Anyone Here Have Any Experience With Electronic Cigarettes?

[Andy & JoAnne]

Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. Here is the link for the one I got.

I had my brother-in-law try it and on the first "draw" he took in a bit too much and began coughing like mad. They do pack a bit of a punch.

Warning well taken there Eric.

Take Care

Thanks for posting that, I was curious as to which brand you have.. They sell that same kit you linked for twice as much at the battlefield mall "smoke everywhere" kiosk...

Looks like the main difference is the availability of flavors.. Believe it or not, the flavors actually do taste like their descriptions.. So far I like peach, butterscotch and banana fosters flavors the best.. (www.tastyvapor.us)

my update:

14 days and counting, I am almost to the point where I have saved as much (on analogs) as ihave spent (on digital).. The added benefits? (as noted by third parties):

1. Noticably fresher breath immediately

2. Ashtrays are GONE!

3. Haven't burned a hole in ANYTHING all week! Not even my wallet!

4. Got a call the other day that lead to a sale, wouldn't have gotten the call if I had been out on my usual SMOKE BREAK! (This benefit never occurred to me before.. Duh!)

5. The whitening toothpaste appears to actually be whitening my teeth, rather than just keeping them at that sickening level of tarred-ness that they were before.. After my teeth cleaning next week it should be all down hill for that part.. Looking forward to blinding people with my big toothy grin again...

6. Sat through a 3 hour movie at the theater.. Been a while since I managed that! lol

7. I have smelled odors in the past week that I had COMPLETELY Forgotten about over the past 15 years.. Sense of taste is coming back too..

8. I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to take a big breath without wheezing.. Well, actually I CAN tell you, now that I can breath.. Odd how much my lung function has improved over just the past two weeks!

This is not a placebo effect, folks.. This drastic health improvement is a common occurence (from what I can gather) among those who have recently quit smoking.. Switching to vaping is no different... So far, anyway..

I will say that watching all this unfold in the courtroom perspective has been enlightening.. It has proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Feds are not at all interested in the well being of the populace.. Unless displaying that concern will significantly increase the funds in their coffers..

Amen, Brother. If they cared about our well-being, tobacco would be outlawed.

I've got about 72 hours under my belt and every person I encounter I want to rip their faces off with my bare hands. I've been chewing that nasty gum and it curbs my severe cravings long enough to not kill someone. I've done this part many times. It's the long term commitment I have real trouble with. Anyway, this time I'm for real. Can't smoke anymore. I went for a jog tonight (probably too early for that), only did about a mile and I thought my lungs were going to explode.

I hate cigarettes.

Glad to hear you guys are staying on the wagon. You'll eventually notice a big improvement in lung capacity, so it if you're a jogger or play any sports, you'll notice a big difference. Another small thing I remember is that the skin surface between my two fingers where I held my cigarettes was yellow and stunk like cigs no matter how much I scrubbed my hands, but after quitting, back to normal, no more yellow stinking skin.

No more getting up in the morning, hacking, to "clear my lungs".

Some of you may remember me posting last Summer about my switch from "real" tobacco to "e-cigarettes".... Well I'm happy to inform you that today will be one year and 6 months since that transition, and it couldnt have worked out better!! Since switching I have:

Cut back to zero nicotine dosages

Cut back drastically on the physical use of the "apparatus"

Saved myself a total of $2,456 (after e-cig expenses, as compared to paying carton prices at 1 pack/day, Camel Lights)

Am now spending less that $5 per month on the supplies to perpetuate my "e-cig" habit

Increased my strength, stamina and lung function (unfortunately my belt size increased slightly as well, )

Set a goal of walking away from the apparatus all together by the 2 year mark

As it is I currently go all day without a "smoke", and I have figured out that (now that I am no longer addicted to nicotine) the cravings I used to get when I saw or smelled someone smoking a Camel have dissipated to the level of "barely noticeable"

Anyway, just thought you'd all be happy to hear that...

Cheers!!

Good for you. I might add you have reduced your risk of lung cancer also.

Indeed, Bro... Although I'd venture to guess that, with my 15 year pack/day + habit, the damage has already been done... Nonetheless, I'm in it for the long haul at this point...

I did find a potential negative of quitting nicotine: apparently it was the only thing holding my memory together!

Good for you Cricket.

Cricket,

I am happy for you. Congratualtions.

[Trout Commander]

Cool!

Wait, what was this thread about again?
