I know it's already been stated, but this thread does give a lot of hope to those of us who are still waiting for their device to come in the mail. I've had constant little nagging thoughts all day today about how I just wasted my money, even though I knew this was the right choice for me and the perpetual phlegm resting in my chest. This thread is what xanax is to a panic attack; placating.

WOW! Over 320 replies! I gotta admit, I am proud to have started this thread. I didnt even REALIZE the "value" of it, until it evolved. I think my thread deserves a STICKY, dont yall? :toast:

I'll second the STICKY! Thank you Texas, it is great to read all these posts :)

Almond, you made the right choice! Vape away and get used to your new life...and don't kick yourself if you have an analog when you need one. A lot of us didn't kick the sticks right away. Welcome to your new home and support group!

Thanks! This whole entire site has truly been a great help. I've been shuffling through the boards for this past week before ordering, and I truly would have been at a loss without it. I really hope I like it though because every day that it's not here, I end up ordering more ejuice :rolleyes:

And again to the thread, a little validation goes a long way. texastumbleweed, this really was a good thread idea and I appreciate it.

Almond, I have absolutely NO DOUBT that you're gonna love vaping....I can't imagine any smoker NOT loving it. Really. I can't wait to read some of your posts after you get your new toy....be sure to let us know what you think after you've had a chance to play with it for a little while.

I didn't even set out to quit smoking....I just wanted something to supplement the expensive cigs. I had absolutely no idea I'd quit within a week! Everyone who knows me can't believe it. Heck, I still almost can't believe it!!!

Because I have a cat who seems to live for knocking my ashtray to hell and back, I'll be glad for no more overturned ashtrays on the couch or rug. No more cig butts to empty into the trash, no more wrappers said cat loves to play with either.

Can't wait for my package.

Mailman stalking is lesson 1 in vaping!! And it's so easy to learn LOL

I actually really LOVE having my 15 year old wanting to sit with me and my husband!!!!!

Oh I'm a mailman stalker from way back! I do small press publishing as well as my own writing, and always on the lookout for packages, and books. My mail carrier knows me a bit too well.

well, they can pick me out of a police line up anyway. :D
 
alright, this might sound gross. but my nicotine fix was more important then proper dental care. i have lost two teeth because of this. i would not brush my teeth in the morning because i didn't want to taste of toothpaste to interfere with the taste of my morning smoke or dip. and i would have a dip in my mouth right up until I went to bed. sometimes i would go a month or more with out brushing, yeah i know gross. but my smokes and dip was more important. well since i started vaping, not only have my teeth gotten whiter, my gums have a health color to them. because the tase of toothpaste doesn't effect the taste of my vapor as much,i now can brush everynight and every morning.my mouth feels better, my teeth are brighter and i can now smile with out grossing someone out. i know this turned into a long post but it really explains my little pleasure from vaping. not being afraid to smile.

my wife was always on me about smoking and how bad it was for me and my teeth. about a week after I dropped analogs I had 4 lower front teeth removed (makes it real hard to eat corn on the cob!)
she is so happy that I quit smoking and I feel a lot better.
my only concern is this... what do they put in e-juice that makes gas (you know what I'm talking about!) smell so bad?!:D

I still consider myself a noob and have really enjoyed reading this thread, most posts are like a reminiscence of what used to be and has made me sit back and think ..omg i used to do that, and that happened too. There has been some massive changes and here are a few of my own

The only time i roll down the car window now is to let the vapor out, i get some weird looks from ppl next to me.... like is there a fire in your car?

i love reading how many post since my husband and i started.... i love hearing about how the other half is into it too,

um health related but....
i love how i am not loosing as much hair as i did when smoking and my teeth dont hurt anymore. Finally i can chew ice cream again. Oh im a chronic nail bitter, i now have lucious long nails

I am really pleased that my sudden cough attacks have disappeared, i would get them in the middle of the night and could only breathe at about 20% for a good 15 minutes. Really frightening.

I am really pleased that i no longer get chest pains and can last all day at work running around.

Actually no one ever told me i stunk when i was smoking, its only now that i have stopped that i can smell everyone else that makes my stomach churn....

I am only just now realising that omg i am a non smoker... its a scary time for me, i've only made it past 3 months one other time, but this time is soooo much easier. Now i consider that i have never smoked in my life, sometimes thoughts ping me back to earth, but i love vaping soooo much more

on a somewhat badder note, my lactose tolerance has gone higher, and i am finding i have to be more careful with certain dairy foods. But its a small price to pay seeing as everything TASTES so much better

i really enjoy not feeling guilty , in all area's but mainly treating myself to nice things because i can afford it now.

I now dont have to sell my motorbike because i can afford to pay rego and insurance and all other things associated

I am no longer the lighter theif, i no longer have to empty my pockets out at the end of each night because somehow they found their way to somewhere warmer.

Best of all i love smiling !!!! I am not ashamed to show off my bright white teeth
