As a smoker for the past 27 years, New Leaf is the best thing that's happened to me! Thanks to our…read moreawesome CM's review, Allie A., I found this wonderful shop. I'm proud to say that after 2 1/2 weeks, I'm down to only one cigarette per day. Even after the first day of vaping, I was down to only 2-3 cigarettes a day. As for now, I can't seem to let go of that one cigarette in the morning when I first wake up, but I do know it's going to be gone soon!
Allie A. spoke very highly of Danielle, so when I first went to the store, I asked for her and she definitely hooked me up. She is so sweet and just cute as a button! Vaping can be a little confusing at first - trying to understand all the different components, flavours, etc. But Danielle explained it all so well and didn't even mind repeating herself when I asked her the same question several times. She truly cared and wanted me to understand everything.
I have now been in the store on 5 separate occasions and I've had a chance to interact with many of the employees. Like Danielle, they are all warm, friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and helpful.
They have many different flavours and they are more than happy to let you try as many as you like. I think at this point, I've tried darn near every one of them! Other than the Cinn-A-Bon flavour, which I vape all by itself, I mix all my other favourite flavours such as: peach, strawberry, and pina colada, pineapple and pina colada, and coffee mixed with vanilla. My hubby's favourite mixture is bluberry and bad monkey (banana). It's kinda funny because my hubby has never been a smoker, but he kept stealing my e-cig and vaping it because he liked the way it tastes. I finally got tired of him snitching it, so we went and bought one for him. BTW: All the flavours do come in non-nicotine too.
As for the nicotine, It comes in different levels in the flavours depending on how much you smoke per day. Don't worry, they'll go over all that with you in the store and get you at your perfect level. I apparently get just the right amount of nicotine from mine because since I started vaping, I have had no nicotine withdrawals, cravings, etc. That darn morning cig I still have is simply out of habit!
The store itself is very cool and welcoming. It's large and open with couches. There's a long counter with barstools, so you can have a seat to try the flavours. I never just pop in and out. I always pull up a barstool and chat it up with Danielle and some of the other employees for at least half hour or so. Also, you have to check out the floor in the restroom at least once - it's completely made out of pennies - very neat!
Not only is vaping better for me than cigarettes (my neurologist even verified this fact for me last week and allowed me to vape right there in the exam room in front of him), but I love the fact I can vape pretty much anywhere. I've been in countless stores, restaurants, and even several malls - not once have I been asked to stop.
It's water vapor, not smoke, so it doesn't bother anyone!
If you're a smoker, I HIGHLY recommend you head to New Leaf immediately and give vaping a try! It's also much easier on your wallet than cigarettes!
If you buy a new, complete set-up, mention that I sent you from Yelp and you'll get a $5.00 discount!
