[QUOTE="jeremyvapes, post: 23648886, member: 416125"] Hi all. I'm new to the forums here, hoping to chat, learn, share, and just otherwise kill some time on occasion. Bit about me: I used to smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day. Started to feel like I was developing COPD when I started waking up literally gasping for air in the middle of the night so I did the only thing that made sense: freaked out and tried to quit cold turkey. Didn't work. Tried that a bunch of times. Never worked. I think I made it a couple of weeks or something like that once but then started smoking again. I don't remember how long I smoked for but it had to be over 10 years of my life. So when I couldn't quit cold turkey I decided to try e-cigs. I think I'd puffed them a few times when friends had them but didn't like them cause something about them really upset me when I inhaled. Coughed a lot. But this time was different. I knew I needed to quit. Absolutely had to quit. So I took it seriously and every time I wanted a cig I would step out and puff my e-cig instead. Did this for a while. It worked. Probably not much of a shock to a lot of you but I was impressed. Hell, I'm still impressed. Started with cig-a-likes but now I use disposables and refillable pods. Wish I could ditch the disposables cause they're costly and they sorta suck but they're convenient so I keep using them. I've used a bunch of different ones like Elf Bars, Puff Bars and all the other "Bars" lol. Now I use a Hyde. Does it suck? Pretty much but I like it. I also use an Xros, which is pretty great. I've used a lot of pod vapes since I got into vaping. Something about the "mods" really turns me off. They seem... big and complicated? Yeah, no thanks.
