I smoked 2 packs a day for 28 years. I started smoking at the age of 13. I started using an ego-style PV in march. I smoked about one cigarette a day for the first month, but have not smoked since mid-april, it is now july. I used 24mg nicotine e-liquid in a clearomizer. I am currently down to 12mg nicotine liquid, and plan to continue tapering the nicotine content over time. I had previously tried: cold turkey (twice), the patch, nicotine gum, tapering off, chantix, wellbutrin, and hypnosis. None of these other methods worked, in fact until the last few months I had not gone a full day without smoking. I run, rock climb, and have noticed a drastic increase in my stamina since quitting. I no longer have a smoker’s cough, and my sense of taste and smell have improved. My teeth are also a bit nicer.
