What's new

So I bought an e-cig starter pack 2 years ago but am now in the club for real!

Good Morning Fellow Vapers!


My name's Tom and I'm from High Wycombe Buckinghamshire. I was a solid smoker for 21 years until about 10 days ago. I purchased my first e cigarette starter pack in March 2012 and decided to import the Bull Smoke brand due to reviews advising it gave a proper throat hit and good taste for less value. At first, I was impressed, but was sucked back into my habit of smoking roughly 20 Marlboro Lights daily again in no time due to the fact my will power just couldn't hack it. I've come back again though and it's almost like the will power has taken hold properly and my e cigarettes are providing the perfect crutch for me to avoid the toxic habit again. I would almost go as far to say that I am now enjoying my daily vape at 7pm after work each day as much as I liked my cigarettes throughout the whole day. My cramped two bedroom flat has never smelt better. And talking of smells, after 10 days of being 'vape only' I am smelling and tasting in a way that seems extraordinary. I'm in for the long haul this time and have never felt better. Well aside from the cold and sore throat that my body has decided to throw at me as a punishment for denying it precious tar!

As I mentioned above, I chosen the slightly rarer Bull Smoke brand. It has mixed reviews across the board, but it suits me fine. I liked smoking and if it wern't for the health issues I still would. Bull Smoke promotes itself as a brand that suits those like me that were probably glamorised by mid 80's Hollywood with underlying Marlboro cigarette promotion.

Not sure how long ill be able to continue importing their products from the US with new legislation coming in next year, but I love the fact I can buy 24mg carts and the Turkish and Ranger flavours taste great.

I've been a slave to cigs (and other burnable substances) for a very long time until now. I feel like vaping might have just saved me from and early untimely end.

I look forward to discussing this incredible development in technology - I know I'm late to the party, but hope to make some friends and learn more about vaping while I'm here.

Tom.

to you and you've picked the right place to make friends and get the right advice so you have a pleasant vaping journey. Well done on packing in those stinkies [emoji3] [emoji106]
Hey gerry say hello to a neighbour [emoji6]
 
Welcome buddy!

Best place to help keep off the ol stinkies! It's like a support group/banter factory/info hub/vape car boot/ dating site lol

Ok so I lied about the dating group!

Being a fellow high wyciam (I have no fucking clue what you'd call someone from high Wycombe as I'm actually originally from Cornwall) if there is anything you need just give me a shout :)

hi and welcome to the forum.

congratz on the 10 days and onwards to the 10 month mark.

good idea is to click on the banner below and save it to your signature and then every post you make you will be reminded on how long youve given up for, how many you have not smiked and the best bit, how much you have saved since stopping the dreaded stinkies.
 
Congrats welcome to the planet didn't realise there where people from high wyc on here I'm in Aylesbury but Tom I'm in to wyc to visit the new vape b and m in the town centre


Planet of the Vapes
Vaping since 3/6/14
 
Thanks for the welcome guys and I appreciate the support!

@gerry Nice to know there's a fellow Wycomber on these forums. You came here from Cornwall? Are you mad? This place is a s*ithole! :18: Do you know many vape friendly pubs in Wycombe? I know that vaping for one reason or another is banned at both the Wetherspoons in town.

@mrdj I'll certainly be adding that banner to my sig too. Great idea. I've been reading about this whole House of Cards thing, the longer you go without the less you want the house of cards you've built to topple. Right now 10+ days is incredible to me. Would have seemed unthinkable a couple of months ago. Girlfriend thinks I've gone mad (non-smoker), because I created a certificate with a motivational message next to my computer after 7 days!

@3born I saw that vape shop the other day in the quiet part of the Eden centre. Sadly looks a bit over staffed with not much traffic going through atm. I was going to go in but was in a hurry to meet some friends.

Right back to my day day job now. I'm a bit of insomniac (especially right now due to the quitting) so will probably be posting at some unusual hours over the next few days. Look forward to comparing notes and sharing some banter.
 
I guess your talking about sparks in the Eden! Great shop!

The guys in there are really helpful and the prices are really good
