I have for a good twenty years. "Only" a 3/4 a pack a day smoker...but still I've tried to quit like 9 times...unsuccessfully. This is not an ad...I will not be putting links to companies in here. Nor will I mention any particular product names either. You google this topic and I swear that 90% of the talk seems like shill advertising. So at the cost of being ultra specific...atleast you can feel relatively certain that I do not work for or profit by anyone buying any e-cig merch.
Yesterday I bought an e-cig kit and wanted to share my thoughts as it's an important topic for some of us. I think it's revolutionary. It's been 24 hours since I last had a real cigarette and I'm not
experiencing any withdrawls at all. You get the drug that you are specifically addicted to...but none of the tar, smoke, ash or preservatives/additives. It tastes amazing...they have more flavors available than does a Baskin Robbins in regards to ice cream. I bought banana and a toffee flavor. They do make flavors that taste like cigarettes...but really I don't see the point in that as it was never the flavor that made me enjoy a cigarette.
It smells amazing. You can smoke in a car with the windows closed...and it won't bother non-smokers in the same car. It emits vapor...not smoke. It feels very similar to you...even visually...but it disappears in seconds.
THEY ARE CHEAPER. By a lot if you can find a local source of the liquid nicotine that you use in the e-cig. Yes there is a initial startup kit fee...units...chargers...and of course your first liquid purchase...but to buy the equivilent
of 8 packs of cigs and the full startup kit cost me $80. After that? A vial of liquid that equals 4 packs of cigarettes is...$4. Yes that is right...$1 a pack. There is a really large store near me that ONLY sells e-cig stuff. A good friend of mine (for 20 years and also a smoker) turned me on to the idea and the store itself.
A new convert is the most zealous convert...but all the same I felt that I should share.
General FYI...I use a model that is larger than a cigarette as those have poor battery life. I'd say my unit was the size of a small cigar. I also choose a drip method unit for it's better flavor and easy of maintenance.
