Thanks to my vape, I've had only one single cigarette in the past 3 weeks. I have zero cravings for them and I feel considerably better. In fact, I still have about 5 smokes left in a pack and just can't see myself smoking those... don't want to.
Even better... 5ml of juice, which costs $5, lasts me about 2 weeks meaning that I am spending less in the long run. I only smoked, at most, a pack a week... but still.
I tried the Blu E-Cigs but they were terrible. Trying to "smoke" out of one of those was like trying to take a hit off a joint that was rolled WAY to tight.
I'm using an eGo-V v2 mega battery with variable voltage control with a gravity tank.
Hey, thanks for the PM dude! That's exactly what I was doing wrong, and while I'm still coughing, it is a lot more natural now! Perfect! I owe you a beer the next time I'm in KC. I'll check out some different flavors. Couldn't hurt. Appreciate the insight today, gentlemen. [Reply]

Naw, I was dead serious. I was hitting it like a joint. That was the problem. Still really harsh, but I'll adjust. I appreciate the help. Heh, I was trying to figure out your PM about not coughing up a lung, now I get it.

Just picked up some Blue Voodoo from Mr. E Liquid. :-) Can't put it down. It's like a blueberry/blue raspberry flavor, but not super sweet, just right.
Also, I am really huge on these Kanger Pro-Tanks. I am now at 6 months with my first one and have yet to experience leakage, gurgling, or, the worst of them all, juice coming up the air tube. I have changed coils on this 3 times now, and it is working like a champ. [Reply]
I've been vaping since June. Smoked for about 30 years. I tried a Joy-e 510 about 4 years ago and it really worked well, but the juices were all on line and the batteries would not last long. Then this year a place opened in Omaha called Plumes. There are now something like 5 places in Omaha you can get GOOD ecigs, bigger tanks, bigger batteries, more juices etc.
I am now smoke free. I don't even want a cigarette like I did when I was on the Joy-e. They smell and taste like shit to me. I'm using 11 mg of nicotine in the juice, which is akin to an ultralight cig. Any less than that level and I've found the lack of throat hit makes it rather pointless.
I've tried a few flavors, but I've settled on Ultamint, which is literally like a nice breath mint. My lungs are totally clear. I'm a singer and I do voice work, and getting rid of cigarettes has made a phenomenal difference for my voice.
Went to the Doc for a checkup and told him about them. He was more optimistic about them than cigarettes, and advised me to stay on it with the goal of quitting it too. I guess. But I figure I can pull on this damn thing forever and I'll still be better off than smoking cigarettes by a mile.
Oh. Went hunting this last weekend...was able to vape in the field cuz there's no smell. That was a cool bonus!
If you are a smoker, please please please look into this. I will never smoke a cigarette again. If you find the right kit and juices, you wont' either. Good Luck and VAPE ON!! [Reply]
I was a pack a day smoker for about 18 years or so. I stopped about 6-7 years ago with ecigs.
i started at 25 mg and now am down to 12 mg. Recently I decided to slow down my use of the ecig. I only use it in the mornings and nights. I'm hoping to be off the ecigs sometime next year.
This lasts all day with only recharging the battery at night.
I also buy some disposable ecigs from litecigusa.net for bars, restaurants, casinos, etc. so people don't look at me like I'm smoking a hooka or something :-) [Reply]

The key is long slow pulls, I'd say 5 seconds or so. Fill up your mouth, then inhale it. The biggest problem people seem to have is understanding that it's not like a cigarette, if you pull too hard it tastes burnt and you don't get the vapor. Once I figured that out, it's been flat out awesome. I'll never go back to cigarettes. [Reply]
I mentioned in another thread that I had bought one of those cheap ecigs to bring in to arrowhead for the Giants as well as the Raiders. The Chiefs front office would NOT return my phone calls regarding if there would be a problem bringing my ecig in, and I wasn't about to have them try to confiscate it, so I went that route. The gas station ecigs SUCK. Please, if that's all you've tried, go back and research. There are way better options out there.
By the way, it worked until about half time. 2 packs of smokes my ass. that's what they say you get out of the little ones. More like about 4 cigarettes. Each time I tried one they just did not last, but it was good in a pinch I guess. [Reply]

Good time to quit, it worked for me. I used the ecig for a couple of months then woke up one morning and realized how nasty it tasted. Haven't had a cig in 2 1/2 years now. [Reply]

Bob Dole has been using NJOY disposables to get him through crap like flights to Philly, 8 hour drives in a state vehicle, etc. $9.99 a pop. Not the same as the real thing, but definitely works well enough to avoid manslaughter charges. [Reply]
have been using it since September 15. I was a little over a pack a day smoker for 25 years. I find I pull on the e-cig a lot more than I ever smoked but it is better than smoking. I am at 24 mg nicotine. I smoked menthols only so I get cowboy menthol juice. One bottle is 25 dollars and lasts almost 2 months. Pretty good considering the cigs I smoked were near 70$ a carton. I didn't care about the money at first but now it is nice to know I am not smoking 400$ a month! [Reply]
