I was a 30+ a day smoker for 26 yrs with 4 breaks inbetween ranging from 9 months to 3 yrs (couldnt stop with 4th pregnancy ) I smoked cheap cigs,roll ups and most lately duty frees ranging from £8 (backy) to £35 (rip offs). A friend gifted me a cig lookalike that has sat in the drawer for the past 4 years (its still there now ), i got my first evod kit on the 5th of june and had my last cig on the 6th it's early days but have gone through a night out, a death at work (very upsetting he was a damn nice bloke), an appoint at drs (looking at another surgery) and my dad coming home with my cartons of cigs which are sitting on my table trying to tempt me (but I am past that) oh and people smoking around me both at home and work (blimey they stink) and the thought of having a cig hasn't really bothered me...............I'm in this for the long haul and I will do it.

I started smoking at age 14, at 18 I started DJing in nightclubs (you could still smoke in clubs back then)... and I would get through a pack in a 2 hour set. I gave up the club life after 18 years, changed job and changed smoking habit to roll-ups (trying to cut down/quit), tried patches, tried gum, nothing helped me quit smoking. Then a friend let me try his e-cig, and that was it for me... never looked back, and haven't smoked in 3 months!! I'm 40 now, and never felt better! lol

20+ a day for the last 30 years, 7 weeks straight no fags, only vaping but struggling to find something I like to vape. Now how mad is that? Thanks to the advice from this forum I now have better equipment. Just need to find a comfort e-liquid that I can enjoy everyday but will get there

Thanks to the advice from this forum I now have better equipment. Just need to find a comfort e-liquid that I can enjoy everyday but will get there firewall, congrats that's a great achievement!! What kind of flavours have you enjoyed so far?? I've been off the stinkies for 3 months, and have tried 20+ different juices in that time. Joose Juice Caramel Blend, is by far my farourite. It's a caramel/tobacco blend, it is sweet, but not ridiculous, and doestn't burn easily like some sweet liquids. If you are looking for a comfort vape give it a shot (JJ 10ml testers are only £1.49 so I've tried nearly all of 'em!!!) I guess it's all down to personal preference, but try out some of the JJ testers, at that price you can experiment!

leo thank you for the advice but my problem seems to be sweet can be too sick and sweet very quickly which makes me feel so its just a matter of time and try things till I find what appeals to me, I hope. Will give Caramel Blend a go still have to try Joose Juice so will add this to the list. I have about 15+ various Dekang stuff from cherry-tropical punch menthol ok in very very small dose to things like Gold DH (puke)so end up trying to see if adding bits and bobs will work Or it could just be my taste buds are just all over the place due to no cigs for 7 weeks! Congratulations on you 3 months and thanks again for your advice.

I was a light smoker about 100 to 150g of golden vergina a week got a cheapo ecig for work then after looking on here a itaste vv3 and have dropped to about 5 erm er cigs a day but prob less than one roll up a day Did not start vapeing to give up smoking but has almost ended up that way and less fag ash in the car Blimey, decoy - that's almost an ounce a day, in old money I went from about 50 (unfiltered!) rollups a day to zero - easy-peasy lemon squeezy. Mind you, over 2 years later I still vape at 36mg... I was going to comment on your 'golden vergina' but better not, ladies present, let's call it a typo

I finally just vape.....mainly since joining here......can't afford to do both now......lots of shiny things to buy
Seriously though, like many others, I tried and failed to stop, many times. Used to panic if I got low on cigs or tobacco, real sweaty panic.....ugh
But once I started vaping, having no tobacco didn't matter, and now I just vape. Feel so much better, and I'm slowly convincing my old brain that it doesn't want burning tobacco, it's got a spinner/protank/ and lovely flavoured juices.
Passed on this forum to a lady at a wedding we photographed today, hope she joins

Used to be between 20 and 30 a day, variously roll-ups, straights and then roll-ups again. Now probably 1 every 2 days (on average, normally first thing when I'm not very together, but occasionally after an evening meal). I'm not sure how I've slipped back into it but I shall persevere and cease. One in 3 are discarded almost immediately after lighting, not that that makes it so much better. Damn - confessed. Nothing cathartic there.

Smoked 20 a day and switched completely to vaping. I jumped the gun a little and didn't start with eGos, been satisfied ever since.

Hi, I smoked for 50 years, increasing my ciggies to 20 a day for the last 10yrs at least, I stopped smoking the real thing on 15th March, and not had one since, and I don't even fancy one at all, ( I hope it last) I know I am lucky to have found this vaping lark

I too smoked for 40 years. Vaping is the only thing that has worked. It will be a year at the end of next month since I stopped smoking.
