My name is Courtney. I had been a smoker from age 18-24 I started vaping on February 20th 2013 and I will always remember that as the day that saved my life. I began using a Blu disposable, and quickly found that would not be enough for me to quit smoking. Very soon after I switched to an ego c twist and a kanger evod tank. Once I had picked my flavour(which was NOT tobacco) I was on my way. Since then my collection has grown as my nicotine level has dropped. I now own a Provari, an SVD, a vamo, and an ACE. I also use various atomizers and am always looking for the best glass tank. I have not had a cigarette since the week of February 20th 2013. When I picked up my ego T and my bubblegum flavour. I don’t ever feel the desire to smoke. I completely stopped using any tobacco product completely when I switched to vaping. Once I had my flavour and my perfect level of vape, I had absolutely no need or desire for smoking. It was and is still an amazing feeling. I have and had tried just about every smoking cessation product out there, for not even a few hours before needing a cigarette and my anxiety taking over. The ONLY thing that stopped me was vaping. I went to counseling and was actually recommended electronic cigarettes. My entire quality of life has changed. I now care about my health, appearance, and body. My endurance and energy level is much higher, and I can breathe and smell again. I never knew how much of those senses I lost. Vaping has turned me into a health conscious, calmer individual. Now I can go hours without nicotine, and I vape for pleasure and taste. The anxiety of always needing something to do with my hands, or to smoke is completely gone and has saved me a lot in therapy bills. I also have not needed any dental work since I had my teeth whitened when I quit in 2013. I would say that this is the BEST decision I have ever made, and has brought me to an entire community and to a new, healthy way of living. I don’t know what I would do without it. My depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder have all become more manageable without the added anxiety cigarettes were giving me. I am so grateful.
