E-Cigarettes

I know a bunch of people who were able to completely replace cigarettes with e cigs and they all feel a lot healthier.

It didnt work that well for me. Because I could use it inside I was puffing on it almost constantly and I would take huge hits on it like I was trying to get high without even meaning to. So it wasnt for me.

I don't smoke, so I was going off of the ads at gas stations for rockgut brands

I've been tobacco free for 12 years this month. I did it the old fashioned way, came down with a real nasty flu virus that laid me flat on my back for a couple of weeks. I couldn't even get out of bed to have a smoke for the first 4 or 5 days so I laid there feeling completely miserable while seriously craving a cigarette. I guess negative re-inforcement works because I came out of that experience associating craving a smoke with feeling like crap and I haven't had a cigararette since. My son uses an E-cig even though I'm pretty sure he never smoked regular cigarettes and he DOES have a nasty cough a lot of the time so I'm not sure how safe they really are.

a friend of mine switched to electronic cigarettes a while ago. and he went through a variety of models. and i often try them out.

some things i learned: the ones that activate as you pull, based on a pressure sensor, are crap. get one that is button-activated. and the good ones can be disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled easily. good ones come with spare parts. they have a container for the liquid which you re-fill using a small bottle.

i have never seen one that uses single-use batteries. never. they all use lithium ion or lithium polymer rechargeables, much like cellphones.

its much better for the lungs, because they produce fume, not smoke, there is nothing burning, you just drive the fluid above its boiling point. so, no carbon monoxide, no soot or tar particles. i wouldnt call them healthy, but they really are much less harmful than actual cigarettes.

i suggest to get & try a bunch of different flavors, some taste good, some taste weird, some taste completely different from what they are advertised as. if i remember correctly, the best ones i tried were apple and vanilla.

with the price for cigarettes, and given how much you save, if you invest just a fraction of that in e-cigarettes and fluids, you can really get decent stuff, good ones may cost between 50 and 120 dollars. if you manage to switch away from cigarettes, it pays for itself within days or weeks, even if you spend 100 dollars on a really good e-cigarette every now and then, you will still save a lot of money.

E cigs are a great way to quit but DONT use the cheap disposable gas station ones. The e juice in them is made in China and God knows whats in it. Go to a vape shop and get American made juice. It comes in 1,000's of flavors and also in diminishing levels of nicotine. Villain Vapors out of California makes great juice. If the electronic device is from China that is fine but DONT use their liquids as there is no way to know if the nicotine level is accurate and what else may be in it. Nicotine is not what gives you cancer, there is alot of negative press out there most of it is based on ignorance and fear. E-cigs are the most effective way to quit and have become so popular that the cigarette companies took a big drop in the Stock market recently because of diminishing sales. I have a vapor shop in LA so if any advice is needed feel free to PM or email me at raul@westcoastjungle.com

I would be more than happy to help you quit smoking!:)
I vape zero nicotine:gj:

My husband uses them. He makes his own e liquid now and it's pretty low cost. I don't know very much about it myself. He doesn't smoke anymore, except very rarely a cigar or something. I could ask him for more info if you're interested.

I used to smoke too, but I really wanted to quit (because I was pregnant at the time) so it was easier for me. My husband really didn't want to, but he started vaping in the winter (a couple of years ago) because I didn't mind him doing it indoors. I'm sure a part of him wanted to quit (and not have health problems), but he really did enjoy smoking and didn't want to give it up. He does still vape nicotine, but it's a pretty low concentration.

I dont smoke anymore, but have used a friends Ecig before. They are pretty nice, but you need to spend some money and get a good one, as others above have said. Push button, rechargeable, buy an extra battery piece as well just incase one goes dead while your out (not likely). My friend also mixes his own fluid, buys it in large quantities and makes his own flavors and what not, much cheaper this way than buying it pre-mixed in the little bottles.
