i quit analogs in may 2013. I was tired of being out of breath all the time and my habit was actually getting worse. My wife used my vanity against me and pointed out some wrinkles. I knew then it was time to move on!!!

first step was the njoy king, actually liked it a lot still do in a pinch. Mistakingly ordered the v2 kit. liked it but quickly returned it and got 2 650 egos and some evods. Shortly after that the MVP taste came home with me. I just ordered a prover mini today!! Also have a couple mech clones on the way!! its my new favorite hobby in the winter months and find it to be a relaxing and challenging venture wrapping new coils etc.

My non smoker brother always complained about how I stink from smoking and some of his co workers started vaping and he loved how it didnt stink like cigarettes. I was tired of the cigarette prices so I gave it a shot. I started with Blu and Njoy throwaways then got a cheesy Ego set which didnt last long so I got an Evod kit and never looked back!

Started off about 10 months ago, went to an indoor swap meet and seen a White Dragon booth with cig-a-likes. Bought a kit and some cartridges. Tried it for awhile and I just couldn't decent vape out of it. Stopped for awhile and then got ripped off by a Brilliant Smoke kiosk in a casino. Started back up again about 2 1/2 weeks ago, bought a Mini PT and an extra battery and some juice. Got tired of charging my two batteries daily so I found this place, did some looking around and purchased an MVP 2.0, got it last Friday. Ordered a backup on Sunday and picked up 120ml of juice from Pink Spot Vapors since they had a shop about 10 minutes from my office.

May return my second MVP 2.0 and get an iTaste 134 from Pink Spot.

I bought an e-smart kit in September, just wanted something so I could avoid going outside to smoke in the freezing blowing snow this winter. I never intended to quit smoking, I loved RYOs, smoked for over 20 years. While I waited for my kit to arrive I discovered ECF. Reading people's stories made me realize, hey, maybe I do want to quit... I haven't smoked since the day I starting vaping. Use an SVD now, with glass tanks, but I still pull out the little 808 once in awhile, it's so easy to carry.

I purchases the blu cig about 4 years ago before you could buy them at convenience stores and loved it at a first but didn't do it for me after a while. Went back to analogs on and off for the last 4 years, longest I had was about 8 months free of smoking/vaping; I used vaping every time to get myself off. A friend had some type of mod when I first bought the e cig and then it tasted awesome but then I forgot about it every time. Fast forward to march 2013 I quit using the blu again and picked up again after I went through a nasty break up and then found out about this wonderful world of vaping in October and have been vaping ever since and DO NOT miss smoking on bit. I haven't saved any more though since I have spent it all in the last two months but I am finally settled on my set ups and couldn't be happier!! Keep calm and vape on!!

It's been a month and I can't even remember where I first saw it. All I know is I had bronchitis going on 8 weeks, I researched it and the very next day I ran down to a local B&M where they hooked me up with a starter kit containing 2 Vision Spinner batteries, 2 clearos, a charger and 30ml of 18c Icy Menthol. 33 years of analogs and I haven't looked back. My bronchitis cleared up right away.

My 4 year old grandson said, "Pawpaw, you need to quit smoking before you turn blue and die. I don't want you to die."

What could I say?

I started with Blu (I know now that they aren't all that good, but they worked for me.) Now I've got a couple of no-name 1300Mah VV spinners, an eVic, a Vamo 3, an MVP 2, and a Provari full size. It's been 14 weeks yesterday since my last cigarette after smoking for 46 years. I don't miss it a bit.

Converted one of my nephews, my daughter, my son, and two of my co-workers so far. Not evangelizing, but they have all seen the difference in my health in this short period of time.

I have to get in the way-back machine for this one.

In 2008, ecigs were still mostly an underground product. You didn't find them in any retail or convenience stores.

As I recall, there was a news story about these new e-cigarettes people were using to quit smoking.

I had failed with all other attempts to quit smoking, so I went online to learn more.

I found a company (don't recall the name) selling $50 cigalike starter kits. Bought one to see what it was all about.

It worked well enough to prove the concept was good, but poor enough to know I needed something better.

More research led me out of the darkness.
