Why did you get into vaping? How did you find out about vaping?

[Axident]

I recently just ordered my first PV and I am currently awaiting it's arrival in the mail eagerly. I was just curious what drew people to vaping?

Personally I am using it as an alternative to smoking with the intention of dropping to a 0 nic vapor. I truly do enjoy the act of smoking more than I enjoy the nicotine. I definitely do not enjoy subjecting my wife (who's allergic) and two boys 4yr/1yr to the residual smoke on my skin/clothing after going outside for a smoke. I have tried a pipe and didn't mind the variety of flavors available but it is still tobacco and leaves the residual smoke (although it generally smells a bit better). I first stumbled across the concept of E-Cigs via a banner ad on a website and briefly looked into it. The upfront cost was what through me for a loop though (I believe it was the Blu E-Cig). Never gave it much thought since then, however recently I have been trying to kick the habit with no success, primarily due to the fact that I enjoy the act of smoking. I decided to look again and this time I saw Green Smoke and a myriad of others, I started looking into the various types and finally found one that would work for me. It was a low starting cost ($29 included a Starburst,650Mah eGo, and Usb Charger) and they ship to Canada (they might even be Canadian based). So that's my story, hoping to hear some of yours!

Why did I get into vaping? A co-worker had one. Told me all about how he quit a 2 PAD habit in less than 2 weeks. I figured it was worth a try. I'm glad I did as I've never looked back.

I saw mall carts and overpriced junk and thought, "Hmmmm.If this is a big business then there must be an internet forum for it."

Rapid googling led me here...fortunately!

I had never heard a word about ecigs till one day in 2009. I heard a radio ad for Blue cigs. Went home and googled ecigs and ecf was the first link that was listed-Thank Goodness!!! Spent several hours on ecf learning, and ordered a disposable from Volcano cigs. I knew with that first hit that I would be able to walk away from cigs with vaping. Started with a 510 kit and never looked back. I was able to make the switch the day my 510 arrived.

I just wanted a "personal hookah" to take to parties. Two days after I got my first PV, I stopped smoking analogs.

Nice! So your intent wasn't to stop smoking analogs at all then, but you converted entirely! Good for you!!

I started vaping so I could quit smoking (tried many times and always failed). A friend of mine had a Blu at a party, I tried it and thought it could work so I bought a Volcano Magma. I haven't had a cigarette, aside from a puff or two off a friend's, in almost 2 years now. The Magma (run of the mill 510 cig style) didn't cut it and I didn't fully quit smoking until I got a Chuck and started buying liquid from better vendors.

I quit because I was tired of not being able to enjoy my wife's beautiful kisses. She would cringe anytime I would try to get a smooch. Then I tried all the patches, lozenges, gums etc...Basically all they did was make me want to smoke more. I just happened to be in a grocery store one day and saw the "blu" in the cabinet next to the analogs and thought, "hmm, I am going to go home and research this and see what it is about". Well, after many hours searching and learning I ended up going to a head shop and they had a cleancig trial and with their carts premade it made that easy. I actually love that flavor and have no idea where to get it, but that is how it all started and have not had an analog in over 4 months. Now I am trying my hand at the DIY and have gotten a V2 that if I am correct is an 808. I have received in the last few days a maxi roughstack that I am dying to try with the right combination of juice. So there it is...

After kissing off a huge chunk of money on a Blu starter kit and a pile of cartos online, I started doing research and wound up here! (Thank God lol...I liked Blu, but 'saving money' on my cigarette habit was a pretty major motivator for me and you can't do that with Blu) Eight months and oh, still a crapload of money later, I've found my happy vaping place with an eGo Twist and a Boge Leo. (Now that I know WTH I'm doing, my vape habit IS a lot cheaper than smoking!)

31 years smoking. Done. Haven't had a real cigarette in over eight months now, and the great part? I don't even miss the damn things!
