Just joined the forum, since I see this as a very valuable tool in my effort to never smoke a cigarette again. So about me: I have been a full time smoker for 40 years. For the last 20 or so, I have been smoking approximately 30-40 big fat hand rolled, non-filter cigs a day.
A friend of my wife sent her a Joyetech eGo starter kit quite a while ago and a bottle of e-juice. We both tried it and thought it was OK, but did not get serious about it. Then a couple of months ago I had a few vascular incidents with the blood supply to the retina in my right eye, causing temporary partial vision loss in that eye. That was enough to scare both of us into giving the e-cigs another, more serious try. I bought a second kit so we would both always have an e-gig ready to go.
I still smoked a few cigarettes a day at first, but kept at tapering it down, and now I have not smoked in a week and do not miss it, unless I smell smoke. My wife still smokes a few a day, but has reduced her smoking considerably. However, it seems I am still on the learning curve, which is how I ended up here.
Money is tight for us now, so cost is a major factor, but because vaping is far less expensive, that has helped keep the motivation up to stay off tobacco. I do vape very heavily; I go through 2-4 fully charged eGo batteries a day, and I am using 30 mg/ml e-juice. I will have several questions, but felt that an introduction was appropriate first, so here it is.
Thanks in advance for all of the help I am sure i will get here. And to whoever designed this website and forum structure, you are awesome. The auto-save function has already saved me from losing this post by trying to preview without being logged in.
