I'm new to vaping and new to the forum. Had no idea vaping had such a huge following. Yeah, it's made the news a few times and convenience stores now carry ecigs (was never interested in ecigs... just a curiosity at the counter while waiting to pay for gas), but over the past few weeks I've been researching and this is a pretty big deal. And getting bigger fast.
Quick backgroung. Quit a 20 year cig habit in 2001 after about with pneumonia, couldn't smoke for 2 weeks and thought God gave me a chance to quit and I took it. Never smoked a cig since. About 5 years ago a friend introduced me to cigars on the golf course and that pretty much grew out of control and led to an almost daily cigar habit (you think vaping is expensive? Try good cigars at $15.00 a pop). 'Nuf said about that, at least no inhaling and lungs are great, but dentist charged me extra for cleaning. Yuck. Cigars taste great, but are really nasty when you get down to it. The same friend showed up a couple of weeks ago on the course with a pen style vape and talked about it the whole 18 holes. You could easily tell us apart. He was the guy that smelled like vanilla I was the stinky guy with the $15.00 cigar. I just kept thinking this was really interesting, and appealing quite honestly. Anyway started the research and I'll be damned if I can find any definitive information on the health risks on vaping, and from what I have seen the anti-cig groups have been trying really hard...for years, to show some bad news for vapers. But haven't found it yet. Guess that doesn't mean there isn't any, but I can think of quite a few issues with cigars on a regular basis. So I'm taking the plunge and getting started. And really excited about it. This isn't just about "smoking". This is so much more with all the devices, mods, flavors, styles, techniques, and of course a lot of good folks eager to share. Plus, I'll go back to the regular cleaning fee at the dentist. What's not to like?
Thanks to everyone that takes the time to post and add to the enjoyment and understanding for us noobs. This is a whole new world with lots to learn and it really help to hear about the pitfalls others have found that I won't have to re-find... I hope.
BTW, on the course I'll be the guy that smells like caramel mocha.
