Hello, My name is Tim and I was a smoker for 18 years (I??m only 32 so 18 years is a long time!). It began when I was a young teen I had friends who smoked and they got me started. There was a donut shop by my house that sold cigarettes to ANYONE for $1.75 a pack. You would go inside and ask for the Marlboro Reds and give the man $2.00, he would then place my smokes and a quarter on the back step of the store. I smoked about 1-2 packs a day from then up until 2 months ago. I used to get really paranoid when low on cigarettes, and always had them no matter what. What changed for me, as I had tried the ones that look like cigarettes, was the throat hit that mods made. It was the perfect combination and I bought a starter kit and I have never looked back. I use a mechanical mod with cartomizers/atomizers and most juices at 18mg nicotine. Two days after getting my own kit I stopped smoking. I even had my device fail in the first week and didn??t go buy cigarettes. This was the only option for me as I had tried to quit smoking 100??s of times throughout the years, even after being diagnosed with Asthma and Bronchitis I still smoked a pack a day. For this to have made an almost 2 decade smoker stop on day 2 is amazing. I remember my first day coming to work with only my vaporizer, no lighter, no smokes, was kinda scary. But after that day I never looked back. I can feel the health coming back to my lungs as well as my stamina increase also no more foul odors or second hand smoke. I tried quitting with gum, smaller ecigs as well as counseling but nothing worked until this. I mean it when I say e-cigs saved my life and will ensure my children (all 4 of them!) that their daddy will be around for quite some time. I hope all smokers find their vaporizer and quit as I did. I hope this testimonial will be heard and that anyone looking to quit smoking and start vaping will do so and not stop until they find a kit that makes them stop.
