I started smoking back when I was about 15 , wasnt ever really a heavy smoker, last winter a buddy of mine started singing the praises of how much he loved his ecig and that I should really give it a try cus he thought Id dig it, at the time, I was a consistent half a pack a day smoker ( usually between 5 - 7 smokes unless I was out drinking / playing pool ) and on the fence on whether or not I wanted to quit, I would go from one or 2 smokes a day to 10, or getting tired of the whole smoking thing and getting rid of my cigarettes then bumming smokes from coworkers or friends, that combined with having to bundle up to go outside to smoke ( we have kids and an ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING rule inside ) it was just becoming exhausting....
So one winter weekend I was down at the bar having a beer enjoying a game of pool, the bartender had one of those 10.00 disposables and being as how I only had one cigarette left in my pack and really didnt want to bundle up to go outside to not even enjoy my cigarette because I would be freezing, I gave the ecig a try, and it satisfied my craving and I was impressed, so impressed I purchased a disposable and used it the entire weekend , I went through 2 disposable smokes and a couple more analogs I ordered up my first 510 kit...
I vaped full on from February until the end of July when some life stuff happened and the slim batteries were starting to just be irritating ... I went back to smoking , but even when I was smoking I really missed vaping and didnt really like myself smoking so I was able to order a new rig ( EGO ) over the holidays, and have been vaping ever since, in fact it seems like I have been at it longer but its only really been about 10 weeks completely off analogs.
Im a fairly picky juice person as well it turns out, 18mg seems to be my preferred strength right now, and that 5 hurricane sounds pretty awesome.
