New to the forum, checking in from Osan AB ROK. I had been smoking from the time I joined the Air Force 19 short years ago! Was smoking anywhere from 1-2 packs a day, normally 2 a day during the weekends here, I mean we tend to drink a bit, which in my case led to chain smokin! One morning, after a long night in Songtan, I woke and really had a hard time breathing, was coughing my ... off, and just overall felt like trash! Now I have tried to quit countless times, went to the classes on base, tried the pills, patches blah blah, but something this time made me really want to find a way to nix the habit. I had heard of eCigs, and had even tried one years ago, but at the time didn't really cut it for me, pretty weak, didn't get that "full" feeling out of it. Anyway, off to good ol' trusty google, which led me to youtube for some newbie recommendation videos. I guess at the time the Twist was fairly new, and seemed to be getting the majority of "If you're new, you have to try this", so yeah, ordered a kit. Now, being in Korea, took a bit of time to get, the day it arrived, I actually was too late to pick it from the window, so I had to wait another day...talk about a christmas night moment! I was at that window 5 mins before they opened the next morning! So excited, I opened that box in the car, filled that clearomizer, and let it wick on my way to work. I honestly sat in the car for 10 mins vaping on that thing, stepped out of the car and tossed my full pack of Marlboro Ice Blast into the trash can on the way in...have not looked back, that day was Aug 22nd 2012! I may be crazy, but today I realized just how good I feel now, I can take a deep breath without that lil tingle in my chest, clothes smell better, and food seems to taste better, which may be a bad thing actually!!
I would like to thank those of you that take the time to make videos, build these forums, write blogs, and get the information out to those like myself that are looking for an alternative to smoking. If it hadn't been for the youtube videos, I would have had no idea where to start! Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!!
