Mr. B…first off we miss you up here in sunny upstate NY. I wanted to take a minute to personally thank you (and Dimitris) for your dedication on the Smoker’s show. I have follow you for a long time. The first time I viewed your channel I remember it being a very dimly lit video 🙂
Have been a long time vaper and hated to admit I was both a vaper and a smoker for almost 9 years. Over the last few years I had eased up on all the reviews and YouTube videos and continued to both vape and smoke. I did, however, cut my cig intake from over two packs a day to less than one. Then I saw the Smokers Show series an started watching. Loved it!
Well, a couple months ago I found out I am going to be a grandfather. Since I had thousands invested in all this fancy vape gear I needed to figure something out. I had smoked for over 40 years. My daughter always begged me to quit, if not for me…for her. Even my sister begged me to quit. Then both kind of gave up. Now, my baby girl is grown and going to have a baby. Whoa. I really needed to wake up!
I turned to you and Dimi and the show. No fancy cloud formations. No flashing mods or quadruple twisted overturned bee hive staple tank track coils…just a support forum and the topic of getting off cigs. I feared not having a cigarette handy, and the escape that smoking gave me. You guys helped me through that.
I have a grandchild on the way, tomorrow we find out the gender. All the family around. And I will be waking into that party not having had a cigarette in almost 5 weeks. Maybe it’s not that big of a deal for most, but after over 40 years it becomes a part of you. A bad part, but a part nonetheless. It’s a huge deal for me. My family knows that as well.
For the first time in a LONG time my daughter gave me a big meaningful hug. It meant the world to me. And tomorrow, I can tell my sister that it’s been 5 weeks. It IS a big deal for me. I never thought I could really do it. The fight isn’t over yet. I still crave, but you guys have helped me occupy my mind with “proper” vaping.
I don’t think you guys really understand how much we appreciate what you do and what you stand for. And I can’t begin to describe it. But THANK YOU for the support and the content! So far, I did it!
I am on a renewed mission now to get my friends to try what I should have a long time ago. I won’t part with my Z Biip, but I have lent a couple of them a few of my pods. Haven’t seen them back yet, but they are trying. And watching your past episodes. One said she was binge watching. Lol.
Honestly, I don’t care if I see my stuff back again because one of them was having a horrible reaction to Chantix. Won’t go into detail, but it hurt to see one of my employees try so hard to quit so she can have necessary surgery…and struggle with that med. Chantix may work for some and that’s great. But not her nor my step daughter.
Glad to say Kim stopped Chantix and is vaping on the device I gave her. And happy. She has cut her nic level down to 6mg and plans to go lower! Her doctor called me and told me that he’d deny ever speaking with me…but thanked me. Felt good.
So good that I’d give all the gear I have to see that! Anyway, sorry for the run on again but finally…doing what I have wanted to. Quit smoking myself AND getting others to give it a try.
