I'm in China working on a Amazing new product that will help me realize my dream of converting every smoker from analogs to vaping.

But I need a little inspiration. Looking for some good news from my vaping Family as to how vaping has changed your life for the better.

Anyone have any good stories to share.

Keep on Vaping!

    I'll start. I started my vaping journey shortly after V4L launched. After having lurked around the ECF for several months I decided to give vaping a try. It was still fairly new in the US, and the ECF was a great resource of information. When my 1st king diamond ecig arrived, I was on my way. I was able to easily transition from analogs to vaping my first week, and have never looked back. My life changed so much when that happened! I no longer smelled bad, my house no longer smelled like cigarettes, and my dogs were overjoyed!!!!! Over the years I have moved on to bigger batteries, specifically the DAVs, which I love. Why anyone continues to smoke those stinky, cancer-causing sticks, when vaping is soooooooo much better, is beyond my understanding :confused:

    What a wonderful world it would be if we could get all smokers to vape instead :toast::vapor:

    Every year I would come down with a terrible case of bronchitis, and a cough that just wouldn't go away for months. I noticed that I could no longer reach high notes in my voice, and was developing that smokers voice. Every year it got worse and I would try to quit smoking, but never quite managed it for very long. The last time I had bronchitis I vowed to either use an e-cig or quit smoking completely. I found V4L through this forum and ordered. The first week was hard, no where near as hard as actually quitting smoking.....it was a have your cake and eat it too, thing. My cough went away and I haven't been sick with anything in over 4 years. And, my voice has returned to normal, higher pitch and all. I started with V4L and am happy to stay there.

    I watched my father die from a heart and lung failure, my mother get lung cancer and still smoke until she could barely breathe,, she passed from thyroid problems that went undiagnosed due to her more acute lung problems, and my husband get C.O.P.D., and heart problems. He passed nearly 3 years ago.. It was a no brainer. Although I smoked 2 packs a day of "low nic" cigs. It wasn't the nic that had me hooked it was the hand to mouth. I tried flavored toothpicks..I chewed them into splinters. I tried straws..also chewed up. I tried the patch, gum pill route..nightmares, rashes and upset stomach so bad we couldn't leave the house. Along came E-cigs and 3 days into them I quit smoking! The first ones were horrid, but I got 901's in a couple of days and they worked until Steve made me try a passthru. 51/2 years later cigarette free and now Nic free in my e-juices. I vape because I like the flavor and it keeps my hands busy.

    Got an idea for you Steve, My son was given a major brand E-cig at his second job as abar bouncer.He really liked them, He likes yours too but he vapes 0 nic so V4L disposables are too harsh. The major brand ones are very mild and offer carts and are rechargable. They have a recharger case. (tobacco and tobbaco menthol) for sale. So here's the idea, make low and NO nic disposables and start passing them out to the bar crowds. Get them out there! You might as well cut the major brand guys off at the knees before they up the Nic and hook the customers. Oh yeah they are small and that's the new cool. Ours have gotten so big the are hard to hide. I know you would hate to start production up on the smallest batts..but maybe that's the future.

    At the minimum Steve should consider just selling '0' and 'low' nicotine disposables.

    Totally Agree with this!!! There are a lot of people who would use these. Not everyone who vapes continues to vape; many try to cut down & down until they feel they are free of the nicotine bug. Plus it is good to have something on hand for when life hands you a hard day.

    Here's my story.

    I've been vaping nearly 4 years now. I was wheezing all the time, my husband was really worried, and I knew I didn't want to die of emphisema like my mother. In desperation I was googling alternatives to smoking and couldn't believe it when I found e-cigs. I struggled for 3 months with other brands which were very expensive and I was never satisfied, then I discovered V4L. I soon found my two favourite flavours (darn spell check, these words do have 'u' in them) and auto batteries and was 'saved'. I believe vaping has saved my life, V4L has certainly saved me a lot of money as well. I've been going through a rough 3 years, unable to work or do much with my hands, so would easily have just sat on my deck smoking. Vaping & V4L has kept me off the cigs & helped me stay sane. Thanks!

    I started using ecigs about 5 years ago found them investigating some new wonder drug to help smokers quit tried all the rest with no luck at all. I bought my first ecig an enjoy I could see the benefits of it but the hardware just plain sucked sure they had what amounted to a lifetime warranty but quickly realized I was going to spend my lifetime at the post office returning them. I found ecig forum and noticed V4L had the most visitors of any distributor so I though huh must be something to this and got my first V4L kit much much better but still not the hardware I could make the leap to quitting stinkys. Then came the Vaper Zeus man what a deal this thing kicked major ....! It was solid idiot proof and very powerful it made me not want a stinky at all! Finally I found the hardware that wouldn't let me down the strength to never buy a pack of smokes again. So thanks Steve thanks for making something I could understand and use and abuse in an industry that caters to the more technical folks.

    Thanks to you all. You guys really have made this journey worth it for me and my team.

    I was in a Vape Shop the other day -and I agree with you that it is tough to find products that appeal to people who just want to quit smoking. Everything are these overly intricate devices that are purely there for the hobbyist crowd who get caught up in the fad of the moment.

    If it keeps them off smoking - great.

    But I will continue to make products to help people quit smoking. That is my mission.

    Thanks to you all. Keep the stories coming.
