Another quitting smoking thread. E-cig?
 

GFY EXPERTS,

I need help choosing a reasonably priced e-cig. I guess like everyone I want one that resembles good old fashion cigs the best. I'm not big into flavors, but again I don't know shit about them.

I would really like to know which ones to avoid, and which to try out. It would also be a plus if I could buy these locally and the refills too.

I really appreciate it, its time to quit.

Get e-cig and use it for week or 2, dont inhalate that shit, just use it to bypass crisis. I am now 2 months smoke free, i hope it will be 2 years and 20years smoke free on day. You can do it, you just need to rid of cig, ecig and evertything else

I quit, no help other than exercise and carrots. I am angry. Also didn't sleep more than about an hour since yesterday. So now I am angry and tired.

I guess it'll pass in a few days.

i was going to start an e-cig business at one time but read so many negative posts to pursue idea. I thought would i inhale something from china and decided that i wouldn't
ciggy has to be better for you. Everyone dies of cancer they just include all those deaths in calculations. There is only a few ways to die. Accident, suicide, heart attack, disease cancer please choose one.

Best ecig I have tried, nice strong hit, plenty of Nicotine

Don't do it. eCigs will keep nicotine in your system and make it difficult to quit. Just quit.
Be prepared for the first 8 days being very difficult. One day at a time. After that it starts to get easier. Just keep pushing through. You can do it!

Most people start with a generic starter kit, then realise it's not that good and end up with something decent like the Ego range. I'd go straight to the ego stuff if I were you.

People who smoke e-cigs don't really intend on quitting. Maybe only cutting down at most...

They intend to stop smoking cigarettes, usually.

So they say. I know a few people who have tried them. Not one has ever actually quit.

Replacing one cig with another e-cig, means you haven't actually changed your habbit...

The "cig" in "e-cig" is short for cigarette. Just sayin'.

I have been smoking 2 packs a day for over 25 years and have given up more times than I can count.

I tried the ego and its the best thing I ever did - Well over a month now and from day 1 it has been easy.

I got an ego as Damian suggested - very good, it seems to be the industry standard.

Don't rule out the flavors - I started on the tobacco ones and have moved on to the more exotic. I think that is part of why it works - Why have crappy cigs when you can have 'arctic lemon' smoke?

I have bought the reduced nicotine liquid this month - No problems.....

Yup.
Sitting with another "cig" in your mouth does not suggest you are actually trying to quit.

Breaking the habbit and chewing gum, or going out for a walk instead means you are trying to find ways to replace those times when normally you'd reach for a cig.

The e-cigs are just an excuse for people to make it look like they are trying to quit...

It means you have stopped smoking cigarettes. The harm from smoking cigarettes is not the nicotine.

If you are in the UK this place seems to have better prices.

I don't agree, at all. It's not a habit, it is an addiction. If you mean nicotine gum or any of that, those all have 95% failure rates.

Electronic cigarettes are for nicotine addicts and a nicotine addict using an e-cig is like a drug addict deciding to use clean needles. It's that simple. You get nicotine without the horribly bad effects of everything that is in cigarettes.

Don't get the miniature ones some people use. They're ridiculous. They suck and they cost too much.

These are somewhat new.. I tried them, they work great "The Spinner" (It looks just like an Ego)

Almost 5v for $25 and it's adjustable (All the way down to the 3.7v you'd get from a normal e-cig.. which sucks)

I can replace two packs of thug killers a day with an e-cig.. without withdrawl... and without one I withdrawl BADLY. You really should cool out on talking about something if you don't know what you're talking about, because e-cigs save a lot of lives and make many lives a lot better.

I didn't use any of the e-cigs, just quit and that was it.

I bet youdont smoke. What you said is the biggest load of fucking bullshit I have ever read on gfy. Stop talking out of your ass!

PS Damian is correct, go for the ego range.

You're replacing a device that is meant to inhale 500 different burnt chemicals with a device that vaporizes (nothing burnt) nicotine. Whats your problem? Do you even know what an e-cig is?

i have been smoke free now for 2 years used the ecig to do the inital transfer from regular smokes then stopped totally

ill point you to the good ecig just lmk

Safecig.com - has the lowest health consequencies compared with the rest e-cigs

It has the same ingredients as the liquids I get.

Its technology related

Although Nicotine is a poison,that's not what does the harm,it's all the other chemicals and smoke.What you inhale is a vapor.I'm using a e-cig mostly on the weekends when I'm out drinking.That's when the urge to smoke really hits me.
Hey whatever works for me.I was smoking over 30 years

The hardest part is "craving" part.

Success
 

I don't know if you want to hear this or not, but I just quit and I did it without the help of an e-cigarette, patch, or nicotine gum. I quit on 12/18 and I haven't smoked one cigarette since then. What worked for me was the support of my family! I wish you the best, guy!

Lots of coupons here!

I used to smoke. And I quit. Didn't need any help to do so either. Just decided one day I wouldn't smoke again. A little willpower goes a long way..... If you are not weak minded.

I bought a cheap one at a truck stop= tasted great, looked like a "100" cig and no smaller sized batteries available.

I bought a greensmoke= looks cool as hell but didn't like the taste as well as the cheap one, lights were weak as hell and regular were too strong, needed an in between.

Few years ago before I experimented with ecigs I quit cold turkey for well over a year. I say if you can do it say fuck this shit and just quit cold turkey, grab a nicotine patch and all kinds of munchies to keep your mouth busy. :2 cents:

e-cig is no bueno based on what i have seen with friends who are hooked on them

Its been mentioned countless times that eCigs are much better than tobacco - Obviously it would be bad if they did not smoke before and started smoking eCigs.

Not to mention the approx $9K a year I am saving, I have a sense of smell and taste again and non smokers don't pull faces because I smell of smoke.

Awesome input,

sorry I was away. I think I'm going to go with an e-cig just as a crutch at first to ween myself slowly off them entirely.

I hear all these e-cig success stories so I have to try them. They can't be worse than smoking real cigs. Eh.. Hopefully they are not worse than smoking real cigs :)

My, aren't you superior? :bowdown:disgust

To you guys recommending the 'ego' brand: I've been looking at Blu eCigs. Any idea how they compare to ego?

Depends on how often you smoke. The ego is 510 compatible which is the most common type of interface. Personally I wouldn't recommend anything lower than a 650mAh battery.

I started out with an ego-c but was sick of having to recharge it every 3 hours so I bought a vaporizer with larger batteries. There are a lot of choose from so just hit up google/youtube and do some research.

I went with a thermovape myself, and my second choice would be the silver bullet. You might want to start out with cartomizers to vape with, but once you try dripping with an atomizer you'll never switch back.

I quit because I had to. I had a horrible lung infection that lasted 4 months, my lungs hurt like hell, and my hearing was lost in 1 ear.
It took months to recover. It was a direct result from smoking. I felt like it was my body giving me 1 last warning to do something before something *really* bad happened.

So I quit. If I smoke even 1 cigarette my lungs start to hurt again.
So that was it for me. Breathe or dont breathe, those are my choices.

Shit. The ones shaped like a real cig don't have enough battery to give you a decent throat hit.

You just gave a Master's course to a first semester freshman :1orglaugh I sorta get it though.

I have no idea what a 'decent throat hit' is, but it does sound appropriate for a porn board:winkwink:

Point taken from both of you on the battery thing.
