Hello!
I remember seeing my first e-cigarette about two years ago, but never really thinking about using it since that point. I never see them around where I live. Last night, whilst browsing Reddit, I found a post that seriously made me grimace. A man who smoked two packs a day in front of his computer brought in his machine for repair and they found this when they opened it up.
Now I've never smoked a TON, about two packs a week is my general tendency. When I'm out drinking, sometimes I'll go through a whole pack though and my body will feel like .... the next day from all the chemicals my body is infested with. Smoking in general just doesn't make me feel great, and why not right? I mostly do it out of habit, of course, and rationalize it a bit by saying I can be social with the other smokers while doing it. A meager excuse.
I also told myself I'd stop smoking when I found the right girl for me. I think I have. We've been together for six months. She's an extremely independent girl, and doesn't ever want to impose ideas on somebody else. She does, however, care about my health and has asked me subtly when I would plan to stop smoking and why I haven't already. I think she deserves my quitting as well.
That post of the guy's heatsink was my final breaking point. I realized that what I was putting in my body was going to kill me without a doubt. Now of course I'd been told this many times before and didn't think myself to be some kind of exception, but I just never really cared that much. I've been smoking since I was 18, 24 now. I told myself, well hey it's okay, I've only been smoking two years, four years, six years ... the excuses went on. Clearly I'm on the wrong track and I'd like to be healthy again. I bicycle everywhere I go because I don't have a car. I'd imagine switching to an e-cigarette would help me enormously.
After reading a lot of material on r/electronic_cigarette, I made the decision to go with what seems like a pretty standard popular choice, the regular little DSE eGo, along with four flavors (all 10 ml, 2 sweet carolina, 2 clove, chocolate, menthol), some cartomizers, and a drip tip.
Do I know how to use any of this .... yet? Not really. I have a vague idea though. I'm still waiting for the stuff to get in. Hopefully it'll be by Friday or so though! I'll update you guys then, but for now, I'm extremely excited to get into vaping and enjoy my lungs at their full capacity again! I'll be lurking a bit around here in the meantime!
