Vaping
« on: August 23, 2013, 02:01:02 PM »
Anyone else quit the smokes using one of these? I have to say I am quite impressed with it haven't even thought about smoking a ciggy since I started using it, can feel my lungs are getting a lot better when I am doing any sort of sport.

Aren't you really just changing one habit for another? I quit "cold turkey" when I turned 30. First 48 hours were bad, but after that it became almost easy.

I spent 80 bucks or so on the Blu Ecig and it just don't get the job done for me. The tobacco flavor tastes like crap. I doesn't even smell like tobacco, much less taste like it. And I'm not into cherry and vanilla flavored smokes. I went back to real cigarettes.  :(

you're getting rid of all the "extras" that exist in cigarettes. the next step will be to lower the nicotine content until you're down to zero. after that it's just a matter of habits...

 Perv,

  considering the same thing myself!  Only issue is in Canada you cant get them with nicotine so I have to order them from the States. They are not technically legal here.



   I have a friend who has done well on them except he said he ran out and had to have a smoke or 10 until his new ones came in. Since then though he gets enough to not run out and has done quite well!


   It doesn't stop the addiction but it's much better for you,well atleast until they do all the studies and find out it isn't...... :devil  They do sell a spray inhaler that is supposed to work well but I didn't see a reduction process for it like the vapes have.



    :salute

 PS: good luck and keep at it!

But I enjoy smoking its not just the nicotine, I really love having a smoke, I don't really want to quit, I am 34 now and I notice the effects of my smoking more now playing football (soccer  :rolleyes:) I have to say since I started vaping the difference in my breathing is night and day playing.

Morf and uptown, got this one



I agree with the taste though I tried e cigs a while back but I hated the taste and I killed the battery in the thing in an hour and a half  :rofl

I got this stuff h20 in golden virgina flavour and I love it tastes just like tobbaco

It costs me about £5 a week to smoke now bear in mind a pack of 20 smokes over here is about £8 it cost me about £80 a week smoking big saving and I still get to vap love it  :)

Yeah I loved smoking too. Still dream about it sometimes and wake up feeling guilty. However, from a health point of view it is just too stupid.

I quit 12 years ago cold turkey. First 24 hours was tough, but once I made that I knew I could do another 24 and so on. I did tell my wife that once they have a cure for cancer and any type of lung ailments, I'm starting back up!

I went to vaping about 6 months ago and haven't looked back, the only issue now is it's becoming a hobby to collect lots of different gear and juice flavours, I'm not saving money, but my lungs feel great!

The best e-cig I've found is NJoy. The flavor is right and it satisfies. I took a road trip with my nonsmoking Brother inlaw that can't stand cigarettes and he said it didn't bother him at all. The only problem is they don't last as long as they claim. Blu tasted like crap. I haven't tried Fin yet. Rumor is Marlboro and Winston are developing e-cigs due to be released soon.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

You are addicted to nicotine.  This is the drug that controls your life.  If you're vaping, you're still addicted.  If you're chewing gum, you're still addicted.  If you're on the patches, you're still addicted.  Some alternatives might be "better for you" than smoking, but you're still letting a substance rule over you.  You need to get mad about that and put an end to it.  Cold turkey all the way.  Good luck :aok

I can think of a few things that make nicotine a FAR more attractive item to be addicted to.

I can too but doesn't it piss you off that big companies and marketing is reaping a huge benefit from your "attractive" addiction? I can now spend my money on other fun things in stead of financing companies pushing nicotine.

Like Sik said, quit! you'll be healthier, and have more spending cash.

I smoked for almost 40 years and tried quitting numerous times and was never able to do it. I tried the V2 cig 1 month ago and have not had a smoke since! My lungs are feeling much better and I can now walk the dogs up the big hill without getting winded.   www.v2cigs.com/
