Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
-
Good heavens, what has the world come to? Grown men sucking on Dummies, or should that be Dummies sucking on Dummies? I'm 69 years of age and up 'til May last year I was a heavey smoker from the tender age of 12. All it took for me to knock off was an acute stroke and a heart attack, both within one short hour. I now chew gum and wear a patch when I remember to put it on. The price of tobacco in NZ is so high it would be cheaper to smoke waccy baccy, and a site more enjoyable too. $60.00 for a 50g pack of tobacco is a bit steep, I think. It's nice to see all those excise taxes I paid went towards the excellent Hospital treatment I received
-
Yeah I find it works great, at first I wasn't getting it but there is a technic to it, ya just ave to play around with it a little really, I wouldn't trade it for a real cig now, I'm very happy with it, 4th day on it and still going strong

Unfortunately I can not wait for an acute stroke or heart attack to quit smoking. So for now I'll be a dummy and suck my dummy. Never been able to quit for more than a couple of days so this is massive for me!
I don't understand nicotine chewing gum.
If I had an addiction to chewing gum, would they recommend smoking to cure the habit? The two are unrelated IMO. I know patches/gum release nicotine but 93% of people who use them return to smoking within 6 months. So who is the dummy?

Sucking on a cigarette better than on a dummy (pacifier)? I'll take the dummy and avoid your fate mate.

Hey Oli...guess what......I'm on board too!I just got mine couple of hours ago.
I'm happy, my wife's happy...my 2.5 years old kid is not, because he want to play with it.
I think I need to say thank you man. Can't wait the next morning coffee.
I'll get back with more details, but not now. Now I'm happy. Is that normal, or I'm just dizzy?
Cheers,
Stefan

Welcome to the Vape club, I'm 2 days smoke free and not at the least tempted to smoke, in fact I prefer vaping.
No more nasty stinkie tobacco for me.

Maybe I was the dummie for starting smoking in the first place, strokes and heart attacks are not pretty things to have or observe, stay alive I'm petty sure it's more fun. Now where did I put the Viagra

Cheers,StefanGreat stuff!
Ooh you have a dock for yours!! Very posh!!
I have to unscrew my battery and plug it in! If you have a lanyard to hold your E-Cig I suggest you use it, won't lose it then and always within reach.Stefan, if your atomizer/clearomizer part splits or cracks from the bottom....they now sell a stronger reinforced one. Same price and looks the same, they just don't crack. I can substantiate this claim, my new one is still going strong and it's in my mouth all day!
Yes please give a review when you have time so we get a broad spectrum of unbiased opinion on these devices.
Nicely done guys! Yeah vaping really is a pleasant experience. Very similar to those shisha pipes you get in eastern countries, in terms of flavour and smoothness.
-
Very excited about this vaping, I'm 62yo and still smokin like a fool, tried patches, lozenges, willpower, (hah!).
Just spent an hour trying to figure it all out, atomizers?, cartomizers? e-liquid, etc.etc.
Very confusing, nearly placed an order with an Aussie reseller, but then read that he cannot supply nicotine, Duh!
Anybody know of an actual bricks and mortar shop in Australia?
Cheers
BazPS: How are you going Solo, day 3?

And don't forget guys one very important advantage of this eCig: you can "smoke" it everywhere; restaurants, bars, airports, offices...

Have a look at the "stealth vaping" vid. He points out that the vapour still looks like smoke, so you can still get harassed, unless you use his technique.
-
Well, harassment is not punishment so still better...
-
So Gai, you have been using E-cigs for a while?
What do you think are the downsides? -
Sometimes you DO need that stinking smell/taste in your mouth. I still smoke cigarettes, too - but much less. I could not imagine a morning coffee or after a great lunch without a real cigarette but eCigs are great to be sitting at the computer and only sucking a draught or two - instead of letting half a cigarette burn. You know the kind: when you are waiting for a render or a download to complete and you feel "obliged" to do something in the meanwhile.

Yup and going strong, no desire to touch the stinky anologues.

Congratulations Pete!
Csaba, my mother did the same. She massively cut down cigarettes first for two weeks, then one day she didn't buy any more cigarettes. Everyone is different and suddenly stopping suited me but maybe not others. I know the feeling, you click render and immediately spark up.
You start to associate any waiting activity with having a cig.Baz, I've never been confronted by anyone. They may be confused for a second but nobody has told me to stop vaping. The stealth vaping technique is only really needed on a packed train etc.
Jeez every time I type vaping my auto-spell changes it to gaping!! Gotta be careful!
-
Here they come!!! RJ Reynolds making ecigs & pushing for laws to kill the others
-
Yeah the tobacco and traditional NRT companies such as Niquitin must be very worried indeed. I saw this coming the moment I began vaping, it's almost too good to be true.
So when they come to tax/restrict such products, I'll be buying 1000 bottles of E-liquid the night before!

As expected in America, big business buys loud politicians, they all do it, it's corruption out in the open. That's why we cannot have nice things.
