Vaping Time - Milestones Reached - Good News!

Two years today full-time no cigs for me!

After trying so many times to quit, vaping is what go me here. Having started on 18mg juice and a REALLY shitty starter kit in 2013, I gave up and went back to rolling.

In 2016 a friend told me that things had changed drastically, I gave it another go, and here we are :) The change in physical health is amazing. I feel great!

Thanks to the community: for just existing as a resource, having helped me navigate the depths of understanding and having turned a smoking cessation device into a hobby.

Congrats on the 2 years @piffht !
Great achievement and well done for returning to vaping after a break

I know it's not long but since getting on the right vaping devices going from a Twisp Clearo, it's been 7 months since I quitted cigarettes. Diy juices certainly helped a lot.

Yeah two years because of a crap Twisp - burning too many coils and I didn't know better then. Til my friend told me about cheap juices and I got interested In the variety of vaping devices.

Vapeking was my first purchase of the eleaf iJust S and the rabbit hole got bigger lol
 
Today is a big day for me. One year ago I walked into Vaperite Port Elizabeth to give this vaping thing a try. I knew very little about vaping. @Rob Fisher initially made me aware of vaping, but since vaping is not a "thing" here in Nigeria, I actually had no way to even consider it at that stage.

At that stage I had been smoking for about 40 years and some days up to 60 cigs a day. I had tried every method known to mankind (at least to me) to giveup the addiction with zero success.

So I didn't immediately go off cigs completely and had a few setbacks on the way, but here I am today completely cigfree

This is where I started

Since that day it has been a Rollercoaster ride through vaping 101: commercial coils, own coil making, RTAs, RDAs, DIY juice making, normal regulated mods, squonking, touched on mech mods and ran away, and here I am now

Waiting in SA for me (mostly with my best vaping friend @TheV) is 9 different mods - including mechs (Limelights and Reos) to give it a real try again.

Thank you to all the girls and guys of ECIGSSA for being such a great and supportive bunch - there are too many to list by name (and I will forget some names).

Looking forward to the next year of vaping

Oh - and my trophy :

This is the last carton of cigs that I bought, and then I beat the *****. Unopened and a reminder of a battle won.

Oh and here are some of my firsts

First juice:

First coil built on my first RTA (Serpent SMM)
