Why did you start vapping?

[EatnBullets]

Well. I have all ways enjoyed smoke. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, fire, sweet smoke. My wife and I have been using tobacco for over 60 years combined. My wife was diagnosed with emphazima. We had to make a change. I started to research alternate solutions. Her nor I was looking forward to stop smoking. I still have enough pipe tabac and cigars to hold me for years. I just found I prefer the vapor more than the others. I have ebayed the pre ban Cuban cigars through a local shop. Then used the money to get into this. I am now thinking of opening a store front. Now what's your story?Thank you to everyone who posts. Thank you to everyone who reads.

My wife bought some e-cigs just to try. We had no intention of quitting analogs. We basically both quit analogs by accident! Vaping just seems nicer/just as nice and it's a great substitute.

I smoked for 40 years and had given up trying to quit smoking after endless attempts. Stopped a local e-cig store and picked up an eGo clone just to see if it would help me cut down, the next day I had my last one. I'm also an accidental quitter, it was just way too easy, I keep fearing there will be some revenge factor coming down the road.

im a kind half pack cigar a day.. one day i see one of my office mate(senior officer) vaping in his desk. then im get close to him with amaze feeling. oh how could the water be like smoke i said and. i cant stop thinking about the miracle of ecig after that. and waiting patiently for pay day. then i go with him to one of the reseller here. that was my turning point.
im really in debt with him.. hope to see future bright for vapers

I started vaping after trying to quit smoking over 50 times. I was so bad I would have 2 nicotine patches on and then still smoke. I finally realized that I really liked the act of smoking. I've been vaping over 7 months now and haven't smoked a real cigarette since

Walked into a local grocery store, Winn Dixie, and was sick of hiding the smoking from my wife and others. EVERYONE is always on your case about them and, of course, for a good reason. I wasn't able to have my morning smoke yet, as my wife was with me the whole day, so I picked up a disposable Metro Ecig. After a days worth of vaping, I was hooked and found ECF. ECF then helped me pick the right PV and the right cartos and here I am. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks of being smoke free!!!

To quit smoking. I had a friend who had done it and quit and they are gaining more and more popularity. I was put off at first by the ones I had seen at the flea market - they looked so cheesy. But after trying repeatedly to quit I finally asked her about hers (she had long since gotten rid of it though). Since we have a big family on a single income and it was a lot of money to put out for something that only MAY work (in my head, in my defense I couldn't have known!), I started doing a lot of research. And the more research I did the more confusing and scary it seemed - what if I picked the wrong one? But I found this forum and was helped more than I could ever repay, and now - yay! NO SMOKING!

My main reason was because I wanted to be healthy... I am not like all the others and feel like a young guy (I'm 25) and not many people my age have moved onto the vaping movement. Other reasons are I hated smelling like cigs, it cost me $5 a day! But the biggest one is I am a professional cook (Kitchen Supervisor now making my way up the ranks) and by quiting smoking my taste-buds have come back to life and my sense of smell is better than ever! I am never going back to analogs... and the technology on e-cigs just keeps getting better!

Like many others here I was an accidental quitter. I bought the ecig cause it was to cold to go outside every hour during work, so I figured I can use the ecig in the interim. After using analogs and ecigs for a few months, I just woke up one day and decided I was done with analogs. The scary part of this, was I didn't even have to try to quit, it just happened.

Well I wasn't planning on quitting smoking, but I saw this electronic cigarette and was thinking. I must try that ... was planning on buying greensmoke ... but was reading up and found some good forums ... guess which one ... Started with a 510-t and ordered a kit + extra LR atomizer and menthol/mint/red mix/joyetech mlb (all 11mg)... I swapped very fast to the LR atomizer and it was like wow ... I said i'll give this a week and see .. 5 days later I tried a real cigarette and I was disgusted by the taste ... never looked back since ... coming up on 6 months now & still vaping 11mg and never every looking back

Also when I was at work I needed to smoke ... now I don't have that urge anymore ... I can go without, but I do vape when I feel like it ... If it's a 1 hour vape, it is. If it's 2 drags, it is

It was my last stitch effort to get off cigs. I'd tried literally everything else. Wouldn't you know it, the last stitch effort turned out to be a miracle for me. Sure I had a few hiccups, and fell off the wagon a few times. But you know what? It worked. In the last two months, I've had two whole cigarettes, and not even because I wanted to smoke, I was just curious how bad it would taste. Conclusion? Bloody awful. I wish I'd known about ecigs the first time I tried to quit. Would have saved me a lot of money and aggrivation.

My health, my wallet and my girl. Enough reasons? And I'm loving it!

Harm reduction.

But after smoking heavily for 37 years and trying just about everything to quit, I'm quickly headed towards "accidental quitter" status. This is week 5 or 6. It's been three days without a single cigarette...up until now I've still been smoking a few per day. But I don't even want one now. I'm amazed that I don't but I'd rather vape. The trick for me at this point is having a good stash of yummy juices and cartos.

I've usually enjoyed tobacco products (even though I was always a little picky with how it tasted). I probably dabbled a few times with PVs (always the mini's) a few times, but was never really convinced until one day it occurred to me that I could drop cigarettes, keep my pipe for special occasions, and just vape instead. So far, it's stuck. I think I went through a week of substituting one for the other in my usual rituals and it just worked.

Well, I am sort of an accidential quitter, too. I started with a mini, out of curiosity. Just wanted to see if this would actually work since I had developed a smokers cough. Didn't really think it would get me to totally quit. Well, it did, within 1 day! I since moved on to a LavaTube and haven't had a cigi, don't want a cigi, and my cough is just about gone..... I'm loving it!

Worked as a tech rep , so I travel a lot . Got some fifty one’s at the mall to use in the hotel room to keep From running in and out. After a few days, stopped going outside, and was just using the e cig. Try an analog, and got that head rush, never again(I hope).

 

[TheMuppet]

smokers cough is almost gone after 3 weeks smoke free.. having always had bronchitis atleast twice a year, i can actually breath better now, and look forward too no illness any longer.. hopfully my smoking hasnt done too much permanate damage in the lungs..

I tried patches, kept falling off. Gums and lozenges, kept getting mouth sores. Cold turkey, kept having horrible thoughts of a violent nature. Bought an XHale O2 from the liquor store, 5 puffs a cart and hated it. I finally bought a Royal 2 bubble pack from a smoke shop and loved it. I did hate the cost of the cartos and the burnt taste after a half a day. I bought the Blu from Wallygreens and never touched a cigarette again. After about a month I gave it to my father in law after getting a 510-T and have since moved on to eGo's and its vv frankenbattery. I have been cigarette free for roughly 3 months now and loving it. I never wanted to quit, the vapors just interested me. Now that I notice my health returning I am glad I did. Finding the 510's and eGo's has allowed me to keep doing what I enjoy, smoking, while being able to live.

P.S. another great side effect of vaping is I am able to raid much more in WoW now that I don't have to take a break in between bosses to go outside and have a cig!!!
