Hello everyone.
Just signed up as a member since I owe all of you my gratitude.
A friend recently introduced my wife and I to the world of e-cigs.
My wife and I are 30+ year smokers and I have been smoking 1.5 packs a day for longer than I care to remember. I have tried almost everything in the last 5 years to kick the habit and have been unsuccessful. I was considering trying hypnotism since nothing else has worked for one reason or another.
The wife likes smoking so she wasn't real hip on the idea of trying the e-cig option with me but agreed to give it a shot.
I have OCD when it comes to researching and can go for weeks before I make purchasing decisions. It drives the wife crazy but she readily admits that my compulsive behavior keeps my costly errors and mistakes to a minimum.
Anyway, I Google searched for information about ecig hardware, e-liquids, DIY recipes, and all things e-cig. I noticed a pattern develop quickly- all of the info I was looking for I found right here.
So here I am, 5 weeks after being introduced to e-cigs with 2.5 weeks of initial research. I have been analog free for 2 weeks with a large DIY order on the way from Wizard Labs. I have already been able to cut my nic from 24 to 18 while remaining friendly and tolerable. The wife is down to 3 analogs a day and enjoys vaping so I believe she can also kick the habit as well. Even though I wasn't able to ask questions, I was helped by these forums immensely and have reached a goal that I was unable to reach with meds, patches, and gum. I know I shall have many more questions but you all got me on my way with the vast amount of knowledge available here.
Having said that, THANK YOU ALL!
