Might have been a mistake to get the autos, hearing about how they can short out. I'll probably get some maunals if it works for me... and I'm pretty amped about the E-Cigs.

I also read how a little glycerin can improve the vapor hit, might have to buy some, we'll see.

Luckilly, I ran across a thread at a fantasy football site that steered me away from the mall kiosk joints... and found vape4life instead. I joined that vaping forum... screen name NoMatches... or at least I hope so!

A carton costs 96 bucks here now. I smoke 2 1/2 packs a day. Do THAT math! That's a lease payment on a Mercedes. I'm figuring I can vape for $4 a day.

Jesus Christ man ,$25 a day! $750 a month,$9000 a year. Not bad.

I'm still alive. I still have my weaknesses. I've beaten the shit out of every one of those "weaknesses" but this one, and NO MAN can tell me I am lacking in WILL unless they can hide in the anominyty of the internet. Shit, I could will Mr Slainte to fall over dead if I wanted to. ;)

Fock any jackwagon who doesn't know me that judges me. Judge yourself. The man in the mirror is the only judge. Dillweeds and jackwagons can go take a dump on their self appointed thrones.

Vs $1500 a year, if he doesn't backslide...which seems likely, doesn't it?...

Tough guy, eh? :p

Name calling pretty much expected. Kids tend to respond like that.

I know quitting can be tough. I know people who put down their last cigarette and decided to never touch them again. I know others who couldn't quit if they knew one more cigarette would kill them. I hope you'll stick to the fake cigarettes, at least they won't kill you.

As one Irishman to another, if we were ever to meet, there would be words, punches, and blood, likely followed by beer and several shots of Jameson's. Wish it could hapen. :thumb:

I'm not Irish, and I'm still waiting to fall over dead based on the power of your will...

Patience is a virtue.

My E-Cigs arrived two days before expected. I still have a half carton of butts, so I will stick with my Wednesday target as V-E day.

While my batteries get charged up, I used my USB bypass to power the atomizer and tried one. I think this is going to work for me.

Not a cig for sure, but not as far off as a patch or a gum, on demand nicotine. After drinking something, the urge gets larger, and two puffs on the E-Cig worked. That is another cool thing, you ligtht up a butt, you smoke the whole thing. With these, just take a puff or two and put it down.

As others have told me, I'll have to experiment some with different carts, but I have never been confident about quitting before. I am now.

I've been a pack and a half a day smoker for a while and I started using an E-cig about a month ago. For the first week I would still smoke a real one a couple times a day. Been using it full time for almost 3 weeks now. I still get a craving every once in a while for the real thing but overall it has worked really well. The upfront cost was a little high, but its definately going to save me money. Hope it works as well for you as it has been for me.

I've been using it as a supplement. Sometimes a cigarette is the only thing that will do, but when I first started using mine I was able to pretty much stop smoking for almost 4 months. So, the lesson is, if you WANT to quit, this device is great and will help you...BUT...you are still getting nicotine and thus are still addicted, and if you are ever in a situation where your batteries are dead or whatever, you may find yourself bumming a smoke or even buying a pack. I started to buy the lower nicotine juices in an attempt to step down and finally just be puffing the flavored juice, but I noticed that the less nicotine, the less throat hit, which is the whole point of using the thing.

Basically, my ecig gets me through the day at work, but at night and on weekends I'm basically smoking again. I've cut back, but I've certainly not quit. I guess I need to really re-focus on using the ecig, because it DOES work, but just like anything, you have to WANT it to.

Good luck man!
