    It feels so much nicer when you start out. I went from smoking nothing to vapes, which was always fun because it’d hit me like a freight train. Gravity felt like it got 2x heavier and my brain/body felt instant relief.

    Now I feel nothing, yet I keep chasing that high because the brain chemicals tell me I must.

      I’m going on 10 years vaping, started in high school when it was just 1.5% jak and blu pens at gas stations but the first hits were still comparable to the first time an edible kicked in.

      Since I’ve smoked maybe 5 packs worth of cigarettes through college but it was more of a nice beer accessory. After a decade of 5% nicotine vapes they don’t really give a buzz.

      Kicking it for a prolonged amount of time is a pain in the ass. Physicals say lungs sounds fit as a fiddle so I just keep to reputable juice brands and replace cartridges often.
