At this point my sense of smell and taste is returning and blood flow is increasing back to a normal level.  I’m slowly becomming a non-smoker again.  

I’m currently sitting at my desk typing this with a nice cup of coffee and my PV and I’m good.  I did get my new PV on Friday.  I had ordered a V2 cigs PV and I’m really enjoying it.  So let me recap some things.

I started with using the Green Smoke ecig and it was ok.  I had some issues with the carts being old but they still kinda worked.  I then did some looking around and found that the Fuma carts also work on the GS battery.  So I know the local shop here is starting to sell the Fuma stuff so I went to the smoke shope and bought a pack of their carts.  They worked.  The vapor output was ok, and the taste was ok.

Now lets skip to Friday when I got my V2.  I may actually do some real reviews of these things soon.  So I got my V2 and charged up the batteries.  I am seriouslly impressed by the V2.  The flavor of the carts is great (I only got the V2 Red) and the vapor output is awesome.  Good throat hit and vapor thickness.  

Lets see how the day progresses, but it’s Day 5 and I’ve had no real cigarettes today.  I’m not going to punish myself if I have one but I feel I’m doing a great job in transitioning away from tobacco.

So I ended the day and had a couple clove cigs or rather cigars because now clove cigarettes are illegal and they are now called cigars.  

All in all a good day with basically no craving for tobacco.

On this day I only had 3 cigarettes the whole day.  I got up in the morning, had 2 cigarettes and then later in the morning I had my third.  I know I only had the 3 because that’s all I had left in my pack and I didn’t roll anymore.

So on Day 4 the total was 3.

Since this post is a little late Day 4 was a significant improvement.

Anyways I think the day went by quite well.  The “need” for a real cigarette was very minimal and not really noticed.  I did have a few which Ithink is fine.  After all I’m doing a transition to the PV or e-cig and I think my current progress is amazing.

Stats:

04/14/2011:  Day 2, 10 cigarettes

Conclusion, I have to say I’ve already had 2 cigs today when I woke up just out of the habbit of getting up and smoking, I went to my smokes instead of to my e-cig.

Now in 2011 and with cigarette prices at record highs I have actually started to inject my own cigarettes (roll my own).  This is a very economical approach to smoking, but in reality smoking is bad and I should quit.  Should, but doesn’t mean that I have put the effort into it.  Not in a while that is.  I did quit about 5 years ago for a period of around 4 months, but then started again.  I know, bad bad… but that is life.

Now I mentioned the Green Smoke electronic cigarette.  So the other night I pulled it out of my desk, started charging the batteries and decided I would put some real effort into transitioning from tobacco to using the E-Cig.  Today was my first full day of using it and I can say I have definitely smoked a lot less real cigarettes than I normally do.  

To put things into perspective on any given day I smoke atleast 2 packs of cigarettes (40 cigarettes) and sometimes more.  Today I have smoked less than a single pack (20) of cigarettes.  In fact I would say I have actually smoked less around half a pack.  This to me is actually quite amazing.  I have to say I’ve been vaping (the term for using the E-Cig) a lot during the whole day, but isn’t that the point?  

This actually has me thinking I may be able to fully transition to the E-Cig and move away from real tobacco completely.  I’m going to for once actually be positive about this.

This is day 1 and I smoked less than a pack.  I will post tomorrows results.  Tomorrow I’m going to try and actually keep track of the actual number of real cigarettes that I smoke.
