What made you decide to switch to an e cig?

[Bob Chill]

Tried all other methods and failed. The gap in satisfaction between all other methods and smoking was grand canyon sized. I started rationalizing that I'm happier smoking and perform better mentally and emotionally so the quality of life trade was worth with the risks. Realizing how absolutely stupid that type thought process was I looked into ecigs and found this place.

First try was love at first pull. A near utopian solution to an evil problem. Now the gap in satisfaction has narrowed to virtually nothing and I'm well on my way to finding more satisfaction in ecigs than I ever did with analogs.

My husband actually suggested it, and much to my surprise, I love it! Just ordered another battery and clearomizer yesterday. One of the main reasons is obviously health related. I am almost 40, and was getting winded just walking up my stairs! I want to be around to watch my daughter graduate, get married, have kids... and smoking analogs was going to most likely shorten that span of time I want to have! Also, I love the fact that there is no smell! My house and my car, and my clothes, hair, everything just smells great now! No more yucky breath either! Makes kissing my husband that much better!!!

A pack of smokes would look silly hanging from somebodies neck.

We used to roll them up in our sleeves...how far we have come as a society haha

had to log in just so i could 'like' this post. well said, brother.

ive smoked a PAD for 28 years, quit more times than i could count. and now im one of those 'accidental' quitters, a friend at work showed me his ecig and i decided to try it. found i liked it just fine, reasoned that i should make the effort to switch completely for health reasons mostly. finding that i like vaping MUCH better. =)

I was about to turn 45 and had been on analogs for 2/3 of my life. It was time to quit and nothing else worked for me.

my friend gave it to me as a birthday present. that is where i decided to switch to it. cause the flavour is very addictive cause too many flavour to choose from xD

Right back 'atchya.

I quit long term daily heavy smoking about 3-4 years ago. I would go off and on but always had lozenges on hand. The last couple years have sucked for me because I only smoked 1 day per week (crushed a pack though) and suffered through 6 days of lozenges in between. I hated the gum and lozenges were ever so slightly better but they still sucked. So I fought with my own mind day in and day out. I kept bringing my wife back in too. She loved "cheating" on quitting but I felt really bad that I perpetuated her own mental struggle. We are very similar with our addiction though.

I got so dang sick of the mind games that it made me reach a bit of a crossroads. I either had to simply accept the fact that I had to go back to cold turkey or just give in and get back to "normal". Both options sucked...and sucked bad. But the current option sucked bad too. I'm in my 40's with 4 kids and was unhappy in all directions with the smoking thing...and then...I found...utopia. My wife is thrilled too. No more struggling. No more guilt. No more being in between.

Best of all...my best friend (and worst influence) is a 25 year PAD smoker. He hasn't had an analog since Thursday @ 5pm when he picked up an eGo because he was thrilled with what I was saying and had to try it himself. I feel like I saved my best friends life (in a totally selfless way).

Never was too big on smoking. I was more of a social smoker (cigarettes)...but I did like to Hookah. But having my own PV is just much more convenient and I like being able to just hang out at one of the stores and just vape with good people.

For health and $$$ reasons. I love to smoke, and this makes it exciting!

Can't remember if I replied to this once before but can't hurt. I wanted to enhance my smoking experience during this foul weather spring we had; as in, it was way to crappy to smoke outside so flipped some cash for the vape solution. Funny thing is I haven't smoked an analog for a coupla months now. Go figure.

I had some people tell me about them, and it smells so much nicer!
