I have a company supplied vehicle where I work, and people aren't allowed to smoke in their company cars, so I started looking for a way to satisfy my smoking habit during drive time. Never thought it would replace that habit, but I've definitely become hooked on vaping!
Dont wanna the mouth like a ashtray anymore.
Knew about the e-cigarette several years ago,recently saw a lot ppl around using all kinds of tubes. I failed again for quitting smoking in Feb this year. Really sad!
: Since picked up the e-cig 1 month ago, I really cut down from 1.5 packs per day to less than 5 sticks. What a great achievement I have ever made. So to reward myself, within 1 month, I bought 1 iTaste MVP, 1 Vamo, 1 smok Natural, 2 RBAs and other accessories. I am happy to spend on the e-cigs rather than the make my moth smells like a ashtray... Cheers!!!

My buddy chris sells fluid and tanks, i asked about mods and he pointed me in the direction of electronicstix which the store is only 30 minutes away, so i went in, stayed for like an hour or two...tried out a few products and finally they set me up with a cylon some cartos and a tank...and i've been hooked since. Looking to explore the world of RBA's
I smoked newports for a very long time I've quit an gone back a few times my gf bought me a ego-t upgrade kit an 2 bottles of fluid an it was a wrap after that I dove in head first an it turned out gf brother is knee deep in vaping as well from there it's turned into a hobby I love it
Curiosity, I don't smoke cigarettes so its not about quitting anything. I just enjoy nicotine (snus, cigars etc.) and I like the techy aspect of vaping.
Last September my local smoke shop guy persuaded me to try an EonSmoke and a pack of 24mg tobacco flavor cartomizers when I went in to get my usual pack of American Spirit Yellows. Within two weeks I was popping off the tips and refilling the cartos with Johnson Creek juices.
I had smoked cigars on and off since I was about 19 (turned 27 yesterday). The occasional fat cigar lead to more occasional little cigars. Once I got my own house and began renovating it, I found that each "break" I took I was lighting up a little cigar. Our first is on the way, and I had been too ego driven in my mind to convince myself that once my first born arrives in 2 months, I'd quit cold turkey and be done. Thing is, I enjoy smoking, I just don't enjoy anything else about it, like the smell and after taste. My buddy decided to try an e-cig. Simultaneously I figured "why not". I now have four 808's that I enjoy frequently, along with a Vamo V2 on the way which I intend to use as a replacement of larger cigars, which would take me a full hour or two to burn through. That way I'm not switching out batteries and cartos all the time and simply refilling the tank and charging once a day at most. So I have my on-the-go tool and my extended-relaxation tool. Good combo me thinks.
I had tried the old school imitation cigs a few years ago as well, and gave it up in frustration. It wasn't until a local vape store opened up and my husband wandered in and got us both an eGo twist a couple months ago that I even knew that a GOOD vaping experience was to be had. The rest is history. No analogs in 5 weeks now, and I have a Provari mini on the way.
Heh, what got me started was I was buying my usual carton and saw a Blu disposable and got one. Just for the heck of it. To see what this "e-cig" thing was all about. Fiddled with the funny widget on the way home, found I kinda liked the taste.
Somewhere in there, after getting home, I got distracted. Left the cigs in the living room when I went to the computer. Had the Blu thing with me and kept "smoking" it. About 8:30 in the evening, wrapped up whatever I was doing at the time on the computer, went into the living room, plopped down on the couch, reached for the cigs, lit up... and froze.
Could not remember carrying the pack and lighter back into the living room with me. Could not remember having taken the pack and lighter to the computer with me. Got up, went to pull out the receipt and just sort of stared at it. Because I had forgotten, flat freaking forgotten, to light up a cigarette for nine hours.
Not couldn't. Not "will power". Not anything but forgot. Just slipped my mind.
Never opened that carton.
Still get a little weirded out by the whole thing. Forgot to smoke. Me. Forgot.
Weird.

I got started after talking with a radio dj during one of the events my sis was helping out at.
I had gone over to join the "smokers crowd" and the dj came up to join us, only he was vaping! We started talking and I really liked what he had to say so that night I sat up till around midnight researching more online.

The owner of the B&M tobacco shop where I usually got my analogs is the one that can really take the credit for getting me off analogs and into vaping. I just cannot credit the first attempt with a spontaneous buy of a convenience store disposible that I went for cause of the nice display and cardboard cutout advertisement that peaked my curiosity - because those e-cigs not only drove me back to analogs but to thinking e-cigs were not an alternative and did not really work.
a co-worker showed me his e-cig back in 2008 I ordered one from china it was bad I only used it a few times. in 2009 I got laid off from that company. in 2010 I looked into e-cigs again saw that things had changed and stopped smoking. In 2012 that company offered me my job back and that same co-worker is still there and still smoking I thanked him for turning me on to e-cigs and showed him my provari he was impressed but not enough to make the switch.
My best friend came across the ciggalikes, I thought I'd give it ago, and then found a vaping forum, and found out about ego's and mods, I was hooked!! LOL!
I smoked at least a pack a day, full flavor menthol, for twelve years. One day at a job(I clean carpets) I saw the resident was vaping so I asked about it. She had a 510 cart and atty on an ego batt, she offered to let me try it and I was sold. That night I ordered one from the site she gave me. It showed up on 1/22/13, I have had half a cigarette since then. I have also managed to convert twelve of the fourteen people I work with. I really feel like that woman saved my life. After trying everything else I figured I would smoke until it killed me. Vaping is amazing!!
My doctor when he told me he'd be cutting my right leg off at.the knee, within three years, if I didn't stop smoking.
That was 18 months ago and, amazingly, my circulation has improved dramatically since. Who knew.

I'm just about to convert in a couple of weeks, mainly because regular cigs are bad and I know it. When I first started noticing e-cigs was when I was traveling to Malaysia and I have seen many people with it. Did not know what it was at all!! Vaping is illegal in Taiwan (where I live now), no wonder I have not seen it before. So I have decided to try it out!
I read an article on e-cigs on io9 and decided to do some research. I had been smoking a pack or two day for 20 years and wanted to quit but cold turkey never worked and I wasn't about to go on pills that make you feel terrible etc. So I ordered a starter kit and quit smoking for good that morning. 112 days ago now.
