My name is Mark Lagnese. I live on Long Island, New York. I was a NYPD cop for 20 years, with the last 17 years working the midnight shift pushing a sector car. Sadly I was a smoker as well. Easy 3 pack a day kind of smoker. Everyone knew me for either having a cig or coffee cup in my hand. Back in 2014, at the ripe old age of 52, after being a heavy smoker for most of my life, I suffered a heart attack that turned into bypass surgery. Wasn’t fun at all.( yes, I’m in the Zipper Club) To be totally blunt, I could have walked out of the hospital after my surgery and had a cigarette with no questions asked. Thank god my girlfriend handed me a Nautilus tank with a stick battery.I haven’t had another cig since then. So for me, Aspire saved my life, besides my surgeon. Today I own and use 5 Nautilus minis, with the BVC 1.8 coil, that I rotate. I never push my beliefs on other smokers, unless they ask, then it’s game on! So far, I have weaned 2 of my friends off cigarettes and into the world of vaping. I am a very generous person by nature, so I always give anyone who asks, 1 mod and 1 Nautilus tank to help them out. Of course I fill the tank with a plain tobacco eliquid, usually 12 nic to start. My advise to them is give it at least 5 days to try. And if you don’t like it, give it back. It’s that simple. Safe to say, I didn’t get my stuff back because they quit cigs and vape now. Vaping to me has become more then a helping hand, but a hobby as well. I have many subtanks and mods as well. I have tasted more ejuice then most vapers want to admit to. Check out my instagram (marklagz) and you’ll understand what I mean. But, after all of that, Nautilus is what keeps me smoke free. I feel I owe Aspire a debt of gratitude. That tank has been my work horse since the day I walked out of the hospital. I just hope they never stop making it. I am ready to give the Nautilus2 a shot. I have high hopes for it and others who want to quit cigarettes. I will be buying the usual 3 to start with as soon as they are on sale. Because you never know, another friend might want to ask for help. Thanks for all you do Phil. I know I didn’t mention it in my story but I do watch your videos and enjoy them a lot. Feel free to use my name, I have nothing to hide for being a vaper and x-smoker. If anything, I am proud of myself and all the work I put into being smoke free. Thanks again, Your friend, Mark<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
