Hello all, my name is Pat and I live in Oregon, I have chewed smokeless tobacco since I was 15 ( I am 37 now ) I also use to smoke about a pack a day but haven't had a cig in about 15 years. I can chew up to 2 to 3 cans a week depending on the brand/flavor.
I'm tired of dipping, the pain in my gums, bleeding every now and then, the occasional sore that pops up and the fact it just isnt healthy. I started reading success stories from other dippers who switched to vaping and decided I would give it a shot.
I have a few co-workers who vape and the information they were giving me and from me trying to make heads and tails was just pure overload, so, I just decided to pop into a vape shop and let them know I dont know a thing about vapes and what my goals were.
On 9-14-17, I went to a local mom and pop vape shop, spoke with the owners and even though they were busy and tons of younger college kids kept flooding in, they took the time to go over the different rigs and juices. The owner even cleaned her own device for me and let me pop the vape cherry.
I informed them that I did not want a cheap rig, or one with a built in battery and would feel more comfortable buying something I could grow into.
I left the shop with a smok Alien 220W TC and a 32ML bottle of Dragon Fever juice. After I got home, and made friends with rig, it was game over. I couldn't put it down! My biggest fear was going to be that the void of having something in my lip would drive me insane, but it hasnt! next fear was sitting at my desk all day with no dip in, no biggie, just pop outside and take a few rips.
I did buy a can of chew just incase but sice 9-14-17 till today, I have only dipped 4 times and this is coming from someone who always had a dip in unless I was eating or sleeping.
Now that I know my rig, I think I shorted myself on the nic level, while in the shop, I had them start me at 12 but honestly I think the settings on the Smok needed to be adjusted. I just finished the 32ML of Dragon Fever which was a level 6 nic and cracked open a 32ML bottle of level 8 nic Root Beer.
I currently vape at 60W with the Smok and am loving it, it is my goal to kick dipping entirely.
