My whole life I have dealt with MDD.
I started smoking @ the age of 16. My foster brother gave me one of his marb reds and showed me how to smoke it, WOW did I get a buzz off of it. I had to go in the bathroom and lay on the floor my head was spinning so much! A few weeks later I bought my first pack through his biological mother. Started with reds, than newports, kools, camel wides, camel straights, and than stated rolling my own.
I smoked until I was 19 when I went to the doctor and was given a prescription for chantix, It worked I was smoke free until I was 23.... However when I was 20 I was diagnosed with IBS border line Crohn's. And was actually told by my doctor to consider picking up smoking!!
He told me that nicotine actually decreases the frequency of flair ups. After considering it, I decided he was a quack.
Fast forward to January 2011 my adoptive father is diagnosed with COPD, and is told by his doctor that he needs to quit smoking. And was even given a prescription for a electronic cigarette. I did not find out about this until Febuary. When I did I asked my father why he had not purchased one yet. He said that he did not want to spend money only to find out it was "no good"
So I decided to hit the market to try and find a decent PV for him. I tried a disposable unit first, I purchased one for me and one for him. I sent his to him via the mail. It was a pretty good experience, and decided that it was worth while as it was very much like analog smoking. Next I purchased a njoy, wasn't very impressed. However I noticed that my IBS was getting better. (Maybe the doc wasn't quite the duck I thought he was..) Also out of curiosity purchased a 808 starter kit off line.
2 weeks later while going to pick up some refill cart for my njoy (Ran out of cartos for the 808) I found that the store I had been getting them from no longer carried them, instead they had this new product, the Mistic. I loved it and purchased a starter kit for my father and drove the 70 miles to his house in order to give it too him. Long story short he was not then nor is he now ready to give up smoking analogs. (It's his demise, and he is choosing to die that way. He watched his grand father, his father, his uncle, and his brother meet the same demise. And yet some how thinks that it won't happen to him, or maybe thinks its a honorable way out of this world...IDK)
But after noticing the health benefits I have had due to vaping, I have chosen to continue. I still have the bowl pain, but the "episodes" are spaced out much further than they have in the past.
I love vaping, the experience, the benefits for me, but most of all the community.
