Alright so I'm not totally new to the site, but I missed this forum. I'm 29, smoked since I was 15. Vaping was actually a happy accident for me. I got my wisdom teeth out back in April and wasn't allowed to smoke. I was good for the most part, but snuck a vape here and there because I thought it might be better? Probably not, but I recovered just fine.
Anyway, even though I was getting nicotine from the patch, I became really depressed. It only last a couple weeks but it was awful. I decided I never wanted to go through that again so I tried quitting completely with a patch... and each day I had more cigarettes than the last. Then a friend said, why don't you just try vaping? The first couple weeks required some willpower, but now I love it more than I ever loved smoking. I'm really surprised how easy it was to lower my nic... I think a big part of it for me is the act of smoking, not so much the nicotine.
I found all the vaping info online to be overwhelming so I kept on using my Markten cigalike for a while. "Yeah I vape, but I'm not obsessed with it or anything." That was until I made my first eliquid order. Then I got my pod vapes. And now I'm here 4 months later... just as obsessed as everyone else.
