Hello From North Bay, ON

[wesson]

Hello Everyone:

This is my first post on this site. I'm happy that I found it as I'm relatively new to vaping; about two months now. I'm really very excited about the entire vaping concept and experience. As an analogue smoker for 40 years, I was positive that I'd never give up tobacco, although I tried many, many times (Ziban, Nicorette gum, the Patch etc.). As soon as my vape starter kit arrived I placed my two packages of Players cigs in a Ziploc baggy and put them on a shelf in the basement (just in case...). Since that day I haven't had the urge or desire to smoke an analogue cigarette. I currently vape 18 mg juice which completely satisfies my nicotine addiction. With time I'm hoping to drop that level of nicotine. I realise that the jury is still out on the long term effects of vaping, however, I truly believe that it has to be less harmful than smoking tobacco and the side benefit is that I no longer smell like a dirty ashtray I'm very happy.

Cheers,

Peter

Congrats! It's a great time of year to drop the stinkies, especially where you're at. Since you've got a few posts to until you're allowed upstream, what's your current vape setup?

Welcome Wesson. I smoked almost a half century. I started with 18mg and now down to 10. My health has improved greatly, no more coughing and can breathe again.

Well done sir... Hope you enjoy the Vaping world as I am (just over 2 weeks now) and chasing the bunny down the bunny hole deeply. Don't let the goodies bite too much into your wallet. I am speaking with experience lol
As for this place, you got a great resource and support group here.

Welcome Peter! And congratulations to you.
Not smelling like an ashtray is great in itself. Feeling good is even better.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I began vaping using the Halo Triton system. With a 650 mAh batt its nice and small to carry around, yet gives me six to eight hours of juice and batt power before I need a refill/re-power. I purchased the Halo product based on Internet e-cig reviews and am quite happy with the set-up so far. Last week I went out and purchased an Aspire "starter kit" consisting of the carbon fibre 1000 mAh, variable voltage batt, Aspire Mini Nautilus tank, a batt charger and five 1.8 ohm BVC coils. At this stage of vaping I still like the look and feel of something that resembles a cig or cigar - its a mental thing. I've purchased e-juice from Halo direct (USA) and then in Canada, when I found the source, as well as Mad Vapers and Dash Vapes in Toronto and East Coast Vapes out of New Brunswick, all by mail order. I was able to source my Aspire system locally, at one of our two vape shops. So far I generally I prefer Halo juices. They seem to consistently please me although I can't tolerate a couple of their flavours - Captain Jack and Voodoo - too "flowery." I tend to prefer tobacco tastes, however their Malibu, Midnight Apple and Belgium Cocoa are very nice as an evening vape.
