New Life
Well now that this is out of the way, I wanted to put together some thoughts on the various liquids I've been trying over the last few months. Also, I will be muddling over the most recent purchases.
When I stopped smoking in December, for quite possibly the 800billionth time, it was needed. I was having surgery shortly, and they would refuse to perform it due to my horrific breathing. My O2 levels were pretty much in the 'this woman should be in the hospital for treatment' stage. Rather than give up on it and just puff my way away and *hope* that nobody would notice, I decided to actually bite the bullet and quit.
I bought a bunch of pens and cartridges from V2. Some of them were great. Many of them, not so great...and sadly I ended up with more of the latter, leaving me somewhat jonesing for a better experience.
I looked around, high and low...I wanted something similar to smoking, but no, it doesn't have to look like a light up smoke. It just has to give me the nicotine that I needed, and keep me from going through withdrawal - not just physical, but tactile and taste and order. I am a bit OCD, so things have to be a certain way at a certain time (ie, smoking after eating, when I first come home, etc).
Somehow, I found my way to Totallywicked-eliquid, ordered there EgoC+ Tornado 1000mh. I picked up a bunch of liquids (Blackberry, Raspberry, Tutti Frutti), and went on with my way. At this point, I was still on the fence...the berries both rather tasted like air freshener, there was just something underneath that didn't work. Those flavour palettes should work, but they didn't. On the TWEL forums, however, there were some wise suggestions: add Blackcurrant.
Wow, and did it make all of the distance.It was a sweet vape, one that wasn't overwhelming, and perfect. I didn't think twice about having a cigarette. It's been almost 5 months now, and I'm so not interested in ever picking up/tasting/smelling a smoke again.
This is the start of my new life, where I can actually run (for small bits - really horrible knees); I can walk without getting winded,I can clean my laundry and know that it's not going to come right back out and smell like an ashtray.
These days, everything smells like custard, or guava o strawberries.
