New to the forum and looking forward to learning more

[jinnx]

Hey everyone.  Thought I'd do a starter message to say hi.  I'm new to the forum and pretty new to vaping.  I'm currently on day 27 of not smoking.  First couple of days I tried going cold turkey, which I've tried before and it always sends me a bit loopy.  So I bought a disposable, then rechargeable cigarette to try and limit some of the side effects.  I'd tried them before and they didn't help much, but I really wanted to stop because my son HATES smoking with a passion and his distress at me smoking really got to me.  I decided this time I'd try a few different brands and types of e-cig in the hope of finding something that would help me get of the cigarettes without being too bat-cr@p crazy in the process(!)  This time around the second e-cig I tried was an eGo.  Before I'd always done ones that didn't use juice.  Anyway this time it's been so much better.  I don't want a cigarette at all now  and unlike every other attempt at stopping there's been no temptation to have another one (not even the "I'll just have one, it won't hurt" self justification) because I prefer this so much more.

The good side is, this is cheaper for me, the vapes taste so much nicer than cigarettes, I don't have to go out and smoke in the freezing cold, plus this time around my OH (a DIE HARD smoker!) has been tempted over the the Vaping side and hasn't had a cigarette for two weeks either.  It did take a bit of persuasion to just try a bit of the one I'd bought but now we're both converts.

The only bad side is I'm currently going through the negative side effects of quitting the cigarettes and getting rid of everything I've inhaled into them over the years.  I keep reading this is normal, which is reassuring, but it's still maddening and uncomfortable.  Can't wait for this part to be over!

Looking forward to finding out lots more about vaping on here.

Welcome to AAEC - an ego will do you fine to start with. Never fear, we love helping you buy the right equipment for you - mainly because we've spent all of our own money already on shiny new things

Hi,

Thanks.

Oh I know, I'm mad about them already I've bought another one today!  Been looking at a few online too.  My OH has an Evod too, so we switch around with each other's.  I don't think it'll be long before I have a go at something more sophisticated than starter kits, but I'm so glad I tried them

jinnx - 10 months in, and I can see in front of me 7 batteries/mods, 9 clearos/tanks, more juice than I can count and I DONT have shinyitis yet! (& that's only on the table! Not the stuff elsewhere!)
I have about 12 batteries for my mods, 1 mod & 1 tank en-route.....

Don't ask blakey to tell you all his gear

Make sure you buy your gear from a reputable vendor
