So did I: unfortunately, I did it many times, and all I had to show for it was the weight gain.
Switched to vaping 9 months ago and I feel a lot better. Fell off the wagon once in Europe when I ran out of juice. Couldn't believe how bad the aftertaste from regular cigarettes was.
I vape now, with the occasional setback. Far better for oneself.
After vaping I will never go back to nasty tobacco products EVAH.
What flavors do you use?
Mine is a mix of “Butter Rum Lifesaver” and something called “Granny’s Custard”.
I did not use vaping to quit smoking; I was never a big smoker in the first place. However, I love vaping so much I had to enforce a few rules on myself:
No bringing it to work.
No driving and vaping.
Not inside the house proper, only in the garage (where I hang out a lot anyway)
I use an ancient RDS powered directly by an 18650 battery - no electronics or safeties, and if I accidentally activate it in my pocket, hoo boy, look out wiener!
