Vaping as an ex-smoker

What were you first experiences when starting vaping as an ex-smoker? Did you adjust to vaping fast? Did it take you a lot of time? Did you find vaping to be totally different from smoking?

 

I adapted immediately. No issues at all. Didn't crave tobacco whatsoever - nicotine is nicotine, and the taste was preferable, so I don't understand why people still want to smoke cigarettes after switching.

 

Really easy as well. Loved the nicotine in the tanks and I was vaping happily as I knew that it would be a lot safer than smoking due to all the risks and diseases that smoking contains and can lead to.

 

I did not adapt to it that fast, and I kind of went on a bit of a roller coaster ride when it came to my feelings about it and my use. It all ended up good though, so that is all that matters I guess. I am glad for everyone that has made that switch to and went to more healthier choice, that is certainly good for everyone. It just takes some time, like most things.

 

It's definitely easier to adjust to vaping than to quit smoking. It took me about 3-4 days to fully adjust to it, after that the only thing I missed was the smell of my matches being lighten (I always lighted by cigarettes with matches sticks). However, if you find the right device, you'll almost feel no difference, just pay a lot of time when choosing the device and the resistance.

 

i have found the same thing but I still do have the odd cigarette, but by no means as often as I did when I started. I plan on stopping smoking completely very soon.

 

It took my sister awhile to adjust to it. She wasn't use to having something pulled into her lungs that way, and it actually made her sick for awhile.

 

As far as I'm concerned, I've become an ex-smoker almost right after I gave vaping a try. It was super cool, so I completely forgot about the first thing. And damn, I'm so glad things happened this particular way.

 

I used to smoke a lot. Once, my friend told me about vaping. I gave it a try and when I started vaping, the beautiful sensation was as strong as smoking. So, I thought that the effect of vaping in our was same as that of smoking. I did a lot of research and found that vaping is actually safer than smoking. I was impressed by this fact and after that I left cigar.

 

It was a very smooth transition. I would say it took me a few weeks to get used to it, but after that, it was the easiest, most comfortable approach to getting off the sticks I can think of

 

Just take it step by step, I guess that for some a gradual change may work as well, just try to exchange one cigarette for the e-cigarette every day, if you started with 10 cigarettes in the first day, second day smoke 9 and when it is time for the 10th just vape.

 

I haven't done that, I reduced quit a bit when I started but will have a cigarette only when I'm with friends. I don't smoke everyday so it is a plus, all I have to do is stop smoking when I'm with friends.

 

Then just do it, replace it with vaping, it'll be hard today and it'll still be hard after a month or year, so you could as well do it today. Decide you're never going to put your mouth on a cigarette again. It's easy as that, all you have to do is decide as then stick to that decision you've made.

 

I was able to quit smoking almost immediately after switching over. Perhaps I'm just fortunate, or maybe I just wasn't smoking for the same reasons that other people do it.

 

Your right people to often put things of because of a little initial discomfort but end up gaining in the long run. I think if you keep your eye on the final result it will be much easier.

 

Yes, keeping your eyes on the prize, that's pretty much how is done, a temporal discomfort for a continuous comfort somewhere in the future, that's the definition of a temporal sacrifice which is what a smoker does. However, sadly, nowadays they don't see it that way and most of them just say "nah, enjoy life, it's short" without realizing they would enjoy it more without them cigarettes.

 

Cool to see that most people here did not really have any issues switching over to vaping. Maybe in the future, many more people will give vaping a shot and give up smoking.

 

I have heard this comment many times before but I would prefer to enjoy a long life instead of a short one because you want to smoke. It doesn't make sense when you have vaping that won't be as bad for you and does the same thing.

 

I adjusted pretty quickly to vaping. I really didn't miss the cigarettes, especially the cigarette odors and bad taste in my mouth. As long as I got the nicotine, I was alright.

 

To add to all of this, I have never met anyone that has had a significant problem with switching over outside of the first couple of weeks. With that said, I have yet to meet someone that had a problem with slowly cutting down smoking and increasing the amount of time that they vape, for whatever that is worth.
