Hello folks!
I figured I would add my little story to the mix. I know reading these has helped me a lot!
So I was a pack and a half smoker for about 13 years. Cigarettes had gotten so expensive around here that I started rolling my own. While I didn't hate it, I hated the nasty stains it made on my fingers. I've tried some of the smoking cessation stuff and it just wasn't for me. When I tried the gum I would smoke a cigarette with the gun in my mouth lol.
One day I was on some website and I saw an add for a "safer alternative to smoking." I decided to click on it and I read what the site had to say (don't even remember which one the the "free trial" scam sites it was.). But I decided to do some research and started watching YouTube videos. Funny enough I almost went with GreenSmoke. The thing that stopped me was the promotional codes everyone was offering. I looked down at the comments sections and low and behold someone had "e-cigarette-forum dot com" on there.
I came to the site and was still super skeptical. I figured there was no way this piece of plastic and metal could replace a cigarette. Oh how wrong I was. I researched and researched and finally after a good month of lurking I decided to dive in. I ordered an eGo and a 510 pt with a selection of liquids.
Now my first day is worth mentioning. I got my stuff in the mail and I was actually really excited. I pulled everything out of the box and immediately got the battery charging. I put it together and stepped outside (didn't know if it would stink up my house). I took a good 7 or 8 drags off my e cigarette... and I was sick as a dog. I later realized that I didn't blow all of the primer out and my body doesn't get along with atty primer ha.
But I made quite the investment so I wasn't giving up. I have not smoked a cigarette since I started vaping. I can't begin to express how much this has improved my life. I have certainly had my days, but all in all it has been pretty much painless.
I had pretty bad Asthma that developed a few years ago. I have not had a problem since I started vaping. I can smell again! It is miraculous. I started smoking at 12 and I had forgotten that things actually have a scent. Mind you I have a 14 month old so it is a double edged sword, but with the bad comes the good right? Just the last couple of days I have started to be able to taste properly again too. I drank some fruit juice tonight and it was completely amazing! The most monumental for me is the fact that I can sing again! I have been playing music all of my life and it has been sad that my singing voice has been declining. I can feel my throat healing and my voice starting to come back!
The e-cig has saved my life. I feel like a 26 year old again. I can be active without gasping for breath. To be able to take a real deep breath again is fantastic! Anyone who stumbles across this just try it. If you are already using the e cig keep up the awesome work! And if you read this wall of text you are awesome!
