Well, i want to say for my wife and kids, i want to say for my health, but that would be a lie. I started trying to quit right before my first son was born, and i failed.. then when he was a year old, i picked up my first njoy pos starter kit for money reasons.. I was smoking at least 2 packs, usally 3 a day, and being out of work that was costing me too much, and knew i had to cut down some how.. And i wanted to screw the state out of my taxes on cigs, there high here, second motivator.. The third thing that got me was modding, if i did not mod i probally would not have had the intestonal fortitude to carry on threw the hard times over the last 15 and a half months of vaping...

but htat is just me..

I quit because the last 5 or more years of smoking I coughed as hell. Also I felt that my heart really damaged with smoke. Etc. Now almost 2 years of vaping over. No cough at all, no smell from my clothes and no smell and ash everywhere in my car.
But my heart still is not in a good condition

yea..nobody wants to keep on smoking but for whatever reasons we will find excuses to keep doing it...too much stress or problems.Ill put it off to later...hey I quit every night when I go to bed...endless supply..quitting sucks..worse then smoking does...
when I finally tried one of the RB4081's I knew right away I could live with this...nasty tasting, smoke just like an analog...yup thats about right..worked right from day one
I really loved the tax avoidance also...hated the nanny state getting anymore of my money..

raymondroot

thanks all
so far this is turning out to be exactly what i was hoping for
others can come here and see what motavapes others and that this really works
you are all like me in the respect that it is more than the nicotine that people are addicted to like the mechanical addiction or having something in your hand among others
motavapes i love that word i think i will start my own biz and call it that

Felt like someone was stabbing me in the chest. couldn't sleep over 3-4 hours and always woke up coughing. smoking 2 packs a day- for at least 27 years. I tried quitting every other way, with each child, job change, new car, etc... this is the only thing that seems to make it easier. I even messed up by having one this week. then two- then I remembered why I can't quit- I still love to smoke. I know my nic wasn't strong enough (cut it to 24-26) so I bumped it back up to 30 and I'm here for therapy.

Welcome to the asylum! Grab a straight jacket and pick a corner!
If this is your last shot like me, let's make it the best experience for others.

raymondroot

Thank you
now lets see if we can get others to jump in as well id also like to see some links for cheap jump-starts things to get people started or at-least sustained for less money
get them through the door to heather living and then help them stick too it
i have decided to dedicate myself to helping others rid themselves of the ashtray it has become my passion so to speak
again thank you

I learned about vaping when the company I work for decided to allow us to vape at work. Our HR director had been asked by another employee about vaping, so she researched it, talked to corporate about allowing it onsite in offices and breakrooms, but not in production areas for obvious reasons.

Since I work in an enclosed building as a Control Room operator, I’m allowed to vape at my workstation for my entire 12hr. shifts. The company actually encourages vaping over smoking, although as of now I think I’m the only vaper at this particular plant site. It hasn’t caught on as fast as I thought it would with all the smokers we have here. But as long as I can vape at work, I’m one happy guy.

for the kids and also because I was sick of smelling like smoke! I have been analog free now for over a year and a half.........I tried everything before vaping-cold turkey, patch, medication (which I don't recommend) and accupuncture(which stressed me out so much- I smoked a pack after having it done!)

Sorry for your loss...and I agree God does want the prettiest flowers...

I was getting chest pains and gurgling in my chest at night. Since I have switched to vaping almost exclusively, both have gone away. And, because I am a "public servant" and have to go into people's houses and businesses, I no longer STINK!

Rose

OMG, Bams! I am sooo very sorry! Bless you and your family! Her name is so pretty..

Rose

I looked at "here is my reason" today. Bless that baby"s heart! I can tell that she is a fighter! Let me know what you need. I am always wanting to help others. Please, know that I am SERIOUS!

ecigconvert

bamsbbq

thanks Rose

on November 2nd,2011, the missus hadnt been feeling well for the previous week so went in earlier than her scheduled appointment... they did tests, an ultra sound and Lily's heart had quit beating...there was nothing they could do.. that night the missus had to go through labor anyways...she was born with a full head of hair(Amanda wanted to see her and said she was so pretty )

they say things happen in threes...this was our 3rd loss so heres hoping the fourth will be good

As for help with any of us, lots of prayers are always needed i did start smoking analogs again the next day... 2 months free and clear now though.

Rose

You have my prayers!

It was nice as a "smoke screen" for farts, but it wasn't worth the coughing I would endure when I got up in the morning

Blahahaha

trippinmyrlinn

hehe you dont know this bunch very well do you.

I selfishly quit for my health. I've never felt better, lost 50 lbs., lost the cough, breathing better, everything tastes better. I'm just enjoying life more without analogs.

Wow. Just breaks my heart. Both of your families are in my prayers. Thanks for sharing your stories.

Raymond, what sort of stuff does Kyra like or need? My prayers go out to her. So sad to see a child have to go through that.

When an x-ray of my stomach caught the lower part of my lungs with a spot on it, the doctor told me I needed to have it checked for lung cancer. It worried me but not enough to quit as I continued smoking even with the worry of lung cancer. I don't think I really cared at that point if I lived, died, or died from cancer. I happened across these devices by accident and decided to give them a try. They worked for awhile but the cravings would still get me. The support I received from here helped me to keep trying and press on. Then someone helped me to see life much different and I wanted to be off cigs for good. With that and the VV devices that can vape at the levels I need, I have managed to stay smoke free since June of last year.
