I started smoking at 13 and thought I would NEVER quit. I actually had myself convinced that if I ever really did manage to quit it would only be temporary, as soon as I hit 80 I was gonna go back to smoking. That made it easier to even think about quitting. I smoked for 36 years except for the times I carried Thing #1 and Thing #2, who are beautiful, healthy, smart, obnoxious teenagers.
What motivated me to try e-cigs was that my daughter was about to go away to college, and I couldn't rationalize spending $8.28 a day for a pack of cigarettes. It was insane. Fortunately an e-cig store opened in my town, and they had purple 901 kits. It was ok, it got me off analogs...but I had found this forum and the more I read, the more I wanted an eGo. So I got a kit, ordered a purple battery and cone, and was a completely happy camper. Why would anyone want more than this? Battery lasts all day, it is consistent, where the 901 battery gets increasingly weaker until it dies, the 510 whistle-tip carts made me happy...but I had found this forum and the more I read, the more I wanted a stainless steel drip tip. So I ordered two, and after a lot of trial and error and juice running all over the place, I finally got the hang of dripping. I felt like I had found a golden ticket and was following Willie Wonka into the factory. Not only could I smell, my taste buds that had been hiding from all that tobacco smoke were now able to taste the subtle yummy flavor of my new favorite juice, Velvet Vapors Bear Claw that was a free sample in the order recently received. Why would anyone want more than this? The flavor is clear, there's no messy cartridges and filler and washing, I could sit down and try the 20 flavors that I just bought from the classifieds...but I had found this forum, and although dripping was way better than using carts, you can't really drip and drive, especially a five speed...and I knew from this forum that Super T Manufacturing had just started selling a juice feeder....wait, what's a box mod...oh, this Saber Touch thing in the classifieds is PURPLE, has my name on it...my head is spinning, must be the 6v vape!!!
The funny thing is, I've done the math, and I'm still saving money compared to what I spent on cigarettes. And I feel better, I don't stink, I haven't coughed in months, I discovered that ash trays really are gross, and so is kissing your husband that still smokes.
When I think about how my life used to revolve around making sure I had smokes, a lighter in every room (even though I didn't smoke in the house) and two in the car, and scoping out where I could go out to grab a smoke whenever I arrived at a new place, I am thankful that I found vaping, and the wonderful people who make this forum so informative, interesting, and fun!
Cheers!!!
