You started vaping to......?

[Angela]

With all the anecdotal evidence on the forum, I though it might be interesting to have a poll as to your original intentions when you stated vaping and where you are NOW with it.

The poll is an open one, so everyone can see who voted for what.

So, come on, have you given up completely? Did you intend to? Let everyone know!

I have quit completely since Jan. 17 with no urge to smoke analogs since I started this.

I started vaping to give up cigs. I just told myself that vaping was my only option and it was that or nothing. It worked better than I ever thought it would!

A lighter thread

I first got the idea when I saw a banner headline on CNN. I had never heard of it. I did some research and thought it'd be a great way to quit smoking and save some cash. Right now I'm in the hole about $240 and have not vaped my 1st cart yet. (Today, maybe?!?!?!) I'll let you know how it goes. I have 1 1/2 pack of smokes left and I'm hoping to never buy another!

I started vaping to quit smoking and it is helping tremendously!

Smoked from close to 60 cigarettes per day (yes, I'm a hardcore smoker) for 34 years to about 10 now and vaping the rest of the time.

I'm very hopeful

I gave up analogs after my 1st battery was charged. I was impressed since I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker and don't miss them. It's been almost 2 months for me

I started to quit cigs. Haven't had an analog since I opened the box a week ago.

I was a 37 year heavy smoker and this is the longest I've gone without a cig since I was 13.

@ Avid I'm really hopeful as well

 

[Catanonia]

With intention to completely replace analogs and did so from day 1 from 30 a day for 15 or more years.

 

[BiteMe]

I'm down to 2 or 3 analogs a day. Soon to be 0 I hope!

As usual, I don't fit (not really your fault, Angela!)

I starting vaping without a lot of expectation. I thought maybe it would allow me to "smoke" without the smell, as possibly provide some health benefit. I'm also very techie, and it appealed to my geek-dom.

To date, I smoke an analog very occasionally (5-10 a month?) and also use NRT gum, lozenges, snus, and nasal snuff (tho not all at once!) to supplement my e-cig habit.

I find if I mix it up, I don't have as much of the "habit" hanging over my head, and it's easier to get through the day without major cravings.

I was never a heavy smoker, but did not enjoy waking up in the morning with my mouth tasting like old cigs.

One day I saw a Smoking Everywhere kiosk and thought it was a joke. I decided to research...found this website and vapeatron. Decided to get into it, seeing as I hated smoking analogs. I ordered a DSE-084 and a M402. Got them in the mail and have probably only smoked about 5 analogs over the last month.

Agreed, after patches, gum, & Chantix...........this has worked like a charm and has been 10 times easier (and 10 x's more expensive) than I ever imagined.............

 

[ApOsTle51]

I smoked 1/2 ounce of rolling tobacco per day . That was until August last year. Since I've been using e-cigs I have probably smoked around 2 1/2 - 3 ounces of baccy in total.

I still have the odd one now and then , just because my job means I havent always got access to my e-cigs.

So on average I probably smoke 2 -3 ciggies a day , some days none. Certainly alot better than 20-a-day or so.

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

Not enough choices on the poll, Angela. I had no intention to cut down or give up, just wanted to vape where smoking wasn't allowed. Bars, mainly, but cinemas and airplanes are more fun these days, too...

Gave up without meaning to. Only wanted to save money because cigarettes too expensive now.
