My name is Ben and this is my story : I was a pack-a-day smoker for 10 years. I started young because it was cool and then it became a crutch that I depended on. Over the years I managed to quit for small periods of time but some dramatic life event would bring me right back to it. My health had diminished considerably. I couldn’t breathe very well and struggled with even small amounts of exercise. At some point I would even run short of breath while not doing anything. I started using vape products around 6 months ago after I had seen a new store open up near a favorite food place. We finished eating one night and I headed over to ask some questions and check out their products and prices. Roughly 15 minutes later I put down cigarettes and never looked back. When I first started vaping I was using a small mod with a small tank and was at 6mg of nicotine in my fluid. It was enough to fill the cravings and I enjoy the variety of flavors you can get. In the following months my nicotine level was reduced to 3mg and then 1.5mg and now I have several bottles of juice that are even at 0mg. This is the most effective quitting tool I have ever experienced and the truly amazing part was that it impacted the people around me. My passion for vaping ended up converting 3 friends and 1 family member. Since converting I have noticed the positive changes : – My breathing has become substantially better – I have a reduced number of headaches weekly – I no longer smell terrible (in fact, I usually smell delicious!) and my wife and kids are closer to me because of it – My teeth are no longer as yellow – I save lots of money monthly ($7.xx / day VS $7.xx / week) – I am happier The vape community is one of the most supportive groups that I’ve ever been a part of. Generally everyone is helpful, knowledgeable, and want you to succeed with staying away from tobacco products. They also connect with you very easily because you have something in common that you’re passionate about. Vaping is a part of my daily life and I love it.
