ECF Celebrates Its Third Birthday

[Oliver]

Happy Birthday to ECF indeed!

And thanks to all the moderators and members who have made it such an awesome community.

I can scarcely believe it's been 3 years since I first received my first e-cig and thought: "gosh, this is good - I wonder if anyone wants to talk about it?"

Angus, I am not a black and white puppy dog...at least I don't think that I am...maybe I am and just don't realize it.

Thanks SJ for creating this wonderful forum. You have played a major role in helping e-cig users, all over the world.

Happy Birthday ECF, and to SmokeyJoe who made it all possible.

Have to wonder: How many lives has ECF helped to prolong by steering people away from analogs on to PVs. Happy Birthday ECF, and wishes for many more to come.

Happy Birthday and thanks to all the mods for making this a great place to be. I have almost the same stats as ejoker as I completely quit on 1/11/10. Looking forward to my one year birthday soon. I have met some of the most wonderful, helpful people here, won a bunch of great contests and spent way too much money finding what I like best. Still cheaper than the smoking.

Happy birthday, ECF.

Jesus, where do I start?

I came here wanting desperately to get off cigs, and with only one chance to get it right. If I got it wrong... I wouldn't have the money to try again for quite a while. I almost gave up, trying to wade through all the shaddy, over-priced, scam-ish products online, until I found ECF.

Thanks to everyone here, I did get it right on the first try, and quit cigarettes the same day, 5 and a half months ago. God, it's almost been half a year.

I tried my best to give back all that had been given to me, and wound up getting a lot more attention for it than I had bargained for, or even thought I deserved. So I put out more content, mostly for newbies, and the emails from people who got something from it kept me going.

And then I got a job in the industry, partly through the explosure I got here and in the rest of the vaping community. Someone wanted to pay me for what I was willing to do for free, and even more, embedding myself in it. I feel like I have meaning in life.

I've had a really bad couple of years. And I was getting to the point where I thought maybe I was just one of those people with really bad luck in life. Even now, I have a hard time letting go of that idea.

But ECF helped me stop killing myself, and also gave me a chance to really make a difference in the world.

I'm at a loss.

Happy birthday.

Wow - Very cool!! I wish that I found this site 3 years ago, as finding and joining has been an absolute blessing!

From the PIF's that I attend to the General discussions, to the offbeat this has been a repository of great information and advice. To the illustrious founders of ECF thanks, you've been a change agent in my life. To the Mods, thanks for keeping us "honest". To the rest of you, thanks for being a surrogate family for me on my journey from a heavy smoker, to a heavy vaper! I look forward to many more years of these types of messages, as well as my own anniversary I quit message!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary \ Birthday ECF!

I have only known you (ECF) for a few months, but you and many of your peoples, have helped me change my life for the better. Just a few months back I would wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe, coughing up a lung and still the thinking "I need a smoke!", no more!

I also want to give a great-big-old "THANK YOU" to MissNomad!
I'm sure I could have found the info she provided in her videos on my own, but she saved me a whole lotta time and aggravation.

With all of the supplies I have now, I can just Dilute my nicotine, flavor it and vape at will... Or I can just chew my favorite gum and vape unflavored liquid.

Happy belated 3rd!

I only wish I found this site sooner. Im fairly new here and have been using all the resources that ECF can provide any person wishing to make the switch. I couldn't be happier to be part of such a great community. I feel like I live here now cause I'm on ECF so much doing research and etc. Everytime I spread the word I never forget to mention ECF.
Nothin but champagne wishes and caviar dreams! Happy bday ECF!

I guess nothing much for me to say. For those who have done many in the past to bring these till now and entrusted to us to continue for many generations to come.

Happy birthday.

Happy belated birthday, ECF. Still vaping, thanks to you!

Happy belated birthday ECF and thanks everyone for helping me kick the analog habit

 

[Lyndagayle]

Happy belated B'day ECF!!! I know I would not have made it through the learning curve without this place and the Lord only knows what I would have ended up with on my first purchase. The wonderful people here helped me past the "guess" work and I got it right the first time. I haven't smoked since my first PV arrived back in April. I can never thank you enough.
