That's it - I quit!

[fred]

Well, I started my shiny (well, mostly black so far) collection on Friday 22nd, when my Riva kit arrived.
I have amassed 220ml of juice and some vanilla cartos (which suck, by the way - but I've topped one off with Cherry Pie & it's getting better)

So, I've been 'practising' since Friday - unfortunately, I'd purchased 50g baccy on Thursday, and being a tightwad, frugal, or whatever you want to call it, I thought I'd finish the baccy. However, the vaping has already vastly cut down on the amount I've been smoking.

Well, it has come to my attention that in about 1/2 hour it is 'National No Smoking Day',
I thought it was No Smoking Day, but it's not - but anyway I've just had (hopefully) my LAST EVER stinkie rollie.
I've binned the last 10g or so of baccy, and intend to only vape from now on.

I've not really wanted a fag since Saturday morning, so I'm fairly hopeful that I can manage.

Its just back to what I've said for a long time - "It's technically really easy to give up. You only need to do 1 thing. Don't buy any fags/baccy".
Well, I'm nearly £85 into vaping (after 5 days) so I can't afford any baccy now!

Wish me luck, peeps.

No Smoking Day was on 13th March, but good luck with the quitting - in quarter of an hour I hit my one year anniversary!

Lol, OCD seems to be a pre-requisite for us vapers.
My sig actually says 1 Year - (minus)1 Month and 30 days. Don't ask me why, the banner was fine and accurate up to 11 months. I'm hoping it will correct itself tomorrow!

Ah, a fellow bean counter! Did you know that "start vaping" and "stop smoking" are possibly two different points in time?
Hur hur =)

Well done fred!

Edit: Ah damn, seems like that wasnt the case here =)

Ah well - that's what comes of listening to my batty neighbour!!! (& not checking it out)

Still, the baccy's in the bin, and I'll not use that minor detail to retrieve it.

I've still quit!

I didnt see the Little minus

Obviously I'm improving from the OCD.......So the doctor was right then:)

Anyway gotta go......Need to check I turned the gas off on the Hob . . . . . . .

There's a world of interesting and strange flavors ahead of you, fred. If you like, don't see it as "Given up" but rather as "Started something exciting" - much more positive that way. For me vaping is smoking 2.0.

Welcome and the very best of luck Fred.

Nice work Fred, I chucked my baccy in the bin when my kit arrived and haven't wanted a cig since. I really didn't think it could be this easy (compared to previous attempts) I don't know why all smokers don't vape. It's a much nicer experience!

I didnt chuck the tabacco but gave to my brother.
Then 3 weeks later I got him into vaping he is also off the cigarettes and also his partner
Well done Fed welcome to the world of vaping

[lobeydosser]

Good luck Fred, you are on the right track.

Every journey starts with the first step.

[genguskhan]
