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?

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

Great 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
Baz

PS: 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.

Gaieus

Well, harassment is not punishment so still better...

baz

So Gai, you have been using E-cigs for a while?
What do you think are the downsides?

Gaieus

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.

olishea

A long way off though mate, the public outcry will be enormous.

I'd like to see such stringent regulations on cigarettes; especially the thousands of chemicals they add! It's not even tobacco by the time you buy it.

You can make your own vapes anyway, screw em. If there's a ban/regulation I'll personally CNC everyone here my own E-Cig. It's just a battery, coil, wick and chamber.

solo

I can do the liquids, I have over a decade experience in food color and flavors, heck if I could just figure out where to get the nicotine base I would sell my own stuff.

The coil is the key!

OK... I'm tempted to try this eCig-thing...
I've just ordered an e-cig online... I assume I will get it early next week...
Stay tuned...
