The Cavemans Quest To QUIT lol

[caveman]

Hello all

some of you may find this post boring and useless but just ignore it then haha jk

Basically i thought it would be a cool idea to document my attempt to quit analogs and go straight vape from now on...and you guys can make sure i dont slip up

Well my DSE901 should be here by the end of the week and i CANNOT wait haha

Just thought this post might bring some of you back to the excitement and anticipation of waiting for your first ecig...first vape...first day of vaping...first day of nooooo analogs (pretty excited for this one....etc

if this post is a waste of space feel free to delete it lol i wouldnt mind

Hey caveman!

I don't know how many of the old conversations you've read around here but you would find that there are several of us, me included, who bought this thing without any intention of quitting smoking and it just happened on its own. Quite a miracle, to me and I think that speaks to what a help this thing is if you truly want to quit. My very first day with it, I only smoked about 4 cigs, instead of a pack and a half. After a few days of that, I decided to give quitting a try and I cut back to one or two a day. A couple of weeks later, I gave it up for good. It's hard to believe, to me. I had smoked for about 25 years!

Best of luck to you, and yes, I'm sure all of us here can relate to the excitement of getting our first one delivered and trying it out.

thanks

yea it might take me awhile after getting it to quit
ive been smoking a pack a day at least since i was 14 (i know horrible but i worked on a farm and those old guys got me hooked haha) so thats five years and i generally smoke Marlboro blend 27's so i think those are considered semi strong

my friends were absolutely shocked that i plan on quiting i was always the one who never even tried to quit haha ill show them

Not a waste of space at all, caveman.

Oh yes I remember the excitement & anticipation...good times!
Actually I still feel that when I order something new, like a liquid lol.

Welcome to the forum and best of luck to you in your quest!

You can do it bro !

I did I smoked 3 packs a day and ever since vaping I have not picked up one since !!!

I smoked a pack a day or more for 20 years. Got my first e-cig two weeks ago and havn't smoked an analog in four days. Almost totally painless. A few times I yearned for a real ciggy but I just pulled out some high nic juice and puffed till the urge went away.

For the first time since I was 16 years old I feel like I have a fighting chance to quit tobacco and eventually nicotine as well. The longest I have gone without tobacco before now is 20 hours (and every second of it was pure hell). I realize that this e-cig thing is probably not good for me but I honestly believe that it is an improvement over breathing the smoke from burning leaves soaked in chemicals- and as more research and R&D is done e-cigs will only get safer.

This method of nicotine delivery also has the advantage of slowly stepping down the dose. You can very carefully reduce the nicotine in your own e-liquid by very small increments. You don't even have to smoke less often! Imagine taking a year to get down to very low dosage, eventually you'd be vaping pure PG! At that point it should be easy to lose interest in it all together...

Go for it Caveman! I am right here with you on your quest.

Good luck! Not 'boring and useless' at all, one of the things I love about this forum is all the real life, realtime quit stories. It's all very encouraging!

All that's stopping me right now is having a good menthol substitute - once I have that should be laughing, these things rock! Go for it!

...

me too, why? i never had that excitement with analogs....

I remember back in June (may have been May I can't remembers) when I quit, I actually quit for the first month using Big Pharma's patches when I discovered ecigs. When I was on those patches I still enjoyed the smell of analogues but since vaping the ecig for a month or 2 BLEEEH!!! That must mean that I now don't care much at all for the burning tobacco even if someone bought me a pack by accident I would not be tempted and give them away. Now all I need to do is give up the ecigs or go down to no nic but I like the throat hit high nic gives me! Lets hope someone invents a whollop throat hit with no nicotine whatsoever needed!!

I like vaping more than I liked smoking tobacco - and I loved smoking tobacco, so much that I did it for 35 years. Haven't smoked tob now since early Oct 08 - which is v.nice. Good luck!

The day I got my my penstyle from puresmoker I quit. I finished my pack and haven't looked back.

I've got a dovetail to your question: I've found myself able to "social smoke" (i.e., smoke when drinking) and smoke cigars occasionally. The difference between trying to quit smoking w/out e-cigs and now is I don't feel the need/urge to smoke again the next morning.

I can have a tobacco cigarette or two during a football night, then not think about smoking afterwards (as long as I have my e-cig).

Anyone else found this to be true?

Quitting Shouldnt be a problem, i think the ecigs make you hate the taste of real smoking to be honest... My throat burned for 2 days when i slipped up on my 3rd day... its not like day 35 or something for me...

 

[caveman]

yea its been 5 days and i had one puff of a real cig it was disgusting........i do have cravings and its still pretty tough but theres 5 days down and the rest of my life to go
