Thank you all.

Hi Guys & Girls,

I just thought I would say hello and offer my thanks for some of the great advice I've read while lurking on this forum. I was a 20 a day menthol smoker for almost 30 years, and had tried to give-up many many times using patches, gum, mints & inhalators etc. Sadly I failed miserably every time and was somewhat resigned to being a reluctant smelly smoker for the rest of my life.

In February I tried a ciga-like, then google introduced me to this site, and you guys introduced me to my little babies, namely 2 vision spinners & some iClear 16's. I've thoroughly enjoyed working my way through lots & lots of exciting juice flavours, some terrible & some absolutely devine.

From the moment I started vaping I haven't had, or even wanted a cigarette. After 4 months I now feel healthier, better smelling and far better-off financially. Unlike the stinkies, the Mrs allows me to vape inside the house, and I've even been known to vape in the bath :-)

I know this is where you nice folk often congratulate new members on their success stories, but in my case I don't feel that praise is justified because giving-up stinkies felt so easy this time.

Finally, and by way of caution, if you're considering vaping please ensure you have adequate contraception at hand because you will smell far more desireable to the opposite sex. I'm just hoping our local maternity ward allows vaping, cos I'll be doing some frantic pacing in 7 months time :-)

Once again, I thank you all, members & vendors.

Hi Didge

I also found it remarkably easy to give up the stinkies. Congratulations anyway, for keeping off the fags and for your other good news

Didge... congrats... but you've just given the authorities another reason to ban us on health grounds!

Seriously... well done.

Hiya Didge and a big vapey

Well done you saying Tease-smiley to those smelly cigs. It's such a great feeling when it finally hits you that you just don't need or want 'em anymore. Good choice with the spinners and iclear 16s, those heads just keep going and going and going.

Hello & welcome Didge

If you don't want us to congratulate you on giving up smoking, (though I still think you deserve it) then instead congratulations for your other good news

Welcome to the dad-to-be club! I fully intend to be vaping out the delivery suite window. Might even get some cigar juice for the occasion!

If they don't allow vaping I will be fighting the missus for the gas & air!

I'm ahead of you on the cigar hunt, I've tried some "Cuban style RY4" and some steeped "El Toro Guevara" but sadly neither reminded me of a real cigar. I suspect I may have to resort to the real thing, but Im sure that will be the only time I burn the weed again.

Thank you all for such a kind welcome.

Welcome from me too
See, the problem with all these fancy clearos is that nobody has to use the condom method anymore like we did in carto days
