Hey guys! I just switched over to vaping after smoking for erm, counting..... 15years! Come to think of it, I had been smoking for half my life
! Was a one pack, 2 days guy.
How did I switch to vaping? I recently went to Newcastle to visit family and to further my studies (I'm from Malaysia), and I bought 2 cartons of duty free cigarettes on the way to sustain the habit (I knew cigs were expensive there!). Well, as my stock started to run low, my brother (who doesn't smoke or vape), recommended me I try vaping instead as it'd be cheaper. This was a week before my birthday, and I thought, I might as well do something good for myself this year. No harm in giving it a try.. I got my 1st kit (a Ce4 + ego 650mAH + menthol e liquid from liberty-flights) about a week before I ran out of ciggies. It was ok when I first tried it, but I didn't use it much due to me still having ciggies.
After I ran out of ciggies, I started to exclusively vape and it gave me a (very) bad sore throat. Then again, me being a menthol smoker, even switching brands or switching to full flavour will give me a sore throat. Anyways, I decided to not go back to smoking, and It's been about close to a month since I last smoked!
The other day, my battery ran out while I was out with friends (who were drinking - i kicked that too a year ago), and I started to get really uncomfortable. The drinking and smoking in front of me and me with my battery dead, I finally couldn't take it and bummed a cig from my friend. Boy was I surprised! Half way through I started feeling very nauseous, and before I know it i'm puking my guts out!! I threw the cig away and told myself, no way in h*ll am I going back to that!
But i'm really glad I started vaping, I can feel my stamina (i used to have none whatsoever!) and I smell better and can smell and taste better (but now I seem to detect if my nephew poops before anyone else does
). Anyways, just wanted to say hi and share my story on how I quit smoking and started vaping instead. I know ideally its best to quit smoking and not pick up vaping but this will do for now, I always tell my self small steps at a time. I would never have been able to stop smoking if not for vaping!
