Last week i decided to snoop around online to "try" an e-cig because it was something I always wanted to try. I knew of the companies like Blu, and a few others, so those were my first destinations. Googling "Best e-cig" yielded mass amounts of information, and flood of advertisements. Still confused on what to buy, I stumbled upon this forum. At first I just browsed around the New Member forum trying to decrypt the mass amounts of information. Terms like "Kgo, eGo, V1, V1, Attys, Atomizers, Cartos, e-juice, PG/VG, TH" confused the hell out of me. "What the HELL are these people taking about!" was my first impression. What does this all mean! I just wanted to try a damn e-cig to see if I even like the dang things hahaha. But here I was trying to understand all this confusing lingo I had absolutely no clue what it all ment. "Don't you just buy a simple kit, plug it in, and go?" That's what I thought initially.
Turned out there's a lot more to it than I ever realized. After spending an entire day talking with a lot of you I started to catch on. So many of you were very helpful, and this extremely helped with not getting scared off by all the information. Turns out, it is really simple, but it was just a world I had no clue about.
After much debate in my head, I went ahead and ordered up the Kgo kit. I continued to read these forums on a daily basis continuing to educate myself on this world of "vaping". The kit showed up Friday morning, and then my juice showed up a day after. Fill it up, and I was ready to go! Took my first draw, and was amazed. It was everything I though it was going to be, and more!
I stopped smoking that last Saturday morning, and have not looked back. The first few days I found myself mentally craving to go outside, and light up. I was not itching to do so, but the mental habit still lingered. That only last the first few days, and it was in/out of my head within minutes. It's been a week now, and the urge has completely vanished. I never really liked smoking to be honest. I was addicted to the nicotine, and still am. But the smell, taste, chemicals, tar, stains smoking leaves always disgusting to me. I was a smoker who hated to smoke.
So whats the consensus of all of this? My thanks to everyone here! By being patient, doing some research, listening to you all, and not jumping the gun most likely allowed this to be an enjoyable experience. I think if I had just impulsed bought the first starter kit out there, I probably wouldn't have stuck to vaping. It may have turned me off to it all. One of my first e-juices I bought was a tobacco flavor. I vaped it once, and have not used it again. With all the outstanding flavors available, why use tobacco flavor? I did that for YEARS! Inhaling 1000's of chemicals filled by burning tar vs. Inhaling bakery fresh Apple Pie - HANDS DOWN vaping WINS! BAR NON! Not to mentioned the price difference!
I used to be embarrassed that I smoked. I hated being somewhere and having to say "Excuse me while I go outside". With Vaping that embarrassment does not exist. Still, I think some people don't grasp the ideal of this, but that's just because they are uneducated to it. I'm proud to be a vaper now, and it was soooooooo easy to switch. To be honest, I had no clue how EASY quitting smoking would be. Amazing...
