The postman dropped off my first vaporizer today at 3:00pm. I opened all my windows to air out what was once my tobacco death chamber. I brushed my teeth. I threw away all the ashtrays. I assembled my new KBOX and SubTank Plus and filled the tank. I took my first drag and coughed. I turned up the watts and coughed some more. I turned it up another step and nearly burned my lips. I backed the wattage back down and breathed deeper, stronger, longer, pulling that vapor deep into the depths of my fragile lungs. I managed to not cough. It was like learning to smoke (something stronger than tobacco, which I recently also quit) all over again. It tasted delicious.
I watched a lot of youtube videos to begin this journey with proper gear. After reading countless testimonies from people starting with lesser rigs, then upgrading and upgrading again to finally obtain the necessary essentials for them to fully quit cigarettes, I decided to dive into the ocean of e-juice head first, while skipping the costs associated with upgrades. Sink or swim.
I have smoked cigarettes for 27 years. I have stubbornly shunned vaporizers, in fear of new technologies, thinking it would just be another futile attempt, ending in failure as all the others have before today. I'm sure many here share a similar story. Chantix made me insane. Cold turkey made me despise poultry. I read Alan Carr's book over and over again, strengthening my bond to Big Tobacco with every failure. This time will be different, because I get to breathe clouds from my mouth that contain nicotine.
I want to repaint my walls a bright white. I want to clean my entire dwelling, from top to bottom. I want a new, all white wardrobe and curtains. I want to breathe and taste and smell again. I want one of those banners in my signature that keeps track of my progress and money saved/earned.
I never want to give another $7 to my ex-captor/killer for something that leaves ashes and needs fire. For something strangers ask to bum from me. For something that keeps me buying butane and flints for my lighters. For what once left my face coated in a film of tar and tinted my teeth a revolting shade of yellow. Today begins my journey. It's going to be different this time, because I have VAPOR now.
