Traded 44 for 44!

[57chilicat]

I never really thought I would make it this long! I had smoked for 44 years and today is my 44th day completely smoke free! Thanks to vaping and all of the great people on this forum I feel more confident every day! Thanks to everyone here that provide the much needed support!

Nice! I've been noticing a lot of people that have a join date of a year or 2 ago that are just now becoming more active on here. Care to tell???

I wasn't a member a year or two ago, but I know several smokers who tried vaping when the cigalikes started appearing in mall kiosks back then. They went back to smoking, the technology just wasn't there then. I'm completely new to vaping and I'm doing better on my $15 express starter kit then they did spending a fortune on cigalikes.

I am not new to vaping but the improvement in equipment made me want to try again. I also think I just wasn't completely ready yet. I have vaped for years but also smoked about 5 to 10 cigs a day. I have come to realize that I can't do both if I really want quit smoking. One cigarette always leads me right back to smoking again. My new motto is now Nope! NOT ONE PUFF EVER!

Congrats, 57chilicat. That is fantastic !!! This is day 49 for me and it seems you feel as good about it as I do. The ECF and folks here have really helped me a bunch. I feel like I am a part of a community, though when I look at my posts, they all seem to be similar because I like welcoming folks who are new like I am. There is something about sharing in the vaping experience and sharing with folks who are either cutting down or cutting out smoking. Feels darned good. Namaste !

I joined a few years ago, and now becoming more active. I went back to smoking awhile. The tech and juice market is so much better now.

Thanks ccubed! I do feel good. I have had to make some changes like going from fruity flavors to mocha, coffee, DK4 and French pipe! This has really helped me get past the wanting a cig with my morning coffee! Mornings are still the hardest of times but new flavors are allowing me to enjoy my mornings more! Give up the cigs but I won't give up my coffee!

I figured it was the advancement in quality. I looked into this a few years ago and it was mostly cig-alike stuff. I know there were some better items around back then that were pretty costly but I guess I wasn't the pioneering type. I hear ya on the one cigarette thing. It led me back to smoking after I quit for many years. Happy vaping chillicat!!

Hi sda, I'm in the northern Pittsburgh area. There was a vape meet up in cranberry on sunday that I missed because I was out of town over the weekend. It was the Steel City Vapers club. I haven't been to one but I'll be looking into it.

I am in the North Hills, but never looked into any vape meets or looked for any B&Ms around the area. I do know of a Vape Lounge in Brookline somewhere.
