I Joined these forums around a year ago, actually last September once I discovered what vaping actually was. I haven't posted much, just questions here or there, but I want to let everybody know how my vaping experience has come sooooo far. I am currently 29 years old and started messing with cigarettes around 17 years old and once I hit those Newports it was over. I continued and moved onto Marlboro lights once I joined the military, but still continued to smoke, over a pack a day. After having kids, and my wife getting more and more tired of my smoking, thinking about cancer, my kids seeing me smoke, running was horrible, and the smell awful a friend told me about vaping. I tossed off the idea because I was a tobacco man, and loved cigarettes. Soon as I woke up, after I ran, after a meal, after an energy drink, after sex, with each and every beer, before bed....it was all day long. I would take 20 minute breaks at work, and smoke 3 or 4 cigs on these breaks. After some thought, I gave the vape a try, it was different, and unusual, and didn't seem to peak my interest, but he claimed it was amazing and he barely smoked cigarettes anymore. I ended up buying my starter set from madvapes, and when it got here I immediately started vaping. I smoked still as well because I just wasn't used to it, so I kind of did both together all day. I still couldn't get over strawberry, and cheesecake flavors, so I had ordered tobacco flavor with my set. I was slowly moving away from cigarettes and vaping more but was learning a lot as well. I only had one battery and was freaking out when it would die, so I would smoke cigs of course so I bought another battery. That helped a lot, but then I kept getting the burnout on each of the clearomizers and of course they were throw aways. It was a struggle and seemed to tedious to even keep up with. I am stationed out here on Guam so shipping takes a while, and vaping was just starting to hit here as well. I discovered mtbakervapor from here and reading the forums, so I looked into their products. YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR NICOTINE WOW, that's awesome lets start our strong with 36mg right. Boom got it, I started playing with flavors and trying them out, and started to enjoy it a lil bit more and slowly started to dislike the taste of tobacco. But damned if I didn't keep getting my clearomizers to burn out. it was very irritating again and discouraging that I couldn't just enjoy my flavor, and stop smoking so another thing I wanted to just give up. I read that clearos burn out quick, and depending on your pg / vg ratio may help so I researched those to as well and realized you can CHOOSE THAT too. I discovered from here that you can buy rebuild able cartos or whatever and was excited all over again. So kanger tank with rebuild able heads it was, and coconut juice 36mg with 80PG was what I went with. AMAZING I tell you. I was vaping all day, and ditched cigs altogether around December last year. I purchased new batteries for a longer life, bought more tanks, and more heads and man I tell you. Folks here on guam actually drip tip so they'll build mods and drip and blow huge clouds, etc and that's really all we have here so I could never find liquid here that topped mt bakervapor and when I asked for 36mg they gasped like damn youre going to kill yourself, we only have 18 is our highest. So I started planning ahead and I would order more at a time and I would never run out. I started to slowly lower my nicotine, each lever at a time. It was an adjustment, but with the 80pg I was still getting that throat hit and it took about a week to adjust each time. Through the ups and downs and going out of my mind trying to find juice, to racing home to get a battery, to hiding in the bathroom at work to vape I am so happy to be down to 6mg, 80Pg blueberry or coconut from mtbakervapor. I have the schedule down I order the huge bottle of juice, I order 1.5 ohm heads and get more kanger tanks all from mtbakervapor when I run out. I order new batteries from time to time but man, Ive been cigarette free for a year, I can run better, no smell, no smoke, I can take it to movies, and since Ive traveled with my wife all over Asia and back to the states, a vape on a plane makes a sane man sleep well 
. I am happy where I am at, and although I do have this thing near my mouth all day long, and plan on moving down to the 2mg next month I feel this has been an amazing adventure I wanted to share with all of you, and thank those who have guided me and helped along the way. Thanks guys and merry Christmas.
