Hi all, a brief introduction:
I am a complete noob to vaping, having discovered it courtesy of my wife who one day came home with a nice and somewhat strange looking device. Her hairdresser had recommended she try e-cigs and pointed her towards a local shop, so along she went and was sold an eGo battery with a couple of CE4 clearomisers and some silver & gold liquid. I tried a couple of puffs of it but was not overly impressed. However after a week went by she was a convert and had not touched a real ciggie, so she just decided to buy me one.. no discussion involved.
Being honest I had absolutely zero faith and no interest what-so-ever in this device. I had tried using an e-cig before, it was an eLite cigarette look-a-like. I had found it totally unsatisfying, vaguely unpleasant to use and after a week's use had given up trying to quit smoking using it. I still have half a dozen of the little useless cartridges for it in my desk draw.
Fortune intervened, a couple of days past with the new eGo sitting on my desk still in it's packaging. I had run out of my normal Rothman's, it was late at night and I was considering driving to my nearest 24 garage to go restock, then I decided I would wait until the morning and instead use this device. I figured it might at least serve a purpose, albeit short term. So there I am puffing away on this device and strangely quite enjoying it. It definitely satisfied my immediate craving. I went to bed resolving that I would pick up some real ciggies in the morning.
Waking up and with my morning cup of joe in hand once again I decided to turn to the ego.. before I knew it a whole day had passed and not once did I feel any immediate need to go and buy some ciggies. In fact the more I used the eGo the more impressed I became.
I have been a full time smoker since I was 14 years old, 20-25 a day for the past 26 years. I have tried quitting several times and failed miserably. My biggest reason for failing was I simply have always enjoyed smoking as a guilty pleasure. The oddest thing is, stopping smoking has not been on my immediate ToDo list, I had not given it any thought. So here I am a week later, very much enjoying this new world of vaping, I have been reading all I can on the topic and am now a convert. I have not touched a real ciggie and not wanted too. If anyone would have told me 2 weeks ago that I would now be in this position, my (at the age of 40) well practised cynicism would have dismissed that notion immediately.
Obviously it has only been 1 week and far to early to declare victory! However, right now I am very optimistic and have already ordered some new toys, an Innokin MVP2 with the iClear 30s and one of these Aspire Nautilus's with a pack of replacement coils. Oh and a couple of tobacco flavors to try out, the Black Cat griswald and a couple of others.
Congratulations and Welcome to the Wonderful World of Vaping!!!
