Owner: Katherine Thurk
In 2013, Katie Thurk was on vacation in Texas and was introduced to electronic cigarettes. Katie had been a smoker of traditional cigarettes for years. Since trying the electronic cigarette, she has not had a regular cigarette.
Her fascination with them started immediately. Here was a product that functioned just like a cigarette, only without any of the smoke, tar, ash and odor. Powered by batteries, e-cigarettes produce a vapor that looks like real smoke and simulates the hand-to-mouth motions of cigarettes. When trying to quit smoking, what to do with ones hands is one of the hardest things for ex-smokers to deal with.
Not only was Katie turned on to electronic cigarettes because of the benefits she is seeing in her health, but the cost of them is much more inexpensive as well. A weeks’ supply for an electronic cigarette can run you as little as $6.00 per week – well under one tenth the cost of a carton of regular cigarettes.
Katie knew immediately there were many others in her home town of New London that could benefit from the cost savings of switching to electronic cigarettes. Therefore she has started her own business, Change Up Vape, where she is selling electronic cigarette starter kits and all the components to go with them.
