Hi Everyone,
My name is Mary. I am originally from Oregon. Met my hubby 15 years ago online (just after my 3rd attempt to quit smoking). We got married 3,000 miles and 9 months later (no baby involved, we are too old for that) I landed in Charleston, SC.
I have two grown children and three beautiful grand daughters. My son lives with us and my daughter's family is nomatic.
I and my son have a small bead shop in Summerville.
Since my husband and his mother didn't smoke, I managed to stay off ciggarettes. My mother-in-law passed away and my son came to live with us. He was a smoker and the temptation was just too much. It didn't take long to get back to a 2 pack a day habit, even with only smoking outdoors.
I used Chantix last year to try quitting again. It worked, but after quitting the Chantix, I really missed smoking and started again.
A customer came in one day to get some supplies to make a lanyard for her pv. We talked with her about her e-cig and she seemed quite pleased with it. We were talking to a friend/customer about it, and she pulled out hers. She was iffy on the subject, but it raised our curiosity. My son decided that we should try it and ordered a kit from South Beach. It didn't take long to figure out they were way expensive and cut ties. We found the forums, and a new vender for batteries and carts.
We were just going to stick with the standard ,arts . Too busy for a new hobby. Found pre-filled cartomizors becoming too expensive, so we ordered
juice (the China kind) and empty carts. Tried a new vender with home made
juice, that was the end of the chinese juice. Discovered a box mod and atomizors next. Two weeks ago we bought a couple of Ego-Tanks. Waiting now for juice from Ivape.net.
The best advice I could give a noob is buy enough supplies. Running out the first time within a week, we went back to analogs. The second time we had a couple of months under our belt and when we tried an analog, it was sooooooooooo gross. I found some pepperment juice just to get rid of the taste. We still haven't quite got down the shipping time, so we are on the edge agian. Mixing what ever has a few drops in it to vape.
