What's new

Smokeaholic about to take the plunge.

Congratulations mate and welcome. The first step is always the worst. Now enjoy your new way of life. Breath deeply, and, what no cough.:woohoo:
 
Blossom. Thank you so much for the video, it helped a lot. Though when it started he asked me to hold off on smoking, all the while he was vaping, very unfair. (fail... I smoked anyway)


thanks to everyone for the welcome and your words of encouragement, I feel I have made a good choice coming here, even though the word “fag” throw me off until I goggled it.


I have questions of a few options I feel will get me started out. One I can find no reviews on. So I will be moving to New User Questions with them.
 
Lol! There's loads,
Gotta be honest, -banana is not my thing but I believe
*ahem* excuse me, -monkey jizz is highly rated....
 
You are genuinely not alone my friend.

Not only do I not smoke any more.

This is is better!

and that's the winner, right there, it's not a replacement, it's an improvement.

As as a tool for giving up smoking, this is the one

I don't even have to wish you luck. I know you'll enjoy this more.
 
There's all kinds of flavours from custard to fruit to chilli to absinthe to well just about anything you can think of (a company called hangsen do a hot dog flavour) I'm not going near that one also at my local shop they've now started doing pizza flavour

If you'd told me three months ago I would like smoking "Apple Pie and Custard", I'd have sent for the men in the white coats for you....There's a whole world of flavours and adventures for your tastebuds out there, once you stop the cigarettes and your tastebuds come back to life....The fact that you want to stop is the first step that we've all taken...It's not a giant leap, it's just a first step and we're all here to hold your hand.....Think of it this way, You don't wake up every half hour or so at night when you go to sleep, to have a smoke, and it's just the same with vaping....you have a vape when you want one and don't when you don't, you still get your nicotine hit whenever you want with the vaping, but not the tars and carcinogens that you have in tobacco smoke....welcome aboard the planet of the vapes.....If in doubt or want someone to talk to just holler, there's loads of us here who will help you on your journey....
 
The big thing for me was not starting out with an "all or nothing" attitude. I vaped, but still smoked when I wanted - I just found that the vaping meant I only wanted to smoke 4 or 5 a day, with no effort on my part. No pressure (which would've just served as a barrier to switching). I still do smoke those 4 or 5, but I've not beat myself up about it, as every day that's 12-15 not smoked, but the desire to drop those last cigs has increased in the last 2 or 3 months, and I hope to do so in the Spring.

One thing I do find that, whereas in the past, the last thing I would ever forget to take out with me was my fags (and if driving, that was impossible, as the first thing I'd do was light up as I started the car) - now it's the vaping gear that is never far from my side, and I often leave for work realising I've no cigarettes with me - which I just shrug off and replace with the ecig (because of vaping restrictions at work, 2 or 3 of the cigs I have are there usually).

I joined the forum the day I got my ego/CE4 blister pack in the market (I'd tried and bored of cig-a-likes a few months earlier) - so the one advice I tend to give others who have been lucky/sensible enough to join POTV before purchasing their first kit would be to not bother with the CE4 and go straight for an Evod or iclear 16 as a first clearo (or one of the glass Kanger tanks if cost isn't an issue). Ego batteries are fine to start with, and won't be redundant as back-ups if/when you upgrade later.

Welcome to the madhouse!
