Long ago @Huggett convinced me to join the forums and I probably should have been a little more active, and there were many reasons why I wasn't active and none of them were personal against anyone, I've just been going through quite a lot of changes. Secondly, I don't expect anyone to remember my introduction, but I'm Huggett's cousin from the United States, the only difference is I don't piss in the kitchen like he does. I'm from The Pacific Northwest, I'm about an hour south from Seattle, Washington. We have a lot of douchebag hipsters, opposite from peaceful protesting hippies and some pretty fuckin' cool ones, normalization of hemp and rainbow prancers all around town (no hate, gal with two moms here) a fuck ton of rain, humid summers and a hell of a lot of vape shops. Some local, some with overly processed, asian manufactured crap.
My tobacco quit date was December 24th 2012, no weening, straight to vape. My first and only mod that I've ever had was a Volcano Inferno from my local store in Olympia, Washington. My only mission with my vape was to quit smoking, I wasn't interested in puffing huge clouds or being able to listen to Pandora while I vape, all I wanted was to get off the tobacco and that was it really. But if for some reason someone gifted me something better like that, I would gladly accept it and be very grateful.
It's now 2016, it's been almost 4 years of straight vaping, haven't purchased a pack of smokes for myself. I am now disabled and unable to work and money is pretty tight right now and secondly I'm growing rather bored and annoyed having to constantly maintain a mod, spend money on coils and juice, cleaning the thing, wasting money on gas just to get decently priced juice since Volcano fired all of their decent employees and hired really shitty, snobby, rude employees who make snarky remarks to you from behind the counter and they've raised their prices on everything in their store. Also, I just don't want to spend the money on another mod, so I just would rather retire from vaping all together, but it also goes beyond money. There is also something socially that I cannot stand about the vaping fan base in my community alone.
I will name off one instance, but this has happened in similar circumstances on multiple occasions and it drives me up the fucking wall, and this is the type of shit that makes me want nothing to do with the vaping community in my area or the United States especially. Pretty much, this is a very exaggerated situation, but it's those assholes who will confront me in public and say shit like "ZOMG YOUR MOD SUCKS MINE CAN GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 600 VOLTS AND PUFF CLOUDS SO BIG THAT YOUR SHITTY CAR WOULD CRASH PLUS MINE CHANGES COLORS AND IT VIBRATES AND MY GIRL LOVES IT"
Fuckin cool dude, if you wanna suck on robot dicks and spit semen clouds all day be my guest, but my mod is for quitting smoking, not looking like a robots bitch. And when I mention that I use mine for quitting smoking, suddenly I'm the conformist. It's a never ending circle jerk with these people and they always get so defensive about it, and I shit you not one guy and I got into it one night that he got so angry he was in tears. That is not an exaggeration. Those are the kind of people that make me hate my vape in a way. I'm like holy fuck, you make people into sniveling pussies, what is wrong with you? But maybe that's just a US thing. I don't see it coming from UK folk at all thank fucking shit or anyone in the forums. That's why cuz told me to come here and tell you whats up lol.
Anyhow, my plan from here on out is Doc put me on Chantix (Champix). It's a strange concept considering it's used for people on cigarettes, but I'm using high nicotine strengths so it is going to work the same. Yes, I have tried gum and patches, both put me through Anaphylaxis alergic reactions. Weening mg dosage down to 12 put me through anger and anxiety spells, so Chantix will be my last hope to give a try, and I do have high hopes. I do know the risks and side effects, and my doctor is confident enough in me to recognize those symptoms and stop the drug immediately if I notice a change. But, I'm really hoping it all works out, and Huggett encourages me to stick around on the forum for some support from you guys, and I'll definitely do my best to stick around lol. Anyhow, thanks a bunch for hearing this Yank ramble.
