Whats up ECF!
Hope you all have had a great holiday season, and more recently I wish you all a very happy, peaceful and prosperous New Years!
Little back story, I unfortunately picked up the habit of smoking pretty early in my life, I was around 13-14 (I'm 20 right now) at the time and although I never really intended on putting down the analogs, I looked into vaping before accidentally stumbling upon a "cig-a-like" vendor that was only selling one brand of e-cigs. I tried out their deluxe kit, was nothing more than a hello-world step into the vaping experience.
Even though buying refill cartridges would've been cheaper than straight up analogs (at this point, $12.50+ for a pack of cigs here in NYC), the cost of $15 for 5 refilled cartos was nothing compared to the inconvenience of finding said refills and getting to them. Ordering stuff online wasn't really an option, and I heard about a local B&M store that offered pretty much everything, from eGo batteries to box mods, and upon a visit to the store I walked out with Vivi Nova and iClear 16 (later found out the Vivi Nova was a "knock-off"), and just recently picked up a Protank 2 which I still use on my eGo-C Twist.
So, all in all, yes i'm a stupid youngerster that fell into peer pressure at a young age, but as of right now I have been off analogs for 5 months straight now, and even have convinced my older cousin who has smoked 30 years now to not only look into e-cigs, but she herself is now off analogs.
I've been a forum reader of ECF for a while now, sometimes for advice on others' issues, sometimes for reviews, all in all I already love the community based around a healthier alternative and plan on being an active poster here myself.
If you've managed to read this whole post, I thank you and appreciate the time you've put in just to get to know me a little bit more!
