Just started four weeks ago, before i smoked a pack per day. Now 'only' 1-4 cigs.
Anyone else here?

not me but my colleague does. he just came inhere with a new device. more pocket size than the raspberry pi like one he had before.

it's apparently an apire breeze which looks like a fat usb stick that can be placed in a usb docking for charging.

I quit smoking when my girlfriend was pregnant (as I promissed her) after +/-15 years of smoking.
Now just over 3 years ago and haven't touched a cigarette since.

Vaping somehow doesn't really appeal to me, although I can understands it could make quitting easier.

Vaping since about two years now. It took me some time to find the proper device producing enough vapor and sending enough nicotine. But, when I found it, I never smoked a cigarette again.
Of course, I don't see it as a victory because I still "smoke" but it wasn't my goal at all. Just the need not to cough or have trouble breathing in the morning

@Lahksman : Good job! I wanted to quit as well, when my girl was pregnant, but i became so nervous (and made her nervous as well with that) that she told me to stop it and try again after birth. But i never did...

@lemonisdead : What device do you have? I have an ego AIO. I'm happy with it, especially for that price. It's a good entrance device, but has some downs. It burns too much coils, tank is too small, battary not changeable. As i am happy that i could drop my cigarette consume so much and so easy, i want to have a more advanced device now. I'm thinking about an istick Pico with a Melo 3 on it. Maybe for christmas... ;)
(this would be a more raspberry pi like divece, like @sorex called it :D)

@An Schi : the "problems" you describe remember me exactly the way I had to walk before finding my device. So, I won't have any advice because we are each different with different needs. And I am a girl who doesn't look for advanced devices (for me the most important is to always be provided the same "taste" and level of nicotine, each time I am vaping. So I don't want to have devices where I have different settings and have to experiment them because I won't be sure of the experience I was gotten).
My current device is an Atopack Penguin V2 (it follows the previous Atopack version (not the V1) which I was a beta tester and which allowed me to stop smoking real cigarettes). I use it with 0.25 coils (not the 0.6 ohm ones) and 16 mg liquids. Its tank capacity is 8.8 ml. And its battery life lets me use it more than half day (I have to recharge it if for example I have a party in the evening).

Wow - 9ml tank is huuuge! Mine is 2 and it is too small for me, but i was aiming for something like 4....
Party problem is the same for me. Battery works for maybe 70% of a day, but i don't like the taste when the battery goes down. Btw i use 0.6 coils with 55/35/10 liquid. For next i want to test the 0.5 coils. Not for the more power, but they have bigger air-holes and i hope to get a 'deeper' feeling from more airflow.

Tonight i was allowed to test a smok blabla tank with quad coils - it was increadibly good! I didn't like the strawberry liquid in it, but the fog was so fking smooth...
After that experience i am more sure than ever that i want to have a better device. Still checking different tanks and stuff....i want to evolve but i don't want to go crazy....

I stopped about 18 months ago after 40+ years of smoking (I switched to vapes).

My tips:
1, Make sure everyone around you knows you are stopping. They tend to avoid smoking around you.
2, Try to break the habit link ( Mine was writing code - always reaching for a cigarette while coding).
3, Try chewing gum instead of lighting up a cigarette.
4, Put yourself in places you can't smoke, Libraries, Churches, Cinema etc till the cravings die down.
5, When you finally do stop, Never use the phrase "Well I stopped, so you could too" to a smoker, everyone handles stopping differently some cannot make the break.

Certainly not a "Natural Method"...

My doctor prescribed Champix. Only took half the prescribed dose, half a tablet after lunch.
You could continue to smoke for two weeks, but found after 4 days I wasn't even thinking about lighting up.

After 3 weeks I stopped taking Champix although you should have continued for 3 months.
That was 17 years ago and have never ever thought about having one. It was so Easy..... After many, many attempts.

But some crazy CRAZY dreams during the 3 weeks....
And then learning that there maybe was a link to them and multiple suicides in the USA. You could not get a prescription if taking meds for depression.

I do recall being in many episodes of Dr Who ?

Quitting is not difficult. Not starting again is difficult.
I tried "cold turkey" method and it has been 3 years since then.

Plus if you switch to disposable rechargeable vapes and happen to use B4R you end up with a supply of rechargeable batteries and coloured led's.

That's a great step forward! Cutting down from a pack a day is no small achievement. I was in a similar situation before, smoking nearly the same amount, but switching to vaping helped me gradually phase out cigarettes. At first, I still had a few here and there, especially in social settings, but finding a vape with the right nicotine strength made a big difference.

If you're looking for a simple and easy-to-use option, something like an Elf Bar 600 could be a good choice. It’s compact, hassle-free, and has a solid range of flavors, making the transition smoother.

Stopped smoking cold turkey last januari 13th and haven't touched one since. I smoked for 30 years and was at the end smoking 2 up to 3 packs a day. For me it was a pure habit thing, can't recall the last time I really did 'enjoyed' a cigarette. Went surprisingly well (first 3 days were tough) except I now already have gained 8kg of weight. But I was warned for that. Occasionally, I find myself 'grabbing' for a pack while I'm programming/thinking. It's only for a split second, but it illustrates to me how my brain was rewired for decades.
