So....
Names Rob, I was active duty Air Force 6 years starting at 18, and Air National Guard for 3. I was smoking analogs a little prior to the military but really started after..over those (almost) 10 years I ranged from 1/2-2 packs a days depending on the situation.

I have a minor anxiety disorder and nicotine has always helped calm that, so never really wanted to quit...especially not when the other options are panic attacks or zombie pills.

Then came this wonderful new product called electronic cigarettes into my life scope. I only saw the big names like Blu etc at first and was hesitent (cost, fear of change, etc). Then one day while really contemplating the change I come across this wonderful forum.

Sine then I have been reading differant starter guides/other posts and finally made my decision. I bought an electron-510 starter kit from electronicstix.com. Already used alot of the wonderful advice found on this forum (methods for atomizer cleaning to remove primer nastiness, PTB mod, etc) and have now been analog free over a week, quitting the day I got it.

As far as liquids go I have only tried two so far, Electronicstix Boss 50/50 Cherry and Polar Ice. Both are decent, but really starting to enjoy the cherry now that my tastebuds are improving. Can not wait to try some other sweeter and mintier flavors (never was real fond of the taste of reg tabacco analogs, was a hardcore Menthol smoker).

Anytime someone sees me vaping and asks about it I tell them the benefits, that it is important to do their research, and the best starting point is here at ECF

So that is me and my vaping experiance to date in a nutshell and I would like to say an overall thank you ECF, because I have read so many helpful threads on here I definatly could not find and thank each individual poster at the moment.:vapor:

Congrats and welcome to the forum, Rob! It's great to hear that you have made the switch successfully and it's always nice to hear from someone who took the time to digest some information before buying. Now you can spend the money that you would have spent on an overpriced kit to try some new juices!

Welcome to the forum, you made a great choice to start vaping. I know what you mean about the choice between smoking or taking some of the meds out there for anxiety/panic. I know for me the analogs were my "go to" coping mechanism when my anxiety got too bad. Now I can vape instead, still get my nicotine, and that takes care of everything.
