Hiya ECF!
I've been creepin your forum for about a month and a half now, so I figure it's about time to introduce myself and jump into the action!
My name is Holly, I'm 28 and living in Alberta Canada. I started smoking analogs at age 10 and had a habit going by 13. Almost everyone in my immediate family smokes/smoked. My grandmother died from lung cancer and although my father had begun to develop lung cancer as well, which he later beat, he ended ended up kicking the bucket as a result of a blood clot issue, which could have also been related to smoking...
The way I saw it was if I wanted to see my nieces and nephew grow up I'd better kick the nasty habit before it kicks me. After numerous attemps at quitting the coffin nails cold turkey I came across ecigs early this December. THANK GOD.
After what I *thought* was a lot of research I ordered myself a SafeCig starter kit from the folks down south. At this point I hadn't found this forum and didn't realize what a hassle it is to get this stuff into Canada from another country, nor did I have any idea just how many different kinds of ecigs were out there to choose from.
Worrying that I wouldn't be able to get my SafeCig stuff past the border everytime, and knowing that there was a possibility of having to use analogs while waiting on an order from the US I promptly visited the Candian Suppliers forum and found a treasure trove of sites to choose from.
I ended up settling on a 510 EV Custom Kit and some other goodies from electro vapors, and I have to say I'm generally quite happy with it so far. At first I thought I might feel a bit silly smoking from somthing so fancy looking - with a blue LED, shiny titanium and all - but as it turns out I seem to really enjoy the personalization side of vaping. It's almost as if this has become a new lifestyle - a hobby even. Sometimes I find that even just the fiddling with the carts and cartos can keep my mind off analogs.
As of today I have been a non-smoker for 1 month, 1 week and 5 days. Incredible. It's remarkable how much healthier I feel already... how much better things smell and taste. Living in Canada, I think the best perk to quitting smoking so far has been the rise in body tempuarture! Staying warm in chilly weather is just that much easier now!
I've got a ton of questions but I think I'll save them for a different thread and leave this one as my little indroduction.
Looking forward to learning the ropes from a great community!
See ya around,
