Hi Phil, (Pete, Lou, Batman?)<\/p>\n

First off thank you so much for all the work you put into your site and videos, it
\nhas really made my vaping experience worlds better. This is pretty much my
\nintro post on ECF and wanted to share it with you. Your videos have really helped me
\nwant to try all vaping has to offer.<\/p>\n

I was a smoker for about 10 to 15 years if you count the once in awhile stuff I did
\nway too young. My main smokes were Winston red 100’s since that’s what my dad smoked
\nso my mother never knew it was “my” pack if I left it lying around. After the tax
\nincreases I started to roll my own and did that for years. At my worst I was smoking
\nnearly 2 packs a day but on average it was a carton every 2 weeks. My mother who is
\na cancer survivor (twice) always hated my father and I smoking and reminded me every
\nchance she got. Well I’m happy to say, I’ve been analog free since November 2012 and
\nhave been vaping everyday since. I started with 12\/18mg now down to the 4\/6mg
\n(probably because my Vamo never leaves my hand). <\/p>\n

How did I get into e-cigs? Well, back in late 2011 my son (7mo at the time) was
\nhospitalized with bronchiolitis which is a nasty respiratory infection. We spent
\nnearly a week in the hospital with him hooked up to oxygen, monitors and IVs galore.
\nI refused to leave his side and never even went outside for a smoke. He came out of
\nit just fine but it scared the crap out of me, nothing worse than waking up to
\nalarms from his breathing monitor and Dr. and nurses running in at 2am. I figured at
\nthat point I hadn’t had a cig in a week so why not quit since I knew I should
\nanyway. Deep down I blamed myself for him getting sick even though I never smoked
\nanywhere near him or in my house. <\/p>\n

My vaping adventure started shortly after I fell back into the analogs after
\n“quitting” for 6 months. That was the longest I had ever been away from nicotine. It
\nwas late summer and I had to do some work on my Jeep and between being in the garage
\n(where I always smoked) and my stress level I just couldn’t fight the urge. On my
\nthird trip back from the parts store I pick up a 6pack and a pack of my trusty
\nWinston red 100’s. That pack lasted me a week cause I really didn’t want to start
\nagain but having them near by was just to easy to grab. A couple months later a
\nfriend of mine came to visit and he had some brand x e-cig that he had been using
\nand really wanted me to give it a try. I will say before I knew better I was
\nconvinced that e-cigs were an expensive gimick, but a week later I picked up a
\nMistic kit at Wally world and haven’t looked back. It took about 3 weeks of using
\ne-cigs and analogs before I was totally analog free. The ball just kept rolling from
\nthere, I ordered a V2 kit then a V4L OMG vv with a couple tanks. Then I was show
\nyour VISION EGO CLEAROMIZER V3 (I THINK) LONG WICK video, laughed my head
\noff and got hooked to your site. Now it’s a hobby 6 tanks and growing to many
\nflavors to list and my trusty Vamo. A friend of mine at work and I are even going to
\nVapebash next month. (Hope to be able to say hello I’m sure you’ll be very busy) I
\ngot him on the Mistic’s during a work trip and he quickly got the mod bug too. We’re
\nslowly converting our smoking co workers and their significant others into vapers
\n(about 6 so far). <\/p>\n

I have a HH357 on the way after watching your video about dripping. Many moons ago I
\nwas a home theater\/audio tech, and when you talked about the CD on the studio
\nspeakers I had to get one. I remember getting a disc from my car and playing it on a
\nsystem I could never afford for myself and wow! Sure I’ll say the same about my
\njuice.<\/p>\n

Sorry for the long story and thanks again keep up the good work you are a great
\nasset to the community!<\/p>\n
