I started vaping with a ego kit and a couple of flavors of e liquid back on<br \/>\nThanksgiving weekend on 2013. In January one day I decided that I was not going to<br \/>\nsmoke anymore cigarettes about two week after that I got the urge for a cigarette I<br \/>\nlighted up figuring I would get the satisfaction that I remembered of the cigarette<br \/>\nhanging out of my mouth and the pleasure that I remembered, wow was I wrong it was<br \/>\nthe nastiest thing I could have imagined and after the second attempted puff I put<br \/>\nit out in an ashtray and haven&#8217;t had one since, I won&#8217;t say I do not  have the<br \/>\nconcessional urge for one more I would say the feeling of holding a cigarette in my<br \/>\nmouth with my lips, that sound so wrong lol.  But I have progressed to some<br \/>\nmechanical mods and a itaste SVD and a Siegeli ZMAX 3 and am very happy to know that<br \/>\nI am not inhaling all the harmful toxins that are in a cigarette as I smoke it.  I<br \/>\nam glad that this option exists and yet am scared by the moronic speech of all the<br \/>\npoliticians trying to ban the devices and the e liquids that may end up saving my<br \/>\nlife from one of the multiple disease that are attributed to cigarette use.  My<br \/>\nquestion for you is beside make more videos you rock and I check each week for new<br \/>\nvideos, is is there some place that I can go that takes the data that these<br \/>\npoliticians spew from these different studies and breaks the reports down into basic<br \/>\nunderstandable info that a normal human can understand and not something that make<br \/>\nmy brain hurt that is the CDC survey report on school age kids using cigarettes and<br \/>\npersonal vaping devices.  I think that the industry and users need to get away from<br \/>\nusing the term of e-cigarettes and e-cigs so that this can not be used against us,<br \/>\nand I know that it is a easy term for the companies that make product like blu and<br \/>\ngreen cig to market to smokers but it was maybe not the best thought out plan. Well<br \/>\nnow that I rambled on way longer that planned  .  I just would like to say thanks<br \/>\nfor all the great info and comedy you provide on your site and in your videos and<br \/>\nfrom a proud to say hopefully continuing ex smoker who smoked for 27 years prior to<br \/>\ntrying vaping and finding a way to give up the cigarettes at the age of 44 and<br \/>\nknowing I have a long battle to stay off them. Thank you for all the encouragement<br \/>\nyou give in each and everyone of your videos and maybe one day I will have the honor<br \/>\nto meet you at a vape meet somewhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil, I found your site while starting and getting involved with vaping to try and help me to reduce my addiction to cigarettes, this past&#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-6444","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\/6444","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=6444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6444\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
