I started smoking in college when I was 19 and continued to smoke around a pack a day despite numerous attempts to quit. A few years back (2010) I tried Blu e-cigarettes and found that they did not satisfy my cravings. These were the early versions. In my attempts to quit I had switched brands (Camels to American Spirits), tried the patch (itchy and irritating), cold turkey, and tried the gum which did not satisfy cravings. I also tried Chantix, which was a horrible ordeal. Despite many great things happening in my life at the time, my personality changed and I became very depressed (including suicidal thoughts). It took months until I felt like me again. In October 2013 I tried the disposable Blu e-cigarettes again and was able to go without a cigarette, but still had cigarette cravings. I needed something better. I did not want to smoke anymore. My health, my wife, and my two boys needed me to quit. After some research online I learned that there were better alternatives and found a local shop that sold the upgraded versions. I purchased a tank-style starter kit and never looked back. After 3 days I did not even remember how it felt to smoke cigarettes. I vape coffee flavored liquid and some fruit flavors (orange, strawberry, and other mixtures) from a tank-style (1300mah ego-t and Kanger protank mini II if anyone cares) clearomizer at 18mg. It has been 8 months so far and I have not had a single cigarette. E-cigarettes broke a 13 year, pack a day smoking habit in 3 days. I feel a thousand times better, I breathe better, I taste more things and I don’t smell like cigarettes.
