Smoked half a pack a day for 20 years. On October 17, 2012 I bought an ecig from Volcano ecigs and a few different flavors of juice. I have not smoked ONE cigarette in the nine months since then and I never will again. Over that time I’ve found better and better equipment and even better juices than what I’ve started with. I actually enjoy vaping now MORE than I enjoyed smoking before. I had tried cold-turkey, nicotine gum and the patch before that. NONE of them worked even a little bit. Now I feel great, my taste and smell have gotten better, no heavy chest in the morning after smoking at night. It’s night and day.
