Hey everyone! I am new to vaping and also to the forum. I started on this road when a friend of mine at work that I used to go out on smoke breaks with showed me her e-cig kit. I took a couple puffs, felt the nic, and loved the flavor ( I think it was sticky bun or something). Thats when I started talking to my wife about it. She also smokes. Ive been smoking for 7 years @ anywhere between a pack and a half to a half pack a day and have been struggling to quit for the last 4 years. I started out with a couple of nicoteks that were given to my wife and I by someone that she works with. Right away I was in love. Satisfying my craving, tasting better, smelling better, and less expensive. The nicoteks however, being what they are, broke. The batteries crapped the bed on me (maybe I got ejuice in them on accident). I was bummed, but everything happens for a reason because I then ordered the Volt and I couldn't be happier. Much much better vapor production. I prefer vaping a higher VG mix, and I love my sweet flavors. I started at the 24 mg level just to be safe. I figured if I started at a higher nic I would be less likely to supplement with an actual ciggerette. My wife and I are now happily vaping away with nice sealed batteries as to not repeat our battery mishap. While waiting for our new e ciggs, I did smoke some tobacco ciggerettes and it was very unsatisfying because it tasted gross. I'm thinking that in the short time with the nicoteks my taste buds healed. Anyway, its great to be here and I just wanted to share our story and say hello to everyone!!
