Mathéo : the vape, there are only advantages!

Smoker Profile

Today aged 22, Mathéo started smoking 5 years ago already.

“Because my friends all used to smoke, I started when I was 17. Consuming only 1-1.5 packs a week, I was not a big smoker. But smoking makes everything stink – clothes, breath and fingers”.

Mathéo tried to quit in the past from will alone, but failed at every attempt.

Moving to Vaping

Mathéo’s remained unconvinced, despite the fact that his best friend, who already switched 3 years earlier, had allowed him to test his equipment. “I had a quick go on his, but I could not fathom how this could replace cigarettes. For me, vaping was more like a hobby, not a way to stop smoking”. Mathéo was also concerned that acquiring all the material needed would be very costly.

On April 15th, 2018, he started his work for Sweetch as web master. He arrived with his pack of cigarettes in his bag. But as all his new colleagues were vaping at their work stations, there was nobody to go out with for a smoke. More was not needed for him to say to himself “let’s give it a try!”

Key next steps and new sensations

To start with, he acquired a eGo AIO, with a rather fresh e-liquid, the Watermelon Mix of VDLV – at a level of 6mg of nicotine.

“My first impression was very cool. It tasted strong enough, smelled nice wherever – in the car, at home. Away with the stink!”

During a month, it suited him fine, except following meals, where he found it more difficult to resist the attraction of a cigarette. Mathéo was looking for stronger sensations, and a higher hit in the throat – he needed stronger equipment.

One morning, he forgot his e-cigarette at home. Too risky to spend a day without vaping, as the temptation for a cigarette could have grown too strong. So he tried a more powerful box – the Swag of Vaporesso. “Grey, super design, I loved it immediately. With a new sweeter liquid – the Summer Juice of Vapur. Fit perfectly with drinking coffee.”

Today Mathéo is a fan. “There are only advantages to vaping. Fingers don’t smell of cigarettes any longer. I am no longer smoking, but am not putting on any weight – which is normally the case when you quit smoking. I feel great, and have even bought an Orca for my wife, to help her quit too.”

While on vacation last summer, he tried a cigarette again, but it felt dreadful. “Going back to smoking today is simply impossible for me. The way I feel after 4 months, it would actually be more difficult to start smoking again. I would be too disappointed in myself”.

Equipment

An eGo Aio during the first month. Then the Swag, that was unfortunately stolen. To replace it, Mathéo chose the Cascade SE. "I like it, even if generates a lot of vapor. At the office, I would prefer being more discreet, so will probably switch to a Pod. In the evening, especially when going out and having a few drinks, I prefer something more powerful. In order to feel the better hit in the throat."

Mathéo's dream: indulgence in a Dotbox 75W that he finds simply beautiful.

Best advice within Sweetch

It came from his colleague Florian from the very beginning: "Vape for the pleasure of it, not because you must."

My message to beginners

Start with a rather small equipment, to check and test, but then rapidly move to something more powerful on a new model. If not, you risk not feeling enough power and moving back to smoking."
