I'm not going to harp on you for continuing with the addiction, because I feel in a free world, adults should be able to do whatever they want to their own body as long as it doesn't drift over to someone else (as in second-hand smoke).  But don't kid yourself into thinking you've QUIT.  QUITTING means you don't spend any money on nicotine, ever, and you don't consume any nicotine in any shape or form.

Also--just my opinion, when I'm looking for success stories, I expect the person to be free of the substance for longer than 14-20 days, or whatever.  Talk to me at your one year mark. 

Gate420............  which maker do you freakin work for?!?!?!?! Blue? Joy? lmao Relax. No one is trying to beat anybody up here.

I'm getting ready to head out to a place here that sells nothing but e-cigarettes. I'm afraid if I don't get off the real ones now, tomorrow will be to late. It's gotten that bad for me. At this point, I would smoke monkey-shit wrapped in maxi-pads if it could get me off cigarettes.

Vamp--- lotsa luck. You sound like a heavy smoker (like me...5 with my first cup of coffee) You inspired me. I hope I have a good a start as you're having.

How long did it take for you to get your order from china?

Congrats on making the swap from them cancer sticks and Welcome to the vaping world.

Best of luck, Po!  I'm rootin' for ya!

Ah... so you've decided. Good on ya.   

Good luck, Po'!  

Do we....sparkle here?

Ehh...apparently the pack will help you "hook up with other ecig smokers" - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385238,00.asp (Blu Readies E-Cig Packs With a Social Twist)

Hell-ooo, Cheryl Vigaent! 

I saw that article a few days ago.

Not exactly my idea of 'sparks' when you meet someone for the first time.

If you want a reason to quit besides the obvious health reasons, think of the money you could save.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker when I quit 8 years ago. When I quit they were around $3.00 a pack and now they are around $5.00.

By my figures I saved about $25,000.00 on the smokes and a hell of a lot more on medical bills.

well, i used express postage and it took about a week from china, and those juices are tobacco flaved high juice, i get a good hit out of

them, im also waiting for an aussie juice to reach me, im guessing tomorrow they will arrive.

i love smoking, i never want to quit, this isnt a quitting thing, that wont happen, this is just to change over to a smoke that is way healthier and cheaper, and to be frank it was money that motivated me more than health.

When i was smoking my 60 a day, i felt extremely light headed when i would go to bed around 1 or 2 am.  and my internal body just felt dry and full of smoke...(cant explain it any other way) and i knew these signs were my body screaming at me to stop or cut down, but i just couldnt.

Niccotine is my drug and i love it, and i dont want to stop, im too uncontrollable emotionally and mentally to even go without even ONE cig for HALF AN HOUR!  thats like taking the dummy from the baby, its that bad for me.

but now, i just cant believe the difference, at first, it was strange, but the more you use the ecig, the quicker you adapt and prefer it over a real cig.

I still smoke real cigs, today ive only had 5. and its now 4.47pm, thats a huge difference, and from tomorrow, i wont have any real cigs left,

but im not even panicked about this, im more than happy to vape my way throught this week and a half until next pay day, and then i will able to decide if i even feel like buying a packet of tobacco.

but i wont lie, i suck on my e cig ALL DAY, cause i love smoking that much and need my hit often.

my battery lasts me at least 12 hours, i charge it during the night so the next day my baby is ready to rock with me all day.

i check my liqued in the morning, this morning i added 6 drops as it was starting to get dry at the bottom of the filter, but normally i only use

about 4 drops a day, and i have a 50ml bottle, so i can see that lasting me for a few months yet,

po, thanks babe, most of that info i wrote above was for you....... just so you get an idea. good luck matee, but i dont think you will need it.

just make sure your tobacco liqued strength is high to start off with, then you get the hit ect, and can experiment with other brands till you find what you like ect.

some side notes i thought i should mention,

when wolfee has left here to go back to his place, i can smell his smoke, and it stinks to me, (now that is a first for me, before i couldnt even

smell the smoke)

even when i do light a real cigarette, (because i felt like one) i just dont feel the same, i actually prefer my ecig.

you really need to make an effort to use the ecig more than smoking cigs to get used to it, and for the habbit to form. I think it took me

2 days to get used to it, and one more day to say i preffered the e cig more. (but i continually made myself pick up the ecig instead of

rolling a cig)

but i loved using the ecig right off the bat, it is very cool to use, your inhaling and exhaling what looks like smoke, its very cool! its just the

getting used to it thats a little different.

your atomizer will get a little hot if you constantly puff of it like i do. just set it down for about a minute, then your right to go.

check your fluid morning and afternoon if your using e liqued.  you can normally taste it if the liqued is getting low anyways, it will start to taste

different.

hope this helps xxx

How in the hell is encouraging someone to quit smoking "bad advice"?  Tell me.

po, did you buy one??

Bought one Saturday.

Took it on the road with me when I left on Monday and just got home tonight.

Bought some 'coffee' flavored cartridges.

So, I know it's not a big deal, but..I smoke 2 to 2 1/2 packs a day (Marlboro 72's). Since Sunday, I have only bought 2 packs and still have half the second pack left. After 35 years of smoking, I'll call this a good start.

As a pack-a day smoker... I tried 2 different types of e-cigs.  Only 1 of them worked very well and, that would be the "greensmoke".

All the e-cigs I tried though, didn't give me the HIT I was looking for.  I can understand that this method could work for some.  But from the 10 or so people I know personally, only 1 truly has stuck with the e-cig, and that 1 person can't seem to kick the e-cig habit.

That's a GREAT start!  Congratulations! 

thats awsome po, so glad to hear its working out so far.

i hadnt had a real cig since last saturday, but today i bought a packet of tobacco......i dunno, i just wanted one.....

but to go 6 days without a real cig, is a miracle for me..... so im still impressed.

Well Kitty...I hate to say it...but you should be careful with those things now...it's starting to come out now that these things are just about as bad as real cigs. It had to happen sooner or later. Bring on the ambulance chasers!

if thats true, fuck it then, id rather just smoke real cigs,..........
