Hello everyone. My name is Michael. I just picked up a Kanger Mini Protank II EVOD VV starter kit last Friday evening from Vape Dojo in Ellicott City, MD. I joined the forum yesterday. My adventure into vaping started because my wife (of 6 mos.) and I decided that we should quit smoking. I have been a smoker for 30 years. I have never tried to quit. I never really thought about quitting before. For the last 3 years, I have been smoking RYO rolled with American Spirit Organic tobacco.
So.. I get home Friday evening with my new starter kit. I had an Altoids can containing 8 rolled cigarettes in my pocket. I walked in the door at about 7:30pm, and proceeded to show my wife my new PV. I plugged one of the batteries into the charger, and then sat down for dinner. After dinner, I had 1 of my cigarettes (in the basement, as usual). I came back up stairs at about 8:30 and started to put everything together. Needless to say, I was vaping by 8:40...
Now, my original plan was to just smoke the remaining tobacco that I had (7 rolled smokes, plus about 1/4 can of unrolled tobacco), and switch to vaping when that ran out. As it turned out, that 8:30PM cig Friday evening would be pretty close to my last. I had no more on Friday night, one on Saturday (put out after smoking less than 1/3 of it), one on Sunday. one on Monday, NONE yesterday, and one this morning. The one this morning was a test. I wanted to see if I thought that it was more enjoyable, less enjoyable, or the same level of enjoyment as vaping. Good news! Here I was smoking a cigarette thinking that I enjoyed the flavor and experience of vaping just as much, if not more than the stinky kind. I smoked less than 1/2 of it and put it out. I headed straight into the house and grabbed my PV full of Dojo Butterscotch (50/50 - 18%).
So, I still have 3 rolled cigarettes and a 1/4 can of tobacco sitting on my desk. I've been looking right at them for 4 days, and I DO NOT MISS THEM ONE BIT!
I had no idea that I would be able to make the switch so easily. I can't wait to see what I am going to feel like after a few months of non-smoking. I wish I had found this years ago...
