Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been lurking around and reading and figured why not join in. A little about myself, I used to smoke anywhere from half to a full pack a day of the strongest self rolled menthol's I could make lol. Obviously after a few years this impacted me quite a bit. Getting winded at work from going up a flight of stairs was an every day occurrence. Lifting heavy things, or even small things would leave me huffing and puffing my way through the next few minutes. I could literally hear my heart pounding trying to keep me going. A task so simple as cutting the grass took me an hour or two for a large sized yard and a push mower. As Mark Twain said, "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world, I've done it thousands of times."
I would quit, gain weight, start back up, lose weight, cut back and get edgy. I would be edgy with my wife, my kids, other family members and my friends. At the age of 26 I actually started having heart palpitations but I could NOT quit smoking, even to save my life.
One day at work, a friend of mine came in with a vaporizer. Nothing fancy, just a non vv battery and a top wic tank. He is a diesel mechanic and to see him working without a smoke hanging from his mouth was a rare sight. It had become a literal part of doing his job. He told me to try it out, the local tobacco shop has them for sale. $20.00 and a few minutes later, I had made a life altering decision. Analogs would no longer be a part of my life.
I quit smoking and started vaping ~5 months ago. Its amazing. My lung function has improved so much, and my blood pressure has nose dived back to where I used to be before I started smoking. My doctor was amazed when it came up 110/73. He asked what I had done, and I told him. No food cravings, no edginess, no weight gain. And all from a little vapor.
5 months later and I am still vaping and feeling better and better. The first two months where consumed by the nasty deposits from tobacco being coughed back up. My sense of smell and taste are back to where they used to be. I ran out of juice once and tried a cigarette. I nearly threw up lol. It tasted ssssooo bad.
Anyway, now I am a full time vaper, and I love my current set up of ego ctwist topped with a nautilus mini BVC. I push it to 5 volts using a variety of flavors. My latest and greatest is GWAR's Jizzmogoblin. Its like inhaling a blueberry pancake.
So let me know what you fine folks are in to, thanks!
