The First 1,000 Days

For those of you counting, that’s exactly one-thousand days ago (in just about 40 minutes, that is). It’s also the exact time that I doused the last cigarette I ever smoked. And ever will smoke (assuming our legislators will allow for it).

(thanks for the perfect pic, KD!)

Wow. 1,000 days (smh).

So many experiences. So many devices. So many new and wonderful friendships. It has been a memorable ride for sure. And one heckuva an enjoyable one too.

I’m not going to ramble on here, as I so/too often do. Instead, I just wanted to say Thank You. Thanks all you wonderful people who have made this journey so great for me, and thanks to ECF simply for being here.

Thanks to all the fantastic vendors & Classy members I've had the pleasure of buying from and/or selling to. Thanks to the many friends I've made; some of who have simply stopped by, touching my life, and others who've stayed around to continue touching it.

So what have I learned in these 1,000 days? I've learned that it’s a very good thing to not smoke.

But to vape (ah, to vape!), particularly within this vaping community, is so immeasurably beyond “very good” that it’s difficult to find the right descriptor. The best I can do, using a word with many definitions, is:

To vape is simply delicious.

Thanks, everyone, for the “grandest” time of my life.

That's great! I'm about 1/4 or more of the way there . God willing the FDA won't dispose of our devices in such a way as to make it impossible to continue on enjoying all aspects of vaping and what it has to offer.

And THIS thought crossed my mind, DM... Yes, let us hope and let us pray.
