Jeannie K has become a dear friend of mine since we met last year. We are both very dedicated to helping people when they first make the switch from smoking to vaping. I have been a guest on her radio show, The Jeannie K Show, a couple times and try to tune in every Thursday at Vapers Place. She is one of the most enthusiastic people I know and just loves everyone she meets. I had the good pleasure of meeting up with her face to face at Vapercon in November. I can tell you that she puts her whole heart into helping the vaping community.



ECA: How were you introduced to vaping?

Jeannie: I suffered a pulmonary embolism in December of 2009 and spent nine days in ICU. I knew I had to quit smoking. My husband actually found ecigs for me. I purchased a Blu which I received on 1/8/2010 and have been vaping ever since.

ECA: What jobs have you held?

Jeannie: I worked as a bartender/manager while I lived in Dallas, TX and after moving back up north I started factory work and my own graphics company. I developed medical issues that required me to become V V (I have a spinal cord stimulator implant at c4 in my neck, battery in my back, and a remote to adjust my voltage.)….. yes, I am V V and come with a remote. Mute was not an available option, the hubby asked.

ECA: What made you decide to start your own radio show?

Jeannie: A friend I met at the PECSmokeshop.com forum named Stubear introduced me to ElixirTV in 2010 and suggested I start a show to help new vapers. I have been part of the community ever since. I really enjoy the radio show on VPLive as it lets me interact with the listeners via the open phone lines and the live chat. Helping is the reason I do shows. After all, saving lives is what this community is all about. I am a firm believer in PIF (pay it forward) and this is how I can do that.

ECA: Who is your favorite vaper and why?

Jeannie: BasilRay is one of the most down to earth drama free Hosts I have met in vaping. He is never too busy to answer questions and never acts “famous” even though he is. I would have to say NurseCin is my favorite vaper though, as she is one of the first real life friends I developed in the vaping world. Picking one is a very hard thing to do as I have made so many friends through vaping. All of them are important to me.

ECA: How many mods (electronic cigarettes) do you own?

Jeannie: Oh no! That is a pretty personal question….. ummm well, not enough? Can I slide by with that for an answer? Do eGo’s count? [email protected]#$% ok, 15 or so if you don’t count eGo’s.

ECA: What has made you so dedicated to helping new vapers?

Jeannie: We all started somewhere and had tons of questions. I do not mind repeating my self over and over and someone has to. No new vapers should feel out of place asking those questions and I am happy to answer them or find someone that can. The more knowledge we pass to new vapers the more this community thrives. Showing them the easy way around the horrid mistakes I made as a new vaper may just help ease their entry to vaping. Things are always easier when you know you are not alone. It also helps them to have a laugh over the stories told by others.

ECA: Do you think there could be life on another planet?

Jeannie: Yep. Sure do. I can not look at all the stars in the sky and be arrogant enough to believe we are the start and finish.

ECA: What is your favorite juice and from which vendor?

Jeannie: Flaming Pearl from PBDragon

ECA: What is the worst present you’ve ever received?

Jeannie: I was a tomboy, always. I would have to say the oddest gift I ever got was a set of cabbage patch twins. Most girls my age REALLY wanted them. I did NOT.

ECA: Have you attended any Vape Meets and which ones are you attending in the near future?

Jeannie: I have been to both VaperCon meets, which were FANTASTIC! We also just had the first WNY meetup at TheHouseofVapor.com in Buffalo, NY. That was a great meet also. I am hoping to get to a meet in the fall. If I hit the lottery, I will be at many (not all) of them.

ECA: Do you prefer dogs or cats and why?

Jeannie: I have both but prefer dogs. If I drop dead tonight, the cat LittleShit would eat me. Ruger, the puppy, would stand guard over me. Dogs need you. The cat could care less as long as there is food in the dish.

ECA: Who is your favorite reviewer?

Jeannie: Hands down winner is toddecigreviews. His reviews always make me laugh. He also usually messes up and ends up cussing (man after my own heart there).

ECA: Where did you grow up?

Jeannie: Two blocks from where I am right now. Born and raised in Shinglehouse, PA.

ECA: Have you ever worn your pajamas to the store?

Jeannie: Flannel pants and a hoodie? Who hasn’t? Slippers and a housecoat on the other hand NO!

ECA: What do you predict is the future of ecigs?

Jeannie: I am hoping for the better. Better performance from our devices and acceptance as a safer alternative to smoking. We have a fight on our hands. But I think if we can not fight with each other and use that energy instead to fight ignorance in government and the FDA, we can win.

Peace, Love, Vape
