Hey,
I'm a new member here and I just started vaping (I love it
). I guess my story is an oft-repeated one around here. I'd been smoking for a decade and recently had a few failed quit attempts due more to pressure from close family than any real desire to quit. I was worried in the back of my mind about all the health & cost issues but I could always squash those worries coz I really loved to smoke 
Was smoking and talking to a friend a few days ago and telling him about the strife I was getting and the conflict in my mind & he told me I needed an e-cigarrete. I laughed at the time but the idea grew on me and nagged at my mind over a couple days. Then I was talking to another friend yesterday morning & when I mentioned the idea to her she said her sister had been given a few of those and never used them or even opened the packaging & she was sure I could have them if I wanted. So we went and got them then and there. So that (like a lot of folks I guess) is how I started vaping, with a few regular flavour, 16mg/ml biggish analog-a-like disposables. One of these disposables is still my current PV. No, I am not ashamed, you gotta start somewhere and if it wasn't for the kindness of that friend I would still be on the rolling tobacco
I was surprised how good it was (it must be alright cause I haven't rolled one of my downright dangerous little homemade analogs since I started on the PV yesterday, nor have I wanted to & I had no intention whatsoever to quit smoking that day). I could however see some drawbacks. None of my friends had actually tried out a PV of any kind though so that was when I turned to the internet for more information and found this site at which point I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because of the friendly site and wealth of information but annoyed that I hadn't bothered to do the research earlier! So now I'm looking forward to a future that definitely includes vaping but definitely doesn't include smoking and I'm waiting for an eGo and some liquid to be delivered
Many thanks for the warm welcome I have received and to everyone who contributed to my quick "which way to go" question thread.
Cheers, ethnobot.
