In just 10 days i feel so much better after quitting fags.

Congrats!

I think I've gonna almost the same amount of time without the stinky sticks... And totally agree. I've banned the missus from smoking in both my car and hers (when I'm in it). [emoji38]1: The smell of cigarettes is pretty horrible now. And to think i always used to smell like that....

Vaping definitely doesn't feel like an addiction. Most enjoyable experience.... Well in the usage sense.

My wallet however doesn't feel quite the same. Probably spent the best part of £300 in less than a month since I started vaping

For the first 2 years of vaping I kept a spreadsheet that detailed all the money I spent on new kit, juice and accessories in one column and in the next column the cost of 20 ciggies a day. I must admit that I was (still am) a sucker for getting new things. In the early days of vaping things were moving very fast and better products came out every few months. So, in the first 6 months of vaping I actually spent more than I would have on the ciggies. Since then, I've been saving a fortune.
But, as you say, it's not really about the money. It's about feeling better and enjoying yourself. Just remember that vaping is not for everyone, I know plenty of smokers who want to keep smoking.
Good luck on your journey

hi mate good for you well done................

Well done! I' in my 5th year of vaping and not one fag. I don't miss the stinkies at all now.
There has been moments while on holiday to buy a pack of fags due to the cost of them but i didn't weaken.
Vaping while on holiday is a great way to start a conversation with other like minded peeps i find!

I find it interesting we notice how much money we are parting with on vape stuff but ignored or just didnt notice how much we spent on stinkies.
What was your monthly spend on smoking?

My monthly spend on smoking was roughly on average £100 per month. Luckily it was easy enough to get cheaper tabacco on the ferry as my missus is French so go to visit the in laws every couple of months.

Mostly smoked rollies during the week, and if going out to the pub would buy a couple of packs of 20. Easily able to smoke 40 on a night out!


I'm certainly not against how much I'm spending on vaping. You can't really put a price on your health. But it is slightly worrying....

I think I may have to do something similar. Spending far too much at the moment.
It's the exact same for my other hobby, airsoft. Always new stuff I have to buy!

Nevertheless I'm not smoking, and would prefer to keep it that way so if it means buying something new every couple of months to keep me interested then I shall continue.

Now when im around smokers the smell is really off putting and very strong but when i smoked i never really notice it. Im breathing much much better and not coughing and spluttering all the time. My eyes which used to look really bloodshot are now whiter than they have been in years (I'm assuming that is because of blood flow).

The best bit is now I'm vaping it feels enjoyable not an addiction.

i would never go back.

Very well done, I really hate the smell of fags now.

It's different tho. You NEED fags. No two ways about it. But do you really NEED yet ANOTHER mod or tank? No, you want another one. And another. And another. Despite the setup you've got being perfectly adequate. But fags are not a want, they're a need. That's why the cost is viewed differently. Justification.


Congrats OP.

 

[Gee Dub]

I find i'm worse than someone who's never smoked when it comes to the smell, and everyone stinks!

Vaping = Good.

The day i started vaping, is the day i quit the poison sticks, not touched one for a year now. Good luck, keep vaping
