Well guys, great, super great, wonderful great new a'comin in this thread.
Some of you know I was diagnosed with early stages of COPD at the age of 38, a little over 5 weeks ago. I was a 2 pack a day smoker and my cig was good ole Marlboro Reds.
It scared me. I knew something was wrong because I had a chronic cough (I seriously coughed ALL THE TIME), which gave me secondary problems (hello, poise pads) and I was short of breath just walking room to room. The effort of getting out of bed even had me winded. It was getting bad, and getting worse by the minute. Like I said, I was scared.
Hubs and I made a quitting date and I picked up a gas station e-cig. They were about as expensive as smoking was. Then I looked around and found a mod online and had it overnighted with some other juices that the website sold. And I bought about a million juices to try it in. I tried the juices all in one week. I wasn't satisfied. I had smokers tongue and I couldn't taste half of them. I found this board and started complaining about dead taste buds and how I missed smoking so much. A nice man told me about Nicoticket's Grandma's Cinnamon Danish and how it helped awaken his taste buds. I went to NT's site and looked at all their flavors. The Virus sounded interesting, so I bought 15ml's of both GCD and Virus.
A few days passed and I said "Screw it, I am going to smoke" because I wasn't feeling any better. I hadn't given my lungs a chance to really heal yet (this was not yet a week now). My mailbox is about 600 ft. away, so I went to check the mail in my car (because I still couldn't walk down my driveway without getting out of breath) and the purple package was there. Instead of driving to the gas station, I drove back up my driveway and opened it to the contents of Nicoticket's juice. For some reason I chose The Virus first.
I loved it. I got it 18mg and I was afraid of the mg's being 18 since I was already at a 24mg in the other juices. I vaped it and it was so good. I vaped it again, and again, and again. The temptation to buy a pack of smokes left me. I finally felt content. Later that day, I ordered even more juice from Nicoticket. GCD was so delicious I had to have more. (And it brought those dead taste buds back to life, like the man on these boards promised)
I've been with NT since. And I found this board soon after.
This is a long story and I didn't mean for it to be, but there is a point to all this bantering.
I went to my pulmonologist this morning and did they did a repeat of my initial pulmonary function test. I was also prescribed different inhalers, so they wanted to see if they were effective.
My pulmonary function has improved to 65%!!!
He (my doctor) asked what I was doing because he had rarely seen someone improve in such a small amount of time. I told him about vaping and about Nicoticket's e-juices. I told him about the PG and VG. I told him Clark was about as natural as you can get when it comes to e-juices. I handed him Clark's card (I carry some around if I see other vapers out there).
He said, "Keep on doing what you're doing because it's obviously working (!!!)" He said he would look into research about vaping.
I don't have to see him for 9 more months!!!
This went to an every month thing down to every 9 months!!! He said he would reevaluate me then and see how I'm doing and maybe we can bump it down even more to once a year!!!
I am so, so happy. And, I've lost 10 pounds!!! Instead of eating to compensate for not smoking cigarettes, I'm vaping instead. Another bonus.
I just wanted to share my incredible news with everyone!!!
Clark, don't be surprised if a pulmonologist from OSU calls you and asks about your products.
Love you all!!!
