I quit smoking the easy way - My Journey

You know that flem , the mostly transparent stuff , the stuff you spend decades of minutes trying to thrust from your lungs , you do ? Well i use to hate it ! I mean it was expected when i had a cold or flu but for me it was all the time ..... That's smoking for you. Not just that but i was embarrassed by my own fingers , lips and teeth .... they were orange ! and it was very noticeable yet i wasn't about to turn to the bleach and a scrubbing sponge like my partner did ! needless to say i wanted them gone.
I smoked roll ups , and lots of them and since the tobacco raised in price to closer £20 then £10 for a 50 gram i really struggled to afford it , i never counted ( was never that brave to face reality ) but a very rough average i reckon would be about 30 a day .... every time i felt an ounce of stress , i flicked , licked and sticked those roll ups. Obviously i was addicted but i smoked sometimes when i didn't need to just for the moments brain rest it gave me.
I had tried gum , patches but to no prevail , i never felt ready to quit , i didn't have that determination and mental strength , i felt like i enjoyed it.
So one day i tried an ecig , Ross my partner bought a couple from the chemist one day , you know the type that look like real cigs? Well let me just say , this time round it did not work , we both tried it and then basically lost them down back of couch without bothering to fetch them .... is one way of putting it.
 Anyways time went on ..... let me add my partner had smoked since he was 8 , i didn't want to quit unless he did but i thought at that point he wasn't going to quit , he told me in frank words that he will never quit to be exact.....
 So time went on and my sister started vaping , she bought a very cheap kit and it was the real fag look a like ones ..... anyways she was doing really well with it and bought and sent one to me , because obviously mine was down the back of sofa , and i didn't fancy the strain. I used it and i must say it was an improvement , but it didn't work well enough for me personally , so it got me looking at these what i felt at the time looked ultra complicated vaper cigs ( the ones which don't look like fags ) , i decided to go straight in there and got a full kit with 10ml of the highest nicotine level they had LOL ( should have got 18mg and did in the future ) for around £15  , I didn't buy my partner one because he was adamant he wouldn't quit smoking.
Anyways my new kit arrived and all of a sudden my partner looked at it like it was a gadget , and me being abit of a ditzy do do , didn't know how to fill it let alone unscrew the thing , so my partner did the nitty grittys and passed it to me , i took a vape and by golly it was powerful ( abit harsh ) but it soon took away my cravings and had a nice taste about it.
 Afew days later my partner got one too ! and in that time i had quit smoking fags all together , the first few days i maybe had 3 or 4 , mainly in morning and last thing on a night. But i didn't need them .... my brain at the time just wanted them.
 Anyways now both me and my partner for months and months ( sorry haven't counted the time ) have quit smoking fags all together and just vape. Vaping has made our lungs feel so much healthier and we no longer cough up junk , have orange fingers ect , and we don't stink !!!! we now realise how bad smoke actually smells and we'll never go back to it. If vaping ceased to exist .... i'd rather go cold turkey then go back to real cigs ... Why? because quitting has given me the insight i never had when i was delusionally smoking my life away. Oh and let me add its way cheaper.
Any how i will talk about this more and the types of mods you can get rather then just a stick battery at a later time , if you have any suggestions or  questions let me know :D
