I just got my "e-cigar" yesterday and don't feel the need to smoke any normal cigarettes anymore! It seems very easy to switch. I would recommend it to anyone who is smoking, quit most of the harmful parts of smoking immediately and worry about the _relatively_ harmless nicotine reduction later (nicotine itself is comparable to caffeine). Oh and it saves you lots of money too. The vapor only contains Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, water, the nicotin level you selected and some aromas. You'll need to experiment with different liquid tastes, but vanilla probably works for everyone ;)
Since nothing burns, there are no cancerogenous substances from vaping. The downside is that I'll start to smell all the tar in my house an will need to wash the walls and stuff (the yellow film on stuff is actually tar not nicotine!). Just FYI I've got a Joyetech eCom now and have ordered Kanger E-Smart set (small) and a iTaste VTR starter kit.

So a +1000 reputation for Riedquat, big thanks for suggesting it.

If anyone has questions about vaping, feel free to pm me. I'm a newbie but I've googled a lot the last days.

great work, I just took a look at the Ecom, looks like a nice bit of kit. :)

My ex asked me on the night I first met her "Do you smoke after sex?" to which I replied "I don't know, I never looked"

Stay strong

I stopped since 6 years. Before I was smoking 25 cigarettes per day on average.
I stopped overnight. Without gum, without patch, without drugs. I just read a small paperback. The author? Allen Carr.

While my wife was giving up using this method, I watched the video too and it was so persuasive, it made me wish I was a smoker (so I could give up ;))

The electronic cigarette is dangerous to the health of adolescents. It prevents the development of the brain. A lot of noise at the moment on this subject. The tobacco lobbies who want to break the electronic cigarette ?

Are they popular in France? They seem to be very popular in London.

I thought the French would enjoy smoking their Gaulouises in the cafés too much to switch to e-cigerettes. :)

Gauloises is the cigarette for years 1950/1980 for the workmen especially. After the French prefer blond cigarettes. I think the E-cigarette is popular in France like in many countries.

I picked Gauloises because that is the only well known French brand I know :)

I haven't smoke in 15 years, so don't even know what is popular in the UK anymore.

If you can't quit the cancer sticks Jeff, switch to an e-zig. Your lungs and loved ones will thank you.

Got to agree with Adept on this one. I've been vaping now for 3 weeks (after a previously failed attempt back in 2011). Not even thought about wanting to light up an analogue this time. The technology has moved on quite a bit since then.

I've just invested in a Kayfun lite plus... Wow. The vape this baby gives me is second to none. You have to learn how to build your own coils, and how to rewick them, but it's not difficult and well worth the investment in time.

Currently vaping on Pineapple!

I quit smoking about 5 years ago. At the time I used the Nicorette Inhaler thingy. Don't know whether it helped or not - but I didn't use it for long.

If your going to stop smoking I think will-power is the best thing.

I STILL get cravings - I wish I still smoked - I do miss it - but I cant justify paying the price for a packet of cigs. Don't know how much they are now but must be nearly a tenner for 20?

I don't get the health benefit thing either - I don't feel any healthier not smoking than I did when I smoked. Still I don't smell like a old dog-end anymore. Its true you can tell people who smoke - especially when I walk past someone - it does really stink!

But I'm not a anti-smoker fascist - if ya wanna smoke, smoke - preferable near me so I can smoke passively!!!!!!!!!! LOL:D
