Hi everyone!! I'm Aeryn and I started vaping in September 2015. A month later I had quit traditional cigarettes for good. I was a 40 year smoker who had tried everything to quit until I found vaping, it is my miracle, I thought I would never be able to quit. Since then I've read a lot, tried to educate myself about vaping and have now come to the point where I wanted to join a good forum. ECF is it! I currently use an Eleaf iStick 30 watt with a Kanger Subtank Nano with 0.5 ohm OCC attys. I have a ton of questions which I will put into the appropriate forums. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. <<<<<waving hello
Hello from former 36 year smoker formerly from Kansas. Welcome to ECF! Congrats on your switch, I read here for months before I finally joined in.

How do I get one of those ex-smoker sigs?? It's something I'm very proud of!!!

I'm pretty sure that if you just find someone else's banner that you like just click/touch on it. Should take you to a site where you fill in the info and it will give the code to enter into the "signature" area on your profile page here.
At least that's how I got mine.

Welcome Aeryn, I'm just up the road. I was also a 40 year smoker before I discovered vaping a few years ago. Glad you joined the party.

There are several vape shops up here in Jayhawk land if you need them.

Yes I should be preparing to watch KS vs CT tonight, but I'm not a native. I'm an old Boilermaker and I lowered my Purdue flag on Thursday to the quiet sound of taps.

It's so nice to meet someone so close!! I'm a KU grad but Jayhawk land has changed quite a bit since my college days. I figured there had to be some good Vape shops there but haven't checked them out yet. The B&M store here really sucks so I've been going to the one in Gardner as my grandson took me there the first time. I guess it's time to head up to Jayhawk land and check out the stores there. Looking forward to it :)

One thing I have noticed about vaping is how if one person in the family and friends circle starts, I've seen more and more of my family start vaping, I love it!!!! Between hubby and myself we have 9 kids (7 his, 2 mine, and he is 22 yrs older than I am but he gave me the one thing I've always wanted, a huge family, he comes from a family of 15 kids) and more grandkids, great-grandkids and great-great-grandkids than I can count without writing them all down. More and more of our family smokers are taking up vaping. I had 2 reasons for wanting to quit smoking. First, hubby had a heart bypass last May and I was fine going outside to smoke in the warm weather, but was desperate to quit before winter, going outside to smoke in the cold just wasn't an option, lol. Second, our daughter who lives in the same town as us, she and her hubby were determined to quit because of their growing numbers of grandchildren, I'm up to 10 great-grandbabies and toddlers (oldest is 5) just thru her, I also wanted to quit as they are reaching the age of remembering what happens around them and healthwise, it just wasn't good to have them around second hand smoke. I'm proud that at least those 10 are no longer around smokers. My grandson in law who was half smoking/half vaping immediately threw away his cigs at the birth of their first child 3 weeks ago this coming Tuesday. We're having a healthy impact on our family and I just LOVE that!!!
