I just watched your post with your presentation in Vegas. Thank you! Thank you for that trip through vaping history. Though I wasn’t involved or even knew of it at the time, I feel like it is a part of my life from how important vaping is to me. I have done the searches and read the information and watched the videos. Vaping stopped me from smoking. Vaping may save my life.<\/p>\n

Both of my parents smoked. I protested all the way through my school years. Then I became a senior in high school. I took my guitar to parties. I drank too much. I smoked ciggies because that nicotine buzz sure went well with a few cold beers, besides, it looked cool popped in the string above the nut of my guitar ala Eddie ( you know what I mean).<\/p>\n

All of a sudden I’m off at college and I now smoke a pack plus a day. I was now a full time smoker. That was 1990. BTW…I had so much fun the college politely asked me not to return!<\/p>\n

2014: I smoke my last cigarette on 4\/20. A coworker and friend had recently gone from the Blu to the eVod. Hmmmmmm….this seems to work. On that day(4\/20\/14), I bought an evod kit (2 batteries, 2 kanger evod clearo’s and a USB charger. Oh yea…30ml of butterscotch 12mg). I swapped it up that night. My last couple cigs were left on 95 as I got off my exit ( I know….littering and all) and went home, had a drink and went to bed with my wife. The next morning, instead of heading outside for a smoke, I went to the basement and had a vape. I have had one close call since. Out at the bar, battery died and having a nic fit. It sucked. I held out as long as I could and bummed a CIG. The first puff made me cough. My stomach turned upside down. I found myself fleeing the smokers to find a trashcan…and PUKED! HARD!<\/p>\n

I CANNOT, WILL NOT SMOKE! I need my vape to get me through. I have made it down to 6 and occasionally 3mg juices.<\/p>\n

I have a hobby (building and rebuildables). I help others get started, recommending what worked for me. Helping them learn to wrap kanthal when they progress from their evods and aspires. I help people stop smoking. Much the way you helped me.<\/p>\n

There is another thing in our community that doesn’t get much talk: paying forward. We help save lives (hopefully). We help other smokers leave tobacco behind. Sometimes it is curiosity that gets them to try ( does that really work?)
\nMost smokers don’t want to smoke anymore, but leaving it behind is scary. How will I cope with blah blah blah??? The fact is YOU CAN LEAVE IT BEHIND!<\/p>\n

THROUGH VAPOR!!!!<\/p>\n

I wrote you a while ago to thank you for the info and inspiration. Now I thank you for representing us!<\/p>\n

Thank you for making it matter and thank you for saving lives with your “teacher’s way”. Don’t stop fighting and “keep on vaping” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
