I got a joye eGo starter kit 30 days ago, it was weird as I had been smoking unfiltered Top tobacco. It seemed to me the cheapest way to smoke since I can roll my own anywhere anytime. After 20 years, and having 2 kids a few years back, it was really getting to me. I am in good shape, however if I did anything strenuous it would hurt to smoke and I would cough like crazy. I had the wheeze and smelled like tobacco. I always went outside to smoke, I found that was my relax time and often I would spend a lot of time outside. My kids were always bugging me to come inside or to quit altogether. I really felt like .... when I smoked. However that first cup of coffee and those cigarettes would roll themselves. Often I would notice, after my first cigarette my desire to get anything done would be reduced. Smoking was so very important to me, after eating, always with drinking, it was a part of my identity. the ritual of smoking I held very dear. Then one day a co-worker had a vaporizer, we were outside and I was smoking a cigarette and I was looking at him and asking questions, "When do you feel it" What does it taste like? How much does it cost?" He told me to shut up and to look on the internet. I watched some reviews on youtube and the joye eGo seemed the way to go. 2 days later it arrives in the mail. I unpack it as I smoke a cigarette, look at the parts, charge the batteries and wait. I put it together took my first puff of a tobacco flavored cartridge, and I was like what the hell is this. I put some licorice juice I ordered and it was strange. I still had some tobacco left so I finished that while I looked at the weird device sitting on my desk. Monday rolls around and it was to be the hottest day on record in Los Angeles. I decide to take the day off from work and take me and my BMX bike to Venice Beach to relax at the ocean. I park, get my bike, I have my back pack with towel, ice cold beers, and some bud, and my new vaporizer. As the day progresses, I am set up on the beach and I have drank a beer, the parks and rec guys roll up in the garbage truck, and a guy asks if I have a lighter, I do for the weed, I ask if I can bum a smoke he doesnt have another, so I look around and consider asking someone else, then I think of the vaporizer, pull it out and start to use it, as the day is going by it is getting hotter and hotter and more people are showing up to the beach, I see and smell people smoking, but I do not bum one. I just keep vaping, and I am getting used to the taste, I can feel the nicotine working and it is passing the beer and weed test. I swim in the ocean, ride my bike on the boardwalk and head home. I feel that it is working and my desire to have a cigarette has been abated today. The next day I show up to work show the guy who told me about it the week before, he lets me try some different juices, I start reading the forum, and I order some more juice. 3 days later I can smell everything, food and drinks taste better. The wheeze goes away. 2 weeks later I am walking the dog and kids to school, they always race each other and I decided I would sprint and race them. I couldnt believe it! I ran hard and I felt great. I can now ride my bike longer and pedal faster. I am determined now to race the other dad's at the BMX track. Something I havent done since I started smoking as a teen age BMX racer. This is the greatest thing for me. I havent touched a cigarette I dont want one at all. I love the experience and ritual now of vaporizing. I bought some colored batteries and atomizers and my PV looks cool. I explained it to my kids and they are glad their dad vapes instead of smokes. I am telling complete strangers to try it, it really works. Now I dispense vapor knowledge from my high horse to all worn out tired looking smokers! HA! Cheers Curtis
