Does anyone here vape?...my fiancé and I just got into this about a month ago and I have to admit, I just can't get into it...I haven't bought cigarettes since we started (although I did have one on Sunday from my future sister-in-law) but it just doesn't give me the same fix as the real thing...I'm keeping it up so as to support my future hubby in his endeavor to quit (pretty much had to because of his new job hauling a propane tanker) I'm thinking of becoming a "closet smoker" LOL...any insight from fellow vapers?
 
I vape, and I quit smoking by vaping, a year this November. Smoked a pack a day for nearly 15 years, and been a smoker since 17. Im 37 now.

I smoked a pack of belmonts a day or more, almost 400 a month.

I bought a new car and the payments are less than smoking, so I cant go back.

I found a flavor I like and ive stuck with it. I still have a smoke here and there but mostly the smell and taste gross me right out now.

im cutting my nicotine down, hope to be zero mG soon. Would be nice to have no bad money wasting habits except motorcycles lol.
 
Let me add to my post, my inspiration for quitting, was money. I liked smoking, but it killed me when I added up how much a month, year, decade I spent on it.

Just spend the money on a Really good setup first and dont mess around with crappy cheap kits. get the real deal vapes, that give you the big hit, start off with some high mg nicotine, and it will fix you good

Im using this setup, even though it says starter kit, I assure you, its quality stuff and works amazing.

theres a few vape shops in toronto selling this kit for 100 dollars (ish)

i started vaping last yr. Reduced my cigarete from half a pack a day to 0 cigarete in about 6months vaping. I tried different kinds of flavor. I started from higher nic and reduced every other bottle of juice. Until i got rid of the nic in my juice.

I seldom use my vape in the last 3 months and now i quit smoking and quit vaping all together.

I even hate the smell of the cigarete now.

Can be a good way to quit smoking. It works to some people but not all. There are some people in my workplace who tried vaping but didnt work for them. But there are some who quit smoking but still cannot get rid of the nic in their juice.
I guess it all depends on the user.

Havent smoked in 2 years and My vape level is 0-3 now from 12mg. It takes time.Most common reason that vaping doesnt work it is because of improper level of nic + taste of juice. Its always good to start higher to lower the urge
PM me how much you smoke regularly before you started vaping. Ill give you some juice with 3 diff levels free. Play with it. It also come with % of PG/VG. starter kits are good with higher PG than VG. that also means more harsh to the throat and less vapor. More VG means thicker fluid and more vapor and less flavor and needs to run in a better unit. Atleast your trying. specially this winter. I love vaping indoors

Honeslty i came from almost a pack to 0 and 1 mg in hlf a year. The key is not using those stupid crappy vape cheap mod box and invest in a decent box and GREAT flavours. I find that vaping gets boring if the flavours sucks. My addiction went from craving to making clouds. Then over time i wouldnt even bother bringing the vape with me on some days. Im slowly not thinking about vaping unless im at work where every trade smokes chimney.


Checkout jugheads for flavours. They make tasty organic flavours. They open a few days a month so make sure u follow their fb page.

I have the kanger tech mini subox and a spare tank with the rba coils running .4-.5 ohms

thanks to everyone for the replies...I do have a good unit..it's the Eleaf Istick 30W...I've got strawberry, banana, kiwi, and even a mountain dew flavour...they all taste the same to me because I guess after smoking for as long as I have, my taste buds are shot...as for mg, I'm using a 6mg liquid right now...used to smoke 8-10 cigarettes a day during the school year (I teach and didn't smoke during the day) and a pack a day during the summer...was smoking king size studio reds...maybe I need a 12 mg liquid...I get my stuff at the Village Vaporette in Cambridge if anyone west of the city is looking for a place...
 
I have a local guy on my Instagram that rides, he doesn't ride street anymore so I haven't seen him in person in a while, anyways he was a heavy smoker. Now he VAPE's, and it looks like Vaping has taken over his life. I almost feel like deleting him, because evey 5 minutes he posts pic and video of "rigs" "oil" "coils" "clouds" etc etc etc.

It makes me wonder if that much Vaping really better then a smoke or 2 a day? I guess it depends on what you are using for an "oil"

Either way I cant wrap my head around it, it seems like ditching one habbit for another that is less harmful, but is there any real regulation currently on what you are actually vaping? Personally I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey 6 or more years ago. Well kinda I went cold turkey for a few months, then I had one and it made me so sic I almost puked, after that I have not had one since...And I started smoking in elementary school, I used to ride my bicycle to The Lone Star when it used to be at Square1, just outside the bathroom they had a cigarette vending machine...LOL

I guess its not just the actual Vaping, but the rest of it can turn into a hobby too with building mod boxs, wrapping your own coils, etc

Some of my friends have also tried it to kick smoking, but loose interest or the vape machine shopped working or was too much hassle and they got fed up with it and just went back to the death sticks
 
Noo noo. If you don't notice the HUGE difference in flavour then the person making them aren't great. Flavours are suppose to taste as smell as intended. It took me awhile to find a great maker. If it says apple, grapes, coke a cola, peach, or rice crispy then it's suppose to taste and smell like it. If it doesn't then you're missing out on the fun. It's what makes vaping addicting. Without it, your interest will quickly fade and before you know it, you're back to the death sticks.

The science around vaping is still in its infancy. There are some studies that suggest that it's worse than smoking because of the free radicals in the vapor.

It's hard to tell what is actual science and what is science that is funded by tobacco corporations when it comes to these things. The last thing tobacco corporations want to see is this take off as much as it has.
 
Vaping definitely helped me quit smoking. Went from 18mg to 11mg to 5.5mg to 2mg to 0nic. It helps getting the right setup. That iStick will do you good for a year or so but I wouldn't be buying a replacement. Better buy something that runs replaceable 18650 batteries. Sigelei Mini 30W is top-notch quality, just a little bigger than the iStick, but good 18650 batteries have a bit more capacity than your iStick and cost under $10 to replace. A good starter tank that can even take you all the way is the Subtank Mini. The coils are stupid easy to build/wick, decent performance, you really don't need anything better unless you are a hardcore vaper. Here's my setup:

Ha, there is a guy like that at work. He even started bringing vape gear in from China and selling it. Dude is sucking on that thing constantly, I mean constantly. Good and all he quit smoking but his new habit seems to have taken over his life.

I also quit cold turkey, probably over 10 years ago now. I bet if I tried vaping it would make me want to smoke.
