I decided to enter a chronicle of my experiences. I found out about electronic cigarettes from a call center that takes calls for one of those shady monthly subscription e-cigs. I listened to the whole thing and hung up. In hindsight that is the best conversation I have had in the last 15 years because it led me to ECF. I thought the concept was great just couldn't see shelling out $69.00 monthly for something that was advertised for free. Like many people on new members forum I'm someone who happened to find ECF and just got sucked into it all. I spent weeks simply reading and reading. After all of my research I decided 1,000's of people can't be wrong. And I ordered a Riva. It arrived on my 30th birthday which happened to be my QUIT day. 1 month later I still have not smoked a cigarette. I really need to get rid of the banner in my signature as this is definitely WRONG. I have spent so much money collecting juice, buying a hello 016 and an indulgence which have been gifted to converts and sending items in PIF I probably won't break even for a year. Juice is definitely a weakness for me. But I'm perfectly fine with it.
This vaping journey has taken over my daily life. I'm constantly waiting for my phone to buzz with one of my subscriptions, constantly stalking the juice reviews for the next possible order and in all this time I haven't missed cigarettes for one second. I've allowed co-workers, family and friends to try my new found love and all but two have purchased their own. I'm very happy with my decision to start vaping and I am now entering the phase where I want to DIY. Have got plenty of flavors, PG and VG no nic because I don't trust myself enough to do it correctly but maybe I'll cross that bridge in a few weeks.
I'm very greatful to the ECF community as a whole, I have joined 2 possibly 4 co-ops which allowed me to try quite a few things that I probably wouldn't have for quite a while and saved a few dollars in shipping. I have also joined the PIF social group and the generosity of complete strangers reaffirms my belief that people are instinctively generous if given the opportunity. And the wealth of information is mind-blowing to say the least. I've found that pretty much everything that I have wanted to ask has been answered and if it hasn't just 20 minutes posted on the forum and I am sure to get at least 5 helpful respones. Gotta love the internet!
