I hadn't heard that.

First off: Damn!

Second: That's some pretty solid luck, and I'm very glad to hear it.

Third: Congratulations on quitting smoking.

It's good to hear from you, Scott.

Damn indeed! My Dad recently survived that same heartattack and his 100% blockage was cleared in about just as quick.

Did you get a Medtronic stent put in? My dad works at Gore (they make heart-attack stents and graphs) and was devastated to find they put a rival company's stent in him LOL.

Glad to hear you came through and also quit smoking to boot. Nice work!

Thats awesome to hear salty, i hope his recovery has gone as well as mine. I couldn't tell you what stent i have, just that it definitely did the trick as i feel 10 years younger.

(Im happy to share more details to anyone interested as it was a hell of an experience) So.... i had my last cigarette at 7:45am June 7th. When i got home i got a Vuse e-cig and although it covered the nicotine, it was not satisfying and a pain in the ass to maintain. My son had tried vaping and didn't like it so he gave me his Kangertech Subvod and i started vaping at 3mg nicotine. I did that for a couple of weeks and bought a Smok stick V8 and i LOVE it! Like Festus said in the first post, the flavors are amazing! Not to mention, there are no more ashes all over my desk and keyboard, the disgusting cigarette smell is no longer in the house and on my clothes, no more flicking a rogue cherry in the car burning my sixty dollar dress pants on the way to a meeting.

So, that said, anybody switch up there rig? What have you ended up liking the best? Mods, flavors, brands of juice or coils... whatever.

Holy Crap!!

So glad to hear you are ok. Scary shit.
Keep up the good work on the no-smoking. Vaping makes it pretty painless, and breathing, smelling , and tasting again are some other good benefits.

As for flavors....I like the Blueberry Chill and the Strawberry Chill. I didn't smoke menthols, but I like the mentholy "chill" juices.

Thanks Dex. We like the Strawberry stuff. So far we've tried F*ck ISIS, Strawburst and SiverBacks Sandy, which is a strawberry melon. I LOVE Skwezed green apple though. And last night, i found out the vape shop had a bunch of juices on clearance so i got a 0mg Raspberry Champagne that is awesome, and a 0mg Fruit punch. I also bought the wife a Smok priv-v8, pretty sweet little mod with a Baby tank on it.

Glad to see some of you guys are finally catching up with the times! I picked up this GX350 earlier this year, totally overkill but it's been really reliable compared to my last few mods. Plus the battery life is pretty impressive, but with 4 batteries I suppose most mods would do well in that aspect lol.

Also yes I'm clearly working very hard tonight.
