PEACH ATKINSON

Dorset
Peach currently works in the industry and has been a vaper for years . She made the switch to vaping after she became interested in stopping smoking .
“ I started smoking when I was about 18 years old and was a smoker for about five years until my doctor suggested that I switch to vaping instead . I have never looked back since then .”
She feels vaping has made a big difference to not just her health but her social life too . “ Vaping made a difference to my life in every way imaginable . It has made me feel physically better as I don ’ t get so out of breath and I ’ m not coughing as much . “ All of those things go hand in hand with quitting smoking . Vaping has opened up many doors for me even socially . I have met people through it including people all over the world . My mum is American so every time we go out there , I visit the vape shops and it ’ s opened up a lot of friendships for me , which is great .” As most vapers do , over the years , she started to amass a collection of devices . “ The one I use most is the Lost Vape Orion Plus , it ’ s a little pod system . In terms of liquids then I have been absolutely stuck on Innevape ’ s Carousel .” Peach is looking forward to providing information for new vapers through her reviews . “ I enjoy writing but then , another massive reason is that if someone picks up the magazine and reads a review , they may choose that device or e-liquid . If it helps just one person quit or cut down on cigarettes then to me , this is a nice feeling .” She understands how complicated the vape world can be for new vapers looking to potentially quit . “ It ’ s incredibly daunting . In my case , when I left that doctor ’ s appointment and went to a vape shop , I didn ’ t realise the masses of different devices , combinations and everything . It can be very overwhelming .”
