A) Keeping track with a android app that helps me see how much money I am saving and how many analogs I've avoided, though I've been spending quite a bit looking for 'my juice' :)

Hey Spooky, please share. What android app are you referring to? If you can please PM me as I may forget that I posted to this thread. Thanks.

Lots of A's and B's on here, that's great.
I'm a C - got a starter kit with a stick battery, liked it enough to push me into further research, but kept smoking, especially in the morning. Found ECF and was steered towards a Twist kit, cut way down after that and a couple weeks later (a little over 3 weeks ago) quit entirely.

6-8 weeks.

F here. (I really think there are many more still-smoker-vapers within and beyond ECF than these threads suggest.)

I've been vaping since January 2010. I've smoked for well over 40 years, at peak 1.5 PAD--so just a heavy-ish smoker. My goal has never been to quit entirely, and I'm not one of those people who immediately found the taste of cigarettes repulsive. I still love smoking and the smell of smoke. But for more than a year and a half, I've been very strict about keeping it down to no more than four Marlboro 100s a day-- two right when I get up in the morning and two late at night, maximum. The temptation to allow myself a heavy-smoking day doesn't come up, so I figure I'm at a good equilibrium place with this plan. (Plus, I choose to think those four cigarettes are health neutral in the larger scheme of things.)

Besides feeling and breathing considerably better, one thing that has changed is what happens when I run out of cigarettes. I now buy two packs at a time (about every 10 days) instead of a carton. Used to be that being down to two packs meant it was time to buy a carton. Several times lately, I've forgotten I was running out, even to the point of not having two tomorrow-morning cigarettes and just said "Oh well... I'll vape instead," without any panic.

During my smoke-free daytimes, I vape about 4-5ml a day of 20mg.

Category I. Lol j/k, j/k

I would fit into B and J, depending on how you look at it. Don't take that the wrong way hahah...

Originally, I quit analogs within a week back when I started vaping in '09. Then, I picked up analogs last fall and smoked until August of this year, and now I'm back on PV's and quit cigarettes within a few days. There is no going back at this point! :)

A for me - as you can see 425 days ago!! Went to 0-nic by accident about 12 days later...been vaping 0-nic ever since. I was a 25+ year 2 to 2-1/2 PAD smoker. Never once had a backslide - I did have a couple fairly rough weeks of withdrawal but I managed to make it through. I also sometimes have dreams that I can't find or didn't bring my PV with me and I smoked!! Oh those are horrible!
