Thank god it finally worked!! Like most smokers I tried vaping a few years ago on a budget with those crappy $20 pens. After a few mouthfuls of juice,,,,some major coughing fits and a few juice stains from leaking in my pocket I gave it up. When I heard the term e-cig I naturally assumed it would draw like a smoke,,,taste like a smoke and give me the feeling of a smoke without the smoke. Boy was I mistaken!! So I forgot about it and threw it all away. A couple months ago a friend posted on FB that she had gone 10 weeks smoke free with a vape. As I was congratulating her I stopped and did the math and had my holy .... moment. That was the moment I refused to put $150.00 a week into the ashtray. Did some research and took the plunge. Finally,,,I got the experience I was looking for with a Vaporesso Swag. Only took 2 days to realize that was too small and the monster was created,,,LOL. I will be definitely be keeping my local vape shops in business now!!

Thank you,,,and Hi Lucy!!

Sorry to say,,,but I haven't quit. I still enjoy smoking and still do,,,,but a pack or 2 a week is far less than the pack or 2 a day I was. I'm a smoker,,,,period. Whether it's my vape,,,cigs,,,w*** or my briar pipe,,,,,,something will be inhaled into my lungs. Been doing it for 35 years and I ain't no quitter,,,LOL. But I have finally got the experience I was hoping for and my vapes will be chosen 98% of the time. Now comes the task of finding the right flavor without going bankrupt!!

Took it back, lol

Well never say never - it took me three years and one month of dual use before I finally did quit - will be three years smoke free in January, after 37 years, 2.5 PAD habit

Every less cigarette is a win, even if you have no intention to quit :)

Op your from Vancouver BC? I grew up in Richmond. I go to lucky 8 vapes as it used to be close to my house (when I'm back) before my family moved lol. Then I moved to China lol.

Nice!! I'll have to check them out next time I'm in Richmond. I lived in Ladner for almost 20 years before I moved to Surrey 8 years ago.

Well I'm Chinese, where else can I go lol (that was a lame race joke). Lucky8 is near Richmond center. Pop in the Richmond on a non busy afternoon, start with some good Chinese food for lunch, then grocery shop at some Asian market that isn't T&T and then pick up Chinese dinner to go. Go home and enjoy your dinner.

But that's if u survive surrey lol

It's across Richmond center. Also a shop on that street that has a lot of restaurant across from landsdowne mall. (I forgot the street name all of sudden, that's how long I have not been back home lol).

Also T&T is that bad just way too many mainlanders during busy hrs lol.

I only buy my grocery from them during non busy hrs lol

I'm more of a stamp card/collect points system kinda guy (more u shop more points u get so I can redeem free stuff) and they have that over at lucky8s.

I have also hear there are great shops in Vancouver but I have gone (I have a lazy ass when I use to come back ever winter). Have a look around.

Whalecome from Montreal!

Try Charlie’s Chalk Dust for some great Canadian made juices. Their Mr. Meringue is pretty awesome. Twelve Monkeys also makes some great fruity juices.
