My name is Richard Willis and I just wanted to share my story of how vaping e-liquid has changed my life. I am in my 50’s and smoked Marlboro Special Blend Red 100’s for over 20 years, and at least a pack a day. In October of 2013, I got up at 6am to have my usual morning coffee and cigarette. The very first drag I took from my smoke, immediately made my lungs hurt, and made my feel kind of sick all over. I knew that smokes where killing me slowly, and had tried many other things to help me quit. I’ve tried the patches, but they wouldn’t last all day. I tried gum, I tried wellbutrin, I tried switching to lights and weaning myself. But nothing ever worked. I had seen friends using a vape pen, and puffing on e-cigs, so I knew they exisisted. But that morning I was finally in enough misery to be willing to try actually try it. I had been researching it anyway and was really impressed with the fact that e-liquid is very basic, and not to much to it. I mean the glycol and glycerin didn’t really any bad reports, and I found out those two products are already being used in food products, medicines, cosmetics, and so on. So I went to the local vape store and bought a starter kit. I was reluctant to throw away my smokes right away though, so I put them in the glove box of my car. (lol) I committed to giving it an honest effort just for that day to see how my nicotine cravings went. That was at noon on the 18th of October, 2013. I made it through the entire day and was pleasantly surprised not to have any cravings. After a couple of more days, I threw away my smokes and haven’t had one since. Something else I don’t have anymore is the coughing up routine every morning, and my arms don’t fall asleep at night due to poor circulation. My headaches have almost gone away completely. My allergies aren’t raging anymore, and I am not out of breath from climbing a set of stairs. Oh, my clothes don’t smell like smoke,and e-liquid is much less than half the cost of a pack of smokes everyday! So yea……I am a BIG supporter of vaping. The e-cig part of I don’t know about. I only vape e-liquid using a battery and clearomizer. I know without a doubt that this has not only changed my life, but I believe it saved it as well. I started out on 30mg nicotine, and now I am down to 12mg. Yes it works.
