I'm sure everyone has heard or seen the new wave alternative to smoking. The e-cig. I tried the disposeable kits for awhile and nothing seemed to help so I had all but gave up hope. Someone suggested I take the plunge and spend the money on a full kit from well known companies.

So far I've been 3 months without an actual cigarette (I still enjoy my hookah and a clove once in awhile when the craving hits me. I didn't want to despise the vape cig so if I cant hold off, I give in to just one.)

My battery is an Innokin iTaste VV
I can change the voltage to my liking and at about a 7.0 - 7.5 suits me just fine whereas my boyfriend prefers his at 9.0 - 10.0


My tank is a Kangertech Protank 2. I did have an Evod but it's holding capacity is small and I was refilling it once or twice a day.


And then, not that this part matters at all, but it's a bit of customization and lets you make your e-cig your own. I bought a stylized drip tip. It fits fine after I changed out the little rubber washer to one slightly bigger. I found the rubber piece at a hardware store.


Nobody really knows the long term effects of using the liquid nicotine but I'm down to 18mg and soon to be at 12mg. Eventually I'll be weened off of it completely. My 'sort of' mother in law has COPD and switched to the e-cig with amazing health success. Her doctor said she was doing much much better than her tests showed when she was smoking a pack a day. At 5.99 for 10ml of liquid that equates to a carton of smokes - you sure cant beat the savings.

Take it one day at a time, dont refuse yourself a smoke when a strong craving hits and before long you'll answer a craving and find that the cigarette tastes absolutely terrible. You wont want it.

Well congratulations on quitting! Personally, I never found it hard to quit..BUT...I only smoked for a week so maybe I didn't get addicted to it. I just stopped one day cause I didn't want to do it anymore, lol.


Now soda on the other hand.....I can't go 1 day without drinking 1....or 12...

Yea, soda is a whole new ball game that I will soon tackle. I'm down to sierra mist mixed with mango or raspberry tea flavoring that my place of employment carries. Eventually I'd like to get down to V8 splash or whatever. Tea helps a lot, but I tend to like mine made with too much sugar. Speaking of sugar - I need to buy a stevia plant so I can substitute.

Nah...forget that. No reason to stop drinking soda. Smoking and drinking, sure but not soda. Not my precious....precious soda...brb getting a drink

Lol. It would cut back on dentist visits. Thats for sure. At least for me.

But it's soooo good.

congrats

Congratulations to you. Both of my parents have been smokers all their life (since about 16 years old for each of them) Seen the effects its had on my dad (who still smokes) and how much better you can be (mom who has quit). Seems you've moved fairly far along with the process, getting down lower and lower with it. Glad to see someone making a positive move for themselves.

Congratulations keep it up

Congratulations! I’m so proud that you did this! Moreover, you should be proud of yourself that you overcame this difficult obstacle!
