Wish me luck

Hi all,
I can't tell you how glad I am that I ran across this forum! Pryor to my last couple of days pouring over this forum, I had automaticly dismissed what little I had heard about "e-cigs" as just another "as seen on tv" "magic bullet".
After everything I have read here, not only am I convinced that it is really worth a try, but I'm finding it hard to keep my expectations in check so as to keep as open a mind as possible.
Considering the fact that I am once again about to confront a 35yo "analog" habit that for the past 2 years has grown to demand around 2 packs a day, I fully expect to have my work cut out for me. A degree of collateral damage is a given, and some lives may be lost, this is only to be expected.
My fist goal will be to cut back to well under a pack a day restricting ALL indoor nic fixes to vaping only. I plan on starting out with a DSE 109, and a 109b (for the usb passthrough)but if anyone has other suggestions please please please please feel free to put them out there!

Once I get my equipment and get started I plan on posting my progress as often as I can for the benifit of those to follow.
Thanks for any advise you might have.
Robert

Welcome, the dse 901 would be a good starter. If you like to vape in areas you don't want to be noticed get the Janty Kiss box with a manual switch, I find it great to control the vape so as not to be noticed. I use it in resturants, airplanes, malls etc...

I'm a bit like you, in length of addiction and quantity smoked. I quit July 17, 2008. After that, I struggled a lot and came up with this master game plan: Throw everything at the addiction. Everything is allowed except one thing -- inhaling tobacco smoke.

I now use snus (love 'em) and Stonewall Java dissolvable tobacco tablets (first thing in the morning and after each meal), in addition to e-smoking much of the day. E-smoking replaces the "habit' part of cigarette smoking in a way nothing else does. With my "use whatever I want" philosophy, I can get past urges for a cigarette (still very strong every day).

I always say to not put all your quit eggs in one basket. Read the "Alternatives" section for ideas. If necessary, chew nicotine gum, use a patch, do whatever in addition to e-smoking until you settle into a comfortable routine with your e-cigarette.

My favorite e-cig at the moment (I've tried most of 'em) is the Janty Dura.

Hi Robert, welcome to the forum

I assume you're getting the 901 kit? If so and you can afford to, get at least one more atomizer. I have 4 from 2 kits and feel secure knowing I won't be stranded should one, or two, die out all a sudden.

Good luck to you!

What does the manual switch do? What makes this device different?

You can control the production of vapor with the switch, it is not a flow sensor like the other vapors. For me I can control when I want the vapor to stop.
I usually vape a dse901 or 801 in my home or car but in a public place like a restaurant or in the air where I want to be discreet I use my Janty with the button.
