One year ago today I smoked my last cigarette. I had been a 1.5+ PAD smoker for over 20 years. I tried everything to quit; gum, cold turkey, patch, chantix (twice)..Just couldn't stick it out. The longest I could ever stay quit was 2 weeks. Then on July 6 of last year I was hanging on the beach at Dauphin Island and kept noticing this guy in a cowboy hat hitting (what I know now was) a box mod. He came over and explained what it was to the 4 of us and mentioned some web sites, including ECF, and vendors. We all listened politely but skeptically. Over the next several weeks I became intrigued. Two weeks later I ordered my first kit (standard 510). Then I found the wonderful community here at ECF. Two weeks after that I ordered my second. Less than 2 months later I had put down a 20 year habit. I feel so much better. I don't hack up a lung in the morning. I can smell now. I put on 20 lbs. because everything tastes so much better
. I lost 10+ of it because I've started running. I've since converted 2 to vaping, though neither have completely given up the stinkies. I'm helping a 3rd pick out gear today.
I don't know if I'll ever find you, but to the cowboy hat wearing, box mod vaping dude that I met on Dauphin Island last July...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!
