Hello Everyone~

[TikPandora]

The reason for me coming to this forum is actually quite an odd story. But I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Jacob and I began vaping about a month ago, but have never smoked in my whole life. I actually despise cigarettes, can't stand the smell of them, and can never see myself smoking them.

You may then ask...why are you vaping then?

Well, a friend of mine acquired a generic gas station eGo vaporizer and began heavily using it. He works at a jail where they are widely used by the staff. I found it fascinating, and wanted to try it. The simple act of vaporizing flavored liquid was appealing to me, and when he got a newer better vaporizer I got his old one.

Well, I kind of fell in love with the vapor flavors and the sensation of breathing in and out the vapor that it produced. Even though I was not used to nicotine, I quickly adapted to it...and 0mg liquids no longer did it for me. A month later, I now own my own vaporizer and quite a collection of e-liquid including Juicy Fruit, blueberry lemonade, green apple, peach, soda, gummy bear, champagne, and even... pizza.

I guess, for my introductory post...I want to really ask you all if you think this all sounds stupid or not. I kinda can't stop now...

Welcome to ECF!

The vaping community is made up of nearly all ex-smokers - nearly - all. I read somewhere that the ratio of ex-smokers to never-smoked is like 3000 to 1, but there's still that one. You are not alone, many vapers never smoked before.

I must say, I'm nonplussed about your picking up a nicotine habit. Anyone here can tell you, it's a HARD monkey to get off your back. I highly recommend you taper your nic content of your juices to zero as soon as possible; once that monkey's latched on it's murder to get him off. Get him while his grip's still weak.

No reason you can't vape zero-nic juices, many vapers do even after kicking the nic. Tastes better, too.

Hi Jacob,

I don't think that is crazy at all, in fact, I know quite a few folks that never smoked but enjoy vaping. One of the co-owners of the closest B&M to me has never smoked but loves to vape.

Do you vape with or without nic?

Never mind, I missed that part of your post, must be sleepier than I thought!

I have liquids containing both nic and no nic. I prefer the flavor of the no nic liquids, but the ones that were given to me all have nic in them. I am probably going to get no nic liquids from now on because of it.

Welcome! Not strange to me. My other half likes mine a bit too much at times. He's even even trying to pick out my next flavors.

I don't find anything odd about it, welcome to ECF.

Thanks everyone!

I bought a KGO mega battery and some kind of Gemini clearomizer for my first vaporizer. I have tried as many different kinds of liquid as I can get my hands on.

I would drop the nic now. As others have already said becoming addicted to anything isn't a cool thing. If you enjoy the vape, do it without the addiction part. Then, unlike us nic addicts, you get to choose whether you want to vape or not. A lot of vapers I read have gone down to 0 nic, because they had a long hard fight to get off being addicted, but still need the habit, or enjoy it. Most only start vaping as a way to get off cigs, by fueling their nic addiction a healthier way.

Don't play with Nicotine. In any form. You asked so

Welcome to ECF. As a former smoker, and current nic addict - Vape on, but ditch the nic ASAFP.
