Howdy from Missouri!

[Elwin]

Hi all! I've been lurking and learning here for maybe a week or more, and I have to say I'm glad I found this community before I decided to make any kind of purchase. Seems there's a lot of junk out there being pushed off on the uninitiated. Thankfully, you're all here sharing your experiences.

I'm a 2 and 1/2 a day menthol 100 user, and after 40 years as a smoker, I'm really looking for an alternative. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE smoking. But I know what it's doing to my health, and even more importantly, what it has done to my social life. "Persona non grata" seems to be the polite term for smokers nowadays.

(In the last few years I feel like the guy who just converted to Judaism. In Germany. In 1939...)
8-o



Anyway, I ordered my first system this weekend, and am hoping I receive it soon. A classic pen style (801) with extra batteries, carts, extra atomizers, and couple of bottles of flavors. (From Diet Smokes.com, btw)

I'm hoping this will give me everything I need to start, and I've got my fingers crossed that I can make the transition from analog to digital...



Thanks to all of you!

Wish me luck.

Elwin

Welcome from one Missouri newbie to another.

I smoked for almost 35 years. I've been vaping now for two weeks and can't stand regular cigarettes anymore. I am truly astonished--and delighted!

You were smart to find and read this forum first. I wish I had. There's a lot of great information here.

 

[Elwin]

Thanks for the welcome, all!

Pooch Smooches~

hey all! I'm from Kansas City and have a hard time finding any places around here that sell locally. i would love to find a shop where I could get liquid and see different types of vapes. I just ordered a mini 901 kit from Totally Wicked for a friend and I. Should be here soon. very excited! I keep reading reviews and watching videos. unfortunately, all they make me want to do is have a cig. Can't wait to stop this filthiness. I am heading to Palm Beach for Christmas and am looking forward to smoking in the airport and on the plane. Has anyone had wierd expieriences on planes?

Still haven't found anyone locally on the forums yet.

thanks,
mikey

Another Missourian (Springfield area) here saying HI! I've been here for a couple of weeks and just received my first 510 kit over the weekend. Anyway.... This forum has been a great resource for me and hopefully it will for you all too!

Welcome!

Too bad we're so far apart.

Add me to list of Missourians! My husband & I and another couple are going to the Texas Bowl in a couple of weeks (M-I-Z!) and I discovered another benefit of being a non-smoker----you can reserve a hotel room on hotwire for cheap without worrying if they have any smoking rooms available!!! My husband still smokes analogs so I guess he will be the one making trips to the parking lot for smoke breaks HA HA. I am (kind of) hoping for a non-smoking room that I can vape away in!

Actually, I will call the hotel and see if they can book us a smoking room. Don't want to be stuck with a cranky hubby all weekend!

Another Missourian accounted for - Ozark area - just a rolls throw from Lamberts.
Did you start smoking when you were seven Timothymass?

Peace and chicken grease is cracking me up - and today I really needed something to laugh about.

Welcome Elwin & other newcomers...and hi to the rest of you miserians too.

[timothymass]

yes i don't know what i was thinking my parents found a pack of cigarettes under my bed when i was seven. I remember smoking grape vine when i couldn't find any cigarettes. I was a pyro and liked smoke and catching things on fire lol

Welcome to the world of Vape !!

I loved smoking too...but now I love to Vape !

I would suggest ordering different samples from different e liquid sellers here...lots to choose from, and then you can decide which flavors you prefer. I have lots of liquid that i thought i would love, only to discover that i dont like it so much...and some ive ordered thinking i wouldnt care much for, have become my favorites.

Good luck !
