From Kevin

I was a pack-a-day Newport smoker with no intention of quitting, My job does not
always allow me a “break” to smoke and was looking for a way to just cut down my
analog use. Initially I gravitated to alternate combustible items like cigars and
pipes (while not being good, are still better than cigarettes ***my previous
mentality). So there I was substituting cigarettes for cigars. While looking on
Google for a pipe tobacco called Hobbit’s Weed, I stumbled on an Ejuice called Shire
Malt by Epipemods which sounded tasty. So I started pondering, back in 2006 I
attempted to “cut down” with a no name electronic cig-a-like branded “the Smoke
Shop” (think it was a 2 piece 901 or 801). The batteries lasted like 10 minutes, the
Cartos were dry after 3 puffs, needless to say it didn’t work so i returned to full
time analogs. on May 3rd, 2013 I looked up ecigs on youtube and found some great
personalities, Grimm Green, PBusardo, Vaping Greek, etc. and started to watch the
videos and found in the last 7 years the technology of the electronic
cigarette/Personal Vaporizer has grown by leaps and bounds. Based on a few reviews
and my bad experiences with cig-a-likes in the past I decided to get a beginners
starter kit, so I purchased an ego-T kit and a Halo Triton kit (in retrospect, a bit
overkill and wasted $$). I received these kits in the mail along with a sampler from
Epipemods. That was over 3 months ago and have not smoked an analog since, and have
no desire to start again. If you would have told me 4 months ago I would be quitting
I would have laughed at you, yet by accident and some great products here I am. Now
i too have evolved past the Ego’s and are now using a vv/vw devices for my daily
vape, and have even dipped my toe in the mechanical mods. I share this story with
all smokers who have attempted to vape and failed. It is imperative you find the
right device, right delivery system and right ejuice, and it will be easy. the first
week I was doing the combo, smoking and vaping, after the first week my taste buds
decided cigarettes just taste like crap. I’ve managed to turn my wife and
brother-in-law over from analogs by sharing all the knowledge I have gained by
watching your videos (wish I would have know in ’06). While I have wasted some
money on my own R&D, I’m still in the black compared to my cigarette expenses, Some
products are hit and miss, and I have a whole drawer full of clearos, cartos, and
eliquids I’ll never use, I look forward to watching your videos and seeing the
newest and coolest products and your opinions on them prior to biting the bullet
and it has helped immensely. Keep up the good work, keep cranking out the vids, and
thank you for the quit assist.
