A few weeks ago, my wife came home with a disposable e cig she picked up at the local corner store, I had tried one a few years ago, and was displeased with the taste, and never gave them another thought. So I try this one, just a few puffs, and had to admit, it wasn't that bad.

So the next day, I pick another up when I went to get a pack of my regulars of many years, again not bad, but did not last very long, but it did intreage enough to do some research, which led me to this site. After several hrs. of browsing, I decided to look up a local store in my area and go see for myself if this would be something for me.

I had one cigarette left in my pack with the intention of stopping to get another after checking the store out. I finish my last smoke pulling into the parking lot of the small shop. Walking in, the place was packed, as I waited by the counter, checking out what was alien to me devices, I was asked "what can I help you with today"? I told him I was a newbie to all this, and he responded with a big smile, "I love newbies".

He was very eager to answer all my questions, recommend a few starter kits, and the let me try as many flavored juices I could handle, ( they had over 60, but I was able to narrow down a few after about 10 ).

I purchased a kit, filled it with my favorite flavor, and I headed home, not stopping to pick up a pack of smokes....I have not smoked a regular cig in three days. Very pleased.

Funny thing...this all kind of fell into my lap, I was not giving any thought to stop smoking or looking into an alternative, or even cutting back. Was not really even aware of vaping, other than walking by a few kiosk selling e cigs without giving any attention.

But man oh man, am I glad I have been shown the light...this forum rocks, I have learned so much.
