I wasn't sure if this should go here or the "Your Vaping Story" thread (but obviously decided here 
)
1 year ago today is when I decided to go into a local vape shop to see what this vape thing was all about.
I had smoked tobacco in some form all of my adult life. Over 40 years I had smoked cigarettes, cigars and then pipes. I knew that I had to quit, but the thought REALLY depressed me.
So, back in the vape shop, I was a little apprehensive, as all the young pierced, tattooed dudes working there stood and listened as I said that I was a pipe smoker. Turned out I was the first (tobacco) pipe smoker that they had helped, but they were really good and I ended up with my first little kit – a Geekvape Z50. The guy in the shop showed me how to prime the coil and from the first puff – I knew that this could actually work! I haven’t smoked tobacco since!
So, over this year, I have progressed to mixing my own liquids, making my own concentrates, owning dozens of RTA’s and 8 mods.
I love vaping! I treat it more like a hobby. All the mixing, experimenting with liquids, different tanks and builds etc.
Smoking tobacco used to make me feel guilty (even though I loved it). When I vape now, I just thoroughly enjoy it! There is virtually 0 health implications (in my view compared with burning tobacco anyway).
Ironically, my wife loves the smell of pipe tobacco and didn’t mind if I smoked in doors, but again, I always felt that it lingered too long and only did so in really bad weather. Now I can vape in doors, outdoors – it doesn’t matter!
I am just so glad that I made that decision to go into the vape shop 1 year ago today!
