Hello Everyone. I know a couple of you posted in my thread in the noob area, but I thought I should pop in and say hi.
I've been lurking on here for a good while, and figured it's time to start voicing some opinions (be warned
)
Life story:
I started smoking at age of 13. This was more of a rebellious thing than anything with my highly educated mother being the President of the Canadian Lung Association at the time. And of course I was hooked. I smoked around a pack a week through early highschool which increased to a pack a day for the past 17 or so years. I've tried to quit numerous times, and I have had relationships end because of my addiction. I was the only smoker in a strictly non-smoking family (So much so that my neices weren't allowed at my house)
A year or so ago a friend introduced me to e-cigaretts. I think he had a cheep unit from Green Smoke or something of the sort. I thought of it as a novelty at the time, and being a gadget freak I was interested. I continued to smoke through the rest of the year, but as I started doing more and more research into the subject I realized this could be my "way out".
December 2010 I purchased my first kit(s). A 510 /w PCC, and a KR8 with a whack of cartomizers. After 2 days of vaping I had cut down to 3 analogs a day. After day 5 I shelved them. I still have a half pack and fancy lighter in my spice cupboard collecting dust. I tried one drag of an analog a month later and it almost made me gag and haven't thought about smoking since. I can't believe I smoked SOOO many of those over the years.
My mother (M.Sc, B.Sc, B.Ed / Past president / lifetime member of the lung associaton) has had nothing but praise for vaping. I had to show her the science behind it, how they worked, what was in the liquid etc etc, but she's a believer, and is now recommending them to friends trying to quit. My brother and wife are bringing their kids over to the house more often, and I have to agree the place smells great now.
I've since moved up to an eGo-T system, and just yesterday received my Bloog form HV (Which is awesome BTW) and there's no looking back.
Anyhow, that's me. I'll be around asking / offering advise and suport when I can.
Happy vaping!
