If you could email yourself back when you were a newb, offering the best vaping wisdom you've gained since then, what would you write?
Here's mine:
Dear Harlequin,
congratulations on making the choice to start vaping. I know it's scary to prepare to say good-bye to cigarettes; after all, they've been with you through so much. Twenty-eight years of life, good times and bad times ... but the truth is that you're not getting any younger, and your old pal Cigarettes isn't really the friend he once seemed to be. You know? That slight wheeze won't get any better while you're smoking, and you know that's just the tip of the iceberg. Time to say goodbye.
Anyway, I know you've done your homework and are all prepped to get a Joye 510, mostly because it's about the same size as a cigarette and it has a cool blue light on the end. Go for it, its a fine model. Just be aware that there's something called an eGo in your future. BTW, don't bother with cartridges and filler; just drip the niquid onto the atomiser. Trust me.
I won't lie to you, there will be times when you'll sorely miss smoking. Maybe it's a chemical thing, maybe it's psychological, or nostalgic, or whatever. Here's my big tip for you; don't beat yourself up for buying a pack of smokes. Because you know what? This "vaping" thing really, truly works. You're now smoking, what, a pack of Marlboro Red 100s per day? Give it three weeks and you'll be down to almost nothing. I know you don't believe me now, that it sounds too good to be true, but it is true.
And then one night you'll suddenly notice that you can smell again, in a way you haven't even noticed you've been missing for the past twenty-eight years, and a hamburger at the 4 Moons Tavern will suddenly taste so intense you won't be able to finish it. And vaping satisfies the cravings, and it costs less, and you can do it anywhere, and you will.
Oh, and did I mention the flavors? Remember how you always used to like a cigarette after eating chocolate, and you wished they made chocolate flavored cigarettes? Well, you're in luck ...
So don't feel guilty about having an occasional cigarette if some part of you still needs one, because I guarantee you, you're never, ever going to be a "smoker" again.
Take it easy, but take it -
