It's been 24 hours since I've had a cigarette. I went to the vapor shop yesterday and bought a decent e-cig. I'm filling the tank with 12mg nicotine juice right now and hopefully I can work my way down.


Keep at it brother. I bought a vape and quit smoking and dipping. Started with 18 mg and i'm now using 12. Just remember. You didn't start smoking in a day and it's likely you won't quit that way either. I would still have a smoke every once and a while when I started vaping but after a while you lose interest in cigaretts. They taste nasty and you would rather hit the vape. Just step down the nic and don't rush it.

Now quitting dip on the other hand. What a relentless whore of an addiction. Lord have mercy it gnaws at you to throw in a fatty. It's day 17 without a dip and yesterday was the first day I didn't think about it until I sat down on the couch in the evening. I lived with a dip in so it was a constant gnawing habit to kick. My damn tongue is raw from eating sunflower seeds. I'm gone through 2.5 pounds of the suckers and the salt has me holding so much water I feel pregnant. Lol.

I haven't had a dip either since I started vaping. I was putting pouches in at work then a big fat dip of cope wintergreen when I got home. It's going to be tough not dipping in the treestand this year. I've been eating sunflower seeds also. Have you tried David's chili lime seeds? Those fuggars are good.

As far as the vape, I'm on 12mg of nicotine. I was told to stay with 12mg for a month by a dude at work that has been vaping for a while. After a month I'll try stepping down to 6mg. I must say, I really like this vape. I got some blueberry blast with a few drops of strawberry banana in the tank now. Yesterday I had some tobacco tasting juice in it, I liked that but I had to try some fruity stuff today.

Yesterday marked 4 months since I have had a chew. Cope Wintergreen was my brand. Im also on the sunflower seed kick right now. BBQ. I go through about a bag every 4-5 days. Congrats on quitting tho. I still think I could throw one in at any time.

Hell ya, keep at it! I have some bbq seeds as well, but you gotta try those chili lime seeds. David's makes them, their my new favorite.

Had three bigazz bears within 20 yards sitting on the ground this morning over a 2 hour span. That got the blood flowing... Especially the one that came running right at me until I yelled at him lol... Not hunting that spot again

Good for you Chad! I also started vaping and quit the smokes. It will be 3 years December 26 since I have had a smoke.

Vaping wasn't around when I quit smoking 9 years ago. I tried the patch, pill and anything else you can think of. I finally realized I had to really want to quit. When I made that decision quitting became doable. It wasnt easy but I did kick the habit. Nicotine is a bitch. Good job boys fighting it and keep it up.

Good work fellas! I was one year smoke free (minus TOO functions) on August 29. I didn't pick up the vape cause I didn't need another addiction. I still chew, but one thing at a time. I quit two types of smoke at once, so I did good... ;)

I've been on the no smoking kick myself, cold turkey kind though. It seems to only bug me when on road trips and after a few beers. I can hold off when driving and a few beers, but if I get a nice buzz going I give in and usually light one up(usually once a week). My chest hates me the next day and I quickly realize it was a mistake. I think it's been almost 2 weeks now since my last one, the cravings get farther and farther apart. Kinda like Joe said, it took a while to get hooked so I don't let it ruin my day. If I really want one, I have one.

So, I'm down here visiting my oldest daughter in Pensacola and we ended up at The Egg and I for lunch. We got about half way thru our meal and in walks a couple guys dressed in military dress. Went to the register after finishing and asked the kid at the register to get me their bill as well. He shook my hand and said Thank You followed by, you don't see this happen very often and proceeded to get the bill. I gladly paid it as he and their waitress thanked me again. Made my day to pay for their meal.

Well Played Adam! Good Karman coming your way for sure. 2 men in military dress came into a restaurant/bar one night (after a funeral) and 2 of us bought them a round.....we started something and they paid for nothing all night. One lady even took care of the waitress. Awesome feeling.....Good Job Adam!

I've taken care of a couple waitresses in my day. Oh wait. You mean tipping.
