...But with 4 Ni- MH AAA rechargeable type,and it hits like a champ with a simple C4 Clearomizer!....Sorry for rattlin' on #4....Vapercatz....

Hi KentA, Congratulations and welcome to ECF. Lots of good stories, good suggestions and just altogether good companionship on this vaping journey. Been almost two years for me come July although it took me a few months to be totally analog free. Lots of good luck! Ginger

to ecf. Nice to meet you KentA and so glad that you are here. That story is much like my own. I was just going to save a little money. Accidentally fell in love with vaping. It's been two years since I have wanted a cigarette. Isn't it wonderful? Continued success to you and make yourself at home.

I had a similar story. My wife and I bought two mods and tanks to take with us on vacation. We had both been long time smokers, her 25 years and me 30 years at a pack+ per day, but we couldn't smoke in the rental car and couldn't smoke in the cabin we were in, so we bought the ecigs to use in those places. It took as a while longer to fully make the transition to just pure vaping, but we gradually found that we preferred vaping to cigarettes. Neither of us have smoked tobacco in well over a year now, despite the fact that neither of us had started vaping with the intent on quitting smoking.

Reading these posts makes me happy... It'd make me happier if my friends would also find switching so easy, sadly even though they've tried few different setups already, they still go back to stinkies. I'd been a smoker for five and a half years (since I was sixteen until January this year) and when I bought my first e-cig (Kanger Evod 2 with 650 mah ego) it took me few days to cut smoking completely (I wasn't actually planning on quitting, I was just curious). Now I'm vaping on a ProTank Mini3 with a Vision Spinner 2 and at home I have an iStick 50W with an Atlantis 2. I have an odd ciggie every now and then but I don't beat myself up about it - one or two cigarettes every few days is still better than 12,5 g pouch of baccy every day... I feel much better now and being able to walk up the stairs without panting is pretty cool. Good luck to all of you who are struggling to make a switch, it'll come when the time is right, don't put too much pressure on yourself, it only gets in the way! Vape on

Like you I'd smoked for years, my wife came home with a small ego style e-cig one day, tried it and asked her to pick one up for me the next time she was in town and I've never looked back.
Congratulations and happy vaping
