Who knew quitting smoking could be this much fun...

[Sir Pouncival]

Greetings, everyone. I am brand new to the forum as a member. My wife and I quit smoking three weeks ago and we found a lot of information on this forum that helped us get started the right way. We also had some good mentoring from a friend who started vaping several months ago. My wife's boss has been working on her for a while now. So far my wife has convinced a co-worker to start vaping and I'm working on one as well. My wife calls herself a vaping evangelist. We both are finding that we only like menthols and mints, however my wife vapes cinnamon once in a while as well as clove. I have an EVOD2 set-up and she has a Vision Spinner II with a Nautilus Mini. I've also tried a Kanger Aerotank Mega and she tried a Davide, but the Nautilus is far superior (at least it was once we figured out how to help keep it wicked and not burn). We've been shocked at how easy the transition was. Every other method we've tried to quit failed us. If they ban this stuff, we're doomed.

This is a whole new world and we are just loving it! I'm looking forward to the discussion.

Welcome to the forum, congrats to you and the wife for quitting and keep it going strong.

We're with you if you need anything let us know.

 

[Sir Pouncival]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been contemplating getting a mod but not sure if I am ready for that yet. I still want to do more research before I sink that kind of money into it.

My wife and I started together a couple of years ago...after 40+ years of smoking. I started first and she followed a week later after watching my success. Funny, after 39 years of marriage, that's the first time she ever took my advice on anything. Enjoy it together...it's better and easier as a team.

Congratulations. With vaping, you get your cake and get to eat it too. That is you can quit smoking, and have fun at the same time like you said.

 

[HEMO]

Congrats. I'm 12 weeks in and having a ball. Nice to know I'm not the only one having a blast vaping.

I wish I didn't begin with a starter kit but I wanted to make sure I was serious about quitting smoking. Now I am finding way too many things I want to try

Welcome to the forum
I remember the three week mark just like it was yesterday.
Do you each have a back up PV. At or about the 6 week mark for me was hell one night when I did not have a back up.
Now I am working on a back up for the back up.
Congrats Keep it up

welcome Sir Pouncival ... if finances allow, get better devices for both you and your wife ... you need backups anyhow.

I quit a 30+ year smoking habit just over a year ago ... in one year, I have found my perfect vape setup and several all day vapes.

congrats and enjoy

Welcome Sir Pouncival. Nice to see another hoosier join the ranks. I'm still amazed 14 months later how easy the transition was.
WTG to you and the Mrs. It truly is fun to be able to breathe, smell and taste again.

Glad you are enjoying vaping. Can I ask if you are using products with nicotine or not with nicotine? Or both? People have asked me for advise on how to start and I know it is very individual but I want to give examples to these people.

Welcome! i'm almost 2 weeks into vaping, I have smoked a handful of analogs in moments of weakness, but less than a pack in over two weeks from half a pack a day is an improvement. I expect the next few weeks to be even better, every step helps. I'm really enjoying the vaping experience, and i don't stink like cigs all day! Keep up the good fight.

 

[Cavemanbattleaxe]

Welcome to ECF!
I'm an ex-smoker too, lucky I didn't smoke for too long before I found vaping (3 years and about a half pack a day)
This forum is full of knowledgeable members and good information!

Cheers and happy vaping!

I didn't notice you were from Indy. I'm an old Hoosier (well Boilermaker actually). Born and raised in Lebanon (wife from Carmel). Lived in Indy...Beech Grove at first then on the east side near Fort Ben. Moved away 31 years ago. Still lots of family scattered around the state.

Congrats on quitting. I'm a year and a half analog free, I can't believe I am just now finding this forum. EPIC

 

[BlunderCat]

Welcome & congrats! I am almost 6 weeks analog free, which was the exact moment I started to vape with better, more satisfying equipment. I initially had no intention of quitting the analogs and was merely curious about a better vaping experience (had tried Blus and ego style two years prior), but the experience was so amazing and far more enjoyable to analogs that I haven't looked back.

Welcome to ECF and congrats. Feel free to ask any questions you have.

We each have a couple backups. At the moment we have a total of 5 batteries and 8 clearomizers. I have backup coils and another battery in the mail but I may need to buy some coils at the shop before the shipment arrives.

We are using products with nicotine. Not much luck ordering liquid online that tastes good. Thankfully we have lots of stores where you can test flavors.
