Initially I gravitated to alternate combustible items like cigars and<br \/>\npipes (while not being good, are still better than cigarettes ***my previous<br \/>\nmentality). So there I was substituting cigarettes for cigars. While looking on<br \/>\nGoogle for a pipe tobacco called Hobbit&#8217;s Weed, I stumbled on an Ejuice called Shire<br \/>\nMalt by Epipemods which sounded tasty. So I started pondering, back in 2006 I<br \/>\nattempted to &#8220;cut down&#8221; with a no name electronic cig-a-like branded &#8220;the Smoke<br \/>\nShop&#8221; (think it was a 2 piece 901 or 801). The batteries lasted like 10 minutes, the<br \/>\nCartos were dry after 3 puffs, needless to say it didn&#8217;t work so i returned to full<br \/>\ntime analogs. on May 3rd, 2013 I looked up ecigs on youtube and found some great<br \/>\npersonalities, Grimm Green, PBusardo, Vaping Greek, etc. and started to watch the<br \/>\nvideos and found in the last 7 years the technology of the electronic<br \/>\ncigarette\/Personal Vaporizer has grown by leaps and bounds. Based on a few reviews<br \/>\nand my bad experiences with cig-a-likes in the past I decided to get a beginners<br \/>\nstarter kit, so I purchased an ego-T kit and a Halo Triton kit (in retrospect, a bit<br \/>\noverkill and wasted $$). I received these kits in the mail along with a sampler from<br \/>\nEpipemods. That was over 3 months ago and have not smoked an analog since, and have<br \/>\nno desire to start again. If you would have told me 4 months ago I would be quitting<br \/>\nI would have laughed at you, yet by accident and some great products here I am. Now<br \/>\ni too have evolved past the Ego&#8217;s and are now using a vv\/vw devices for my daily<br \/>\nvape, and have even dipped my toe in the mechanical mods. I share this story with<br \/>\nall smokers who have attempted to vape and failed. It is imperative you find the<br \/>\nright device, right delivery system and right ejuice, and it will be easy. the first<br \/>\nweek I was doing the combo, smoking and vaping, after the first week my taste buds<br \/>\ndecided cigarettes just taste like crap. I&#8217;ve managed to turn my wife and<br \/>\nbrother-in-law over from analogs by sharing all the knowledge I have gained by<br \/>\nwatching your videos (wish I would have know in &#8217;06). While I  have wasted some<br \/>\nmoney on my own R&#038;D, I&#8217;m still in the black compared to my cigarette expenses, Some<br \/>\nproducts are hit and miss, and I have a whole drawer full of clearos, cartos, and<br \/>\neliquids I&#8217;ll never use, I look forward to watching your videos and seeing the<br \/>\nnewest and  coolest products and your opinions on them prior to biting the bullet<br \/>\nand it has helped immensely. Keep up the good work, keep cranking out the vids, and<br \/>\nthank you for the quit assist.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin<br \/>\nBrooklyn, NY<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was a pack-a-day Newport smoker with no intention of quitting, My job does not always allow me a &#8220;break&#8221; to smoke and was looking&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-success_stories","wpcat-18-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4688\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
