I am 42 Days with no analogs so far!
Intro
Day 1-9
Day 9-23
Day 23-42
Along with my 8MG and 11MG juice I ordered a RUYAN E-CIGAR (aka Bling), 25 carts for the e-cigar, 50 carts for my Penstyle 801s (prefilled with 11MG), and 4 more penstyle atomizers. I just want to mention that among the 5 atomizers and passthrus I purchased on day 9 they are all still working as if they are new. I have been rotating them and cleaning via just simply letting them drain for days at a time.
Some brief reviews on products I have tried this far:
E-Juice
Cash True Menthol - This is my favorite flavor, me and my mother both agree, for some reason we absolutely need this to be satisfied, we cant figure out why.....we love the other flavors but when we try to smoke them exclusively we dont get complete satisfaction (and neither us where mentol smokers before)...so what we do is we will put a drop of cash menthol into our other flavors or vice versa so that we are satisfied, anyone else experience this? with other flavors maybe?
Johnson Creek Tenesee Cured - Not sure If we just got a bad batch or something but this tasted horribly salty and disgusting, hard to bare...
Johnson Creek Wild Strawberry - Good Flavor, taste very good but its a bit on the subtle side. Nice strawberry aroma and taste.
Cash Cola - Pretty good slight cola after taste, Throat hit is a bit weak but overall pretty good juice, not something I am going to buy again however.
Cash Pina Coloda - I love this! This taste just like pina coloda's! Absolutely delecious, but again weak throat hit. This is nice to flavor something with a strong throat hit though.
Cash Coffee - Not much flavor at all, never could taste coffee
Cash Risky Yuice - Not to bad, Very weird flavor and odly this causes me to gag sometimes, not going to buy this one again :\
Johnson Creek Artic Mint - Great Menthol flavor but again not doing it for throat hit for me, I mixed it with cash menthol so it last longer.
Johnson Creek Cherry - This is very pleasent cherry flavored liquid, quite bold in flavor but again no throat hit, I love mixing this stuff with the liquids that give a throat hit though, its really good!
Jonson Creek - Chocolate Mint - Great Flavor, Mint with a hint of chocolate, again weak throat hit so I mix it with a few drops of Cash menthol.
Well I am not going to go on and list my opinions on the other johnson creek flavors because they are pretty much the same as the Choclate mint review above, they are great flavors but something about it just doesnt satisfy me.
Intro
My name is Jeremy, I am 26 years old and from Michigan. I have smoked a minimum of a pack a day since the age of twelve, most of my life smoking from 1.5 to 2 packs per day of full flavor (Camels, Marlboro Red "red", Basic "red", Marlboro Mediums, Home Rolled, and even for two years menthol Marlboro Milds), toward the end my habit was beyond ridiculous I had skyrocketed up to 3 packs a day of "buy two get one Camel full flavors" and this was costing me a fortune and of course whenever I stopped to get me three packs each day I would also purchase some additional snacks or drinks which lead this to be a 25$ a day habit! My breathing had become very poor especially since my 30 day battle with pneomia a year prior. I got my first ecig 42 days ago and I quit analogs right away, it wasn’t easy and it is still a challenge to this day but here I am and this is my story and my experiences with various products out there on the "ECIG" market. I also want to mention that my mother is doing this with me, she has smoked for 40 years and has also quit with ECIGs and I am sharing my supplies with her so keep in mind that all this stuff is for 2 people if it sounds like I am going thru a ton of juice or something, heh, she started on day 9.
Day 1-9
My first E-cig, the dse901B mini starter kit which included 3 fully working e-cigs. I don’t think my review of this product is going to be very fair because me being new to ECIGS coupled with the fact that these were my first days off analogs I abused the living crap out of these and did not yet fully understand how to operate and maintain these devices yet.
I was so intent on quitting that even though these products rarely provided me satisfaction I just kept on going. In the first few days a caved and smoked a cigarette once but soon after I made a promise to myself that I would never have another analog again and I gave up all my cigarettes to my roommates.
At day 7 I became convinced that I was not getting the amount of nicotine that I was used to so I ordered some 36MG, some penstyles, along with usb passthrus, and also decided to purchase some Nicotine lozenges to aid me, the thought was that I would pop one when I was getting a bad craving and my ecig wasn’t cutting it. I only had one DSE901B remaining at this point because I abused the living crap out of them and at this point they where all dead mostly due to me flooding them and overheating them constantly. I now realize a major contributing factor to me abusing these devices and what I thought was a feeling of not getting enough nicotine was the fact that the batteries only really worked good for first 15 minutes or so and after that I was barelly getting a hit and this was causing me to do things like overheat my atomizer and overfill/flood it desperately trying to get that NIC hit.
At day 8 my last DSE901B went dead due to me again, not knowing what the hell I am doing, so this was my day I bared through on only lozenges, It was not so bad because the previous day I had to go 8 hours stranded at work with no battery. At the end of this day I found my order of Penstyles, 36MG juice, and passthrus waiting for me.....
Day 9-23
My usb passtru and penstyle are heaven to me, I remember on this day I said 'I feel like i am smoking again' I felt great all day and the next week went pretty smooth, I gave my lozenges away and stopped using them because I was actually getting full satisfaction from my new ecig, each day seemed to be getting easier and easier, I stopped becoming so preoccupied with my quitting smoking and got back to doing the normal stuff I enjoy doing. The usb passthru solved my issues only enjoying the first hits from a fresh battery and the penstyle produced much more vapor. After this week was over I went ahead and placed a big order, I wasn’t going to get stuck in the dark again with no ECIG, I ordered 5 passthrus and 5 more atomizers for my penstyle and a bunch more ecig juice including Cash Menthol which would soon become my staple, nothing has compared to this flavor for me it seemed to provide the most satisfaction and authentic feel to actually smoking. I was breathing so much better and full of energy now, I didnt smell bad and my house is so much cleaner.
It was not until around day 23 that I realized I was getting much more nicotine then I did when I was actually smoking, I had become more of a nicotine addict then before, I could not even go 5 minutes without pulling my ecig out of my pocket and sneaking a quick vape, which btw I could do anywhere at anytime because nobody even says anything if you cover the light and hold it no vapor will even exhale. At this point I decided that I was done with the 36MG and I would be stepping down ASAP, so I ordered some 24MG liquid and also some 16MG Liquid
Day 23-42
Well I was really worried that it was going to be hard to step down my nicotine levels but it was really easy. Especially the way I paced it, I am finishing off my 16MG Liquid now and I got 60ML of 11MG and 60ML of 8MG on the way (8MG is Totally Wicked Menthol, 11 is RY4 from ruyan direct). I was very surprised I cant even really tell the difference when vaping one vs the other. The major difference I have noticed is I have already become much less dependant on nicotine. I can go 4-5 hours without really wanting any fairly easily now and the cravings are far less amplified and easy to put off, I feel like I would be fine going all day without any as long as it was a busy day. I’m anxious to get down to 0 but I think its best for me to do it this way as it will be much easier.
Along with my 8MG and 11MG juice I ordered a RUYAN E-CIGAR (aka Bling), 25 carts for the e-cigar, 50 carts for my Penstyle 801s (prefilled with 11MG), and 4 more penstyle atomizers.

I'm a little nervous (after all, I've never just straight up inhaled PG before), but I can definitely concede that I actually enjoy the act of smoking...just not all the other stuff that goes along with it. I suppose it's a psychological addiction more than anything - the ritual as opposed to the physical addiction. Given that, I would say that as long as the cat piss flavored carts stay out of my order, I think I'll be just fine.
