Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
-
Not available in states?
-
Been using Blu. Good when you get good carts. 20% dried out or suck.
When it works it's great.
Batteries don't last but they have a usb charger.
Great for work. I can see my keyboard now.
Strange how they want to tax them in the states but not the gum or patch. -
Solo, there will be even better e-cigs like this in the States. In fact the US tested the vapour produced by these E-Cigs and they are not harmful in any way. You only absorb lovely nicotine.
As long as you get one where you can add your own E-Liquid, they all use the same principles.
The video I posted from youtube is uploaded by a very unbias english chap who has reviewed dozens in such in-depth detail.
Youtube channel:

http://www.e-cig-reviews.comJust don't get the toy-looking cigarettes, they really don't produce anywhere near as much vapour. You can also buy rebuildable/repairable E-Cigs for the hardcore smoker which I may look into soon.
Csaba, I also have a spare one charging while I'm using my current one.
It's strange how much better how I can smell and taste, it feels like I've discovered new senses! Best thing for me, however, is going to asleep without wheezing/crackling chest. I'm only 26 and felt like I had lungs of a 70 year old!

I had the X hale 02, what a load of crap, I had to suck so hard to get a whiff of satisfaction that my jowls would hurt after a while. It also ran flat and empty so fast that I calculated it was twice the price of the equivalence in Cuban cigars.
I'd really like to find one that works so I could smoke while working and if it's healthier and cheaper then more power to that.

That video is funny, best part is his "non obsession" obsession with the switch.
-
I smoke these and I don't wanna quit.

I have tested the Blu and it's nowhere near as good. You can still use the Blu USB charger and batteries for the new type of E-Cig though. It's annoying having to take a few "primer" puffs to get it going, I much prefer pressing a button now and I don't have to suck my face in to get a drag!
I went from nicolites to Blu and then finally the Vegas (aka VGO2)....
edit: I think the VGO2 mini version has a smaller battery and atomizer. The one I have is slightly bigger than the one in the video.

I smoke - as you know from my avatar - like a chimney...

I am 100% there will be a shop in town you can try them out Pete. The shops are springing up everywhere and are often very busy indeed. My local E Cig shop has dozens of flavours to try out. There are also forums lol But you definitely don't have to suck at all with these ones, basically if they are button operated it pushes the vapour into your mouth.
Like I said, you'll be able to find even better ones in the States I am sure. We just get what we are given in the UK!
I believe you'll have success Pete, I used to just smoke all the time while working. Not even for the nicotine, just the pleasure. I prefer the flavour and hit of these now and I have not found it hard quitting at all. In fact I didn't even get cravings, I just never smoked a cig again without thinking it!
-
Found a vape store down the road, they suggested this:
I'll probably try it tomorrow and sample some flavors.
-
That's the one you need right there! Mini is same, just smaller battery. I prefer size of mini and I have a spare battery.
Only thing you need to replace is the "atomiser" part every couple weeks or so. They are cheap though.
If you look at the link below, you can get a larger atomizer and in the description it says more durable and won't split. Your shop will be better equipped than this UK one I imagine. I am getting two delivered tomorrow so I'll report back if the larger ones last longer than 2 weeks.
Buy the twin pack pete, so if one needs charging you don't have to wait.
You can get flavours which are close to your cigarette brand, but don't forget to try some fruity flavours as I much prefer them now.

Hell no I don't want to quit... What are you gonna live FoReVAH!

I thought that until I took my dad to radiotherapy appointments for his tongue cancer.
-
I probably would have got one of them, gadget freak, chain smoker, nearly 40 years of smoking etc..... but Feb last year I just stopped.
Still have a very stale half pack of Malboro Lights, lighter and ashtray within reach. -
Good on you man,I dunno how you can just stop though! impressive!
Pete I forgot to say, make sure the one you buy has a wick that goes all the way into tank.
If you watch the end of the video in original post at 8:36 he mentions that the old version he is testing has short wicks, the new one (which looks like the ones in the picture you posted) absorb the E liquid better and have a nicer taste from experience.
If you get any information about 'rebuildable' or 'genesis' E cigs, let me know. Nobody has a clue over here!!
Like these ones! They put mine to shame! Gonna try this one next (AC9 Genesis)

Just remember... It's the Nicotine itself that is bad for your circulatory system... It constricts your arteries and veins. The tar and smoke is bad for your lungs. Who knows which is getting your mouth, nose and throat.
Being Native I'm genetically immune to these things...
Tobacco... The Native American gift to Whitey! -

Tobacco... The Native American gift to Whitey! Nicotine can increase blood pressure yeah. It's the smoke that causes cancer and tumours, more specifically the tar. The tar lines your mouth, throat, nose, lungs continually and contains thousands of chemicals. You need not educating, cigarette packets already tell you about the cyanide and benzene.
Tar prevents your cilia hair from wafting mucus up away from your lungs. Eventually your lungs are oozing with mucus and carcinogenic tar. More tar=more free radicals=more chance of cancer. It also ruins your life with all the wheezing/coughing.
I'm not even gonna get into carbon monoxide or the thousands of other toxins. I feel like a complete dick for ever smoking in the first place.
I feel significantly healthier since I've quit. Even being able to take a full breath in without coughing feels brand new!
I still got my nicotine yeah, but I now have the choice to incrementally reduce the strength. Eventually I will go to the non-nictoine vapour and ease off completely.
-
How long before they have the marijuana version????
-
Already available
-
I wondered when it would descend into this!
