Vaping Saved my Life

I tried my first cigarette at 12 years old. I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro Menthol 100s since. At 17, I realized I needed to quit. I tried those patches, the gums and the mints. Nothing helped whatsoever. A friend of mine recommended a vaporizer, and I went out and bought one. It took a few tries still to quit, but I did. I was using 24mg of nicotine in my e-liquid. I think the hardest part about quitting was the fact that there were very few flavors. My choices were menthol, tobacco, and cherry. I toughed it out and quit though. About a month later, I upgraded from the Kanger EVOD kit to an Innokin MVP 2.0. At that point, I had dropped my nicotine level to 18mg. Awesome progress. I then saw a vape shop opening in my area. SWEET! I went and bought a Sigelei 100w plus. I also won their grand prize, which was a Wotofo Rig Mod, a Patriot RDA, batteries, a battery charger, and liquid. Since I was starting to use an RDA, I dropped my nicotine to 6mg. Another few months pass and I was on 0mg of nicotine. I then see another shop opening in my area, and decided to apply. I got the job! I am still employed by this vape shop, and let me tell you, I LOVE it. My favorite thing in the world is helping people. When someone comes into the shop saying they were a pack a day smoker for fifty years and they want to quit, I get super excited. I get them on a setup that I think would work for them, whether that be a Kanger EVOD kit, an Innokin Endura T18 kit, an Aspire Premium kit, a Kanger Subox kit, or more, and get them some e-liquid that they would think fits them best. A week or two later, they’ll come in saying “I haven’t had a cigarettte!” Do you know how amazing that is? My personal health has increased as well. When I was smoking, I had the smoker cough, I could barely go up a flight of stairs, and I gained a lot of weight. Since using a vaporizer, I lost fifteen pounds, I ran a 5k, and I walk two miles to work every day. I can breathe! I have energy! I never thought I would quit, and seeing these customers come into the store saying they think they won’t quit but do, is amazing. It is an amazing feeling. The flavor selection we have is awesome. We have over 200 flavors now, for everyone to enjoy. I personally enjoy the more dessert like flavors, such as cinnamon apple fried ice cream, vanilla bean ice cream and candied pecans, but I also enjoy the fruity mixes like cherry watermelon and coconut mixed, grape pomegrante and blueberries and so much more in between. I enjoy mixing flavors for people as well, since we make a lot of our liquids in our store. We have a binder full of recipes that people have made, and it’s awesome. I feel that vaping has saved plenty of lives, including my own.
