Finally bought a vape

Was fighting a never ending battle of trying to quit, up to 2 packs a cigs a day basically, bought a vape yesterday and I've only had 2 cigs since saturday, and haven't had one since I bought it.
Definitely feels healthier. For anyone who uses one, how long did it take to notice overall improvement, from your chest to taste to just breathing in general. I plan on still quitting everything but this definitely seems like a good choice for now and I won't have to worry about hurting my body while doing it, or atleast not as much.

I have been vaping for 2-3 weeks now and i do feel healthier. I was smoking a pack a day, i still have one here and there but never more than one if i do. I still wake up with shit in my throat in the mornings, which i always hated about smoking. This might just be my lungs healing but im not quite sure. I have noticed an improvement in my sense of taste and smell. So just keep at it man overall it is way healthier than cigs. Im still trying to fight the urge for cigs completely but i still find myself wanting one sometimes.

I started noticing improvements in my respiratory functions within a week of making the switch
It's definitely better for you although someone in the Pub will always have something bad to say about it
The research has been done and while it isn't long-term it is pretty conclusive that vaping is generally magnitudes better for your body than smoking cigarettes
Sure it's probably not entirely safe but I don't really give a shit it tastes awesome if you have quality juice and I just find it to be a fun hobby, but you can taper down your nicotine levels over time and eventually quit if you really wanted to

Yeah I'm not worried about 100% safety or anything, I figure there it's probably always better to smoke nothing then something but at the very least I got rid of almost all/all of the carcinogens, plus I'm not actually burning anything.
Idk the terminology yet but for nicotine levels they told me there was, 0-6-12-18 and I went with the 12 for now and in a week or two I'm going to try and taper down to the 6 and then a few weeks after down to the 0, and then hopefully just finally work on breaking the habit.

I was smoking a pack a day, and quit abruptly with a good ecig. Started to notice real health benefits at about 3weeks, maybe a few days sooner. Good choice, getting on the vape.

The only thing that sketches me about about that research being done... Is there's probably tens of thousands of nicotine juices that are as far as I know, completely unregulated by the FDA or the ATF.
That's scary. The research doesn't even matter at this point. There could be one ejuice brand that's totally safe and another brand that's horrible as fuck for you. Hell even an entire brand might be safe but they might have one flavor that's dangerous who the fuck knows.
But what research actually has been done, if any? The only "research" I've seen is shitty click bait stuff.
That being said vaping is still better than smoking I'm almost a hundred percent positive. But like everyone says inhaling some weird solvents and flavorings probably isn't too good for you.

I was a very light smoker 1-3 a day and even that caused me breathing issues. Since I switched to vape I've felt better and I can breath easier. Took me around a week too.

Sucks so bad, was fine all day but now that I'm home from work I'm desperate for a cig for some reason, gonna hit my bowl soon and hopefully the craving will pass because this is the longest I've been without a cigeratte in a long time but I'm like burning for one right now even when I hit the vape lol. I know it'll be worth it if I just push through it though.

Sounds like your juice doesn't have enough nicotine
What device did you get?

This one, I had to refill the liquid and was confused out of my mind trying to do that, I figured it out but I think I overfilled it because you can here it crackling like it's straight up burning the liquid or something now.

You really got to prime them well before using. Drip e juice into the wick/coil when you get a new one. http://guidetovaping.com/2014/03/21/how-to-break-in-a-new-coil/
Usually if I start to lose flavor I pull the mouth piece out and drip a couple of drops. Try 1/2 drops if you do too much you can get too much liquid.
Just got back from the vape shop.
