Welcome my fellow vapers!
It's the Fourth of July! I am not normally a 'blogger' but since ECF offers this I figured I would give it all a try!
A few warnings...I write on the E-Ciggerette Forum from my Apple iPad and so my grammar and spelling is rather atrocious. Forgive me. Also I tend to go into tedious detail about things I'm sure no one but myself cares about! So if you'd like to learn more about my journey and my thoughts on the matter of vaping from the standpoint of a young vaper who is just starting out...stay tuned!
So first I am sure you want to know who I am! My username is Ciel, my real name is Catherine. I'd like to say I'm a typical nineteen year old girl in south Alabama, but I am certainly not. I go to school and hang out with friends but that's normal. In my free time I am most always vaping in bed with my iPad searching forums and websites for more and more info on my biggest hobby. You guessed it, vaping!
It shames me to say it, but when I was around the age of fifteen my friends were not the best of influences. My closest friend at the time was a heavy smoker...even for him to be fifteen as well. He came from a household of smokers and his actions went un-noticed since their house was literally a HOT BOX of smoke. He and I started to grow close as friends and we spent our free time out in the fields smoking cigarettes and waiting time. It went like this for over two years with maybe a couple of packs a week and I never sot to stop my little habit. In the cold months of my seventeenth year on this earth I lost a family member. She had been sick more than half her life with trouble with smoking drinking and doing unnamed substances. I can't say we were ever close. She was...unable to form attachment to anything even in my youth she was already 'gone'. But she always stood as an example of what NOT to do with my life...and truthfully when she died I felt like I should heed her example more religiously. I guess that's what you could say... By the new year I was smoke free by my own hand and I turned eighteen with a new leaf. I started collage and worked and had better friends...non smoking friends. And all the world was fresh.
Earlier this year just before the new year I started hanging out with friends who were on the wild side. Breaking laws, breaking bones, and drinking when there shouldn't be drinking. I knew better and there is no excuse for being a hoodlum. Haha. The only thing I really had a problem with was the cigarettes. I wasn't much of a drinker anyways...but the smell being around these people was hard to resist. I bought a pack and they sat in my purse for a week before I opened them. Marbrol lights...don't know what I was thinking. I did open them...smoked one on the way to a friends house...and sat in the drive way for a few minutes upset. I felt like I let myself down. I kept remembering how disappointed I felt when my mother looked down on me for those mistakes I had made. When she had found out before that I had drank and smoked at such a young age...she kind of looked at me like she didn't know who I was. It was hard. That day I gave away that pack to a friend and I didn't look back.
To begin with I have an addictive personality. When I worked out...I worked out every day just to get that feeling of being totally exhausted. When I eat...I eat to fill that hole I feel when I'm hungry. When I smoke I feel relaxed and at ease. I don't like that side of me but I realize it's there. Knowing who I am helped a lot with quitting, but like any addiction that need doesn't just go away even though you know it's there. I find the slightest smell of smoke to be interesting and pleasurable. This all makes it hard to quit. But I didn't just want to quit and suffer every time I'm around a heavy smoker, I wanted to quit FOR GOOD.
So to quit for good I looked at an appealing option, one that has came up again and again. Smokeless vapor. I did my research, watched the YouTube reviewed, read on forums and blogs. I used any source to gain knowledge on this subject. I had already looked into it before and in total I did more than five or six months worth of research on this.
On May sixth of this year, 2013, I met a wonderful man. He introduced me to a new world of people and with that I met vapers and everything has fallen into place. One of our friends gave me a couple of disposables and I haven't looked back! That night after getting four disposable batteries and four little V2 cigs cartomizers...I ordered my first kit!
One black 78mm Volt battery with blue LED, one charger and a 5ml of blueberry juice, and of course a five pack of XL cartomizers! I haven't had one craving since then! It's been amazing to have such an amazing support team to follow my heart and here I am happy and healthy. I still get some problems when I run low on juice...I had one 'slip' or almost slip when my juice was almost gone and payday was really taking its time. But I made a thread on here and talked it out with some nice people who gave me great ideas for back-ups! I got some links to cheap e-liquid and now I keep a back-up or two in the closet! I didn't go and buy a pack but I craved vape instead...which I guess it proves that this stuff works!
My future plans are to try ego batteries and get a tank for home or long drives...but my smaller batteries have been doing well so far! I'm happy to start a blog also...I've been wanting to try doing reviews on the products I use on YouTube but I need to work out all that later on. Hopefully I help some newbies and inspire some smokers...because all you need is a little help. I got my help and now I plan to help others!
Anyways, thank you for reading all of this! I hope you have a happy fourth and vape on my friends!
