This is my vapeing time line as follows.
I’m 46 now and had smoked for 25 years until I was diagnosed with non hodjkins lymphoma in 2007 at the age of 41. I was stage three so the cancer team ran me through all the tests and started chemo within 3 weeks. I continued to smoke but felt I was trying to counter all the team was doing to save my life.
Well after 6 heavy chemo rounds I started on to 25 hits of radiation to my left neck, the original site, which was 8 cm. After all that I moved closer to the cancer center and low and behold, I walked into a tavern that sold 401 starter kits and me and my girlfriend each bought one for a total of $115.00.
I was able to cut my analog consumption in half in three weeks but she gave up. I cruised through the net and found ECF and Puresmokers Prodigy soon to be released. I got one but I don’t think many of us were ready to throw 5 Volts onto a 2.3 Ohm 510 atty. My capacitor cooked and I sent it back. I then found electronicstix and bought a 510 kit and it was great. My analog use was down to 5-10 a day. I bought 2 Janty Sticks and mostly enjoyed the 801 atomizers on my power supply at 4.5 Volts.
Any way, I got into buying mods bigtime, GGTS, GGTB, GG SLIM, Prodigy, the Don, and many others to help keep me off the weeds… One note, Out of all the VV devices I have used, and sold, I would recommend just using a 510 lr, (1.5) Ohm atomizer on a imr battery for great vapor. I felt I had to do too much math to figure out why my mod said I couldn’t do what I wanted. I don’t like that. Mechanical mods are my staple now, as a matter of fact, I just sold my Provari mini on ECF tonite.
Thought I give the v2 a shot but it bossed me around too much also. Seems that the Ohms creep down and you get a E1, E2 and thankfully I sold it before I threw it out of the window. I have been vapeing exclusively for 2 1/2 years now and help others to discover the tobacco harm reduction benefits of vapeing. Although my cancer has come back, I feel it could be worse if I didn’t turn to vapeing.
And Phil,… Oh Phil,… You do make me laugh with your light hearted jokes while you do reviews and they are so informative! I already know what works for me and am getting into REAtties more and more,I got an Ody for my pro mini… Anywhoo… Thank you PB for the great reviews and the fun manner in which you present them! And thanx for all the other pioneer e-cig reviewers like GrimmGreen, Igetcha69…hmm, whats the 69 for?, and Leaford, the cat with all the birds… where did he go??? So keep up the good work Phil and I always pass on to noobs your, and the others YouTube channels to help get them started feeling better! Love you all….
