After three months of only vaping, it still hasn't occurred to me that I quit smoking. I haven't had, or even held, a tobacco product since I started vaping.
Today I stopped by the local liquor store to pick up a pop and some ejuice, and, as I approached the counter, the owner recognized me and went over to grab a bag of my RYO Rave tobacco. I waved him off of that task and pointed to his selection of about 20 or so different flavors of ejuice.
After I paid for my ejuice and pop, he went back to the RYO tobacco to put everything back in order.
That's when it occurred to me that something has changed. Just over three months ago, I would have bought that bag, even if I had some at home just to make sure that I never ran out.
Months ago I threw out my rolling papers, rolling machine and loose filters, all I have left from that era is a Bic lighter - I need that to oxidize kanthal wire
After three months I can:
- Bike up 1 mile long hillls.
- Taste food. Now that I can taste ale, I found out that I don't like the taste. What? No problem, lagers are still yummy.
- I've memorized Ohms law.
- Walk over 3 miles a day without effort.
- My blood sugar is now registering as normal (90) where as before I was struggling to keep it under 200. I look forward to my next A1C test.
- I've lost 5lbs...without dieting.
I've tried to quit smoking so many times, I'm having trouble believing that quitting could be so much fun.
Is this for real?

). I've had a few people call it that. I just tell them the short version of my story and hand them a card. It's encouraging to see how many smokers are interested in vaping.
