Well let me start off by how my life has changed in just a little more than a week....
I was a pack a day smoker. With a beer or 12...two packs. I had a constant morning cough and when I lay down at night I would cough as well. I have tried Champix tablets 2 years ago. After a week I had vivid nightmares...the type of nightmares horror movies are made of. I would sit in a conversation with other people and would laugh with them and then cry. That stuff F@#$ed me up big time. The minister of finance (my wife) said I must rather start smoking again because she could see I the medication was making me depressed and because of my emotions I could not control. All this happened in a 2 week time frame.
6 Months ago I went for my annual checkup (discovery medical aid) and when they did the lung test(blow test) I failed horribly. The nurse suggested I use nicotine patches. Here we go again... After 5 days I was smoking less and after 2 weeks back on the pack a day.
I read an article on www.watkykjy.co.za (humor website) regarding one of the website members going the vape route and he stopped puffing smokes in Nov of 2016.
I took the step and walked into Vapeking Northcliff. Bought a ego AIO. Not a bad at all... The battery lasts a good 7am-5pm (I can vape in my office) but I felt that I should've gone bigger but not to big as I don't want to look like I'm holding a walkie talkie (no offence). Went on Thursday and bought a Smok V8 Stick. Holy moly...what a cloud machine. My advice to new beginners are to get a small backup like the ego AIO or something similar and then something bigger. Whatever your taste or mod are. Read up a lot... especially on this forum as I have yet to chat to someone on here that is not helpful. My Smok I charge at night from 10-11pm till 6:30am and use it from 7am- 10pm without a charge which is awesome.
I don't have the cigarette craving anymore. I crave a smoke and then vape then the craving is gone. I am using a mixture of 3-6mg nicotine and I can feel after little over a week I can breath again. Even my taste is better.My kids don't say I stink and my cough is gone.The only regret I have is that I did not start sooner.
Hope this helps any new guys that join the forum.
