V4L has truly changed my life. I am a 41 year old wife with a wonderful, supportive husband and mother of two little boy's. I have smoked since I was 15 years old and a pack of cigarettes was .75 cents! My best friend and I used to walk over to the local Burger King at lunch time and buy smokes out of the machine. You remember the machines where you put the change in and pull the lever for a pack of Marlboro Lights? Well, sometimes the pack wouldn't come out and I was convinced that Burger King had a secret video that monitored kids trying to buy cigarettes and the pack wouldn't come out if they thought you were underage. Ahhh youth.
Anyway, I lost my Father to lung cancer when I was 19. He wasn't even 49 years old. You would think that would have slowed me down but it didn't. I smoked all through my 20's and early 30's until I met my husband. He tried to get me to quit but that didn't work out but I did cut down. I didn't quit completely until I got pregnant with our first child. Quit the day I found out and didn't smoke again until he was nearly a month old. Quit again when I got pregnant with my second and then went right back after he was born.
The thing for me is, I always loved to smoke. The feel of it in my hand, the smoke, the hit, all of it. I never smoked around my kids or in the house. Always at night, sneaking off to have a smoke. In the winter, I would smoke in our garage and the next day my clothes, my hair, the garage stunk of cigarette smoke. I hated it and always tried to air it out so no one coming in my garage would smell it. Long story short, my kids are 7 and 6 now. During the winter, when I was smoking half the night out in the garage, with a space heater mind you, to keep me warm. Well in the morning, my kids starting saying "why does the garage stink like smoke"? I knew after that, I had to do something.
I kept hearing ad's on talk radio about ecigs so I decided to order a "free trial". I was so excited to get them. My husband was excited and praying they would work for me. Well, the free trial arrived and they didn't work. I was so dissapointed. I thought that at least, if they worked, it would keep me inside and not make the garage stink and my kids wouldn't smell it.
I didn't give up. I started doing some research and watching videos on u tube. I stumbled across a video about V4L and decided to give it another shot. So I ordered one of their starter kits with two batteries, a case, a pass-thru, etc. To my amazement, it totally worked! I didn't want a cigarette and I didn't have one!
I kept coming on this forum to get more info since I still hadn't figured out the juice or what carts to get or what strength to order. So many people on here were so helpful. One guy even dropped off some juice to me, free of charge, at my job because I was out of juice. That is the length fellow vapers will go to help a newbie out.
Now, after nearly 100 days smoke-free, I have figured out my flavors and strengths and what kind of batteries I like and which I don't. V4L has been nothing but helpful with prompt responses and quick fixes for the very few issues I have had. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for producing this product and continuing to make it great.
I want my little boy's to never smoke a cigarette and not having their mother smoke will hopefully be an incentive for them to never start.
Thank you so much V4L!!! I will continue to recommend you to any smoker I know in the hope they will give up smokes for vapes.
Keep doing what you're doing!!!!!!
