My name is Rex McCormick i am a 21 yr old male living in Panama City Fl. I began smoking when I was 16, I was smoking 2 and a half packs a day of Newport Menthol. I have switched to using electronic cigarettes. I use a variable voltage mod (a Vamo V5), When i switched originally a year and a half ago, in less than 24 hours i did not want or crave a cigarette. I had extremely high blood pressure, shortness of breath to the point i could barely walk through Walmart half the time and it even effected how well i slept at night. Since switching to an electronic cigarette i can run again, blood pressure is under control and im sleeping like a baby. When i started using my mod i was on 24 mg of nicotine, that was about a year and a half ago, today i am VAPING 12 mg. With electronic cigarettes your body walks you down off of receiving this external source of nicotine. I had previously attempted to quit using Nicorette, Nicoderm CQ and even some of that nicotine gel but it DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR ME. In less than 24 hours on an Ecig i was completely done with cigarettes.
