HALLELUJAH...my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Blessings to ALL of YOU!!!

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY...I QUIT SMOKING FOREVER!!!

YAY!!!


Although I first attempted vaping December 19, 2009, I was unable to truly make the switch until I ordered better hardware (Ego-T - Type A and B attys) and stronger eliquid (from 18mg to 24mg). That combo arrived in my mailbox ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, and I've been a VAPER ever since!

It took me almost TWO YEARS to find the right combo, but once I found it, I KNEW I could 'do it'!

There WERE some struggles with 'the cravings' about 6 weeks in, but a few weeks of WTA eLiquid from Vapelicious.com got me through that period.

Amazingly, after three months of vaping like a machine, my body seemed to request a lower nic level...so I lowered to 18mg, then 12mg...and now I'm usually at 6mg or a wee bit higher. I've tried 0mg, but 'the blues' creep back in, so I'll keep just enough nic in my eLiquid to keep me feeling balanced WITH A HAPPY FLAVOR...and WITH CLOUDS BILLOWING AROUND MY HEAD!

I never thought I could quit the analogs...but I DID IT, and I'm SO HAPPY, because I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!! Not only do I SMELL better to others, but I smell things I never noticed before. It's a NEW world, and I am rejoicing 'in it'!

The 'trick' was finding the hardware and nicquid flavors I PREFERRED over analogs.

HARDWARE:
Ego batts
Ego twists
Lavatube VV
fluxomizers
Stardusts
Vivi Nova tanks

Favorite eLIQUIDs:
BWB Casablanca
BWB Smoke
BWB Cola
Vaperite Rootbeer
Madvapes Black Licorice
KBV Crisp Cola

Special THANKS to the WTA vendors (Vapelicious and Aromaejuice) for providing that little 'extra
kick' when I needed it!



I THANK my peers here in ECF (as well as in other forums) for supporting me when I needed it most, for guiding me, and for believing in me when I did not believe in myself.

What a GREAT group of folks YOU are...ANGELS EVERY ONE!

I am extremely grateful for ALL of you! With YOUR help, I DID IT!!

HALLELUJAH!!!

(Turning the page and heading toward my 2ND Anniversary, same time next year! Life's Good! )

Congrats Mike. I just had my 1 year anniversary almost a month ago. It's a great feeling saying that your now a non-smoker, isn't it! For everyone quitting, you gotta know it isn't always easy, but it's worth the effort. The right equipment & juice is the key. Once you find that, it goes easier. I know, I'll NEVER go back.

There are great people on this site & I thank everyone of them for freeing me of a 45 year habit.
