I will stop posting about my pipe eventually I promise. Sitting around watching football today just puffing away on the old pipe was awesome. Reminds me of how relaxing tobacco pipe smoking used to be for me. It became a hobby of mine a few years ago that consumed me much like
vaping has.
It started as an attempt to replace cigs but that didn't work I just ended up doing both but did find the pleasures of pipe smoking. I always felt odd being a pipe smoker in my mid twenties though. A lot of my friends smoked cigarettes but no one smoked pipes and that hold true with
vaping as well. My friends have little interest in vaping even though I explain it to them most of them think even an ego is to big and not cigarette "like".
I think one thing that helped me transition to vaping and use egos from the start was my experience with pipes. It didnt matter how big the device was, if it would help me quit smoking then it was awesome. Now I get that same feel I remember so well and I didn't spend a fortune on it. I couldn't justify $100+ on an epipe for me when I could get a zmax2 or some other VV mod. All in all I spent around $20 on the pipe getting the few tools to make it that I didn't already have, the finishing materials and the electronics.
