Hello all,
my name is Brandon and I am new here on the forums. I guess I should start this post by telling my story and explaining how this all leads to provari.
So, my wife (aleksa) and I are currently expecting our first boy on March 5th. When we first found out, I knew I had to quit smoking. I was smoking roughly 2 packs a day and they are crazy expensive in Chicago! $12-13 a pack. Not only was this terrible for our budget, but it was also starting to click with me health wise. I am only 20 years old, but I could already sense the "fatherly" instincts kicking in. I never had a dad growing up, and didn't meet him until I was 18 (alcoholic deadbeat), so I knew I wanted to be around a really long time for my boy. I wanted to quit cigarettes. I kept putting it off for months and months. Until finally, 3 months ago, I stopped by a little ecig store and tried out an ego. I only had one experience with electronic cigarettes and it was a bad one (busted out $150 for a mall kiosk crap stick). I was extremely impressed with the ego though. I knew I could quit cigarettes and vape this. So I picked up an ego c twist style battery and an evod. I immediately stopped smoking. Cold turkey. This was amazing. For the past three months, I've started to advance my knowledge on ecigs and began to expand my collection. I upgraded to a Kanger protank mini, got a Kanger protank 2 and was even beginning to steer into the direction of carto tanks. My wife has been incredibly supportive, despite our crappy financial situation. She would put aside $10 bucks a week that I could spend on a vaping. Up until a few days ago, I had a very nice little collection going on of various egos, and different tanks and juices. I kept these all in my backpack. I had a very nice little set up where everything was portable and could fit into my backpack. So a few days ago, we had a beautiful day in Chicago, despite these months of freezing temperatures. So, I decide to take my niece to the park, since she really hasn't gotten to play outside this winter. We had a blast for the three hours we were there. I decide it's time to go, so I venture back to the bench that had my backpack on it... And it was gone. I had no clue what happened. Or who took it. All I know was that my backpack was gone. I didn't think much of it since all I had in there were some school notebooks and a couple of books. Then I realized all of my vape gear was in it. I was devastated. The worst part was, I had just stopped at a vape shop and picked up my first pack of cartomizers and a tank for them. I take my niece home, stop at the 7-11 for a pack of Marlboro 27s, go back to the house and tell aleksa what happened. She saw how devastated I was, and felt incredibly bad for me. I figured, I would just start week by week again with the $10 a week and build my way back up. So, I was in my office at home, and I get an email. It was from my wife. I open the email, and it is an order number from the provape website. I go into the bedroom and ask her what she ordered. Turns out, she decided to give me my birthday present early by buying me a provari! My birthday is not until march 24th. I asked her how she knew I wanted one? Her reply? "Well Brandon, every time I sat down on the computer, there was a YouTube video of a person reviewing the provari... And you had a tab open browsing their website...every...time"
so now, my new provari is on it's way to me and a friend donated an old protank to me. So now at least, I have something to vape! And something nice I must add! Over time, I will build my collection back up, but for now, I couldn't be happier. I have the best wife in the world, my son is to arrive any day now, and my life is Perfect. I am so excited to become a part of the provarinati, and I just felt like sharing my story with you guys. I will upload a picture when my provari gets here.
Until next time,
Brandon
