Vaping has entirely changed my life. I found vaping merely a year ago. I am now 21 years of age, and I began smoking at the age of 13 (not to my parents knowledge at that time). I struggled with smoking cigarettes and trying to quit all up until I found a little e-cig shop about 20 minutes from my hometown. I had tried snus, patches, gums, and quitting cold turkey all up until this point with no success. I decided to purchase my first ego style battery with a tank and redbull flavoring at 16mg of nicotine. At that point I knew nothing about them other than they made me not want to smoke, and there were way less chemicals in them than a real cigarette. 2 weeks had gone by and I began tasting things differently, was able to smell and breathe better, and could smell a cigarette from a mile away (and was disgusted by it). As time has gone on, vaping has become not only a hobby of mine, but a passion. From when I have started I have never looked back to cigarettes. I have invested my time and money about learning more about vaping, I am now to the point of building my own coils and making my own ejuices and can truly say I don’t just enjoy vaping because it has been the only successful means of quitting smoking for me, but also because it is a hobby for me. I have even decreased my nicotine down to 0-3mg by using vapes.
