Lordvapor Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Well I finally did it.. I have been reading and searching and reading... And I finally decided enough was enough... Main 2 reasons #1.... My father has been smoking for many many years and has just recently had a stroke... He is now 65 and desperately needs to quit... But He is old school and would not buy into this e cig thing after I told him about it... I have been a smoker since I was 17 I now am 40... My health and energy are diminishing quickly and I am scared for both of us... I have been unemployed for 7 months and could not afford to get into this like I wanted... I barely have enough money to pay water bill.. I am behind on mortgage payments and electric.... #2 I recently have been ill and I have not been able to smoke a whole analog without making me sick... Luckily my parents gave me some Christmas money to buy my wife a present and I cleared it with the wife If she would be happy as a healthier husband as a present...She agreed and I bought a 510 kit from cignot... And I could not pass up on buying some extra juice from Chris...He said that my father might like exotic tobacco and he has been so honest and truthful to everyone I had to trust his judgment... My plan is for me to try for few days and have my father try the second cig with the normal charger and I take the pcc... I cant wait... I just received a phone call from one of my old bosses I used to work with and he wants me to come in for a interview this Tues.... If everything goes as I plan I will be able to start a new year analog free with a new job and have a healthier father and a better feeling self!!!! Wish me luck and god bless you all......PS cant wait to get one of those banner thingies.... Edited December 17, 2009 by Lordvapor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Welcome and good luck ! The 510 is a great starter kit. Sounds like next year will be a good one for you guys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhester Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Man, that is the best story I've heard in forever! I don't know if this is PC but God has blessed you and I can't be happier for you! I promise this is a step in a new beginning for you. Just getting off the analogs will make such a huge difference in your life. Not only in your health but your wallet too! Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Don't forget that most of these vendors are here you help you and most don't mind one bit if you call with questions (Arno at awesomevapor and Jeff at Wordup come to mind). Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Congratulations! I agree with jmhester, this has got to be one of the best stories I've heard in a long time. And it's just perfect that it's almost Christmas. I am so happy for you - on all counts. All of us are here to encourage all of you. I'm sure it will work out. All of it! Do keep us updated and let us know if we can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordvapor Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks to all I am pretty happy with myself right now... I know its a minor accomplishment but I am gonna take one small step at a time... I just went to my local convenience store where I get get my analogs the cheapest.... AND I bought gas and Milo's sweet tea gallon (Another one of my vices) and that's all no cigs or nothing.......I take that back I also bought some lifesavers to chew until my 510 comes in... I was able to put that extra $5 in my gas tank..... Hoooray!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Much of the advice on here is not to put to much pressure on yourself to quit analogs. Just start vaping and the rest will take care of itself. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVapor Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Welcome Lordvapor! That's definitely a great story. Sounds like you're going to have a great 2010! I agree with Brian, don't think too much about quitting. I honestly didn't plan to quit when I first started vaping, but it just sorta happened on it's own. You'll be surprised how easy it is with these things. I'm sure you'll have plenty of questions, so don't hesitate to ask. Happy Vaping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrek Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hello all, I've found ya'lls forum site, and and have been reading a ton of posts here for the past few days. I have found a ton of intreseting stuff as well as helped me make a decision on getting one. It's in the mail as we speak so I'm really anxious to get it and quit traditional cigarettes. I want to thank all of you for the great info that you have posted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
