I have been smoking cigarettes since high school and over the years progressed to about 2 packs a day. Prices got ski high and it was a struggle to keep up the brand name smokes and I started smoking less desirable brands because they were cheaper. Then roll your own! I moved to Arizona and finally couldn’t afford even enough for roll your owns and went into an ecig shop to find out more. I bought the BLU ecig starter kit and to my surprise they satisfied my nicotine crave at 24mg. I’ve gotten bigger longer lasting batteries and use cartomizer tanks with 36mg nicotine tobacco flavered juice and shall continue this going strong for 16 months as of today July 29th 2013. I have smoked about 3 cigarettes within the first two weeks of vaping and man they were horrible. I couldn’t believe that I had smoked such a nasty thing for so long!!! STEVE LEWIS
