You have heard it before, and you will hear it again, but THANK YOU.
\nI had tried horrible tasting gas station e-cigs in the past, but they never did the
\njob. I would always use analogs at the same time.
\nOne day in the smoking area at work I saw this guy put a pen in his mouth and then
\nblow out what looked like smoke. It Intrigued me so I asked him about it. <\/p>\n

It was what I now know to be an EGO style battery and cartomizer.<\/p>\n

I thought about that device the rest of the day and on the way home I saw a sign for
\na vape shop and walked in.
\nThe staff was helpful, I had no idea what to ask for, I just said “I want to try
\nthese”.
\nSampled flavors, different nicotine levels, and left with what I thought was a
\ndecent starter set.
\nWell it failed soon(did not know I had to tip it to keep the coil wet) and I wasted
\nmore money trying to figure it out on my own.
\nAfter watching videos from informative people like yourself I am now the owner of a
\nVV\/VW mod and am enjoying an amazing vaping experience. Almost 3 weeks now without
\nan analog and I do not miss them a bit.
\nI was immediately able to stop a 40+ analog a day habit once I had a good setup.<\/p>\n

Other advantages of vaping that I have discovered along the way. <\/p>\n

1)I can vape in the house whereas I could never smoke in the house. My wife never smoked and it was always an argument when she smelled the cigarette smoke.
\nShe doesn’t mind the smell now. She says it smells like a scented candle. She likes the smell of some liquids better than others, but she has never complained about them.
\nNo more standing on the front porch in inclement weather just to get the nicotine.
\n2)I do not smell like an ashtray anymore.
\n3) Cost… Well I think that I will eventually start saving money. Discarding the cost of getting good equipment, the daily cost should be a fraction of what I was spending on analogs.
\n$6.00+ a pack for my 30 year hump back named analog, times two packs a day compared to 5-7ml of 18mg.
\n4)I can breathe easier. There may not be any scientific study that proves these are healthier than smoking, but I don’t need one. I don’t cough all the time any more and I do not get winded doing simple tasks.
\n5)Food is tasting different. Flavors are stronger.
\n6)I have a new hobby. DIY e-juice supplies are on the way!<\/p>\n

Downsides.
\n1)My truck stinks to high heaven.
\nI have tried every imaginable air freshener I can get my hands on and it still smells like an ashtray. Hoping this will clean up in time. <\/p>\n

Without folks like yourself, I would no doubt have given up and gone back to analogs.
\nThank you.<\/p>\n

P.S. I have also managed to convert 3 other people from analogs to vape. I carry several sealed alcohol wipes with me. After discussing vaping I sanitize the tip, hand it to them, and let them try it.
\nEach and every analog smoker that I have done this with, has ordered their own setup. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
