Testimonials
I prefer vape over smoking cigarettes since I switched over my health is much better and I would like to state that vape saved my life.
I smoked for more than 20 years and tried to quit several times with no success until I decided to completely switch to vaping which I successfully did in June 2016 and never looked back to the cigarettes. I weaned myself off nicotine very progressively and vaped nicotine free for about 4 years. I completely quit this year and I've never felt better before. I'm so grateful and so proud to have won the battle against nicotine addiction.
I feel way better now not no need for tobacco products.
I have a asthma and had a lot of trouble with my chest back I the day doctors always told me stop smoking cigarettes but it was hard for me. Then I had an life changing experience the day my father called me and told me he needs to speak to me. I decided to stop smoking cigarettes 14 years ago after my father passed away of cancer. The process was hard because I was smoking a lot so I started vaping after a friend told me about vaping and I can honestly say today I can't even remember the last time I needed to go to the doctor because of my asthma. I'm still vaping today but I don't vape as much as I smoked cigarettes. Pro's after I stop smoking cigarettes. Better sense of smell Better sense of taste Better sleep at night because I don't get up and smoke in the middle of the night Overall I feel much healthier. Vaping saved my life 100%.
Started having a morning cough. A friend introduced me to vaping and I loved the flavor. Took me exactly 10 days to quit smoking all together, with the help from a vape shop.
