I started smoking cigarettes when I was about 15 or 16 years old. I'm now 32. I tried quitting a couple times, once at the behest of a girlfriend, once to get in shape for the police academy. Both quitting experiences were miserable to endure and didn't last long. It seemed as if all I could think about was how badly I needed a cigarette. It literally consumed my thoughts during every waking minute. I had convinced myself that I enjoyed smoking enough to negate any justification for quitting.
A few weeks ago, a coworker mentioned to me that he'd switched to an electronic cigarette and hadn't smoked in over a month. I didn't think much of his story at first; I had tried the disposables from 7-11 in the past and wasn't impressed at all. He then explained to me how the type he was using (he happened to be using a Joye eGo-C Twist) was totally different from the e-cigarettes I was familiar with. He offered up his eGo to me for a few drags to give me a sense of what a quality e-cig felt and tasted like.
Whoa...I was blown away.
The vapor mimicked the sensation in the back of the throat that a tobacco cigarette gave me, which I later discovered is referred to as "throat hit". It tasted like vanilla, not a dirty ashtray. It was shiny and had lights (I'm easily amused).
After work that day, I googled e-cig stores and found one on the way home from work. I stopped by, got myself an eGo-C Twist kit and a couple bottles of juice. My love for vaping had begun.
I went into the world of vaping half-thinking that It'd be supplementary to my tobacco habit. I didn't believe that puffing on this gizmo, pleasurable as it was, would tear me away from tobacco. Within two days, however, I found myself with zero desire to smoke a cigarette. It was a bizarre feeling to lack the urge to smoke.
Long story longer, I haven't had a cigarette in almost three weeks. I'm constantly amazed by how effortless quitting was. My wife, who also smoked, has since quit using the matching eGo-C Twist I got her.
Thanks.

But there's so many shiny new toys!
