Here's my intro that I never got around to posting on any of the fora:
I live in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah.
I'm pagan, and a Reiki teacher/practitioner. I'm discovering that vaping is helping my energy work in both arenas, since my toxin overload has slowed down, and doesn't block it the way it used to.
When I'm not on the Internet, I read, or I go hiking and hug trees, or I make jewelry, or I hang out at the local coffee shops.
I'm currently unemployed, and learning how to do business online. I HATE working in an office.
My analog-digital history:
I started smoking in 1996. Last year I started a job in an office that STRONGLY discouraged smoking, even if I was polite about it. At that point I was smoking ~1/3 pack/day.
I started dabbling in snus, because I SAID YES TO MY ADDICTION. Those were OK while I was in the office, or anyplace else I couldn't smoke. I enjoyed them (sort of), but I was still smoking.
After I got laid off on 2009-06-05, I stopped using snus and went back to smoking.. and smoking... and then smoking more until I was up to almost a pack a day. I was starting to whistle a bit when I breathed, and getting awesome hacking and lung butter in the morning. With no income, I was beginning to notice how expensive those cigarettes were. American Spirits aren't cheap, and all the cheaper stuff tasted like smoke and ashes.
I remembered seeing somebody smoking one of those new-fangled "electronic cigarettes", and decided to do some research into them.
ECF was one of my research spots. Thanks for all the great info.
Cost and health analyses told me I would do much better switching to e-cigs, and so once again I SAID YES TO MY ADDICTION, and ordered a 510 starter kit and a few accessories. My research also told me how much fun I could have mixing my own flavors, so I planned ahead and ordered juice.
After the initial charge, I started vaping and totally loved it. I've smoked a few analogs since then, each time wondered "WTF.. why did I just do THAT again?!?"
I estimate I vape more nicotine now than I used to smoke. I vape ~12 mg strength.
I'm having fun mixing my own flavors.
