Hello all. Michael here. Definitely a fun journey getting to where I am today vaping. Never thought I'd pick up a vape let alone quit smoking cigarettes. Heard about vaping in 2012 and really didn't think much of it. The Blu cigalikes had been around for a while and I tried a couple. Never saw it replacing cigs. Then a friend popped up one day with an ego style vape. I tried it and coughed like crazy. Was like no way. Not for me. About a year later my exwifes sister opened a vape shop right in the middle of town. I stopped by as we were still on good terms. She talked me into buying an ego pen and aspire pro tank. I hit that hard for about a week and only smoke 7 cigarettes that week. It just wasn't a cigarette though. I needed more power. Decided on a vision spinner 2. Didn't work past charging it so I gave it a go at an istick50. Still had the pro tank but started smoking again. Went to a different shop one day after looking at a new tank. Got an Atlantis 2. Was dual using for about 2 years. On to 2015 still dual using and one of my daughters asked me at a birthday party for one of the other kids why I Vaped and smoked. If vaping helps not smoke, then why not quit smoking. She was right. I could go most of the day vaping. Only like food, sleep and sex triggered cigs. So it was September 22 2015 that I had my last tobacco product. Found Vaping underground from someone on the dr crimmy group on Facebook before the whole toilet juice fiasco. Someone from that group actually sent me my first rda. I stayed on here for a while following Zamazan and Robot Zombie around just reading. And more reading. Lol. Vu is the only thing I read except for Mooch. Am honored at the opportunity to be a moderator. Just more time I get to spend on here. I love it. Anything to help someone else quit or do something safely I'm there. And buy/sell. Anyone here that knows me knows of the shinyitus I have. And that's my story. Smoke free. Feeling great and part of the best forum there is.️
