I was a 2-pack a day smoker, mainly Kool Blue 100s or Newport 100s. Menthol was my taste, but would sponge a Marlboro while in the field in the Army. After switching to vaping Halo Sub-Zero 24mg, my taste for analog cigarettes vanished. Some time later, my desire for hitting my cherry bomber deminished. So I ask my fellow FReepers and FReepettes, do you vape? Has it helped you kick the habit?

Not another Libertarian thread. :-)
I have a friend who vapes pot, or specifically some kind of liquid concentrate he gets from Colorado, and his pen looks just like my wife’s Maybelline mascara applicator thingy.
It is way narrower and sleeker than my (nicotine) vape.
Friends urge me to get a newer style vape, but I love, LOVE, 18650 batteries, which I already use for flashlights. They hold a charge for a long time.
No, I wouldn't want that. I was just curious.

Thanks to this thread, I bought my first vape kit last night and will start today if all goes well...
My first attempt to ever get off cigs after ~35 years..
In all those years I'd only tried quitting once before and after a few weeks I picked it up again, because I really liked smoking. This time would be last time I quit and I just stopped, cold turkey. I'm a non-smoker now.
A few weeks after that I bought a SMOK A-10 Stick and now and then I'd take a puff or two, usually the dang thing wouldn't be charged up and after plugging it in I'd forget about it. It only lasted about 2 or 3 months and the battery died.
About 6 months ago I bought a better one, a SMOK V-8 Stick and it's great but it leaks so bad I can't take it anywhere. So far in about a year I've only used 2 30ml bottles of the juice I like, so I'm a very infrequent vaper.
Any suggestions on small, pocket sized vapes or e-cigarettes that are worth the trouble?
I quit for nine years and then messed around with cigars and pipes and got started on them and had a tougher time quitting them.
The first time I quit in my late 30s I went cold turkey and it worked. The second time I used the gum and failed three times before it took and then was addicted to the gum for years.
Something that helped me the first time and then in the end in quitting was the knowledge of the smoking urge time limit and how to ignore it. When that terrible urge to smoke hit like a truck, I stood up and faced a blank wall. I found that the urge would not last 90 seconds and often just 30 seconds. I would realize how short a task it was to endure and sit down or go about my business.
congrats on your efforts to quit.
Ive never used the vape pen style,, only the full size rigs, currently on my third rig, the smok procolor ..
the struggle continues
