Any smokers here? Wanna quit?

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

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.
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.

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!
-
So do you get it in the states?
Where did you find it Pete?
Can't find it yet with Google. -

This is the only forum I found that isn't a front for E-Cig companies. Some good info.

Download Allen Carr's book- it works flawlessly. Smoked 10yrs and escaped easily. I know 7 men in my vicinity (including my father (he smoked 2 packs per day for 40 years)
it really works! IMHO the author (RIP) trulyDESERVES Nobel. -
You cannot use them here in Springfield, Missouri in any place that bans smoking... Which is everywhere. They are considered a cigarette with no data to back up any claims of safety. At least that's what the government says.

I also heard the Allen Carr book is good, I know a few people who have quit using it.
But because they are classed as a tobacco product, the import ban was lifted meaning you can buy them in the US legally. You're legally allowed to smoke them indoors in UK, most people don't for some reason, maybe because we got used to the smoking ban and common courtesy I suppose (being a walk over).
Anyway, you just need to Stealth Vape! I did it on the train and nobody noticed!
