Hi all,

Just wanted to use my first post to introduce myself. I'm 28yo male and from Australia. I've been smoking for the past 12 years, starting from when i used to pinch cigarettes from my dad's carton. I remember he smoked Virginia, which were enough to make a young boy fairly green. It seems mad in retrospect why I even started smoking. I mean it just used to make me feel sick, however i persevered, as many other silly people do, and wound up. 12 years later, smoking around 20 cigs a day.

I stumbled across e-cigarettes, while looking for cheap analogues online. I ordered a cheap 510 kit from China, and was so excited when my carton arrived :thumbs: I took my first toke of "high" Marlb dekang fluid, and it was like a revelation! It didn't really taste like a cigarette, but it had the same throat kick, which is what I crave above all! I quickly realised the limitations though, such as 1 hr battery life, cartridge running dry constantly, burning out atomizers. But I thought I could work these issues out.

Now I don't smoke analogues at all anymore :banana: I use a combination of 900mah ego battery, with either boge lr cartomizer, or dripping with an ego lr atomizer as I find these the best combination. I live in fear of the law changing and outlawing vaping :( I also feel I'm sometimes at the mercy of overseas suppliers, and shipping can be very slow, especially this time of year. Overall I am very happy with the change to vaping though! I am always on the search for the "perfect vape", however I think that's what makes it fun :vapor:

Seasons Greetings to all,
Gezza

Hi and welcome to ECF, Gezza! Congrats on quitting the nasty-stix. Maybe that's part of the appeal of pv's - we're always on the search for something different and fun to try. With analogs, it was pretty much "oh let me go in the store and grab a pack". Kind of dull, really. But now with pv's it's like, "what juice flavor can I try today?".

It's just so refreshing to go from a probable death sentence (smoking), to having a new hobby (pv's).

Grats on the switch! I started on the Ego, and will never look back. I was a 20+ a day too when I switched, day 1 I was down to 4, by day 4 I was down to 1, day 5 I had 0.. pushed it out, on day 8 I tried a coffin nail and choked on it, put it out after two puffs and didn't pick up another one until I was in a car with 3 friends who were all smoking at the same time (Last time I get into a car with 3 smoker friends. No thanks guys, I'll drive myself, or walk..).
