I began smoking at 15 when it was cool. I started looking for an alternative in college. I triedthe gum. The patch and hypnosis. I was smoking again shortly after. In 2011 my wife bought me my first ecig kit at a local gas station called the cig2o. That was nice and iI used it for about 8months. Then we had to go out of town and I ran out of filter tips. I went looking for replacments and none that I found worked with my batteries so I tried a different one. I first got the 51. Then the metro. Then the nikotek. All left me wanting something more so I went back to smoking. I did use the mystik for a while and that was ok but smoking still was better. We moved again and I was back outside smoking and away from my wife so I decided to try again. I found the eGo brand at a cig store close to my house and was hooked. September 2012 I went tobacco free and have not looked back. The eGo and I have become inseperable and I love it so much that almost a year later I have decided to begin selling them. My store is online and doing well. So after over 30 years of smoking I have been tobacco free for almost a year now. I use my own blend of nicotine at 28mg with concentrated flavoring I buy online. I am happier now and feel healthier plus I can now Vape inside and be with my wife. Thank you ecigs for allowing me to enjoy smoking guilt free. Kick the butt Vape!
