First post



I stopped smoking on October 17th, 2014. Honestly, I don't even miss it. I wanted to keep somewhat of a journal to keep record of my journey.

In the past I have tried the electronic cigarettes that you can find in most convenience stores. They never seemed to help. Plus, you don't really know whats in them.

Then about a year ago my wife's aunt had bought a Volcano Inferno (she was just as heavy a smoker as I was). She had told us that it was great and that once she started using it she didn't want to smoke cigarettes anymore. So, after some thought and saving money we put down the cash for one. While Volcano is a bit spendy, it was a pretty big gamble as to whether or not it would help me quit smoking cigarettes.

While waiting for my Inferno to show up (I will say that Volcano's shipping is really fast), my wife picked up a Haus by mistic personal vaporizer from 7-11. It worked well for the few days until I got my Inferno (more on that in a later post).

The first few days were not without at least a little trouble. Day 2, I did want a cigarette, but I stuck with it. I think that you still have to have to want to quit (whether it's with an ecig or just want to not smoke at all). I do have to say that vaping did help with the mood swings that accompany quitting, at least for me.


There is no real guarantee that vaping will help you quit smoking cigarettes, but there is a pretty good chance, if you stick with it, that you can.

  1. Smoking cigarettes is a very hard habit to break, and a lot of people encounter health problems because of it. It is good that vaping has helped you get over this bad habit. Thanks for sharing this with us, Wade. All the best!

  2. It's true that if you really want to quit something, you should really take the extra effort to make it happen. In your case, I'm so glad that you overcame quitting tobacco with the help of e-cigarettes. It may not be effective to all, but at least it is to majority who tries. Thanks for sharing that, Wade! Kudos and all the best to you!

  3. E-cigarettes allow not just combat a bad, harmful habit of traditional tobacco smoking, eliquids not only give a good way to minimize (or at least to control effectively) addictive substance consumption (it can be not only tobacco, but any other legal psychoactive agent, btw). Box mods and dry herb vaporizers http://gypsyvapes.com/herbal-smoke-herb-vaporizer are a real deal to try some completely new experience out of the old habit.
