Today is my 11th day without having a cigarette. I used to smoke about a half a pack or more a day. At first I started with 6mg of nicotine juice but found myself reaching for the ecig every 15 minutes. So I bought some 18mg juice and used that for a few days and did pretty well.

After vaping for about 5 years, I have found that I'm just sensitive to certain flavorings. I have experienced the burnt tongue, dry cough (very different from the smoker's cough that went away 2 weeks after quitting), and also swelling/irritation around the edge of my lips.
