hey Arkangel! I'm also in SA, TX. just curious, what vape shops do you frequent? any that you feel are better then the rest? any secret gems around town that you know of?

Not many with good selections,

VapeDynasty off Fredericksburg just inside 410 has some really nice people working there. Its a great place to hang out

Wife hated me smoking, I hated smelling like smoke, but I couldn't stop. The physiological addiction was probably worse then the chemical dependency. Gums, lozenges and chantix were all fine and dandy but at the end of the day it was the procedure of smoking I found most addicting. Nothing like that waking up, after lunch, dinner, reason to step away from work for a break, and any stressed out moment action of having a smoke. I found it was my way of putting the world on pause to have a moment to myself and reflect or just go blank and not think about anything. Stepping outside without a smoke felt hollow and just didn't work. The second device I purchased worked like a charm and I haven't turned back yet.

I started doing cig-a-likes over a year ago to do Sunday School stuff with my kids (no smoking environment). In November of last year my kidney's finally gave out and I started doing dialysis. In the dialysis center it was 3 days a week for 4 hours at a time, that meant 4 hours without a smoke... almost unbearable. But in February I started doing dialysis at home (don't smoke in the house) and that take 3 1/2 hours 6 days a week.

So I said I'll invest in a nice battery and refillable tank so I can vape every day. I picked up my gear and haven't touched a smoke since.

My wife and I switched to vaping to save money for a new car. I was a pad smoker of reds for 30 years, but I still didn't cough and hack as bad as my wife did. We both smoked our last stinky the morning we picked up our new car, and haven't had a cig since. That was Feb 25th. Not sure how much money we are saving yet, but once we find our go to juice, and I start rebuilding, we'll be spending next to nothing what we used to.
 
I quit smoking after 30 years, I quit for 6. Then one day I got aggravated at work (like everyone else I'm sure) and borrowed a smoke within 3 days was back to a pack a day. I was so mad at myself for smoking again so I gave this s try. Within 4 days smoke free. It has been 2 weeks since last cig and I don't miss them. I also am not eating everything in sight like last time. I am restaurant manager so I gained 30 in no time but with the flavors it takes away the wanting of a smoke and the wanting to stuff my face
