I wouldn't exactly call myself new to vaping. I've been doing it on and off for about 2 years. I initially started with disposable ecigs to help quit smoking. That worked for a little bit, until I just couldn't be bothered to buy them. So I went back to cigs, which for some reason I could be bothered to buy? After a while I was feeling all the common side affects of smoking (cough, hack, mucus, short breath etc...) so I went to a local head shop/smoke shop and purchased a Green Leaf ecig which I stuck to even longer. I moved to Colorado with that ecig, and lived literally a block away from a really great vape shop (Shoutout to Triumph Tobbaco Alternatives!), so it was really easy to buy new flavors and tanks. But a few months later, I moved back to my good ole home state.... and forgot to pack the ecig. Shame on me. So.. then I went back to smoking for about a year, until about a week ago, when my friend gave me her x6 VV ecig, which I believe is an ego battery. I love this thing, I think it is great for newbies and newbie-ish people like myself. It is very inexpensive, and the battery lasts for a while. This feels like one I can stick with, and not go back to smoking with. Fingers crossed!
