Vaping Time - Milestones Reached - Good News!

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.

First juice:

Wow what a wonderful throwback! Those b&h packs were renamed to Kent.

Congrats on being cigarette free - keep on vaping!

I know in SA - but here in Nigeria, it is still B&H. I went from B&H to Kent is SA, but then back to B&H when I came here in 2012. A carton here used to cost the equivalent on R67.

@RenaldoRheeder

I've just come across my message to you which appears not to have been sent. Probably the dogs sidetracked me! I can hardly believe it's only been a year since you started vaping. You're so knowledgeable about everything!

Well done @Patrick , here is some maths that I am no master at though,
  • 58,570 analogues not consumed.
  • 2,928.50 Packets of analogues.
  • 292 cartons of 200
  • 292 at an average rate/cost of R250.00 averaged.
  • R 73,000.00 contribution to your vape budget.
  • Now that is a very reasonable vape budget to have, my guess however is like the rest of us you have allready spent this saving for the 2020 2021 year.
