Thoughts after three days

[chuckpo]

I know I'm preaching to the choir here (so to speak) but I'm literally amazed at the sense of smell and taste that I have already recovered. Even after finishing my last pack, which I had 6 left on Monday when I purchased my PV, I could definitely tell the recovered smell and taste. Parking in the garage at work and walking past the smoking section, the odor was almost unbearable. Then smoking the last of the pack, two per day, tasted horrid.

I was leaving my pack at work and heading home the past couple of nights, only to find that I really did not miss it at all. Before, sure, I would have stopped on the way home and bought a fresh pack. But last night this was not even a thought. I feel freed from the analog sticks, even though I know the coming days and weeks might bring challenges. I'm looking forward to facing them and being able to breathe, smell, and taste again.

Thanks to the community for the wealth of information and assistance, as seen during my days of lurking around.

So awesome! Glad you are wanting the analogs less and less That is my goal too... I just received my first kit today and already know I love it! Still some things to figure out, but so far so good. Keep up the good work!

It only gets better and better as you go along. You learn some to get a better vaping experience and, at least for me, was able to rapidly forget about getting a cigarette. My worst fear after starting was going into the convenience store to get a drink and buying a pack of cigarettes. Didn't happen and didn't even bother me. It just gets better!

It gets easier and better! Welcome and congrats!! Pretty soon, you'll associate the slight odor of your all day vape as the good stuff and the odor of analog smoke will become more and more foreign.

Isn't it great? I've been reading this forum over my wife's shoulder for a couple of months now, but today she isn't home so I had to register to ask my own question! LOL

Welcome to freedom! I am on a business trip, and on a lark decided I would indulge in my old favorite pasttime...a bottle of chardonnay and my favorite cigarettes. Not quitting vaping, just giving myself a little treat while I'm alone here.

I smoked 2 of my old favorite brand, with my favorite Chardonnay, and decided my old pals were gross. I took the pack in the kitchen and drowned them, and threw them out. They were gross!

It is funny, just a little time on vaping with nice flavors, and still getting your nic, and you realize those stinkies really are...well...STINKY!

Glad to have you on board with us!

Tina hit the nail on the head. Freedom. I wouldn't go places if I couldn't smoke... I would literally just avoid people. This has given me so much freedom.

Congratulations on your 3 day mark. The 3rd day was the hardest for me so far, so happy you're doing good!
