Title: I Quit Smoking.
Post by: atomant on April 20, 2014, 04:35:07 AM
Technology has helped me to quit smoking, I'm into my 127th hour without a smoke. I've tried everything in the past and finally started using this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBUltu96Ksw

I opted for a PRO TANK which is glass instead of plastic and am using the Kanger Tech 2.2 coil instead of the standard units 2.0

I'm currently using a 24 mil strength nicotine juice but do plan on reducing to 18, then onto 12 and lower yet to 6.

I figure maybe 6 months I will be completely free from the evil weed. As far as cost goes, I paid $150.00 which got me the MVP unit w/ 2 tanks (this is so I can have 24 mil strength in one tank for the early part of the day, and then swap it out for a lighter 18 mil strength)

6 coils, (Kanger 2.2) and two 30 Mil bottles of 24 strength nicotine juice (which is enough to last me 6 weeks) and the shipping was free.

There are many flavours of juice and a chit load of companies selling it, I myself found a vendor within 200 km of me and the selection is broad.

I'm really impressed with the battery life, my first charge took 30 minutes and lasted over 72 hours. Cleaning of the coil and tank is also very simple, haven't gotten to that point yet as the coil only needs a light rinsing once a week.

I've not been asked to put it away in any bar/restaurant but have been approached by curious people who are looking for  a way to quit.

If I as a 3 pack a day smoker can kick the cigs (with no affects, I'm not moody or losing sleep or eating  to excess) I would venture to say anyone could become smoke free.

Thanks Technology for giving me the chance to see my Granddaughter grow up and I've become a little faster on LFS because I'm not messing around trying to light a smoke while driving, can't tell you how many times I've went off the road doing that.

One last tid bit, I had more than a few beers watching the hockey game and never once missed reaching for a butt.

Almost a week and the first big change I've noticed, not coughing my lungs out in the morning. I generally would cough so hard after the first smoke in the morning I'd see stars. I promised the guys on ts I would shut up about this at day 10, I'll report back on day 100 with some cost savings and health improvements, thx for the kind words of encouragement.

 Think I'll tune up the bicycle and see if I can go 3 blocks without fainting.

Congrats on your decision to putting the butts down  ,  10yrs here and no regrets  
May i make an suggestion , with anything we do {we have done for yrs} gradually working the amount of smoking down to 0 = better days ahead for your tastebuds , you will be able to smell lots of things again  = Good & Bad  
takecare  Ant
