THE Quit Smoking Thread

[KAS1]

I tried patches once but I couldn't keep them a light, no seriously when I tried patches they used to fall off me in the night and they stuck on the wife and she lost her craving for the smokes and gave up

 

[i=p/u]

Be good aye to give up, me only bad habit left. I'm working on it.... I find when smoke smuggled tobacco you don't smoke as much.. But always go back to smokes before tobacco finished

 

[tomplumbuk]

I gave up smoking at christmas, only problem is I'm now addicted to ecigs and cos I'm allowed to smoke them indoors I have probably quadrupled my nicoteine intake since...

 

[T0ny]

Hmmmmm Vamo now that's a great ecig

 

[tomplumbuk]

Not tried Vamo but just looked at the pics it looks like something the terminator would smoke! Are they any good? I currently use use the ones from 10motives dot com

 

[T0ny]

They are nothing short of awesome. I got the full kit for around £50 with some more juice and other extras. I'd not use anything else now. I'm blown away. No more doggy cartomisers, that fry the battery. In fact I don't use them now and use a wick, its far better. What I like about it is you can adjust everything electrical to alter your taste and your throat hit. Its not the best thing to take out lol as you'll get some mad looks, but I just have one 510 ecig for that.

 

[tomplumbuk]

Cheers for the info Tony - think I'll get myself one of them!

 

[T0ny]

I got it from vaper train, they got a website its a very good price for the kits. As for juice I like the Tobacco Reds USA - Jac Vapour sell that, its about all they sell worth having The vamo is a great bit of kit especially if you use wicks to vape with it ie no more cartomisers

[tomplumbuk]

looks good - and probably save me even money long term over the 10motives cartomisers I use - seem to be getting through them at a pretty fast rate...!

 

[T0ny]

Yip I'm only using up the carts I got doing it direct is a lot cheaper and less hassle. Be sure to buy yourself a bottle with a needle for filling. They are only 90p and makes the job so fast and easy

 

[LowPower]

Chap in my office has just gone over to an ecig and loves it. I told him not to 'smoke' it at his desk, so he spends even longer outside now!

 

[amlu]

third day cold turkey and counting....

 

[tomplumbuk]

I ended up going with the tornado from totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk - really impressed with it and much better than the 10motives ones

 

[Silly Sausage]

I've been trying one of those electrical smokes for a day now.
They're alright but, it's a bit like having a ---- when you really want a shag.

 

[somersetsparks]

I finds they make me cough more then the real deal and you don't know when to stop, The '40 smoke' cartridge last me about 10 lol There a good idea mind, if they keep getting popular then they will hopefully develop them more and more. At the moment they got nothing on cowboy killers though! I swear philip morris puts something more addictive then nicotine in Marlboros!

 

[Silly Sausage]

As a 40 day merchant for the last 35 years, I reckon I've cut down about 40%,without being stressed out!

 

[noobienoclue]

hi guys, I would like to quit, a good friend of mine quit, not smoked for 5 months now only problem is he has piled on the weight like a lot of people who stop

 

[balbecdaze]

Just like to weigh in with another shout for ecigs/vaping. I bought one about 3 weeks ago, wasn't even considering giving up smoking, just thought I'd give them a try.

Bought one of those that is about the same shape as a cigarette first, then bought another battery for it.

Soon realised that they don't really cut it so got a Kanger protank and an ego twist.

I had one cigarette today because all my batteries were flat or charging. I had one cigarette three days ago for the same reason.

I reckon I'm probably consuming more nicotine, but that's fine, it's a pretty cool drug after all, that's why cigarette addiction is so insidious. I don't want to smoke a "stinky", I'd rather use my cool looking gadget.

I've also got arriving via ebay a selection of flavourings and glycerol so I can make my own eliquid.

So, get into the vapes, its more like smoking than smoking!

 

[balbecdaze]

p.s. oh yeah, 3 weeks ago I was smoking approx. 1x12.5g packet of Cutters Choice per day.

 

[Silly Sausage]

The E smokes are pretty good.
I'm (was) a 40 a day man, but since having the ecig, reduced my weekly consumption a good 30-40% without getting stressed out about it.


Just noticed my post above... Still working!
Time to go for less than 20 a day...:39:

 

[Steve_P]

Had my last smoke in Feb (about 30 a day for years before then), been on vapourlites e things since and am now down to 0 Mg nicotine so just gotta break the habit rather than the addiction now. Probably put on 2.5 stone in weight though but I can shift that after the glow in the dark fake smokes have gone.

 

[KAS1]

I like the e-cig thingies, 10 months without a real smoke ............my all time record...........That reminds me must get the old electronic smoke PAT tested soon it's nearly a year old lol

 

[Silly Sausage]

I've just gone past the 20 day mark without a real cig., my all time record in 40 years by 20 days.
I'm permanently attached to my e-cig though! Going through about 15ml of juice/week.

@40/day, that's 800 smokes I haven't smoked...

 

[KAS1]

Do you use the re-fillable type?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Yes.

Started back in April on the ciggie looking ones, only managed to cut down about a third.
A few weeks back, after some geezer let me have a toke on his refillable, decided to get one, haven't had a smoke since I got it.

 

[KAS1]

I'm very tempted at giving them a bash, but there seems to be so many to choose from, sizes, colours, shapes, it used to be tipped or rolls ups, now so many choices lol

 

[Silly Sausage]

I got this...
Photon Express Tank Kit

I'm reckoning it'll cost me about £7 or £8 a week running costs.
Loads of extra cash for beer now!

 

[KAS1]

That looks the business, not bad for £25, did you have to order the liquid separate?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Juice separate, yes.
I didn't get the next kit up because I already had the mains charger from the previous jobbies.

So, with juice, £40 delivered and they give you a time it's coming.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Q for you ex smokers, did you go through a phase where your lungs clear themselves out, coughing up goodness knows what?
I've heard it happens around 6 weeks, or is it just an Urban myth?
I'm getting slightly chesty/gurglely at the moment after 3 weeks, nowt of any significance though.

 

[Silly Sausage]

50 days without a single drag on a smoke now.
Can't stop thinking about them though!
90 mils of E-juice vapourised.

I think I'm getting fatter as well, what with the extra ale consumption.
Going to have to start increasing the exercise.

 

[kingeri]

I also use one of those Archy, along with the wife. Been on them for about 8 weeks now, saved a fortune between us already. Makes me wonder now how we afforded cigs (or what else we were sacrificing so we could have them). I do yearn for a smoke sometimes, but this tends to be worse when I'm drinking. Unlike you, my alcohol consumption has gone down due to this. I'm actually feeling loads better in myself, and less tired. The next stage will be to give up the e-cig, but I'm not in a rush to do that.

 

[balbecdaze]

Well done to all the people and who have managed to give up. I'm one who has replaced the cigarette with an ecig, my main one at the mo is this. 2600mAh battery, you can use it while its charging and it'll even recharge your phone for you. Plus you can alter the volts or watts it kicks out, oh yeah and measure the resistance of your atomiser if you build your own coils. Saves getting the Megger out!
Unfortunately Brussels want to ban them as part of the Tobacco Products directive, they say that they might act as a "gateway to tobacco" for children. If you're interested, there's a website here that explains this and a forum here that explains everything about the wonderful world of ecigs.
I haven't had a smoke since my last post here, I'm now vaping Vanilla Custard and Snake Oil!
