What do you need help deciding with?

whether I wanted one or if I was just going to stick with smoking. Sorry, should have said so before.

Of course I was already completely intrigued, but wasnt sure if the cost was worth it because I couldnt find anything descriptive enough at the time, then I saw arno's videos on youtube, went to the site, saw the guide, and decided to buy from him. I know I talk about his site a lot, sorry for that ><
