Do you yourself vape and if so when did you start vaping and what was your greatest motivation to start vaping?:
richie:
Oh yea. I’m the main taste tester, lol. Around 2 years ago. Like so many other people, to stop smoking.

If you were a smoker, have you stayed true to vaping or have you ever returned to smoking? :
richie:
Its been hard. I grew up on a tobacco farm. The smell of tobacco while its curing is one of my all time favorite aromas. I know there are a lot of “tobacco” juices on the market, and i tried a lot of them when I first started vaping. i didn’t like any of them. Here at River Rock Vapes I am working on a tobacco flavor that truly reminds me of the tobacco barns.
