So I decided to give the whole ecig thing a try as an alternative to cigarettes. I've been somewhat interested in it for a couple of years now. I finally broke down and bought an Njoy one day just to check it out it out. It was ok. Nothing special. The biggest problem for me was that it came no where near the 2 pack it claimed to replace. I kept hearing this ad on the radio for a new ecig shop open in a town close to me so I drove up there and checked it out.

I was surprised at the flavors that the juice came in. I did not expect this. I walked out with an Ego twist VV starter kit and a couple of bottles of juice. I used it for a few days. I thought it wasn't too bad, and I could see how it would help people quit smoking who really wanted to. My problem? I wasn't really ready to quit smoking. I enjoyed it. The ego twist got put aside because I didn't want to be inhaling nicotine in between cigarettes. That just seemed stupid to me.

In the meantime I was spending a lot of time at my girlfriend's house. She's not a smoker so I would go outside to smoke. I got tired of having to do that, plus it was starting to get colder. I decided that I could at the very least bring my Ego up there and use it there so I wouldn't have to continually go outside to smoke.

After I bought the Ego originally I came home and did an internet search for the juice out there, and didn't really find anything. What I did find was higher than the store so I just gave up on that. What had bought was going to last me awhile anyways. I saw my uncle over Xmas and he had an ecig. We chatted a little about it and he was talking about a forum he always goes to. That's when I found this place, and after perusing this website found ALL kinds of ejuice suppliers. (My original search parameters were wrong. I was searching for liquid nicotine and not much comes up for that.)

I ordered some samples from a supplier and was quite impressed. That's when I decided to give up the analogs for good and switch exclusively to the ecigarette. Not a decision I'll ever regret I'm sure.

My sister's non-smoking husband bought her a beginner kit last August - she switched over and never looked back. I did the same just over a week ago. I had tried an e-cig (cig-alike?) some months ago and really hated it... that thing just made me sick and did nothing for my nicotine crave. I'm glad I gave this a second chance. Now I'm seeing someone who has decided that if I can do it, so can he... and he's like you, doesn't want to be the one having to leave to go out and smoke. I hope he sticks with it!

Amazing how this all works :)

CONGRATS AND WELCOME!!!! This site is so impressive tons of wonderful people with TONS of information and help from some wonderful people. I found that this is a hobby and just love it more then I ever loved smoking. I am so glad to be vaping and know that it has enhanced my life and will prolong it for sure.

This I know! I've been lurking here since Xmas. Many people seem genuine and more than happy to help. The best forum I've seen hands down for anything. I don't know how much of a hobby it will be for me in the context that it is for most people. I don't see the need to have 5+ mods. I'd just assume to go ahead and get something great that will last. That's why I'm already vaping on a Provari. I do want to try other tanks though. I currently have a Vision clearomizer, Smok Pyrex tank, and a Kanger PT2. I really like the PT2, but wanna try others. Suggestions are good for that.;) But the juice! I want to try them all! I've ordered many samples from FreedomSmokeUSA, and a few bottles from MtBakerVapor. I just want to keep ordering more from other people as well. I'll most most definitely be getting into DIY Liquid sooner rather than later which is why I decided to finally go ahead and make an account. I don't know my uncle's username on here, but something tells me that's the part of this forum he spends his time. LOL Surely I'll run in to him there.

I am so excited for you. Please, please let us know if you are ever thinking about smoking a cigarette. It is such an easy thing to avoid now that you're vaping, but the positive reinforcement you will receive from these people is incredibly helpful. Vape on, brother.

I don't know that I'll ever smoke another analog. I've smoked one in the pass 3 weeks. Even then I didn't do because I felt like I needed it. I just wanted to. The only time I'd really like to have a regular smoke is when I'm sitting around my place playing some FFXIV on the PS3. Even then I hit the vape a couple of times and quit thinking about it.
