Hello, my name is angus, Im 42 yr/old.
I started smoking at the tender age of 13.I hit a pack a day once I could buy them legally. I had stopped smoking when I was 30, and a few years ago, I was working on my car, and my friend who smokes was helping me, and had to run inside, but had a lit one, Now, Im not one of those ex-smokers that shuns smokers, or forces my opinion on anyones lifestyle choices. Hell, Ive let all my friends smoke in my cars the whole time, it never bothered me, even when I quit cold turkey 15 years ago.
But anyway, I offer to hold his smoke for him while he goes inside, and I just couldn't help my self.
13 yrs with out smoking down the drain. oops.
So, last summer I started buying throw aways, blu's, fin's, expensive, and taste like crap.
I kept smoking. At work, they have me down as a non-tobacco user to keep costs down, and if they found out I started smoking again, could be charged as fraud. So, im always leary when I go to the doctor, wich isn't often enuf because of this, Im on paper with doctor I don't use nicotine.
My corner quik-e-mart had a display of crown seven starter kits. Charger, 650mah ego, clearomizer.
25$. im in. There isn't much online about crown seven, but the blister pack looks like all the other starter kits, just re-named. Im hooked on the menthol mania that vapor tech makes. 24mg. I smoked camel 100's back in the day, never menthol, but like the menthol/ mint/ pepper mint flavors, so I got that. (crown seven flavors are horribly weak btw.)
So, now its been a couple months with this setup, and one month with out analogs. Im starting to pick up the lingo, as now im ready to move on to some thing with a bigger hit, and try to hang with you kids.lol
But I do like the small ego setup I started with, easily hidden in my cargo pockets at work. I just hit it in the bathroom. (vaping in the boy's room, lol)
Hope to learn a lot here, and look forward to contributing whatever I can to discussions. ymmv.

Cheers. Thanks for taking the time to tell us your story. I wonder if insurance companies still consider vaping as the same thing as smoking. It only gets better as new generations of atties come out quicker than iPhones. I don't know what you call a toast that you make with a vape instead of a drink but here's one to you.

Thanks, bud. Ive been lurking for a few days, and have not seen much trolling, or immature behavior. everyone is friendly.
Those add up clock things you guys have in your sigs....where'd you get that?

I'm not sure. Maybe you can pm someone who has one to ask.

This is an extremely laid back place. I'm glad I found it too.

well, I tried. The bb code has xpic, and I copy paste html to my sig, and no dice. Hmmmm.....
Good job brad!
Let me ask you, brad, what rig are you using? Like I said, Im still using the starter kits. But I just ordered two kanger v2's a couple days ago. I want something I can keep flavors in, and still use the small ego starters when Im about town.
I did get a K1 a couple days ago, but with a 900mah ego batt on it, it still just breathes too easy. I even put a piece of tape over one of the two holes. So I cleanes out the menthol juice, put in a new bvc, and put in black cherry. I gave that rig to my wife, who says she can quit cigs cold turkey. been quitting off/on for 5 years now!lol.
I think the easier breathing of the K1 will be nice for her, because she hacks up a lung when she hits my starter kit.

so I ordered a couple kanger mini's for my ego batts last week.I had a fresh ego batt ready to go. Delivered today. Fresh battery, fresh black cherry. mmmmmmmm. smooth..... Its like constant dessert.
I really like the pull on this tank. The K1 I bought last week breathes too easy. And the clearomizers I use for a wicked menthol hit.
The kanger is a nice lookin piece. I'll prolly stick with this for a while. I do like the cloud from it. adds to the hand to mouth. I still miss cigs, But I smile a little in that Ive once again cheated death.

Picking up cigs again would have to follow something dramatically life changing...tornado....housefire....40 yr old wife pregnant........
