Trying to quit the analogs...

[Boodle]

You have a great kit on the way! Hang in there. You're doing great Don't be too hard on yourself. Every cigarette you don't smoke really is a win. We're all different. Once you get good equipment and juice in your paw things will go (much!) more smoothly. Glad you're here. Congrats.

I have to agree there -- she's got some nice equipment!

I've been eying those 5v GLV2's myself. I like the look and the promise of a big TH.

But for now, just GET ME SOME EJUICE!!!!

I gave my 6v SB to a guy that rolls his own...no filters...the look on is face was priceless...I told him to take it easy the first few hits

I've had some good experiences with e-cigs so far:

• SafeCigs - Overall, a good experience (but they didn't quite leave me satisfied). I stuck with them for about 6 months (supplementing with analogs or nic patches) before stumbing onto ECF, where my horizons broadened.
  ...
• NoEgo 18650 - Amazingly quick order fulfillment, love the look and feel, and it works very, very well!
  ...
• VapeRite - I had all of my hardware, but no e-juice. I had ordered some from well-known vendors, but they hadn't arrived yet. (Not a criticism of them; I ordered late, and I know these things can take time.) Enter VapeRite. They are local, so I called them up, and basically begged for some e-juice. They not only allowed me to pick up my order on 2 hours notice, but also threw some extra bottles into my sample pack. WOW! Very nice people too. Thanks VapeRite!

Before I got my juice from VapeRite, I had run out of SafeCig cartos for a day, so I ended up smoking a pack of analogs while I was waiting. Yuck! I just can't stand the stuff anymore. Now I am very happily back on vapor, and trying out my various juice samples.

Initial reactions? Some flavors I like a lot, some not so much. Not too surprising, right? That's why you get sample packs! I seem to gravitate to the tobacco flavors, and THANK YOU VapeRite Todd for throwing in those extra tobacco samples while I was there.

I'm loving it...

I have to agree about VapeRite. I've had good experiences with the juice and with Todd's customer service too. I only wish he had larger bottles so I could buy larger quantities.

Congrats on finding your groove! The NoEgo was going to be my choice of first mod before I decided on the big guns, so I'm glad to hear you're loving it.

It has been two weeks with no analogs. It's looking quite promising

Thanks to all for the encouragement.

Strange, I always thought of vaping as a way to reluctantly wean myself off of analogs. Now, I can't imagine myself happy with analogs ever again. I'm off the patch, off the analogs, and I feel great!

I kind of didn't even know what to expect of E-cigs when I was first considering them. I wanted them to be a complete replacement for tobacco, and what I'd read of people using them was encouraging, but experiences being as personal as they are I just really couldn't get a good sense of what they'd be like for me. All I knew was that they were worth a shot -- and they weren't that much more expensive than those stupid Nicorette inhalers I wasted $45 on, most of which are still sitting in my desk hutch. Fortunately they worked far better than I ever could have hoped for, and there wasn't even a transitional period for me. It was just, one minute I'm having a smoke, the next minute I'm vaping and never wanting to touch another paper stick again.
