One year of no analog ciggs. Tomorrow is the actul anniversary date.

when I started using the vapor method, I was on 36 nicotine strength. I vaped the menthol kind...thought I needed to stay as close to the analog as possible to make it work.

Today I am at 6 mg and have preferred flavors like Magic melon, smoothe watermelon and flavors like that.

My plan is this year to drop down to 3 and then to 0 and then to not do it at all.

Though vaping is still viewed with scorn where I live, having never lived a day in my life without some form of nicotine in my system, I'm thankful every day for vaping that allows me to manage my addiction. I'm currently at a 12 hoping to move to 9, 6, 3, 0 respectively.

I ordered a Vape kit from the online store i was buying my R Y O tobacco from and have not even had the desire for a regular cigg since. Same thing, menthol tobacco flavor to candy and fruit flavors. I find I just seem to be using it less and less, the juice seems to last a bit longer each bottle on it's own. Of course the local legislators here are wringing their hand and are going to screw it up for everybody soon, somehow. For me it's a miracle. Too bad my Dad isn't still around, he would have liked it too.

but I went cold turkey last June. I tried the e-cigs a few years ago and they didn't work for me. I'm glad they work for you. They worked for my daughter, too.

Good going! Keep up the good work.

there are a few times I wish I had a regular cig but those times are fleeting and I just pull out the 36 menthol then I get back on track.


Even through the death of my mother I was strong enough not to smoke!

I never thought I would go through a full year but now I feel that next year this time I won't be smoking or vaping.

I have a Provari Mini 2.5 with a IBTanked carto-tank. I'm gonna move to a Kayfun soon...I hear the taste is awesome in those things.

My current favorite juices are Castle Long by Five Pawns & Moon Sugar by Mr. Good Vapes...both pricey, but cheaper than smokes by far.

Good move on switching!!!

BTW, went from 24mg to 3mg in a year and a half.

BTW, if you take a welding torch to a vape it will emit cancerous vapors.

Most carded -have to be 18- most passed. the one we go to didn't card so now they get a ding on their business because they didn't card. WE like them, they know who we are and know what we like when they mix.
