I d just like to introduce myself, I'm 45 yrs of age and was a smoker for 35 yrs, my vaping story started when my brother purchased a vape 4yrs ago, from then he hassled me and hassled me to try it, so anyway about 3 months ago we were walking through the local market and there was a man selling vape equipment, once again this gave my brother ammunition to preach again about the benefits of vaping, so I thought to hell with it and bought one, my first purchase was the smok osub 40, I absolutely loved it, I'm now using a little AL 85 with an I sub apex tank and I couldn't be happier, I'd tried everything to give up smoking, and had resigned myself to the fact that I'd die from a smoking related disease , suddenly I can walk more than a hundred metres with out getting breathless, I also smell a lot better aswell, so if your reading this and contemplating giving up the cancer sticks, go for it, I'm living proof that giving up smoking can be done, anyway I don't want this to turn into a novel, I just wanted people to know that there is a way out of smoking, and without trying to sound to dramatic vaping has probably saved my life

Welcome and glad you joined.
Have two members of my family that still fighting to hang on to smoking. Several years ago bought a kit for one and the other bought their own. Both tried briefly and gave up. Today gear is somewhat better and I'm gussing they just did not get the right equipment. I know your brother really tried hard with you so give him an atta boy.

Thank you for all your kind words and all the information, I'll take a bit of time looking through it this evening, and as for your family members, don't loose faith, it took me four yrs to finally see sense

Welcome to ECF!

I also thought I'd smoke til I died. Quit several times only to start again. Had pretty much given up.

I had heard about e-cigs but had no idea of the burgeoning market and advancements that had already happened 3 years ago.

So glad I eventually tried to quit one last time and found something that really works.
