Lurked on the vaping chat thread for a while and posted when I finally decided to attempt to give up the cigarettes......well I have managed 1 week with no real problem.
Love vaping and with in 48 hrs had no cravings at all.
I am using 18 mg menthol at the minute but will gradually cut down the nicotine level.
I was a smoker of 30 years + and I can't quite believe I have stopped.
Onwards and upwards Grin

Thanks Maggie it is indeed a wonderful feeling, taking it a day at a time though. I don't want to set myself up to fail. I will wait a little while yet before I call myself an ex smoker!

Well done!!
I'm on my second attempt. Managed all day on Sunday, then someone crashed into my car on Monday so promptly bought ciggies! But back on vaping today, got a lovely coconut caramel and hazelnut honey liquid and its yummy!
Are you going to try other flavours or stick with menthol?
i ordered a few samples from Rainbow smoke, they are only 60p for 1ml, but i think thats enough to get a taste for it!

Oh Indeed that's awful I hope everyone is okay and you weren't hurt.
I will eventually try other flavours but loving the menthol at the minute. I am tempted by pistachio flavour because that's my favourite icecream :)

That's brilliant! Sounds like you'll do fine, I've never wanted a cig since starting vaping, and am on week 12 after thirty years of 20 a day. I'm on 18mgs still, don't plan on dropping anytime soon, going to do it really slowly. H sometimes need a boost if we are having a drink for instance, so have a bottle of vanilla 24mgs which I add to give it a nicotine hit just a bit stronger.

Well done! It's a fabulous feeling being smoke free. I'm almost at the 7 month mark now. I still can't quite believe I'm an ex smoker.

Fantastic Billoddie, well done! Flowers I was a bit disappointed with pistachio but it's quite nice mixed with espresso.
