electronic cigarettes

Having tried and failed fairly frequently to stop smoking, I thought I’d just say bollocks to it and admit a need for nicotine.

Anyway, there are a number of e-cigs available, I’m going to buy one, I was just wondering if any of you guys have tried any and if so, which is the best…?

Hi Tab, my sister-in-law who has been a heavy smoker since her teenage years is presently on e-cigs. She has related to me to be the most beneficial alternative for her quitting issues. I don’t know the brand she is now using, but her desire for nicotine has greatly decreased since she has started it.

electronic cigarettes?

I wouldn’t think there are too many shocking fags running about turkey…

Are the turkish people mostly tobacco lovers? They probably wouldn’t want to give up that past time. :slight_smile:

I tried Blus (http://www.blucigs.com/) and they didn’t quite make it for me. (Although I admit it was more curiosity than a genuine desire to quit.) Nothing beats real tobacco. I’ve made peace with my vice. Less than a week and I was back to good ol’ Luckies. It’s toasted. (And will kill you.)

Cheers, will try them out.

I heard they’ve started using flame resistant paper that fucks with your mouth, throat, and chest.

Why not switch to nargile? It is more of a long meal than the quick snack of a cigarette but, well, that is the point, isn’t it? I am told the Turk has a particular fondness for denser, unflavored tobacco in their shisha, so it isn’t like to have to swap out that nice, rich tobacco flavor for the mintiness of double apple.

I’m lookin’ to try one of these things. Maybe…

I’ve heard they can lead to a huge reduction in daily tobacco use.

I ordered a starter kit today.

I went with Vapor King, and got two ecigarettes with 5 cartridges (1 cartridge=1 pack of cigarettes apparently). Came with a USB charger.

Also got a carrying case and some Virginia Tobacco “eJuice”. You use this stuff to refill cartridges, which saves you a good amount of money.

Apparently Vapor King ecigs provide a realistic feeling in the throat and lungs when you take a drag.

I’ll post a follow up once I get it if I remember.

Eclipse, you’re back :smiley:

UPDATE: I absolutely dig this electronic cigarette so far. The sought-after throat/lung feeling from smoking cigarettes is 100% attained by e-cigs. On top of that, the nicotine keeps you well satisfied.

If you smoke it consistently, you will find that your desire for tobacco is 2% of what it was before.

How ya doin’ Magsj?

Doin good, thanks :wink:

A pal of mine bought an e-cig but went back on the real things within days :laughing:

Might try one of those as I only smoke when I’m stressed and right now I’m stressed, so it sounds like the ideal substitute to use at home…

The chemicals seem to provide a portion of the buzz/addiction with regular cigarettes, which is why people often return to them.

I think part of the problem is that when someone gets an e-cig they just sit there and puff it all day. What you need to do is take smoke breaks just like you normally would, but substitute the e-cig. Get the psychological part of the addiction up to speed with the new and improved habit.
