Hey! New vaper here. Well actually I've been vaping since September 2014 but I guess it's still considered new 
I've been lurking around searching for information, and always get directed to this forum. Great site with a lot of information!
Initially the plan was to stop smoking, I lost count at the number of attempts, and I managed about 5 months but I relapsed and that's when I decided to try vaping. It was quite intimidating at first with all the foreign terms and numbers. Attys, clearos, voltages, wattages etc... So I went to a local store and they were really helpful to point me in the right direction. I got me a starter kit and it really changed my life. I still smoked cigarettes every now and then when I first started but now, I can actually say no when someone offers me a cig, and that's a huge improvement! Though I did sneak in a couple of cigs during NYE.... but those few cigs made me realised that vaping is wayyyyy nicer than smoking
I've been rolling cigs for as long as I can remember so buildilng coils really appealed to me. What was supposed to be a trip to only buy an ohm meter and some coils, ended up with a new mod, an RBA and coils... So much for not spending too much on vaping heh... At least from here on I'll only be spending money to buy the coils, wicks and juice which is definitely cheaper than cigs! Hopefully I don't get too much into it and keep on wanting to upgrade..
Health improvements.. I've always been quite active even while smoking heavily so I can't really see the difference but one thing for sure, I don't feel phlegmy these days. I'm not a foodie (to me, food is just something necessary to stay alive and get on with the day) so I can't really say for sure if my sense of taste has improved but I think my sense smell has improved.
Overall, it's been a positive change in life. I'm not one to start preaching to my friends but if they start the topic, I'll do my best to convince them to make the switch.
