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 :)

Thanks for that Link Perv. :salute

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.

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/

Yeah a study showed that 80% of smoking parents would trade the quality of food for their children if they only had money to buy cigarettes or the food. I always had zero respect for the smokers.

Nicotine isn't totally bad for you, infact smokers have a lower risk of Alzheimer's. Nicotine itself isn't bad, it's all the other crap. Addiction is your choice, none of my buisness if it dosn't effect me.

I have a whole box of cohibas from Cuba,robustas at that but they are legal here so I can go buy any Cuban I desire! Interestingly enough you could come here and buy a box,you need to sample 1..... before you bring them home but that is perfectly legal!
So long as they are opened they are considered personal and legally obtained in Canada!
Don't get caught,errr trading them to friend tho!
:salute

Cohibas are legal also here in europe. I like to smoke a cigar once or twice a year with a good shot of whiskey or wine. With me the problem is that when I buy cigars they usually get dried out before I smoke them and I'm not going to buy a fumigator for one time use per year.

of course we all know you are a dick :P.

** For those of you who vape or are thinking about starting vaping. You should check out this website:
http://www.760vapor.com/
My team leader started that business and they are starting to get really popular. Almost everyone in my BN who vapes buys through him. I can't say personally because i dont vape/smoke or whatever, but from what everyone says, they are the absolute best juice that you can find.

yes and no. Smoking helps with boredom and 30k climb outs :old:

I stopped smoking cigarettes.
I now smoke a pipe.
For the Nancy's that are about to get their panties in a bunch, I understand that it is not a "safe alternative".
By the same token: the wife doesn't complain about the smell, I do not feel the need to smoke anymore, my lungs are very thankful for the dramatically reduced volume of smoke in them due to not inhaling, my wallet is thankful because the cost of smoking a pipe has been a lot less due to it not being nearly as often as a habit and I get to have variety in what I smoke.
So, all that being said, I have no regrets at not smoking cigarettes anymore. I do not miss the compulsion to smoke, the irritation at not being able to, the $70+/week habit, the hacking up phlegm in the morning, the shortness of breath, looking for my cigarettes when the phone rings, I get into the car, after I eat, etc and all the other crap associated with smoking cigarettes including it being the first and last thing I did every day.
Although smoking a pipe may seem like trading one habit for another, it doesn't seem like it has been taking as much of a toll on my lungs and wallet, yet it satisfies my urge to smoke.
Regardless, we all have to die from something and I'll be damned if it is going to be old age...
