I am a 37 year old man who started smoking at age 11 (with the help of my older sister)… I smoked for 26 years before finally being able to quit… In those years, I tried to quit countless times… I used every option available (patches, gum, medication, etc)… Nothing ever worked… I took Chantix years ago and was able to not smoke while I was on it, but started again as soon as the prescription ran out… Nothing ever worked… My first introduction to electronic cigarettes was about a year and a half ago when I found GreenSmoke… I spent a ridiculous amount of money on a kit and cartridges and it failed miserably… Terrible battery life, terribly measured dosages, terrible taste, etc… So I, again, started smoking… Several months later, with much prodding from family (especially my youngest daughter), I decided to look into them again… This time, I put time into researching the alternatives to the overpriced kits that are advertised everywhere… I found the Joyetech ego Twist batteries and discovered that there is a whole world of options for people who really want to quit smoking… Flavors and PG/VG ratios and nicotine dosages could all be made exactly how I wanted them… So I shopped around and got some batteries and juices that I would like… I bought several different types and brands of clearomizers, under the assumption that they were easy and worked well… I was able to quit smoking (for the most part) and was doing pretty well, but it wasn’t perfect… Life got in the way and I started smoking again due to the massive amount of stress I was under… Six months later, after getting everything taken care of and squared away, I came back to vaping, determined to never smoke again… I got more involved and made the effort to educate myself… I joined ECF, started watching YouTube reviews (Phil Busardo and GrimmGreen) and scoured the internet seeking knowledge… I invested in equipment that has been proven to work well, be consistent, last through time and keep me from smoking… I now own four great devices (a SID, a VAMO, a Tesla and a Provari)… I use cartomizer tanks (J-Tanks and a Kir Fanis Prive Special) throughout the day and at work… At home, I use dripping atomizers (Joyetech, Empire Mods and Avid Vaper) with a variety of juices… And I have recently acquired four different rebuildable atomizers to start learning with and using… I have not touched an analog cigarette in over three months now and am 100% completely happy and satisfied with vaping… I have no cravings to smoke or desire to ever do so again… Since quitting smoking, my health has been measurably better… I used to wheeze and cough constantly… No more… I can breathe much better… My chronic sinus issues are nearly gone… My Psoriasis rarely flares up and when it does, it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be… I have much more energy and stamina… There is just nothing bad that I can say… Once you find what works for you, it really works… The difference in my life is amazing… I cannot imagine smoking ever again… And I am completely happy with that…
