Anyone Here Have Any Experience With Electronic Cigarettes?

[Quillback]

I used to smoke, took me multiple tries to finally quit. Best way is cold turkey, when I would quit, I would find myself sometimes sitting there thinking I want a cigarette, when that happened I would find myself something to do, best way to quit is to keep yourself busy when you get that craving. They say it takes 3 days to break the physical craving for nicotine, so set your sights on quitting for just three days.

Dying from lung cancer is a long, painful, expensive way to die.

I've been smoking a pack a day for over 15 years, and my main issue with my many attempts at quiting cold turkey have always ended poorly, with me making a quick decision between:

A. Go smoke a CIGARETTE

or

B. Give in to my urges and tear the stuffing out of whatever creature happens to be in my way.. Be that a customer, a laptop, a family pet or even the wife.

Basically I get so beside myself that I am homicidal/suicidal.. Not a good way to be.. Last time I tried to quit I walked around like that for a solid month, with NO reprieve.

I don't wanna kill anyone or lose my job over my attitude (not to mention that, even if keep the job, it definitely adversely effects my performance), let alone doing somethig I may regret forever (like strangling the cat or something worse).. I just wanna quit being dependant upon them...

We'll see how well this alternative works, wish me luck.. For those off you considering making a similar leap of logic, keep your eyes peeled for an update.. My kit should arrive tonight.

Let me know how it turns out. I think it is a travesity that all people want is the quick fix of the nicotine (which slightly elevates blooodpressure and heart beat) and the way you get it is smoking other stuff that gives you cancer or dipping snuff which makes you get mouth cancer. The nicotine isn't very dangerous. The gum makes me nauseous and really all it does is make cigarettes taste bad when you ultimatley light one.

Well it's been 5 hours since my last cigarette.. (still keepig the half pack in my pocket as a security blanket) I've given myself a nicotine buzz two or three times with this e-cig showing it off.. Seems to be doing the trick for kickng the cravings... So far..

I'll be fishing tomorrow morning, so that will be the real test.. lol

Thanks to all those who have replied here or via PM, it been nice knowing there is support out there, even if I am just a weak willed lil wimp.. lol

What does it taste like? Will it work with beer? LOL and Could you post where you got it?

Tastes quite different than a cigarette, but it gives that pinching feeling in your throat like a cigarette.. Dunno if it'll work "with beer" like you want it to... I don't drink much and I crave tobbacco either way so my answers wouldn't be of much help.. The website I researched this all on was:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/

The website I ordered from is www.cigeasy.com

I can't necessarily give a recommendation in which model to try, but I like line so far.. It's a KR808D-1, one of the two most popular models..

Check it out, and I'll keep updating here with my progress.. Which is, BTW, 22 hours without so much as even WANTING a cigarette.. lol (I am a gadget guy, so I'm hoping that my enthusiasm will be the same after the "newness" wears off)

I have been using the e-cig for several months now and love it. I will occasionally (couple times a week) have a "social" cigarette. I am tickled with the savings and I can definitely tell that my shortness of breath after exercising has diminished. Good luck !!!!!

Just found this free trial offer online this morning. I thought I'd pass it on. I'm going to try to get my wife interested in trying it too.
