I just started vaping 1 week ago. My girlfriend advised me she was going to quit smoking. We live in Phoenix and it can get up to 118 degrees or more so we smoked in the house all summer rather than swelter outside for the sake of getting what little, if any pleasure from consuming analogs.The weather just started to get nice a few weeks ago so, in anticipation of her quitting cold turkey I decided to try vaping after speaking about it with some people at work who do it.
We washed the walls, the blinds and shampooed the carpet and decided that for the remaining time before she quits we would commit to smoking outside.
My better half, whom smokes maybe 10 analogs a day decided to go cold turkey. I on the other hand, have been smoking between 1-2 packs a day for 40+ years and the thought of going cold turkey did not appeal to me.
On one of my trips to our local Quick Trip to pick up a carton of my weekly cheap low quality analogs, I saw a sign saying "We now sell E-Cigarettes". Thinking this would be a good start, I purchased the Jasper & Jasper Xplorer starter kit for $19.95 and eagerly returned home
conjuring images in my mind of what it would be like to join the ranks of those that smoke E-Cigarettes. No more ashtrays, Bic lighters and room deodorizers. No more stinky clothes and breath, heck, maybe my teeth would even return to a shade of white instead of the ugly brownish color they are and have been for decades, It was exciting.
Upon arrival at the homestead I opened the box and read the instructions, it even came with a USB charger. "This" I said to myself "is the pinnacle of smoking technology".
After charging the battery for the required time, I screwed the atomizer on to the battery and inserted it in to one of the cartridges.
I took my first drag the same way one would smoke an analog not knowing any better. The hot vapor entered my mouth and went in to my lungs while burning the back of my throat. It was terrible. I was extremely disappointed but I knew that there must be more to this "E-Cig" thing so decided to do some research on the Internet.
I found the Halo G6 starter kit and it was recommended as a good starting point for noobs, I ordered the kit and while waiting for it to arrive switched between the horrible J&J's and my cheap analogs. I even tried the menthols but they were just as horrid as the non-menthols.
On Friday evening the Halo G6 arrived. The packaging was impressive as were the components themselves. I plugged the charger in to the wall socket and the battery in the charger and went to bed, maybe tomorrow a whole new world of vaping pleasure would open up.
I got up in the morning, grabbed a cup of coffee and proceeded to sit at my computer and read the news like I always did with my analogs but today was different, today I was going to try my Halo G6.
I took a cartomizer pre-filled with Prime 15 and screwed it in to the battery, took a few more sips of coffee and then a long drag off of my first KR808D1 E-Cig. The sky seemed to open up before me, what taste, what pleasure as the vapor entered my mouth. I held it for 2 seconds and inhaled. The throat hit was nice and cool compared to the J&J. I exhaled slowly through my nose. "This" I said "THIS is what vaping is all about"
I have not as much as touched an analog since.
Today I took a trip to my local vaping emporium and purchased a bottle of Bella Valente, primed a blank carto and partook of it's earthly delight. My life is never going to be the same. Vaping is a pleasure as opposed to smoking which was just a necessary evil.
