Tell us why you started vaping.
Totally unplanned. I had been thinking about quitting for some time, but never got serious about it. I'm a contract programmer/database developer, and one day an acquaintance that I had worked with a year earlier, bribed me with lunch if I'd come over and help her out with a database problem. After lunch, I wanted a smoke and asked if she was still smoking... just as she was exhaling something in the dining room. She said, "that's what this is... sort of." I was intrigued. We went outside so I could smoke, and she asked me to give it a try... man I hacked like it was my first analog - it was harsh! I did, obviously, get the TH and the taste was fine. She told me about the basics and when I got home I started researching it (that's when I found ECF BTW).
I went to a local B&M and picked up an ego starter kit. I was talking to some random guy in line about juices and he said a Mountain Dew/Strawberry combo were good. When I was up, I asked the mixologist what tobacco flavor most resembled Marlboro, and he said, "couldn't tell ya, ever since I quit smoking and started vaping I haven't had tobacco flavor - why would I when I can have blueberry or coffee, etc." So I ordered some tobacco flavored juices and had them make a Mountain Dew/Cantaloupe combo - wanting to be original.
The next day, when my last pack was gone, I setup my kit and filled one of the little cartridges with a tobacco flavor, and another one with the MD/Canteloupe, tried them both and really enjoyed the MD much better. And that is how I started, and where I'm at 3 months later. I do enjoy the non-tobacco flavors more with one exception... a good RY4.
