Hi From Ireland

[Deepwinter]

Hi all

Just a quick introduction.
Im from a mid sized town in Co.Wicklow Ireland.
Im pretty new to vaping started when my brother gave me his old eleaf mini istick and an Aspire Clearomizer, using this got my off the roll ups after about a month of both.

I've recently upgraded after my mini istick fell apart, I decided on the Smok AL85 and went for the Aspire Cleito for my Atomiser
I've since added the Aspire Nautilus 2 to give me a MTL option as the Cleito is more of a Direct to lung Atty, I like both but tend to use the Nautilus when out and about and the Cleito at home.

A couple of other additions where a Royal Hunter mini dripper that I picked up on sale for €10 and I added the Cleito RTA System with 5ml tank to my original Cleito I got that in an online closing down sale €12.
All in all its been about a year since I started vaping and Ive been off the roll ups for all but a month of that.

Yeah... The ECF has a Tremendous amount of Great Information. And an Army of Friendly People willing to Help others.

Good to hear that you Feel Better after quitting smoking. It can be a Slow decline when you smoke. And you sometimes Don't Realize how much they are dragging you Down.

Welcome @Deepwinter

Unless I got it wrong, it sounds like you are getting near to 1 year smoke-free. Well done!

 

[Deepwinter]

Good for you. I switched to RYO mid-twenties then quit them in 2013.
You'll really enjoy the benefits as you go along.

Yea I switched to the RYO because the cost of a 20 pack was getting out of control, in Ireland the current price for a pack of 20 depending on brand ranges from €9.50 at the very cheapest to €11.50, my brand was €11.00 for a pack of 20.
€11 = $11.69 at todays exchange rate.

At 30 cigarettes a day that was €115.50 a week or $122.70 in USD
and
€6006 a year or $6381.62 in USD

The RYO were much cheaper but still more expensive then vaping as they were taxed the same way as packs.

So Vaping as well as saving my lungs its seriously helping my wallet
and ofc my home no longer smells like a dirty ashtray, I spent a few weeks leaving all my windows and doors open to completely air out my house to get rid of any lingering tobacco smell.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

It's terrible (the 'sin' tax on cigarettes).

11.5 euros is pretty darn steep. £9.80 in £GBP.

I live with a smoker and she spends £5,300 a year on smoking. She works part time and it doesn't even pay for her habit.

It's all very sad. I remember dramatically reducing my smoking costs with RYO and imported tobacco (from holidays and business trips).

Anyway... I'm sticking with vaping for ever or if I find a way to stop.

Welcome and glad you joined. In CA, the voters just approved a tax hike of $2.00 per pack,perhaps it's all the more good for vaping.
