Thanks! I cleaned my first cartos today since my new batch of goodies is coming in tomorrow. It was easier than I thought, and my system worked well. I did a huge amount of research on the ask the "old guys" forum...whatever the name of it is....and I blew them out with an air compressor. Dry as a bone and ready for the mailman! What frustrations have you run into in three months? Just wanting to prepare!!! LOL
Boy, that's a can of worms.
Batteries that needed constant charging.
Juice that tasted great yesterday tastes like my son's socks today.
Leaking juice.
Flooding atomizers.
Burning Cartridges/cartomizers.
Too much VG, not enough VG.
Popped attys.
Juices that taste like perfume.
Trying to wade through the overwhelming amount of info here.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera (Said in my best Yul Brynner voice)
Now, for what makes it ALL worth it:
I feel 100% better.
No more waking up at night coughing.
I can walk the mile downhill to my mailbox and then back UPhill without gasping for air.
I smell good, just ask my husband and kids.
No more ashtray mouth.
No more ashtrays!
My teeth are whiter.
I've lost weight.
It's fun!
Again with the et ceteras.
It's one heck of a ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
LOLOL! I've got the battery thing covered. I have 5 and one of those things that plugs into the computer! We'll see tomorrow when I fill how many problems I have there! LOL. Otherwise, it's been easy so far for me. I'll keep your name so that when I do all that other stuff, I know who to ask for help from!!! LOL. Thanks for your advice and the great pro list as well. My hubby, who is not at all supportive of this adventure, prefers to make fun of me rather than notice how good I smell! However, I notice!!!!
Do post when you have issues. I'm constantly amazed at how many old pros are willing to jump in with a helping hand when it's needed. It's unlike any other forum I've ever been on.
Tell your husband he can stuff a sock in it. I'll even send you one of my son's socks to use!

Thanks so much guys, I sure appreciate the support. It hasn't been all that painful with the E cig, though I still miss the flavor of my Am. Spirits I can't believe how much better my mouth feels! Thanks again, this support forum is awesome!

Thank you! Congrats on your 15 days, that is super awesome! I am just up the "hill" from you, neighbor
Starry, my mom passed October 5th from lung cancer. I didn't stop smoking either. I think, looking back, I felt I needed them more than ever. I didn't want to be preached at for the 1000th time. I've been off analogs since last Saturday. It's been easier than I thought, with the e-cig, but I am having to re-learn how to live my life without analogs. I incorporated them into everything and extremely stubborn when people would talk to me about quitting. I would brissle, fangs showed, and claws came out. It was the one thing that was MINE.....so was the coughing, spewing, etc. I'm on disability from fibromyalgia and interstitital cystitis. Coughing and these two autoimmune ailments DON'T go together. I live in pain everyday to some degree, and just felt that they were my pacifier. I have only had one really bad craving and that was yesterday. I got through it and was proud of myself for not giving in. Today is another day, and I face it as such. The e-cig is BY FAR better than cold turkey. I knew cold turkey wasn't for me and I'd fold. This is the best way for me. I am thankful for it. Just take it minutes at a time, if you have to. Whatever works! BTW, welcome!
I am so so sorry about your mom
It is SO difficult and takes a long time to recover from. My father passed away over 15 years ago and that about killed me as well, we have always been a super close family and life is lonely now, I thank God for my little girl every day, she means everything to me and she is the main reason I am quitting. I totally understand about how irritating it is for people to keep on you to quit. My sister is a surgeon and she just couldn't believe I was still smoking after mom passed, I don't think she understood my mental state and depression and how I just needed to smoke for "support", even though I know it was bad and not really support, it felt like something that was MINE and that comforted me. I didn't have any friends or family to comfort me, not even my hubby or sis as hubby just got upset with me when I got so sad and sis wouldn't even talk about it, just avoided the subject altogether. It has taken me this long to be strong enough to put them down. I also understand about learning to relive your life. Like driving, the first thing I want to do is light up, after I eat, if I drink, when I go sit outside, so many triggers! Now I just use my E Cig at those times and so far so good, It's really not all that bad.
I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through, both mentally and physically, life can be so tough! Congrats on your decision to quit and sticking to it, I am here if you ever want to talk, maybe we can sponsor each other
Way to go Starry....everyday it gets a little easier. I still find lighters in my pockets all the time, but I never remember picking them up. Just make sure to stock up on carts or juice so you don't get caught short.
