I am 43 years old, I started smoking back when I was 13, for the past 8 years or so I have smoked on average 2 packs a day. I had seen electronic cigarettes advertised online and had considered trying them, but decided against it at first as nothing else I had tried using to give up cigarettes in the past had helped, the patch made me feel nauseous, and the gum just didn??t help. In January 2013 my daughter??s boyfriend showed me this e-cigarette he had, it was a battery from a BLU e-cig, but it had a tank on it that he had filled with juice (mocha latte) that he had purchased online. I was definitely interested in that. He let me borrow his spare battery and a tank??. That was the day I bought my last pack of cigarettes. I was in love with this thing, just this cheap little cobbled together thing made me not even want to go back to regular cigarettes. I went out and immediately bought a BLU kit, with the disposable cartridges, they just weren??t the same as what I had been given by my daughter??s boyfriend. The taste was just off, and I found that I was going through cartridges pretty quickly. Then I found reddit??s /r/electronic_cigarette subreddit. And started reading, I immediately went online and ordered my first set of 2000MaH batteries, tanks and juices. After a month I was already feeling better, less stressed, more active. Even my co-workers and bosses noticed and were happy that I had given up cigarettes, within 2 months I had upgraded my kit to my first ??mod? a variable voltage lavatube, I ended up giving my old batteries and a supply of tanks and juices to another co-worker who had just been through heart surgery and was told by his doctor that he needed to quit smoking, He is also now a vaper exclusively. e-cig??s have definitely changed my life for the better, I can??t even stand the smell of smoke now, and couldn??t believe that I used to smell like that. My apartment and car don??t reek of smoke, I??m healthier and happier than I have been in years. And saving close to $15.00 a day by not smoking isn??t too bad either.
