A note about ecigs and quitting real cigs - GoFuckYourself.com

It has been a trying few days, but I wanted to pass on a few bits of info if you are considering changing over to ecigs.

Make sure you are 100% healthy before you make the change over. I thought I was but evidently I had the remains of throat infection/flu of some kind from about 3 weeks ago. Within 24 hours of dropping regular cigs and going with ecigs I noticed my throat, lymph nodes and teeth were a little sensitive. 8 days in I had to go to the Dr's today because I felt like I had a tooth ache in every tooth and my lymph nodes under my chin were so sore turning my head was nearly impossible.

The Dr. attributed everything to the rapid detox your body goes through when you stop smoking. He told me the changes in your system are extreme and very rapid and may make things flare up that you thought you were over, I knew I had some kind of flu thing a few weeks ago so figuring out what was going on was easy.

So if you are going to thinking of giving up analog cigs and going with ecigs be sure you are 100% healthy. A bottle of Amoxicillan and a Drs visit later I am going to be fine but I don't wish this pain on my worse enemy.

Just a heads up...

Those would be cool, but prob more expensive than my $13 I pay for 2 1/2 cartons :D

They're insanely affordable if you buy extra atomizers and refill cartridges yourself
Smoother too.. very enjoyable to "smoke"

I got sick as fuck when i quit smoking. Was a disgusting weezy hacking mess. Far worse so than as a smoker. Used the Nicorette Inhaler For 2 boxes. Chewed that thing all day long every day for a while. Definitely worth it to quit. Just noticing your taste and scent start coming back in line is amazing.

Yeah basically I am in the same boat as far as sick goes. I can see the benefits at this point but it is really hard to get past whats going on at the moment, like I said, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
