Hey folks,

I've been lurking for a while, finally decided to post up and introduce myself.

'Name's Jason & I've got a (from what I can tell) unique story. I started chewing tobacco when I was 14 (freshman in HS) and chewed Copenhagen until I was 31. A few months before my 32nd birthday I met a girl that stole my heart, she had no idea I chewed (I was always very discreet). I told her and she was OK with it, but for the first time...I wasn't. I didn't want to miss out on any kisses lol

That's where she saved my life. She was an avid V2 user and got me to try them. I loved it. No "cravings", no more bad breath, no more nasty teeth, etc. So I bought my first kit ($150 total). That got me off chew, cold turkey, for over 5 months!

Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I finally got frustrated enough with the TINY little V2 tanks & batteries that I began looking for more. More mL size tanks, more battery life, more of everything!

So I headed to a local head-shop, because that's all I could think of, and they sold me a cheap-O brand eGo style battery, a 3mL vivi nova clone tank, and some pure VG juice along with a 50/50 blend bottle of juice.

I hated the pure VG juice, but the 50/50 wasn't bad. And the vapor was AMAZING. I was in love! Finally a battery that lasted more than 2 hours, and a tank that lasted all day!

Then a few days ago, the battery died. Full charge over night, died in an hour. I was frustrated, to say the least. So I did some more research for a better shop with better products. I found my new favorite place, a local B&M called Gekko Vapes. It's a small startup, but the people there are SUPER friendly and they make their own juice. They let me try all the different juices and sold me my first "mod"

I'm now, as I type this, vaping away on my iTaste MVP and ProTank 3. I charge it every other day, and fill it only twice a day. I'm in heaven!

So yeah, I just wanted to share with the vaping community that not all vapers came from smoking, it's beneficial for chewers too! :2cool:

Another here. Was a smoker... still pack lip but winding down... haven't done the full quit yet but I really should.

I'll go a day dip free (corporate setting helps lol) and come back from work/gym and pack a lip after dinner as I watch tv with a beer. I'll go through 3 lippers a night... so not too bad.

Ordered a new mech mod and a KFL+ in preparation:p

Hey! Former Denver chewer here as well! Quit almost 1 FULL year ago and I haven't looked back. In fact my entire band used ecigs to quit smoking/chewing together. Our local shop RinoVapes (lodo area) actually sponsors our band and converts our chain smoking fanbase into vapers at every show.... it's pretty cool!

Nice! I haven't been down to Rino yet, but I'd like to check it out. Finding local shops has been a blessing. I've used the app VapeSlate to find other local shops, and I saw Rino on there.

Hello there. I know that you said that you have the itaste MVP but have you tried the itaste MVP 2? I was just wondering your thoughts on that and is thee much of a difference between the two?

Yeah, sorry, I should have been more exact. My MVP is the V2. Check out a YouTube guy named Pbusardo or go to tasteyourjuice.com He's got WAY more info on there than I could put here lol


What up fellow Coloradians. BRONCOS!!! On topic though, I was a chewer too and a smoker. Vaping got me away from both. No desire for either because I get all the nic I could ever want or need. Good job on given up on that nasty stuff:toast: Vaping is so much more appealing.

WOOHOO!! Colorado love in here! lol :2cool:

good choice on the MVP... I am loving mine. Way better than those stick batteries.
You're not kidding. The girl at the shop let me put my Protank 3 on her MVPv2 and the flavor & vape was INSTANTLY better. I was sold lol

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some times I DO miss chewing, having it in my lip was like second nature. I still find myself reaching in my back pocket for my can after a meal lol

Hell yea man! Congrats on making one of the best choices ever! MVP all day! Love mine so much.

I was initially turned off by the "box" look, but it's grown on me, not to mention the features...ALL the features...it's too good to pass up for the price!
