Hello, I'm Leslie

Quiet greetings to the underground:

I smoked for about 42 years, mostly because my college boyfriend told me I wasn't allowed to. Harrumph.

After my husband died (of cancer), I tried to quit but didn't have the will. I started vaping/smoking alternately, but to my surprise, after about a year of that (and steadily more expensive cigarettes) I discovered I prefer vaping to cigs, for about three dozen reasons. I've gone from the clunky behind the cash register e-cigs to my most recent love, the VOOPOO drag 2, which is darned close to perfect for me (big tank, reliable first-time fire, magnetic battery cover, slow drain on batteries) except for the drip tip which springs from its mount like a rodeo calf-roper and the fill opening which tends to fill with a bubble while you're refilling the tank).

Other than that, it's aces. I breathe better, I sleep better, my clothes don't have holes and my eyes don't burn. Of course, lots of people have more opinions about vaping than information and at least once a day somebody tells me it's more dangerous than tobacco and my head's gonna fall off.

Anyway - I came here because I had a question and it already got answered, so I am a contented camper.

Welcome to the forum, Leslie. I'm glad you were able to stick with it, though, I'm so sorry for your loss.

It's great you were able to find the answer to your question so quickly, but don't be a stranger. Stick around, have some fun. :)

Congratulations and welcome. I am so sorry for your loss of your husband. It's wonderful that you have quit the stinkies and have improved your health. I smoked for 30 years and switched to vaping 7 months ago. I feel so much better now, and it's great to wake up in the morning without coughing for an half hour.

Pleased to hear that vaping helped you quit smoking. I’d never go back either.
