Remember when a good night out ended with sitting around a diner, smoking cigarettes and drinking lousy coffee at 4 in the morning? Nothing else seemed to matter. The entire week consisted of Friday night. Well, smoking cigarettes are banned, the coffee is still lousy and Friday nights became more about traffic than chilling. Times change. What we smoke changed. Most of us traded gold boxes of Marlboros for sleek Mods.
Enter the era of Vaping. In a few short years, this has become the “it” thing. So what is “Vaping?” Vaping is the act of inhaling flavored water vapor through an electric device, sometimes shaped like a cigarette. Vaping is a practice much safer than cigarettes- even when you load a nicotine “juice.” From what I understand vaping eliminates about 4,000 chemical and carcinogenic compounds found in cigarettes. In simpler words the benefits of Vaping are better health, no tobacco or smoke, can be used indoors (ask before you pull), cost effective, and no second hand ramifications. Yes, a new era is upon us.
Vape stations, all the rage on the West Coast, are trending eastbound. The LIB team were welcomed to the Village of Lindenhurst’s Vape Station LI. This shop is set up similarly to your local cigar shop- complete with comfy couches, flat panel TV and guests are welcomed to enjoy these product with the Vape Station Crew.
I am a cigarette smoker. Many consider me a heavy smoker, I don’t think I am. I average about a pack and half a day, give or take, depending on traffic. Recently, I have taken on a hobby of cigars. Regretfully, I admit to smoking a young age- before being a teenager (First was at 11. Steady since 12 years old). My structure craves and needs nicotine. I have attempted to quit before unfortunately I can’t. I become irritable to an excessive level. I have decided to quit smoking cigarettes starting at Vape Haven July 18th, 2015. I plan on leaning on places like The Vape Station LI to help me accomplish this. I do not plan on giving up my cigar a week!
So what do I need? Sean, from the Vape Station LI advised I will need a mod (the base), a comfortable tip (mouthpiece) and interesting E-Juices (water based liquid that can contain nicotine). The initial outlay might be costly but a carton of Marlboro Lights go from $60 something at the reservations to $150 in parts of midtown. That is a week’s worth of “please don’t let me kill this idiot.” After the purchase of the mod the regular cost is the juice. I’m noticing most juices at the Vape Station LI range from $12.99 for a 15ML bottle to $21.99 for a 30 ML bottle.
