Friday, January 27, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. I had my last tobacco cigarette. I never imagined that i would be able to say that, but moments later my e-cigarette arrived in the mail I put the Camels down for good. After 25 years of smoking up to 2 packs a day, I was finally free. Today, I felt so good that I even went jogging. That is something that I have not done for decades. For anyone that is considering e-cigs for the first time, I strongly recommend it. To chart the path to being tobacco free, I started a blog when I ordered my first e-cig kit.

Well, I do think a cig is a lot different than pipe or a cigar, the tobacco quality is way different. I tried a cigarette once a couple months after I quit, and it was absolutely disgusting. I started as a pipe smoker, because I really do enjoy the flavor. I love my PV, but it just doesn't pair with the glass of scotch and a book the way my pipe does. It just helps that be the very occasional activity, as it should be.

The best way to start with DIY....Pick a flavor (premixed liquid) already in your collection....can be a flavor you like or don't like. 1. in a separate 3ml or 5ml bottle, put 1-2 mls of your premixed liquid. PG= 30 drops to a ml, VG=20 drops to a ml. Give or a take a bit. 2. Pick a flavor you want to mix with can be another flavor premixed liquid or flavoring. 3. If using flavoring...start with a couple drops of flavoring, add to liquid, mix and vape test. Dripping works best for testing. 4. if using premixed liquids...You can mix them 50/50 to start. or if you are fixing a flavor you dont much like....add less of the flavor you don't like and more of the flavor you want. 5. Creme de menthe is fairly strong....a couple drops will go a long way. You can add this to any liquid you want to spice up a bit..works like a menthol. A Little will add a bit of added flavor without being to minty/menthol. Always mix small until you find a combination you like.

ok experiment part 2. ok started vaping with almost 100%vg and had a runny nose and just didnt feel satisfied. part one of my little test was switching to a 70-30 mix, mostly pg and the throat hit is alot better and taste is better as well.Also runny nose disapeared. Ok heres part 2 of my experimentjust to see if It was just me or I had the sniffles. I am vaping a 70-30 mostly vg mix and guess what. my damn nose is running. so I guess I can conclude my little test and say pg stops my runny nose. There is one thing that gets me about it. every once in a while I smell coolant from a car. I know pg is in antifreeze, it freaks me out especially when im driving. ( im a lil anal about my car) Now im not a doc or scientist but I can say that pg works for me. who know it could make someone elses nose run or whatever. lol

It is great to see so many success stories. Now how do i get one of the Vapor Talk "Smoke Free" counters on my posts?

Just over two years for me.☺ my house and clothes and my person smell much better now.

Congratz and good luck on continued success
