Hello All,
I stumbled upon this site doing research about e-cigs (imagine that...)
I'm 33 years old now and was a pack a day smoker since I was 16. After hearing the success stories of a few friends who were able to quit using e-cigs (and the deaths of several relatives to cancer), I decided to give it a try.
Started out with a cheap starter kit that broke on the second day. Then, I went to a store that had good reviews online and they set me up with the KangerTech EVOD BCC starter kit. That kit has performed much better. It has definitely been an adjustment, but I'm glad that I've stuck with it. I've still been smoking analogs, but the amount has decreased to 1 - 3 per day. Yesterday I only had one (today also).
Other than the obvious reason being that these seem to be a lot healthier than analogs, I also switched for the convenience of being able to use them almost anywhere. I travel extensively for work and that is probably a worst case scenario for a smoker. You can't smoke in many airports nowadays and if you are ever able to find a smoking room in a hotel, it is most likely a rundown room with a double bed. And don't even think about it in a rental car.
Having traveled the last two weeks, I can't even explain how much stress vaping has relieved in my life. Instead of standing outside at the airport chain smoking until I'm dizzy, I can sit there and vape inside at my leisure. I still try to keep it pretty incognito as I don't want to be the one responsible for it getting banned. Also, my coworkers have been very receptive of me vaping in the company vehicles, where smoking was not allowed.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Thanks for having me. I hope to continue learning a lot from this community and hope that I can contribute as well.
Cheers,
TM
