I work for Precor (manufacturer of fitness equipment) in their customer support department as a technical trainer. I teach a seminar in electronics and electromechanical repair for our third party servicers, all over north america. Since I work in the fitness industry, the president of the company is a non-smoker and hates smoking. He has banned smoking anywhere on Precor property, so we have to go stand on a muddy stretch of earth near the railroad tracks. This kind of make you feel outcast and really kind of stupid.

I've been a smoker for more than 30 years, and I smoked a little more than a pack a day. I have been using a machine to fill tubes with tobacco, so talk about being a slave to a habbit. I knew that e-cigs existed but hadn't really thought about it until I saw an ad on a web page. I am smart enough to stay away from those so called free trials attached to those sites, but the information contained there did get me interested. I did a google search for "electronic cigarette" and got plenty of hits for sites to look at. I bought my starter kit from a company called "e-Cigarettes National", and the kit that I purchased was the "Firelight". They made some claims about the atomizer design that made sense to me, so I chose that one. It took 7 whole days for it to get here, so diring that time I was looking on more sites, came here and looked around as a guest, and got lots of great information.

I learned about some of the more popular models, and what other vapers had to say about them, so I desided to find myself a manual battery 510 to try as well. I figured that if I didn't have a good experience with one, I didn't want that to send me right back to analogs, so the 510 is also on it's way. It's a really good thing that I did that, because when the firelight kit finally arrived, one of the batteries was dead. That is the ONLY reason that I was still smoking SOME analogs, because you got to do something while the only one that works is charging. I also bought (from "e-Cigarettes National") a 50ml bottle of medium strength (10mg) tobacco flavored juice that tastes more like maple syrup than tobacco. The one e-cig that does work didn't really produce a whole lot of vapor with the pre-filled carts, so I added some juice, and after I got it wet enough it started producing a nice amout of vapor.

My 510 kit got here in a just 2 days (which is better than the 7 days it took the firelight to get here), so I am totally off analogs, and hooked on vaping. Truely, this is one of the best things I ever did for myself.
