my vape story how about yours?? tell the world everybody

[valooper]

So here is my little story.....coming at ya!!

so I was always interested in e cig and I stopped by the local gas station and picked up the blu e cigs I was so excited man I am going to quite smoking fairy dust is going to fall fron the heavens, I will climb a mountain, run for 6 hrs straight , and eat cheese cake for breakfast lunch and dinner cause I dont care I am health now.......... but turns out blu e cigs are and un holy piece of crap!!!
I got discouraged because there was no vapor, no taste, and oh yeah I could suck a battery down faster than you could drive through cut and shoot, tx during rush hour!!!


So I sadly started to smoke again and used my blu e cig fabulous plastic box as a quite useful paper weight.....does this quite well no complaints!!


Then the heavens opened up once again and I saw some joe blow smoking on this metal stick with juice inside I thought oh thats not bad whats is that is it expensive it looks expensive where do I get those and do I need 2 masters and a bachelors degree to operate that piece of chrome hardened sci fi hardware????


So I continued to smoke for the next 6 months......trying to apply for college
all the while I am up to 2 packs a day whohoo!!!


Then I am walking around a store and I see them in a glass class with fancy ... leds and lil name tags.......aww cute!! So I decided to let the bank roll start doing the talking and purchased a starter kit with the kanger mini protank 2 and a rev smoov battery......but wait what is this I have to choose 2 liquids out of about oh a billion and a half different kinds?........told the clerk I am gunna need a chair, coke , and a smile cause where gunna be hear awhile!!


I finally settled on monster energy drink and god awful vanilla (yes it should of said that on the bottle)...........umm well cause would you know it at this place we are not allowed to test the flavors cause there super secret government conspiracy flavors.....turns out!! But hey who doesnt like monster and if you dont like vanilla ice cream then let the shooting begin!!


So I took my lil baggie full of goodies and laid everything out on my table/lab bench and while snapping a few selfies soon came to realize this was fun it was like my own mini biochemical engineered drug lab and oh boy was I about to make it rain on these little tanks and liquid........juuusss as soon as I figure out how to get the damn liquid actually in the tank.......curiously if you put it down the hole in the center......ehh makes a huge mess!!! So after digging through the garbage for the instructions(cause real men dont need those right?) I was finally ready to commence operation vape!! ........back me up on this Houston


I took a drag and was thrilled it actually tasted like a monster!!.....or maybe thats because I was drinking one at the same time......but you get it.....dooh!! There was plumes of vapor and I felt like a real badass and after I burned and buried the vanilla in a 100ft hole in my back yard I was hooked!!


I proceeded to jump on the www and order oh about 300 worth of other cool stuff with really doing no research.......but it looks cool.....whats the problem?
And I have been stopping at every vape shop across the country that I can find and buying up everything I can see fit my latest joy is areo tanks and handmade ultra premium juices


oh and guess what I have not smoked sense I have started vaping even in times of ripp your heart out put in in a doggie bag and hand it back to you times of stress


so I would say that although I am not seeing the cost savings of it as of yet due to me having enough juice to kill all of africa the benefits of not smoking are out weighing that tremendously so I am satisfied and if your thinking about vaping then do it and do it until you find something that works for you go to a respectable vape shop and get some info and vape on the nic until you can eventually get off the nic as is my galourous fabulous plan




so in conclusion I am getting into I guess idk advanced vaping.....whatever the hell that means.......maybe I will vape 2 mods at once..... idk I am crazy like that!!! I am going to do diy liquid and get into rebuildables with some strives to produce my own tanks and drip tips with help of my mini cnc lathe




so thats my lil story
keep vapin and be health huh!!

Being 67 years young, here's my lil' story fer ya'll:

Started smoking full time as an 18 y.o. in basic training ('65)... mostly 1.5 to 2+ PaDs ever since.

Eighteen years ago I quit cold turkey by my own choosing. Day-um, I was miserable. After four weeks I told my bride that I was thinking about starting smoking again. She encouraged, "Give it a while longer." Well, six weeks later, after gaining 27 pounds and making life miserable for everyone around me; family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances AND strangers, I told my bride that I was gonna start smoking again. Her response, "Please do!"

My three daughters, young teens at that time, have since then told me that those ten weeks were the worst in their lives. WHOA! Well, I knew I HAD to quit but didn't want to put anyone through my misery again. HOT DAY-UM, found the ECF site and made a few well informed purchases, thanx to the wonderful folk there. The eGo batt and eGo Mega dual coil cartomizers did the job. Granted, I’m beyond the eGo combo, but that’s ‘nother story!

Here I am after 46 years of my ol' smoking habit, 39 months in on a freakin' fantastic journey; tobacco free, no stomped kittens, no road rage AND no being a b*tch with balls! And I'm one of the lucky vapers in that my first vape was the absolute end to my 'bakky habit.

As for my e-cig health benefits:
- Lower blood pressure - 15 pt drop in both sys & dia
- Higher O2 absorption - 92% to 99%
- 'Clean' chest x-ray after a past indication of emphysema
- Healthier gums/whiter teeth - as per dentist
- No more nose soot/lung wads in the AM
- No longer having the occasional mild night time anxiety episode due to breathing difficulties
- No mo’ colds. Used to get 'em at least once with a year that hung on with major coughing and chest congestion. Last year I had a runny nose for three days... no cold. Prior to vaping, that would have developed into a major chest cold.
- Higher sensitivity to the salt in processed foods. And to think I would add salt in my 'bakky days.
- Higher IQ - hey, I did quit smoking!

As for a possible e-cig liquid 'black market' due to legislation and/or taxation, count me in. I'll proudly be an integral part of it. Yes, I DIY!

Well I am at 18mg on my crappy juices and 16mg on my better juices??

You might have to try 24mg juices when you've just recently started to quit, especially if you we're a big smoker!

Kinda like this:
24mg: 1 or 2 pad / reds
18mg: 1 pad / reds
12mg: half pad / lights
6mg: Barely anything at all.

Also with vaping you absorb less nicotine than with a regular smoke.
There was a test somewhere that proved that 30mins of vaping equaled 1 cigarette in 5 mins.
However i don't remember at what mg nicotine this was meassured with or with which vaping device.
Better tanks / mods / batteries tend to deliver the nicotine more efficently.

Personally i was 1 1/2 pad and started with 24mg, then slowed down to 18mg. And now trying to go down to 12mg. I'm using kayfun or dripper so it's kinda easy due my 12mg feels like 18mgs.
