I figured tonight (Actually 4 in the morning) I would enlighten your thoughts with some of mine, and my first Vaping experience. So grab your VAPE, put on your PJ’s and gather round; It’s STORY TIME!
As you bloggers may know, I was a heavy smoker. This is how it all began: I smoked my first cigarette at the age of eleven, and essentially hooked from the very first drag. I don’t claim to have been a regular smoker till age 19, but this day implanted the cigarette appeal initially. I would sneak cigs from my Dad’s girlfriend’s purse, swipe packs from bar counters, sneak purchases from vending machines (Yes I was born in the 80’s), or just plain steal carton’s from the circle k’s back cage. Yeah, I was a punk. My friends and I would smoke them in the Austin Hillcountry’s woods, or at school. Within the first 6 weeks of 6th grade, we got caught on campus grounds. BUSTED! (Deep shit with the Pops)
I smoked off and on till the age of 19 and went full-time smoker; half a pack every day without fail for the next 8 years. It wasn’t till I was living in New York, that I witnessed for the first time an electronic cigarette in 2009. I wish I had embraced the e-cig back then as I estimate wasting seven THOUSAND dollars on tobacco since. And it was this year in Salt Lake City that I switched over, and began appreciating flavored nicotine vapor.
I decided to purchase my first 900 mAh Ego Passthrough Battery, a CE4 clearomizer, and two juices: Irish Cream and Robust Tobacco Flavor for just under 45 bucks. I can remember the day, fresh as the falling snow outside my frosty window. Much Like a retiree reminiscing over a childhood memory as he sips hot chocolate in front of a cozy fire. I was standing outside a Wasatch Pizzeria, puffing on a smooth Irish Cream Flavour. The first puff was astonishing… WOW! And after a few more, a feeling of relief overcame me as I began to satisfy that nic craving. After about the 10th puff, I felt a complete satisfaction equating to that of a full cigarette. However, I still had half a pack of smokes in my right pocket.
From that day on, I was smoking only about 2-5 cigs a day down from a full pack daily. The following few weeks I slipped here and again until one day I thought to myself, “If I can only grab that Ego C-Twist first thing in the morning to bi-pass the first craving of the day (The strongest) and reach for that instead of a pack, I may have this thing licked. So I did, and here I sit today; over one full month SMOKE-FREE. In fact, it was around the same time that Michael and I fathomed the Site Name … and viola! CRAZY VAPES is here today.
