y'all skeered him away!
welcome when you come back be sure and check the threads you authored (used to run a General A&M bbs so this is my preferred format) chat's are like an electronic ball and chain.
for me starting, it was important was that I had the right nicotine level for me, I was a die hard been smoking on and off since my teens, up to two packs a day smoker, so I started at 24, then week 2, I was at 18, now 12, my fiance' is still on 24, but he's 55 and been smoking since he was 9 (in his gravely voice to the vape shop kid when asked how much do you smoke? He replied "I smoke like a broke stove" *lol* And make sure you've got enough batteries (one on my vape and a "backup) 1300mah worked fine, and on the mod an extra 18650 )so that when I was out and about (work etc) I didn't run out, just like my cig packs (rolled our own) one in each vehicle, and the purse. With that armory I was unlikely to bum a cig or cheat as I had my drug delivery system. *lol*
If you're in an area with vape shops, there's always someone with a suitcase full of fun gadgets and with a lil mouth tip condom they're more than willing to let you try them all out and see which one you like. Or go with an ego starter kit.
you'll get "there" don't worry...it's a maddness, a good one, I feel so much better, no more respiratory meds, etc. Good luck!!
