E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

Thanks so much fo the 411 fellas. I'm probably going to pick one of these up. Been smokin a half pack a day for 20 years. The problem is I enjoy it, but I'd like to try the "less lethal" option.

Let me know what you get and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. There's definitely a learning curve and so many people vying for your dollar it can seem overwhelming to get your head around.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

I have a question.... As a college student on a pretty limited income, I would like to know more about the finances of it. Since I am 21, the health issue is in the background, however I have been noticing the smokers cough coming up a bit. I have ranged between half a pack a day to usually 3/4 a pack for 4 years now. In Florida, cheap cigarettes that I smoke are about 4$ a pack (Pall Mall Menthol 100s) and if I get cigs I like (Newport 100s) then they are like 5 or 6$. So could anybody tell me how much of a difference it would make on my wallet if I got a model similar to what you guys have had? Thank you.

Also I would like to hear if anyone has impressions on mentholized smoking on an e cig and smoking when drunk. Because to be honest, I have never had anything that hit that spot just right like a real cigarette after a night of drinking. Thanks again guys.

Honestly, if you just want to do it to save money, then it's not going to work for you. Over time you will save money, but the startup costs and the costs of learning can be steep. But this is really something more for someone who is fed up with smoking, but is finding it hard to quit.

5 days for me....not one cig.

Yeah, I got a free NJOY USB one and that helped me quit last time...I was good for 6ish months before I was dumb and had a cig with a friend. I need to pick up some carts for that so I can use it to quit again...

They market them as a nicotine replacement, not as a quitting aid, but IMO it's a great quitting aid. It's easier to ween yourself off the e-cig, and that's cleaner, not smelly, etc.

Ugggh. Don't buy those prefilled carts...buy some quality juice and fill them yourself, much better taste and vapor.

I don't think most places even market them as a nicotine replacement anymore either. It's all about the FDA and avoiding their regulatory commission. Still, those of us that use them know the real truth.

Edit: Also, watch this video: http://www.vapetv.com/truelove/?video=41 It's some guy introducing people off the street to these. Not safe for work, btw...language. Typical New Yorkers

Yeah, I've got to look into the juice, I can probably just pull apart the cart and refill...hmmm

I see you are in AZ. Try these guys: https://www.freedomsmokeusa.com/

Everything I've gotten from them is quality juice. Good flavor and they are a good, friendly company to deal with.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

Right now I am kind of leaning toward a 510.... Is there a reason you choose the Riva, I read the 6 part intro piece on vaping and am looking around the forums but Im not really finding much about the Riva.

Read this thread I wrote there: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...lete-n00b.html

Basically, the advantage of the Riva is a longer life battery. The 510's batter is like a 320mAh battery, while the Riva is 750mAh. It lasts most people all day, while the regular 510 will need charging a couple times.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

My stepfather's company helped design the packaging for the Bloog electronic cigarette, so he's brought home a few "samples." I didn't do any tobacco products at the time (just got into Snus though), so I've only had the flavored ones without nicotine. They're interesting. I like the idea.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

Hey, I smoke a pack of Newport 100s a day & would like to try this as my third chance of quitting.

If anyone could help, which website should I checkout?

Which model would be almost right for me & similar to the brand of cigs I'm used to?

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

One month, and still not one cig. I make my own juice and even have built a few of my own e-cigs. If you smoke and want to quit, you are stupid to not try these.

So what's the scoop here guys. Still workin?

Also, has anyone tried the Blu-Cig that I see advertised here on OS? I'd like to try that one but looking around they say you get a few good puffs at first but then have to wait a few minutes for another "satisfying one".

Do the ones you guys are using have any draw backs like that? No pun intended of course.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

I am still using my cloud 9 one. I smoked on it last night for about 30 min. It does the job, it was the first time I took a smoke from either a cig or a E-cig in over a week.

Re: E-Cigs..anyone tried one?

Great thread as I am trying to quit, or at least find a safer alternative.

As a matter of fact I have a smokeless cig kit sitting right next to me now lol. But I am procrastinating

I have a brand called LUCI
