Back In 1955when I was 11 years old, I was standing on the corner with some buddies. One daring the other to inhale the non-filtered Camel being passed around the group. It was cool to smoke but we had not really gotten into it. Well I took the dare. Thought I was going to die. But that was the start. Began smoking and have been smoking around a pack a day for about 59 years. Smoked all non-filtered, Camel, Luckies, Pall Mall, Philip Morris, The cheapies in bad times and English Ovals in good times. Always about a pack a day.Smoked cigars ciarillos,and a pipe. A year ago, June 25,2014, I quit them all. I knew I had to quit. My doctor has been after me for years, telling me I have COPD. I kept telling myself I was fine and smoking was one of the few things I had left. I quit drinking and the funny cigarettes for my health. So what was left? Smoking! My wife had been trying to quit also. Only she was doing something about it. We both tried the gum and the patch and the candy and this and that. Nothing seemed to work, so I kept smoking. For a couple of years she had been trying the e-cigs. Didn’t really care for any of them, and was spending a whole bunch of money in the process. Finally one Saturday we were at a flea market that had a brick and morter store selling Vapes and juice. Figuring she could maybe find something she would like and put an end to her search. I wasn’t going to quit but I figured for her it might work if she could taste it before she bought and quit wasteing any more money on the e-cigs. Well after finding a juice she liked, she sugessted I try a couple too! Right, I didn’t want any of that stuff. But I gave in and we both walked out with inexpensive rigs and we have been vaping ever since. That was the last day I smoked. She tried to light up a couple of days after we started vapeing. Took about 2 or 3 hits and put it out Didn’t like the taste and the smell. We gave away 3 full cartons. We were spending about $400 a month between us on cigarettes. So we figured we could spend a little on updating our equipment and better juices. We’ve done that and found that the better the equipment, the better the taste. We started with the tobacco flavors and now neither of us want anything to do with a tobacco taste. I started at 18nic she at 12 nic. Now I’m at 6nic she is at 3 nic or less. We are not in it to see how big a cloud or how many watts we can get to. We vape at low watts. We want flavor, and we get it. She vapes about 5 flavors and I have about 8 flavors. Our choice of tanks are the Nautilus. She likes box mods, I prefer the tube type. Both with controled watts and volts. I know that vapeing has gotten us off of cigarettes for good, where all else failed. Been vapeing a year, My breathing has improved to the point where I’m walking a mile or more everyday. Before I quit smoking, couldn’t walk across the yard without being winded. For being 70, with COPD I think I’m doing pretty good. My Wife feels better and is extremly active,yard work and gardening and walking and bikeing. Would’nt be happening if we were still smoking. All I can say is, Thank you, for finding Vaping.
