I smoked a pack and half a day (more on weekends) for 40 years. Wow, it was getting expensive. I went through a carton every 5 days or so. It was close to $60 a carton. $360 a month, up in smoke, literally. It was over 5 years ago when I started hearing about these new fangled electronic cigarettes. Did a bunch of online research and ordered an EGO kit and some juice.
I remember the day it arrived. July 22, 2010. Two 600Ma batteries, a few atomizers and tips. Charged them up, added juice, and started
vaping. That was my last day on cigarettes. Haven't had one since. Of course, I have upgraded to 1100Ma batteries, and progressed to DCT tanks and 1.7 ohm prepunched cartos, but I'm still using the EGO style batteries. Tried a few of the early mods, like the Rough Stack and the Bolt, but the switches always failed.
Seems like now, the government is trying to get me to switch back to cigarettes by banning online sales and taxing and regulating e-cig products and juice.
Sigh, what am I going to do with my Uncle Sam. He should be in a rest home, LOL. He's not thinking straight. Alzheimer's or something.
