My wife had been wanting me to quit smoking for my health for quite some time. When a friend came over to my shop a few weeks ago, she had switched from smoking to vaping and recommended I try something similar to the kit she was using. I had tried nJoy's before and though I could see the possibilities, they never really did it for me and back then, I really never gave e-cigs any more consideration. Even when some folks I knew at some of the shows I do showed me their big variable voltage mods, I was never impressed with the things as I really had no clue what I was missing or what I was being shown. Anyway, I decided to buy one of the kits my friend showed me as I had seen the potential with the nJoys and really was smoking because of the addiction, not because I was having great amounts of fun doing it. So after talking with my wife and her really asking me heart to heart if I would give it a try, we decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on this and give it a try. Little did I know that a whole new world would open up to me as I switched very rapidly from smoking to vaping. I feel tons better with it only being a couple of weeks now and I still have a half-carton of analogs sitting in my freezer that I haven't touched. Now I will also admit that vaping has a huge allure for me into the gizmo side of things and now I look at the big battery mods and want one of those and two of the others and most certainly want to dive knee-deep into mech mods and go after collecting, etc... I'm looking forward to going to my first vape meet here in the Atlanta area. For me, there is most definitely a hobby growing and a huge interest in becoming more involved in and with the vaping community. Now additionally, I have decided to change more than one thing about my lifestyle and ride the train, so to speak, as far as it will go. I have started eating much healthier and have already lost several pounds in the past two weeks as I am drinking far more water and far less diet sodas. I'm eating better, sleeping better, and actively engaging my life more. Is this all because of vaping, certainly not, but if I can knock over several dominoes with one push, why not? Sometimes one needs a reason to walk forward in a direction and I have made vaping that reason for me. Now don't get me wrong, personally I believe that any time you put any chemical in your body that you really don't need to, it is less healthy for you than simply breathing good fresh air (not city smog), but vaping is most definitely healthier for me than smoking a pack a day or more. I am also not going to say vaping is the miracle end-all of life changing events in my life. Making the choice to alter my lifestyle is a decision and that decision can take shape around events and activities that one engages in. For me though, vaping was enough of a positive change in such an unusually rapidly recognizable and paradigm shift of habits that it has allowed me an excuse to exercise additional paradigm shifts in lifestyle. I think though, many folks will also agree that user mileage varies and what works for one person, may not work for another and the degree in which something proves to be effective also changes from person to person. Anyway, I'll avoid further expounding as I'm already off on tangents and such, but anyway... Happy Vaping!
Hi all just wondering why you stated vaping. Was it to help you quite smoking or was it to use as an alternative? 
). I have cut down my nic level from 24m to 12mg. I have no current plans to quit vaping. I still enjoy the act (hand to mouth), the flavors, and the inhalation/exhalation of vapor. Vaping has also become sort of a hobby for me, too.
