It's been about a year since I "quit" smoking.

I put "quit" in quotes because I didn't quit the habits or gestures(though I did quit the nicotine), I just switched to a different satisfaction called "vaping." You may have heard of electronic cigarettes, and you've probably seen people using them while out and about. If you're a smoker and you're tired of stinking, give them a try!
There are some DOs and DON'Ts when getting started that I would like to share with you.

DO

• research what you want and what your options are. Do you want a cigarette sized device or does form factor not bother you that much?
• research multiple vendors and look at reviews in reputable places.
• go to the e-cigarette-forum and ask any questions you may have in the newbie section. 
• ask me if you have any questions. I'd be glad to help you out!

DON'T

• get one from the mall. They're generally overpriced and not very good hardware.
• spend more than 50 dollars starting out unless the vaping community recommends the product and vendor.
• expect it to feel exactly like smoking. It doesn't, but it's very close. 
• and I mean DO NOT order anything if you're underage. 18 and up means 18 and up. 

I'll post more later about my personal preferences.
