I started smoking a bit over 30 years ago when I joined the Army. Smokers got two extra breaks back then. After Basic Training, I switched to a pipe because I liked the flavor better. Then after 25 years, I was waking myself up with that wheezing sound you get lying on your side and had to sit up and cough really hard to clear it out. I started looking to quit or switch to something else. Heard about e-cigs, but e-pipes were expensive and didn’t work well. In October 2012, I started finding ones I could try without breaking the bank or the epipe so I got a 601-c in the mail on Friday November 2. Put my analogue aside and vaped until Sunday night. I then noticed that I was using a LOT of juice and would need to re-order a sample pack within a week. So I figured, I will just try the pipe again so I know I have something to fall back on if the liquid runs out. I took two puffs of the pipe, carefully set it aside and went online to learn how to make my own e-liquid. Tobacco tasted more of the tar and ash than the flavor I fell in love with 30 years ago. I have not smoked since and have not felt the need to.
