Finally, the day has come!

After much waiting and anticipation this past week, it is  finally here. Today I will purchase a starter kit of the mid level vaping variety.

Up until now I have tried the Blu disposable brand, the Blu starter kit and some kit long ago forgotten. They did not quite do it for me. They had promise and definitely kept me interested in this venture. However, my goal is to quit smoking real cigarettes and somehow be able to do it that is not so hard. I find it very difficult to quit smoking.

So, after several years, a new store opens up near me that sells vaping equipment. It is only 3 miles from my home and I would not have to order things online and wait for them to arrive. I am very impatient like that.

So, I went and checked this new store out last Tuesday. They let me try their variety of juice flavors on their equipment. I puffed away to my heart's content trying every flavor that looked interesting to me. I was in the frame of mind, like most, that I wanted something that tasted like a cigarette. I somehow already knew that was not really going to be how it was. Vaping is totally different than smoking from that standpoint.

I found myself enjoying this watermelon flavor. I never thought I would like something like that. Like I said above, always searching for that real cigarette taste. The hit to the back of my throat was excellent and the vapor this thing produced was awesome. Unfortunately, it was 4 days from payday and I did not have enough money to purchase their kit that day. However, I knew this felt right and I knew I was going to come back and get it.

I left there feeling I had found the answer to my problem. How do I quit smoking and do it in a way that is not so painful. I was shocked that up to an hour after leaving that store, I had no desire for a cigarette. Hooray!

So, very impatiently waiting all week to get paid, I searched the internet high and low for every piece of information that I could find out about vaping. Geez, there is a LOT of information about this subject and a LOT of different varieties of equipment. I literally spent 4 hours every day learning about this new subject.

I learned that the starter kit I was going to purchase was a little bit more expensive than what I could get online, but subtracting shipping and waiting time, it was worth it to me to spend the extra money.

Purchase time: 12:01pm I am at their door as they had just opened for the day at noon. The guy at the counter went over everything with me and I left at 12:45pm with my first kit and two bottles of e-juice.

I went home and charged the batteries. My wife and I were leaving for a short two day trip to the northern part of Florida at 3:00pm so I had to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. I still had almost a full pack of regular cigarettes in my pocket so I was not worried if everything did not go according to plan.

So, it is now 5:00pm and I have not yet had a regular cigarette. I am sure I will have one at some point, but right now, the vaping is working fine for me. I have no real desire for a cigarette at the moment.

We will see how this continues, but I am thinking I am on the path to freedom from these oxygen sucking coffin nails.

Welcome to Florida Vaping!

I am glad you stopped by.

If you are reading this you are probably in one of three categories:

• You are totally new to vaping and "electronic cigarettes" and you are looking for more information
• You have been introduced to vaping and have done a little bit with it yourself but you still need more information
• You are an experienced vaper just looking around the web and this site popped up on Google

No matter what category you fall into, I am hopeful that this blog can bring you some information and answer the large amount of questions that all new vapers will have and at the same time provide some entertainment and fun in general!

I started this blog for that reason. I recently found vaping again and decided I wanted to talk about it and help get more information out across the web for people that are looking for answers.

You can check out more about how I got into the vaping world on my About Me page. I am sure many others have similar stories. It is one great thing about the vaping community- we all have similar backgrounds and troubles with quitting real cigarettes in the past.

I hope you enjoy the site and although at this writing we are new, there will be much more to come.
