My 'this is going to work' moment came very very early. I had been trying so hard to quit cigs for a long time. You name it, I tried it. Wellbutrin, Chantix, Hypnotism, Cold Turkey, Patches, Gum ...the works. It wasn't the chemical addiction as much as it was the hand to mouth part of it for me.
I read about e-cigs and did some research on it. I found that there was a store 12 miles away and I drove right over. I spoke with a very helpful young woman and was so lost. I didn't even know what questions to ask but I did buy a disposable to try out. I brought it home and on the way I smoke a cig and counted how many draws it took to smoke one. Was 12 puffs. I tried the disposable that evening when I would have normally reached for a cig. The flavor wasn't that good and the vapor was pretty anemic but I knew after about the 4th puff that this would work.
I found ECF and got some advice on a starter kit and ordered two different ones from Smokeless Image and Halo for my wife and I. They came in on Sat and we finished our smokes that night so none were in the house. The next day, Sunday July 8th 2012, we both started vaping and neither of us had a cigarette since. Dear God I am so thankful!
