My Journey into Vaping
A beginners guide to vaping by a beginning vaper What I want to do on these following pages is to share my experience as a beginning vaper to other beginning vapers. Yes I know there are a ton of “beginner” videos and articles floating around about vaping. However none of them really answered all the questions I had. Nor did they answer them in the way I would have liked. If that were the case I would not have tried all the various things I did up to this point. My goal here is to give my views and opinions as a fairly new vaper. These are the questions I would have wanted to ask, had I known more to start. Let me make it clear I am far from an “experienced” vaper, I am not a professional writer, nor am I scientist, doctor, or electrical engineer. I am not a web designer and have never "blogged" before. So before you start critiquing my poor little website or correcting my grammar and spelling keep something in mind. I am spending hours of my time researching, doing tests, and typing all this out. On top of it trying to figure out how to make a simple website and blog so I don't have to post it to Face book. Telling me how much I suck is not exactly going to inspire me lol. Which is too bad because it could ruin it for those that find the information useful. That being said, if I am wrong about any facts feel free to comment or correct me. And if you have factual evidence to the contrary I would always love to see it. I am always willing to learn and admit if I am wrong. Hell, even if you have a strong opinion about something feel free to share. Especially if you are a store owner or professional reviewer like Phil, Grimgreen or Dimitris. I would love to hear your feedback. All I can give you is my opinions based on what have I learned in six months and gleaned from others. I will note however that once I get interested in something I am very avid about it and do a lot of research. I have read a ton of info, talked to many with much more experience than I, and have watched probably hundreds of hours of videos related to reviews, technical aspects and scientific studies. While I consider myself FAR from an expert I do consider myself fairly informed. And also being fairly new to it I still have that connection and understanding of how confusing and bewildering it can be for someone asking “ok, what is an E cig?”. I have no affiliation with any vendor, store, or online sales. Nor am I writing this for a commercial Vaping website of any kind. So I have no agenda or pressure to sugar coat anything to sway you towards using an E cig or a certain product. If there is something about vaping I don't like, I will tell you. If there is a product I don't like, you will get my opinion on it. Or if I have tried a particular product or read of something I think is worth a look I will say so. If you want to try one, awesome, I would love to see others be healthier, especially those that are close to me. But if you want to keep on smoking cigs, feel free. It won't really effect me one way or another. Well, unless you roll the window down in my car when its freezing cold to smoke a cigarette, that makes me a little cranky. I like a warm car. I probably won't say anything though, and I certainly won't shove you out the door for it. I am also not your typical vaper in that I wasn't a heavy smoker that used e cigs to stop smoking or switch over. I was an occasional off and on smoker/social smoker for over 20 years. At my heaviest I probably smoked 5 cigs a day, I liked the occasional cigar and dabbled in smoking a pipe. I mainly got into the e cig thing to try and help someone close to me quit smoking, and I ended up liking it. For ME, it was everything I was looking for in a good cigar or smoking a pipe without all the hassle and bad effects of tobacco. Now that we know what I am trying to accomplish lets continue with our journey. Select any of the buttons on this page that say "The Basics" to continue. |
