Hi all.
Not sure if introduction threads are appropriate or encouraged, so if not - feel free to remove.
Been a lurker for a week and decided to sign up today, can I just say, it is awesome to see so many great people giving so much advice on here, it's really thrown me how supportive and informative this place is.
I've been smoking since I was 17, regular brands until moving on to roll ups at age 20 (no filter). I'm now 33 and decided it's time to quit, after approximately 10 years of NRT which worked briefly, before back on the 20-30 a day habit.
My partners Mother started on a e-cig which looked like a regular smoke, gave that a try and failed miserably to quit. Was an over the counter job from a newsagent (E-Lite I believe). I work in a large office with designated smoking areas and noticed people using some kind of "sonic screwdriver" devices, and started asking some questions - a month ago, finally sourced an Ego-T battery with a CE-5 (I think) tank, and got some 24mg juices, and away we go.
Not had a "smoke" since.
I've encountered a LOT of negativity, since "vaping" - from my smoker girlfriend, who doesn't see the point, to family and friends that just say "quit, forget that and just "quit". So, finding this forum has been a god send, trust me. I now see I'm not alone vaping, and the benefits of a community to just back me up mentally and emotionally.
I think vaping is the future, and find the idea of smoking odd now. 34 days to the day since a real smoke and feeling better, smelling better, and my skin, teeth, hands, nails, everything, is better.
Sorry for a long intro post, but without E-Cigs and Vaping, I reckon I'd have smoked 20-30 rollups until I died an early death, my god Vaping is a MUCH better alternative.
God bless, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I'll win her over. She still maintains my Ego-T with a CE5 is a sonic screwdriver. Just wait until I get a MOD.... ^.^
