17 years of smoking here, and decided to quit when my first child was born almost 5 years ago. The electronic cigarette industry was comparatively ancient at the time, and the devices were...not the best. Anyhow, I kept at it, and within 4 months, had transitioned completely without realizing it. Can't even remember a ceremonial "last cigarette", although I'll still have a cigarette once a year as a harsh reminder.
In any case, I followed much the same road once I switched; I stepped down from 18mg (headaches!) to 12mg, and now I'm at 6mg or 3mg depending on the liquid I have. I can't describe just how much my health has improved over that span as a result.
Also, devices and liquids have _vastly_ improved in the past 4 years, to the point where when I give recommendations to others looking to transition, I don't get cold stares back from failed attempts and cheap devices that kept them from ditching cigarettes.
