I just wanted to stop freezing my bits off on the front porch. Everytime I'd hear a weather report that it was going down into the 20s or lower that night, I'd go to the store and buy some disposable e-cig that I hadn't tried before, but they all sucked. So I got mad enough at the weather and my stupid habit and the lame disposable e-cigs that I went to google, by which I found this place. Came here and started asking about "cig-a-likes" as I learned they were called; got an eRoll that week, and a couple wks later found an e-juice that was a great deal like the taste of the cigarettes I smoked, so I started vaping regularly, even substituting it for a cigarette after meals, and I really liked it; the cigarettes started tasting worse and worse, and the ultra-lights that I smoked for 20+ yrs suddenly had no throat hit at all -- compared to vaping, even with the eRoll I was using then.
When I got to 1 cigarette a day for 3 days in a row, I knew it was time to just yank that bandaid off instead of pulling it off one hair at a time. Smoked my last, and knew it was my last, on Feb 27; Feb 28 had my first smoke-free 24 hrs. That first one was a bit of a challenge, but since then, really not a challenge to avoid cigarettes, though getting tanks to not leak and atomizers to fire properly does seem a bit of a challenge at times. Still better than smelling like an ashtray, lungs sounding like a water pipe every morning, running for the front porch at every commercial and freezing to death out there, dropping ashes on myself, choking my husband right out of the truck, and setting myself up for lung cancer or COPD, so I'm in for good. Whatever it takes, whatever I have to buy, whatever it costs, whatever hassles I have to go thru to make these things work right. ANYTHING is better than smoking myself to death as my father did.

Well, except about trying new flavours now.
