The Transformation of the Queen

When I started vaping, I took the road that many veteran vapers take. I went down to my local convenience store and I picked up a cute little cig-a-like.

How many of you did exactly the same thing?

I won't divulge the brand of this cig-a-like here, but it was black with a glowing blue tip.

The packaging was horrendous, and I'm pretty sure I broke three nails just getting the confounded thing open. Originally, I bought it because I wanted to have a way to "smoke" when I couldn't smoke.

Ya get me?

I tried it out. I coughed and I sputtered, and I thought, "No way, man! This ain't happenin'!" Of course, I kept on trying, and before long my lungs got used to the different kind of hit. Lo and behold, I realized I was actually learning to enjoy vaping that little cig-a-like more than smoking real cigarettes. I thought I'd have a go at quitting analogs completely, and honestly the switch wasn't terrible. A few weeks later, I quit the cig-a-like too.

Of course, that quit didn't last very long, and one day I just had a terrible craving for a smoke...and I gave in.

Back to the drawing board.

The next time I tried quitting, I went to the cig-a-like again, and I didn't do too bad. However, I couldn't get past the fact that I had heard so much about these electronic cigarettes that were rechargeable, and people said they were way better.

For real? Way better? Count me in!

I visited the local vape shop that had just opened up and I bought myself a purple eGo T. It was pretty big (1100mAh), but the guy said I'd get used to it.

Man, was he right!

Before long, I had left the cig-a-like behind for good. I immersed myself in trying all kinds of juices, and it wasn't long before I found one I easily considered an excellent choice for an ADV.

As you know, when it comes to vaping, it's difficult to stop once you get started. I started doing some online browsing, and it wasn't long before I found my brand-new best friend.

What was it?

Stay tuned! The answer to that question deserves a post all its own!
