Back in December when we were in the Philippines, one of my friends who vapes told me about this forum. I have lurked around for a few weeks and then decided to join.
My journey that led me to vaping is probably pretty average. I was ready to put down the cigarettes but I really enjoyed smoking. So started the nicotine gum. It worked but I was never really satisfied. Every so often I still had a smoke or cigar to satisfy the craving.
Eventually I picked up Blue ecig and began the road to not smoking. This almost satisfied my desire to smoke. So being the kind of guy that likes to research things, I discovered mods. This is what helped fool me into thinking I was smoking but we all know it's not.
Early on what made this a bit difficult is that I'm a guitar player in a band and we play private parties and bars. People drinking like to smoke and bars are smoky places. My ecig became as important as my stage gear. Now bars are not as smoke filled as they once were and a lot of the customers are vapors to.
It's been three years now that I haven't had a tobacco product and I feel pretty good. I build my own coils and even make some of my own juice. I enjoy going to vape stores because that's a place where you can easily find people that share a common interest. Most vapors like to hang out and talk.
That's the abbreviated story of Me getting off the smokes and onto vaping.
