I started smoking when I was 17 back in 2012. I started as a light smoker, took me about 3-4 days to go through a single pack, then after a little while I started to slowly go up to a pack every day to two days. It all started with the brand 777 Ecigs, small little ones after I turned 18. I still smoked while using it at first. Then I slowly got more into the different brands of non tobacco companies and smoking went back to 3 days on average for a pack. 2013 rolls around and I start delving into products such as the aerotank, still smoking though. The end of last year, 2014, when I picked up my first ever mechanical mod and got into building my own coils on my own RDAs, and from then on I just don’t smoke anymore. I feel a lot better physically, mainly with my lungs because I can walk up my massive hill on my road when I go for a walk without any problems and not wanting to stop halfway through. I don’t smell anymore and my parents don’t mind me vaping in the house at all as long as my window’s open so it doesn’t get hazy since I have a mechanical mod. Where I work as well, a phone order representative, out of roughly 150 people in our one center, I was the only one who used ecigs. Here, going on about 7 months later after spreading the word around, I have gotten one of my good friends I work with to quit, he got his mom to quit, and there are now at least 6 others as well who are using ecigs (ego units with regular clearomizers or Kanger products. My friend went all out and has an ego unit and mech mod for his first units) and don’t smoke at all anymore and they all notice how much it has helped them quit and they noticed a big change in their health. One thing I also use from time to time is General Snus because I do NOT trust what the creators of Camel and Marlboro snus have in it, they don’t list the ingredients. I only buy US made liquids from trusted liquid makers that all use USP grade ingredients. I do not trust where the Big Tobacco liquid comes from, I’m pretty positive they do not list it anywhere. That’s my story.
