60 plus cigs

[Toondog]

Well it's been three days since I got my Vamo, that's 60 plus cigs not smoked and to be honest the thought of a role up is quite disgusting. I know it's early days but the whole smoking thing was starting to be a grind, losing my mother and my dads heart attack were probs not the primary reason for me wanting to give up bizarrely. I've always gone through phases of not enjoying smoking every year or so so when it happened this time I thought I'd strike while the irons hot as it were.
Interestingly enough I've had withdrawal even though I'm not missing out on nicotine. Must be all that ammonia and benzine and other crap, broke out into a sweat in town today and have felt just a tad weird for most of the day but not tempted to have a cig.
I'm enjoying the different settings on my Vamo, 6 watts in the morning, 9 when I'm in a rush 7 when I really want to taste the flavour, I've cleaned and put back together both my vivi's with no probs and even mixed a bit of vanilla with my 7 wolves to stand in for the ry4 till I get some more. I had a good old vape in costa coffee this afternoon with my Americano and no one batted an eyelid. The only prob is my 14 year old son who is convinced we'll get knicked cos it looks like a bong!?! How does he know what a bong looks like? Apparently he's seen them on police interceptors! Oh that and a bit of a dry mouth.
After one day I was breathing through my nose when I went to sleep, that's not happened for as long as I can remember so long in fact I'd stopped thinking about it!
I hope the big tobacco company don't get their way and take over through regulation pushing the price through the roof because I'm really happy to have found this. A full time smoker since I was 13.
Just some thoughts

Chris.

well done chris,and i mean that sincerely ,think everyone here can relate,glad you said about the blocked nose,i was exactly same and you brought memories back on the feeling of breathing through my nose again. you may find days when you cant find a decent vape or even have 1 rollie just to see,but youve made a great achievement already and as a x smoker I know what that means.
ps what is a bong

Well done!!!

You've started off with good kit, that's the key.

Made me laugh that your lad thinks your vamo looks like some sort of bong.

Well done Chris. What's 7 Wolves like? Always pondered that one

All your sweats and dry mouth episodes are a reaction to coming off the chemicals in cigs a, i got cravings still at 4 weeks but i just increased my nic for a week, never looked back, i vape at 12mg at home and 24 at work because its much less frequent that i get the opportunity and 24mg does make me vape alot less.

Keep up the good work, it gets better when you find what you like regarding strengths and flavours.

Well done Chris, It is a bit weird isn't it ?

Haven't even thought about a fag for nearly six months now, I AM definately a non-smoker.

Just keep at it and your health, and bank balance will thank you for it

"I was breathing through my nose when I went to sleep, that's not happened for as long as I can remember " can relate to that one,loke you mother gave up got bowel cancer,recovered,missus packed up cold turkey[repesct lol] 2 suspect heart attacks,bowle and breathing problems, cameras in every orifice for tests,soo can agree bit of a scary,but like you enough was enough with stinkies ,bit the bullet and went for it,bin tempted a bit for a stinkie but soon passed...good luck and welcome

ps stay away from looking at shiny stuff.................once bitten i never stops lol

Well done my friend, you've achieved the hardest part now. I gave up nearly 4 months ago, and 3 weeks after quitting had to have 2 weeks off work due to high blood pressure and palpitations. My GP and myself both think it was my body reacting to the lack of chemicals floating around - sort of, WTF where has the tar and Formaldehyde gone!
Stick with it, by the time you get to three months you will be fine. I've been out for a few pints with a mate tonight in a vape-friendly pub, and it was a real pleasure. No tobacco cravings, no stink, and I'm now back home vaping in plumes of steam enjoying the fact that I can smell my exhaust (from my PV you understand, not the other!).

Maybe a bit much for an all dayer, lovely with a strong cuppa this afternoon. Added a bit of vanilla this evening to mellow it down and it vapes like mad now, clouds and clouds of the stuff, at 6.5 watts as well lovely taste.

Thanks for your comments everyone, much appreciated.
