Just Saying Hello

[Shelley]

I can not believe that after smoking all of this time that I could stop just like that and start vaping !!! Amazing!!! Tried almost everything that the market had to offer and never would have believed that this would do it. Why didn't someone tell me this years ago? Now I'm telling everyone, well those that listen lol

[cheryli]

I know. Isn't it amazing. I got mine in the mail after doing tons of research so I knew what to do with it...never had another analog. Congratulations.

Welcome to the forum and isn't it just wonderful...I quit very fast also after 50 years of analogs..

Welcome Shelly. I was told about ecigs about 2 years ago, but never followed through. I kind of whish I did, but at the same time, I'm kind of glad I didn't. I look at OLD posts from 2 years ago, and it seemed there still wasn't alot of GOOD products out yet, and alot of people got frustrated and stopped vaping. I mean if I had to use one of the 'analog' looking ecigs, that only lasted an hour, and pay $7 bucks for, I would have given up. But that my opinion, and I could be wrong, maybe I would have stuck it out.

Welcome, Shelley

[frosting]

Congratulations! It really does feel amazing. All that is required is the want to quit, and even then without it I think it can greatly help some cut down on their cigg intake. After my 3rd day I feel like I'm in the clear. Only wish I did it sooner as well

Congratz and keep up the good work

It is truly amazing, isn't it? I quit right away - after smoking for 34+ years. I am coming up on my two year anniversary of being smoke free and I'm still amazed by it.

Congratulations and welcome!

Welcome to VT. And congratz on the decision to toss the analogs. This is the most helpful forum I have been on, so if you have any questions, just holler.

[DAYVAPE]

It really is quite amazing! I remember when I first found out about them on the internet in some ad or something... I had never heard of them before at all. I thought they looked mighty interesting to say the least... so I started doing a bit of research and landed on the Vapor Talk website/forum. Shortly after, I ordered my first e-cig and gave it a shot, and didn't want another analog from then on. I never thought it would be that easy... nor was I even planning on quitting analogs in the first place... it just kind of fell in my lap and loved it. It's nice to hear about all of the great success stories from everyone... and to think that there is such a debate over them is insane! It's crazy that something that has saved/is saving so many people, and improving the everyday lives of those using them... could create such a huge fiasco! I never have really understood 'those people' that are so against them... but then remind myself that it's all about money to that group of individuals anyway.

Hi Shelly! Yep - vaping is amazing.

+1 to OP!! and I'll vape to that.

<--- has to +1 because I accidentally clicked the like button and it unliked my like because I had already liked it at an earlier date and didn't remember. Note to self: wake up!!

Same here I investigated the device & medical info for about 2 months on this site & a few others. And finally decided to give it a go once I figured what kind of PV would best fit to begin my journey. In the past, I've tried Zyban & the patch, &the gum. None of it worked longer than a month. I was kind of skeptical on whether it really would work for me or not, but remained hopeful. But from the moment of my first vape after dinner the first night, I felt satisfied the rest of the evening. The next morning, I vaped with a cup of my morning coffee. By mid morning, I decided to try a cigarette & could barely finish it. That was my very last cig to date. The first 3 days were difficult, but I knew this is my only way out so vaped through the discomfort. Since then, I see no good reason to switch back to analogs.I'm converting my little brother, my cousin, my step dad -- everyone I love - to make the switch by trying out my device. I know they don't need to suffer anymore under the spell of cigarettes Just vape & celebrate the joy of being free.Congrats on your new freedom! Keep up the good fight.

Welcome. Kinda new here myself but been vaping for near two years.

Yep. That 3 piece Joye is long gone but worth every effort. It's a nice forum and people here are genuine for help.

Congrats!

[Kingbtheone]

whats up! im late as usual, i didnt believe getting off the cigs would be this easy either, 11 months analog free!

[pleasurepuffer53]

Just have to jump in and agree wholeheartedly (sp?). Ran into my reg. conv. store today for a drink and mentioned my e-cig to the counter lady :secret:Lots of smokers in my teeny tiny town who are desperate to quit. Suggested they get on the internet and look at FV. Wish there were more local retail avail. for folks who can't shop online. My first purchase was the pricey and disappointing result of not enough research. Have managed to remain tobacco free 3+ weeks and my e-go tank is on the way . What I really love is being able to vape anywhere (well almost). No more spouse complaints.

love the smileys

Welcome to Vapor Talk pleasurepuffer. Is that a Bulldog in the pic? I own one named Tula Congratz on quitting

[pleasurepuffer53]

Congrats to you...94+ days. I can't get over how easy it was. The bulldog pic. came off the internet illustrating his position over the ice. After 60+ days of over 100++ degrees in a row down here in TX, I went crazy over this guy all sprawled out cooling himself off.

Say "hi" to Tula

[Viper Ron]

Yeah they don't like heat lol. I will say hi for ya

Thanks for the congratz, it is amazing, wish I had this years ago

[alan]
