My man is a cigar smoker and as many of you know those STINK to high heavens. I joined VF a 8 days ago and have a ton of posts asking advice and for help deciding on what deal to go with. So now after researching for awhile I have decided the Ego or a Riva are best for us for a first vaping device. I am grateful to everyone who's helped me, but I figured it was time to take the plunge here since I have been lurking for days now and I really think you've got a great set of forums and I like the format.
I was a smoker for a LONG time, I am 41 going on 42 and I started when I was about 13, only it didn't hook me right away until I was about 16. So anyway, I had a dentist tell me he'd need to do a flap and stitches when he extracted this bad tooth I had. He said, "UNLESS you quit smoking today, when you come back for the actual extraction I am going to have to do stiches and the flap procedure. There's a chance it will regenerate in time to not need this though if you can stop smoking today."
Well scare tactic or not, it worked! I stopped not that day, but the following morning. I was a 20-25 cigarette smoker and quitting cold turkey was AWFUL! HORRIBLE! If vaping had been around back then in October of 2005, I'd have tried it in a heartbeat. Knowing most of you don't smoke analogs anymore is inspiring to me, you see my mother also smokes, has for over forty-five years, and not cigs, mini-cigars which she is inhaling!
We hope that after my man vapes and shows her how much he's enjoying it (we know there's a learning curve but he's highly motivated) that she will use a starter kit we'll get for her, again, either an Ego or a Riva. I am really hopeful that these PV's will help stop the damage she's been doing with cigarettes and the mini cigars and help her start to feel better. ANYTHING to get her OFF analogs...I did some you tube searching last week and saw GrimmGreen's videos which were and are awesome, and also Ritalee76's videos. I am really inspired by these and other reviewers and members of this forum and Vaper's Forums. Thank you all for being so cool to learn from.
