Testimonials
Started smoking at young age, tries many times to quit but failed. Since vaping I have been feeling much better and my health improved ten fold.
I was smoking since the age of 17 and converted at the age of 40, since then i am smoke free, cough free and i do not stink anymore. Furthermore my well being has improved and i am a brand ambasador for my mixing supply store. I am curently doing everything in my might to convert smokers into vapers and has succesfully done so.
Started smoking when I was in primary school. Tried to quit a couple of times but only lasted one or two days. Took me 2 weeks smoking and vaping to put the cigarettes down and never touched it again
I just woke up one morning and desided to try vape and yes I stopped smoking there and then
I switched to vaping 6 years ago. My lungs from cigarettes were heavy. I switched to vaping and I have never felt better. My taste and smell came back. I had to go for xrays and my lungs are clear!
I had many failed attempts at quitting smoking. with varying levels of success. 4 months here 1 year there, but eventually I would find myself smoking again. when I quit the last time, my relapse instead of going back to smoking I went to vaping. I went from between 10 to 15 smokes a day even buying illegal smokes in lockdown to vaping to cold turkey, something that happened many times before the difference is every other time, I would go back to smoking after managing to quit. with Vaping I managed to actually stay off smokes.
Vaping definitely saved my life. I have never been healthier. I currently vape Rebuildable Boro devices as this has also become my hobby and hopefully an income source for me in the future.
if it was not for me switching to vaping I doubt I'd be here today, I was in a bad state health wise due to smoking, vaping literally saved my life
Smoked due to work stressors, switched to vaping and would never look back
I was on cigarettes for 8byears before making the switch over to Vaping... Since I have made the decision to switch to vaping not only do I feel alot healthier but I do not see myself craving and using the product as much as I smoked cigarettes
