Hello folks
I have been lurking here ever since the forums opened, but only posted recently to ask a question or two and to comment on a few little things.
I have been analogue free for over a year. I was smoking 1.5 packs and dipping .5 cans per day before the transition. Now I have absolutely no desire for either, because I'm a nerd and I love the technology, vapor cloud, hand-mouth, falvor etc of vaping.
I've 'converted' a grand total of 3 people in that year, mostly because I avoid social situations... but I do have some friends and family who for some reason listen to me.
I grew up on New England, went to college in Arkansas and have worked in the DC area for the past 23 years. It was NOT fun watching my Patriots spanked by the Redskins in pre-season this year.
I quit both my habits before. Smoking and drinking. I was extremely heavily doing both. For the drinking, I got professional help. Now it's .... well... managed. The smoking, I've tried several of the Big Pharma solutions, that as we know, didn't work for people like us. Chantix almost cost me my job. I digress.
Smoking: I tried Blu and a couple other shit e-cigs but it didn't do anything for me. Soon-to-be-brother-in-law (yeah) turned me on to actual vaping. Have been hooked (and poor) ever since.
