i smoked 2 packs daily for 32 years, I have now been smoke free since 3-1-2013 and have not 1 time given it a thought to pick 1 up again. I started vaping seriously after that and I am now at a point that I could stop vaping completely if I so chose, but I vape because I enjoy it not because it is an addiction, plus it is also now a hobby for me and I'm learning more and more daily, yes you can go get an e cig and vape and leave it at that but I have found that to better my vaping I have to learn more and more and I love it, I cant wait to learn to make my own Lr rebuildable coils. I even make my own e-cig cherrywood holders to display all my apv's, mech mods, vv/twist and clearos tanks. I feel healthier and I love my hobby along with ecf and the knowledge of the people here, I am determined to be one of the people on here that people wanting to learn will be asking me for my help, and I will be happy once I know what I need to know about everything there really is to vaping and vaping properly. thanks ecf, this is barneydale
