If you find a way let me know I brought 2000 gms of condor back from holiday and a week later started vaping
I started with the cheapo e-cigs from gas stations like a lot of people. And yes I snuck a plenty in the beginning. But once I found REAL e-cigs I havent looked back since.
I bought my first ecig on set 12,2011 "an ego T" and have not had a cigarette since. I am glad that I did not start out trying the one they sell at convenience stores. If it didn't work I wouldn't have tried the better ecig. At that time I would have thought they were all the same.
I tried several different e cigs from gas stations and didn't like them.Then I tried Logic brand from a gas station and liked them.I quit analogs cold turkey on them then started doing some research on ecigs.I started with a ego twist and then a Provari.Then sampled several different e juices till I found a few I enjoyed.I think the trick to fully quitting analogs is finding a good e juice that you like.There are some many different flavors.

I know how you feel. I've got about 5lbs. of various tobaccos. I wached this clip on Youtube:
It got me thinking, so I googled it for pipe tobacco. I found the information is available in here. You have to have posted 5 times to access this area of the forum. I would use pure grain alcohol (190 proof)

I had heard of e-cigs for quite sometime, but I am a bit cheap and didn't think they'd work.
October of 2011 I was at Octoberfest with a good friend that had just started with the V2. I tried his and thought that wouldn't work for me, but there's something there. I did a bit of research and talked with some people at work that were using the Ego-C and were having quite a bit of luck with it. I tried one and thought this might just work.
March of 2012 I came home from work and looked in my 3 month old car and saw the black interior covered with as, after I spent 6 hours over the weekend giving it a thorough detailing. That did it, I went and ordered an Ego-C starter kit.
I had planned to transition into vaping, starting with not smoking in my car. Given that I have a minimum of a 1 hour commute each way, that was a significant reduction. However I just couldn't take the next step, tried not smoking at work, failed. Tried not smoking at home, failed. At this time, I was content to just not have my car stinky and dirty.
Then in September my mother passed away. Not from smoking, at least directly, but her smoking induced COPD really caused issues in the ER. While I had accepted the direct consequences of smoking, I never thought about the issues like that; smoking causing a diagnosis delay in the ER. The Sunday after her funeral, I was at a buddy's house watching the game and finished the pack I had and was vaping full time.
Unknown to me at the time, that buddy had switched to the V2 a week prior so we have Ben able to lean on each other a bit. I was ale to bum some smokes from my daughter that first week but the wife and I were set to go on vacation that Friday, and I refused to take any with me, and would not buy them where we were going at $2 more per pack.
Have not had a cigarette in the nearly 3 months since. Has been a bit of journey finding the right juice and the right equipment, but I am very nearly there. I don't miss the stinkies at all, and can smell that greatest smell on earth, the baby smell of my first grandson.

Had my last smoke an hour before my nic+ liquid arrived, haven't looked back in almost 6 months.
I did. Tried a blue, researched got a riva, cartos n stardust and quit the day I got my kit. 5 weeks now. No need for an analog.
Me, though the urge is still strong for a smoke in the mornings. Once I've gotten a good vape going I'm all set.
I used to puff on one of my buddies PV's every time I saw him for about a year he was vaping, and I never thought I would be able to quit because of how many times I've tried to quit before. then finally him and I were talking about it, he is very well informed on vaping/equipment/juice, and we were looking around at starter kits/intro mods. And then we got to a site and had me pull up a particular mod, as we were talking about how much $$$ I was spending on, not only smoking ciggs but also how much other stuff I bought when I went into the store to grab a pack, and it started to make sense to me. And he told me that the mod we were looking at, that he had one and is going to give it to me. Greatest Friend Ever!!
I've been vaping for about 3 weeks now, the first week I polished off my last pack over a few days. I smoked a few the 1st day, a few less the next day, and by the 3rd day I was puffing on the PV he gave me like it was going to keep me alive!! lol
Since then I've cut back on the constant puffing and haven't lit up a cancer stick in a few weeks. Thank you so much to my friend, and all of the Vapers b4 him that gave him the info to give me. So if you have a friend, give them the info, give them a chance. Lets help our friends, the same way so many people on this site and many others have helped us!!

Got my first ego style and EMDCCs + juice 12/24/12 . Almost full pack of cigs in my truck untouched since that day. Just need to find the pg/vg ratio and nic level I can live with. And find my flavor of choice once my taste buds all come back. got some custom blends from ECB coming monday. I also wanna try pluid when I can.
I was smoking a pack or so of Black & Milds a day. I had originally started those as a way to get off the pack and a half of Marlboros a day. I got a eGo T starter kit from altsmoke in September 2011 and have not had a cigar or cig since. The temptation was strong at first but faded quickly as I found more and more satisfying vapes. I do have one Black & Mild in my glove box along with a lighter. I am saving that incase one day the pooh hits the fan, like asteroid of doom, zombie apocalypse kinda pooh. On that day my lungs will forgive me.

Quit cigarettes the day I started vaping. At least that was the plan. Actually, there was one hiccup. I went for coffee with some friends and my e-cig refuse to work. Frustrated and going crazy, I bought a pack and boy did I get a head rush. If you really need your nicotine, don't leave the house without a backup e-cig.
I quit November 24, the day I got my 808D and I love it. I was 30 year PAD smoker and now I only have maybe one or two a day, sometimes none. I mostly vape. It's only been a month, but I'm looking forward to saving money, feeling better and not dying early. Best oof luck to you. Don't stress over it too much. This is not a stressful way to quit. There will be cravings and it's up to you if you want to vape your way through them or cheat a little. The main thing is that while vaping, you will smoke a lot less and anything is better then nothing. Keep your spirits up and enjoy vaping.
I had originally tried the NJOY ones that 7-11 sells down here and they did not help and I am not sure i was serious about quitting. A bunch of people in my office were using ego-t's and were raving about them. in my mind I didnt want to spend $100 on a starter kit yet I would spend that on cigs (1 1/2 to 2 packs a day). I woke up one saturday morning told the wife I would be back in a bit and went to the local vapor store. She was pleased that I was going to give it a try......That was 10 weeks ago and I havent picked up a cig since. In fact she just bought my first Mod for me for X-Mas......
I stopped the same day, had a cigarette in my passenger side door compartment for months, never touched it and just eventually threw it away. Haven't looked back on smoking cigarettes and happily using my PV.
I got addicted to both for a while, the trick is to have such a high quality setup that the cigarettes really cant compare. Ive even tried to smoke again and I cant enjoy it.
