Whelp, it's been a year and four months without smoking traditional cigarettes! I bought a Silver Bullet from AltSmoke, found my cigarettes 2 weeks later and crushed them. I now have a ProVari Mini with an AGA-T hybrid and love it. I also work for a vape shop called 9South Vapes in South Jersey making juices and selling mods. I love vaping, I love feeling healthier and making a difference to so many other people by providing them with a safer alternative to smoking. I will vape forever as long as I am able to do so.. and I plan on increasing my mod collection drastically over the upcoming years!
1 year and 4 months, NO cigarettes!!

Good job!!
Thank you!!
Cigarettes are evil, vile things. You must feel so much cleaner and healthier having been free of them for a year.
It's always great to do something you love for living too. The vapor industry is just blowing up right now and I think a lot of us will end up in it in the future. I'd love to have a vape shop, but the people around here seem to be content with tar and fire.

I feel like a million bucks since I've quit. And my wife and I are considering moving to St Pete, FL in a year, so we have been talking about opening a franchise store from the company I work for. I have a buddy who can make tube and box mods with his CNC machine, so the possibility of making and selling my own mods is pretty good. We'll see though. =)

Quit using tobacco all together on 11 of May 1991, to the day exactly ten years after Bob Marley died.
Never was a real smoker of cigarettes that much but from that moment on I only had some puffs from one cigarette three months after stopping, just to try, it left me totally nauseous and at one moment I was even puking.
So by than I realized the full impact of smoking tobacco and all the poisoning it had done to my body.
Since than I stopped using tobacco and smoked my herbs without mixing tobacco, but since I bought a Solo vaporizer some months back, I see myself cutting down on smoking but not yet leaving it completely yet because I have noticed a subtle difference in high using a vaporizer against combustion smoking.
It is a subtle difference in the depth of the high and how long it lasts, I find that smoking the combustion way, the effect of the herbs are stronger and last more.
So, though using the Solo frequently since I got it, I still will be lighting up a pipe every now and than.
But tobacco???? NEVER MORE!!!
NO THANKS!!!
I'm selling one of my ProVari minis. Comes with the blue LED, an 18350 battery, New spring and switch, etc. $150

Congratulations on being cigarette free for well over a year! That's what's good.
Just noticed you were in Temecula... you need to visit Pechanga's GREAT OAK STEAK HOUSE and get yourself a proper meal if you haven't already.

I, uh, used to smoke a pack a day. Yeah... seriously picked up ecigs with the Ultra and AVA. That was a while ago now, and I haven't gone back since. I take random breaks for a few months at a time, I don't know why because when I do vape I enjoy it, but then I don't care the slightest when I hit one of the "no-vape" months.

Congratulations you, People who smoke are idiots. They stink, have terrible hygiene and show a complete disregard for their health.

Very cute avy............lousy first post. Let me ask you a question. Do feel that anyone who is deep into any addiction that is harmful to them, be it heroin, alcohol, food disorders like bulimia, etc, are all idiots? Do you REALLY believe that? Do you believe that someone wakes up in the morning and says, "Hey, I got a great idea. I'm gonna do something that's going to kill me even if I don't want to die." Cause if you really believe that, than I totally understand the fact that you feel that they are idiots.

People who smoke are people with less than great influences, people who vape are informed people with more healthy influences. Idiot is a harsh word against a lot of us who had to discover health on our own, and may have smoked and one point in life.

Yup. When I was addicted to tobacco and coke, I had as many healthy influences as I have now, with one exception. For me, it was all about timing. It was the birth of my boys that was the catalyst for me to quit a lot of my self-destructive behavior for even though I knew that what I was doing was killing me, when I realized that it was killing their father, I took action.
For addicts, and I put those that are addicted to cigs in the same category as those that are addicted to heroin, they need a reason to quit, and sometimes, self-preservation, in and of itself, isn't always enough.
