Vaping 15 days...smoke free for SIX!!

[madison360]

I just wanted to post a THANK YOU to this forum!! So far, so good for me and my husband! We are vaping on 510's...so far, but have already decided that by the end of the month we are going to invest in models that will allow us to go all day without changing batteries and will provide more vapor. We have had some MAJOR challenges in our personal lives...the kind that make you want to go out and buy a pack of smokes, but have found that if we give vaping a chance, it provides that "emotional support" that we have both looked to cigarettes to provide.

I honestly feel that if it was not for this forum, we would not have made it almost a WEEK without smoking. My husband looks to me for information regarding our vaping, and I have found all of the support that we need for that HERE and am able to pass that onto him. I don't feel like we are "cured" and plan on being here for a long time. I hope that we will continue to be successful and that I can pass on what we have learned, so far, on to other people.

I just wanted to say, that if I had not found this forum, and the support here, I don't think that e-cigarettes would have been as successful for us as they have been, so far. You can go to any "tobacco" shop and buy a cheap knockoff and that was the way we were headed until my internet searches landed me here. I keep reading and keep learning and the information provided here is what I have been able to pass on to my husband. Vaping has brought us closer together in a way that smoking NEVER did.

Thanks for your friendship and support! HAPPY VAPING!!

So glad you found the forum Madison360, and welcome! I can't tell you how many people over the last couple years I have URGED to join us here because I know it can make the difference between a good or bad vaping experience. But I bet only one person in twenty actually does what you have done, maybe less. Good job and we look forward to your posts!

I started on Vapor Genie .. for 3 months smoked tobacco that way ..very messy and go through lighters like there no tomorrow ... so it been 3 months no since I smoked analog .. been on e-cig for last 6 days .. love it !

Congrads! I'm in my 1st full week off butts.

"You can go to any "tobacco" shop and buy a cheap knockoff and that was the way we were headed until my internet searches landed me here."
Indeed, that's what kept me struggling so long in the fight of vape & anologs, should have figured those smoke shops only want one thing in the end, for you to keep smoking! So be glad you didn't waste money! & again, congrads, I think it's gonna be a great drive!

Congratulations, Madison360 and your husband, for a job well done!! It's a great site for me, too.

Congratulations.
I have been smoking for 17 years, but after just two weeks of vapoing I can't even stand analog anymore, it really stinks.

Gratz. And you are exactly right about this forum. I started out the hard way. My first e-cig was a Blu, and that was only because my non-smoker brother told me about it. I didn't do any research, just bought the thing, and hated it. I wound up giving it away. I almost swore off e-cigs all together. A couple months later, I started doing some research, but got quickly frustrated because all I found was a bunch of sites saying their e-cig was the best.

Finally, I posted in an unrelated forum asking if anyone could give me any advice. One guy sent me a link to this forum, saying that anyone who tried these things was an idiot. His link was to a post about battery life or something. He thought it was funny that people invested so much thought into a completely stupid idea.

The joke is on him, because he actually gave me the piece of the puzzle I was looking for. After lurking for a week or so, then asking a few questions to fill in the blanks, I bought a Riva and a mess of DIY e-liquid supplies, and I haven't looked back since.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Hey Congratulations to you and your hubby... I also believe this site along with e-cigs has kept me off of the cigarettes for 5 months. Keep up the good work.

Hi Madison!
That is great!!! Sounds like my hubby. He gets info from me that I get from here. But he is doing great!

MrTiedye--That. is. just. perfect! Love that story!!
Ppoi420-- You know what? There is no rule that says you have to quit smoking while using an e-cig. In fact many of us, myself included, still smoke a few cigs a day. But look, every cigarette you replace with vaping is one less cigarette you smoked and that is a real good thing! You just take it at your own pace, ok? Tell us about what kind of e-cig you have and what you are using in it, maybe we can help you find a better experience.

I love this post! And comments like this are why so many of us newbies feel that this forum is such a great support system.

33 Days analog free!!! Got the bug been spending lots of green!! Just got a new SS GGTS!! And waiting for my P18 from Super T! Using a SB
with 510LR. I'm trying to mix my own juice but seems I can't get the flavor where I want it, I like strong flavor but seems if I put too much flavor in the mix the taste drops off?

LOL. Look at all the acronyms in your post. You're using a SB, waiting on a P18 and loving your SS GGTS with a 510LR. What's super weird is that I understood it perfectly

Congrats on 33 days smoke-free and mastering the new language of vaping. Good for you!

Got nothing but time on my hands so I've been doing a lot of research, I'm already digging the vaping experience!! This is a whole lot better
Than Cigs!

My husband still has slips and Dee is right. You don't have to quit, but if that is your goal, just keep trying and whenever you are particularly stressed out, go to vaping FIRST and see if that doesn't satisfy you. The issue my husband has been struggling with is he is more apt to go to his "old stand-by" before giving vaping an opportunity. He is getting better at vaping first and going to an analog if he does not feel appeased. I would also recommend investing in different levels of nicotine and flavors. Sometimes 12mg of nicotine is enough for me, but I vape levels in between that and 36mg...and a variety of flavors.

Keep the faith and come here for support!! It's nice having so many people in your corner.
