So, the title kinda explained it all, so where to go but say Hello!
I've been hanging around this forum for a while, I like what I see and I've based several of my purchases on reviews and recommendations in these threads, and I haven't been let down yet, so I figure I'll become a member for real.
The first time I tried vaping, it was about a year and a half ago. Prefilled cartos, a cig-a-like thing, PCC, the whole nine. The activity of it was great, but lackluster flavor and subpar performance chased me back to analogs (that, and I didn't like the whole prefilled carto thing, but wasn't smart enough to buy my own liquid and cartos. Oh well). I stayed with analogs until the turn of the year, when I made a New Year's Resolution to really get into vaping. Through my wife and sister in law I heard of a vapor shop (brick and mortar, even) that would be more than happy to help me get started. I really wanted to quit analogs but didn't trust myself to give up the habit: the throat hit, the pinch, the smoke/vapor, so vaping appealed to me. Also, I was looking for a way to stop the impairment of my cardiovascular system(the military kinda likes you to stay fit).
One problem: my wife didn't want to quit yet.
So, I explained to her what I was wanting to do, understood that it would be difficult to quit if she was going to be smoking analogs around me, so she went in with me to All About Vapor in Austin, TX. From the first hit from their tester it was great. Right then and there I bought us a starter kit of eGo-C Upgrades and we each got a 30ml bottle of juice. Kinda pricey right up front, but I thought of the money I would be saving. Man, was I wrong. I can't keep away from ordering new flavors now. The sheer variety available to me is astounding. I love it!
But still, the feel of analogs had me for a little. I cut back to no more than 2 analogs a day, but I was still ashamed whenever I would head out to the balcony to light one up. I hated how I smelled like smoke after, food/drink would taste nasty, and I would still cough junk up in the morning.
That ends today. I just spent half my lunch break throwing away all my analogs, and they're in the dumpster wasting away now. I'm in, all in. And it's thanks to you guys.
As a birthday present to myself, I ordered some Smoktech DCTs and a Joyetech eVic. The eVic has yet to arrive, so right now I'm on an eGo Twist, but the DCT is wonderful. I should be able to quit for good from here.
Long post, I know, but I'm just so happy that I was a smoker at 18, ashamed at 21(22 this Friday) and now a remade vaper. Not looking for 100% cessation, but Risk/Harm reduction. I couldn't be happier.
Stay Safe, Enjoy Life, and Vape On!
