I started in May 2008, and haven’t looked back. They just tasted better.
I also didn’t turn into a tobaccophobic nazi.
Still love the scent of burning tobacco.
In the end it is very simple.
What you would ‘like’ -VS- What you ‘want’.
What you ‘like’ is this minute, today, this week, trending...
What you ‘want’ is the direction of this expedition(life).
I liked smoking, I want to be a non smoker.
Then it became easy, and eventually comfortable.
Good luck.
I have, several times.
IMHO, the hardest part with vaping is there aren’t a lot of standards. The best place to get supplies is the web, but there’s a several day delay to get them. There are more and more vape shops, but one shop carries one type of coils and they only fit the tanks/batteries they carry. Another shop has their brands. So sometimes you can get juice, but no hardware from a given shop.
What I’m getting to is you have to plan ahead to have plenty of juice and hardware so you don’t run out, because especially at first, if you run out or something breaks, you’ll hit the analogs before you can resupply unless you have a local source.
Some people do have issues with PG and/or VG. Some of the vape juices irritate my throat/lungs or sinuses. Old coils can cause irritation too.
But it’s worth it to find what works and get off the coffin nails even if it’s not quite as good as quitting altogether. I tried a pack a few months ago when my battery went wonky and couldn’t even get through half of it - it tasted so bad.
smoked up to 3 packs a day (seriously) for over 20 years. I was given an ecig to try out over a weekend and have never looked back in the last 8 years. Same thing for my wife.
I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years (Camel Filters and Marlboro Reds). Started vaping 3 years ago. I started off vaping instead of smoking during work hours and just smoked at home and on the weekends. Did that for about 4 months, then went to just vaping. I vape 6mg nicotine now and feel soooo much better! I went out drinking and smoked a real cigarette and it was horrible.
My son-in-law smoked for 30 years, he started vapping cutting back nicotine level each time he replaced his vap oil.
After awhile he was at zero and only vaped because he liked it. Now he vaps maybe twice a week.
Yes! I started in Aug 2015 and I haven’t touched a cigarette since. I use Halo Menthol Ice (it gives me that.. sensation in my throat that mimics the menthols I so loved).
I started after my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. She wishes we had something similar when she was younger, even though she quit 10 years after she started. She passed away in October 2015 and even if I didn’t have vaping I probably wouldn’t touch another one, anyways.. but it really helps.
Golden Blend, then Snus, then gum. Non-smoker for many years now.
Just stay away from the hash oil.
You’ll be worshipping Gia in no time and spouting the settled science of GloBull Warming.
I’ve upgraded to the new e-Cigar (Cubano) and use a custom load of nicotine, caffeine (double expresso) and medical marijuana, and Centrum daily vitamins.
It really launches my morning! I’m energized, focused, healthy and laid back - all at the same time.
I’m not quitting!
Good luck however it turns out.
I smoke a pack every 3 days and I don’t inhale.I vape very late at night so as not to open doors and wake people up.Not noticed a difference.
No drug or tobacco addiction for me.
I finally quit when I scared myself into thinking it was causing cancer of my voice box. I made myself think of cancer of it ever time I lit up.
It didn't take long and I had to go to the doctor so he could assure me that I didn't have cancer. I never smoked another cig and now the smell makes me sick.
I started vaping in early 2009. I started out by vaping and smoking. About a week later I lost the desire for cigarettes. I had to try a few different e-cigs before I found one I really liked. I use the Titan by Totally Wicked.
I don’t know about vaping but many seem to have the vapors lol
I vape. I like it a lot. I started with a cig-a-like type set up and moved on to more watts and fewer ohms (vapers know what I mean by that.)
I smoked all my life and have now been vaping for 6 years. I think of it as a hobby — learning about all the devices and specifications, trying all the juice flavors, and waiting out the big online sales.
I only vape at home though, because people are so judgy (as evidenced by some comments on this thread.) I don’t vape at work or around other people, but it’s no big deal because I don’t jones for it like I did with cigs. I am perfectly happy to wait until I am home and settled in. I don’t feel addicted to it because I spend most of the day not vaping.
I couldn’t smoke a real cig if you paid me.
Naaah. I quit back in the old days when the choices were to gradually cut back or cold turkey.
I quit 20 years ago and I still want a damn cig.
Rehab is for quitters.
