“Welcome to the vape life.” When I heard that I thought to myself “these people are crazy it’s just vaping.” I just wanted to stop smoking hookah and do some cool tricks. Found myself going to the vape shop more and more and soon after that I was lucky enough to get a job in the vape industry. Thought it was going to be like any other job, just work and collect a check. It started to become more than just a job to me. I love it all, learning about new mods, new juice. Meeting new people, helping them stop with cigarettes and seeing the difference in them once they’ve committed to vaping. It honestly is amazing to see how much more happy they are and how it helped them. Being apart of and helping someone make life changing decisions.

  So I just dove right into the vape game, working vapor-con and going to vape competitions it’s amazing. Hearing their stories of how they smoked for 20 plus years then switching to vaping, how they feel and the breath and the seeing how much it means to them. People in the vape community are amazing and we all want the same goal, to help anyone and everyone convert to vaping. This industry has taken off in the past few years and more and more people are joining the vape life everyday. I hope it stays just as active and strong as this community is now. I know everyone in the community has their own amazing story, that has an incredible impact on their lives. Happy I joined the “vapelyfe”.
