I began my ecig research several months ago. I found ecf and had everything I ever needed by way of info.
I read here constantly, both the pros, and the downside, (the inevitable equipment failures, and maintenance,allergy related health issues, start-up cost ect...). I like to do my homework, before I make a commitment. I was IN. All the way. (I hoped the other smokers, in the house, would follow suit, once I quit analogs. We don't have the $$ for three smokers here). So I just took all my cigg money for the upcoming weeks, and made my first purchase.
Here's what happened. My Riva kit +e-juice arrived. I was thrilled with it. I quit analogs that same day, (See my first post; Smoker One Day, Non Smoker The Next. Now that's AMAZING!). The other analog smokers in the house were MORE than a little intrigued, at this. (They know how I am without my ciggaretts lol!). Thing is, I was hoping they would try mine, and be inspired to get themselves a starter set. But that's not how it went down...They wanted to share...o.0 yup, all three of us fairly heavy smokers, using one Riva starter set.
That is, until my Dad asked me for one of the atties and batts, for just himself... Suddenly I felt like I was trying to share my oxigen mask, with the whole plane!! ( it was getting hard to breath!). I mentioned that we should prolly grab another kit, (or TWO!), but they were'nt ready to jump THAT far in. huh?
The atty on one of the Rivas started dying, (my "Dads" and he was looking at me like I was Judas, had sold him a bill of goods, or something! ) Not Good! I was loving this whole "not a smoker" thing... I knew I had to save myself from going back to analogs!!
Just in the nic, I saw a beautiful little starter kit on the ecf classifieds! Truly a Chick Stic, If their ever was one, and I knew my Christmas present to me, when I saw it. BUT...having just bought all that other stuff, I couldn't afford The asking price. Sooooooo I Pm'ed the lady and she agreed to a somewhat lesser price, I COULD afford! I was beyond happy. (She said she would ship it tomorrow, which is actually today.).
So I get off the subway last night, grab a bite to eat, (and my remaining Riva...), and decide to send the pay-pal right then,so she would have it in the morning, for sure. I reach in my purse for my wallet, and IT'S NOT IN THERE!! NOOOoooooooooo W.A.Y.!
I looked everywhere! Ok, I tore my home apart, actually... I am so heart broken to have to go back on my word! My first transaction with an ecf friend and I can't keep my end of the deal!! I am still up at the ungodly hour of 4:00am trying to compose my pm, to said friend, I have to, "tell it like it is", But I feel like a jerk. Plus, I would like to ask her to give me a couple days to recoup, and still sell it to me, cause I really do love it. ~sigh~ But I have to respect that she may need sell it quickly and re post it.
I was off too such a good start, I can't believe this... Everyone have a couple extra Pulls off your PV's for me, and wish me luck!
