what did you smoke before you started vaping?

[puddlejumper1]

In 38 years as a "heavy smoker" I've smoked everything, legal and otherwise. Started vaping 6/12, and this is working. I first tried to Quit smoking in 1986 (hyptnosis). Since then I've been on the patch several times (with and without anti-depressants), I took Chantix for almost a year (wanted to kill myself as well as others), and I say again "this is working".

Smoker for 20+ years here, started out on Marlboro reds, but switched to lights over 10 years ago. Pack to pack and a half a day like clockwork in recent years. Like others in this thread, I've tried everything (but Chantix, no thanks!), patches, gum, etc. The problem with all stuff (for me at least), is that when I want a cigarette, I want that nicotine now, not in an hour, so that stuff always failed me. I started vaping a week ago today, not planning to quit analogues totally at first. I'm happy to say, I haven't had a cigarette since last Sunday at 6:30PM EST. As puddlejumper1 stated, this stuff works!! Thanks to all of you here at ECF for all the help along the way.

Marlboro Reds ...pretty much my main stay for 28 years....and after trying another one after 6 weeks of vaping I can not believe how nasty they now taste.

smoker for 17 years for the last 14 years i was smoking old holborn yellow with rizzla blue.

Marlboro lights for 20 years. Quit the day I got my ego kit. Tried one he other day and could barely get it lit without gagging.

 

[Off Topic]

I jumped around for about 20 years Marlboro 100, Camel, Camel non filter....

I do not vape tobacco flavors. I want to completely break the mental connection between the drug and that flavor.

My mainstay is my DIY wintergreen/menthol. I vape candy.

Started out on 'Winston' 40+ years ago, then switched to 'Salem' and stayed there until I began vaping.

Smoked 3 pad of Misty... Down to less than a pad, some days only 4-5. Looking forward to totally quitting!

When I could be choosy I liked the occasional pack of Marb Smooths and Newports mostly. Towards the end I smoked USA gold menthol, then transitioned to "regulars" and when "regulars" didn't help (someone said menthol was worse for you) I found e-ciggs!

 

[Mini Cooper S]

Smoked for almost 30 yrs. Everything from Mboro, Newport to Indian cigs.

I've rolled Samson Halfzware tobbaco for the last 15 years.

As a 40 yr. 1 1/2 PAD smoker, think I have tried most everything. Starters were Marlboro Red, then lights, Kool Menthols for a while, back to Marlboro lights. In recent years it has been generics consistently due to cost. However, when I ran out to buy a pack it was always Pall Mall Light 100's.

When I received my e-cig starter kit on 8-30-2012, I still had one full unopened pack and four singles. Today, I still have that unopened pack and three singles. Vaping is amazing!

Marlboro reds - I haven't really looked for tobacco flavors at all since I started, I figure why "torture" myself and have just been vaping deserts and fruits. I will admit I would like to try some boba's again though.

Smoked for 13 years. Started with Marlboro med 100s, then switched to American Spirits (and for awhile made my own Amer S or Bali Shag). I've still got 6 unopened packs at home and wish I could return them! that's $36 I could spend on vaping! aargh!

 

[UntamedRose]

pack and half of Marlboro 27s...for years....but that was over two years ago now.

 

[crossjeremiah]

anything my friends smoked. i was more like smoking bum. i rolled my own cigarettes bought $300 worth of pipes. its crazy. i smoked djarum cloves, and black and milds. i'm glad i'm not killing myself with these

 

[The Old Phil]

Chesterfield, which I gave up for love (she didn't like the smell so went for Camel)

I smoked Marlboro reds. It took me a while to find an e-cig flavor that had the same taste, especially because I'm so picky. I gotta say though I did finally find a company that offers a flavor just like marlboro's recipe. If your still looking around for a good reliable company I would strongly suggest checking out www.a1vapors.com. I think there even still offering free sample 5 packs.

I think Camel Crush was the last type of analog I used. It has been a couple of years, but I'm pretty sure that is what I was on. I haven't really found anything that tastes like them specifically, but they were honestly so minty that nearly any menthol juice is pretty close. I don't tend to go for the tobacco flavored juices however. My favorite juice thus far is called Harmony from ElectonicStix. It is a cinnamon-menthol kinda flavor. It has a very nice thick vap! Being cinnamon and menthol, you have to be careful with using Tanks, as I've read that they can crack certain types of plastics!

Camel 100's were my death stick of choice. I thought that wicked sick menthol tasted alot like a menthol analog and ordered maxiboro to try out. Turkish from juicy vapor tastes like feet lol I absolutely hate that one. I like a bunch of others here prefer different flavors now though and believe variety is the spice of life. Juicy Vapor is doing a sale until midnight tonight @ 25% off but I already have a total of nine 18ml bottles of diff flavors in my hand and en route. Lol at Damion I won't order anything with cinnamon in it... I love my gear too much. Does anyone know if the Phiniac rubber can handle cinnamon? I know the glass wont crack but how about the seals. Thanks in advance.
