My Questions for everyone:
1. If you were an analog user: How long were you using analogs before you switched?
I was a 40+ year 1 1/2PAD smoker, three times in my life I did quit analogs for a short period of time, twice with the pregnancies of my two children, and once cold turkey for four months but lived with a smoker and the temptation was too powerful.
2. How long have you been using a PV without analogs?
I smoked my last analog on August 30, 2012, which was the day I received my first cig-a-like kit. So it has now been approximately 1 year, 3 months, analog free.
3. Do you use both analogs and a PV?
I could never go back to analogs, the smell of the smoke literally turns my stomach.
4. Economically speaking, how much have you saved using a PV compared to your old analog habit?
Honestly, I cannot say any money has been saved. I kept a budget showing what was spent on cigarettes each month for both me and my husband, my budget was about 1/2 his. So in my journey I still spend that amount of money, but buy me new vaping equipment, juices, and DIY supplies. But in the grand scheme of things, I still spend $1,000.00 per year less than him.
5. What was the reason you switched to PVs in the first place?
Well, I was tired of waking up each morning coughing up a lung. I listened to my father do that all the years growing up and it frightened me, more so, it frightened my one and only grandchild who I cared for. I wanted to be here for her, to watch her grow up...the choice was an easy one.
6. Have you noticed any health benefits? (Better breathing, etc?)
Prior to vaping, I was on High Blood Pressure medication which has now been eliminated. I can breathe better, I can smell (sometimes that is not so good) and I can taste again. I don't get winded just climbing a flight of stairs, and I can go on long walks with my granddaughter.
7. How did you find Halo?
About a month after I started vaping, I was trying all sorts of different e-liquids, and had noticed people talking about Halo in the Forums. At that time, my daughter also decided to try vaping, and we ordered a sample pack. My daughter automatically fell in love with Captain Jack and to this day will state Captain Jack is the reason she was able to quit. I have ordered on and off for the past year, but in the past six months Halo is the only premade liquid I order, all of the rest I DIY. I can't live without Captain Jack, Torque56, Tribeca, Turkish Tobacco, Prime15, Café Mocha, Voodoo or Southern Classic - I have a vape drawer specifically for Halo liquids and consistently make sure it is stocked.
8. (Halo is my favorite company out there, and my brand of choice.) If this is the same for you, please state the reasons you like Halo the best!
As stated above, it is the only premade e-liquid I currently purchase, the quality of the liquid is beyond outstanding. Although I have moved from a beginning strength of 18mg down to 6mg, I find no change in the flavor profiles or lackluster of any kind. It's quality liquid, just that plain and simple.
