    Same here. They had raised the sin tax another dollar and just started vaping to cut back on smokes. MTL just frustrated me and was about to give up on vaping when I came across a review on the Kanger Subtank Mini. Was down to a few cigs a day within a week. Last 2 months before I quit smoking I usually only had the feet hit the floor morning cig.
    I was the same. I only intended to cut down on the cigs by vaping. It got to the point that i had a smoke first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Did this for about a week till i found that i didnt like smoking anymore. Not had one since.

    I started vaping December 2, 2017 only 5 days before my 60 th birthday. Most people I see vaping appear to be somewhere in age between 25 and 40. I'm about the oldest person I see vaping out on the street. I see older people sucking on ecigs like one purchases at convenience stores. But I actually vape. I own several smok v8 sticks and and Innokin MVP4 box mod. I have totally embraced the hobby. I have 20+ flavors of juice, nic levels 0 and 3. I'm saving money so I can get a more sofisticated mod with replaceable batteries. woo hoo This is my question--tell us about your self or your "old" friends who are vapers. BTW please tell the FDA and all those European agencies that I love sweet, candy and dessert flavors. Thank you.
    PS my last cigarette was December 12. I had to use up my last pack.
    There are a LOT of old folks on ECF. I'm 61, will be 62 in October. I started vaping in 2011. The only people I know in person that vape are over 55. Obviously, I don't hang around vape shops.
    I never dreamed that i would ever stop smoking. Soooooooooooooo glad i did and went to vaping
    Me too. It's a miracle!

    When I was very young about 12, the store would sell us 3 cigarettes for 5 cents. They didn't care how old we were. This was about 1957/1958, things were different then.
    Yes, i remember those days lol. The world has gone mad for correctness now

    Pushing 66 yoa, started smoking a couple months before my 18th b-day, after starting my 1st attempt at college. Been trying to switch to vaping, off-and-on, for the past 5 years. I'm thinking that NOW, going MTL with WTA, this might do the trick. Otherwise...

    Yes, things have changed. Back around 1966, I was in high school and had a pack of cigarettes in my shirt pocket. The assistant principal asked me about it and I told him that I had permission to smoke, from my parents (I did). That was the end of that conversation.
