E-Cigs/Nicotine Vaporizors anyone?

So I just got one of these things a few days ago, right now I'm getting my nicotine fix minus the tar while posting this thread at work....inside.

$50 or so initial investment and then its about 50 cents a pack for the 'juice' that you put in it.

Just figured I'd share this with the other smokers here looking to quit/shift to something less destructive.

yes, these things certainly are awesome. The thing I hated most about cigarettes was the feeling of having ton of gunk in my lungs after smoking one. E-cigs mitigate that problem

I gave up smoking for the second time a little over a month ago, maybe 5 weeks or so. Though, last Tuesday I had a smoke after my gig, so uh, here's my chip. Gotta start all over again...

Nothing to do with strength or will power.

It was all about wanting to quit mixed with a self-help-quitting-smoking book. Our drummer and his mother also quit thanks to it.

Quit smoking "cold turkey". Many smokers find that the only
way they can truly quit once and for all is to just quit
abruptly without trying to slowly taper off. Find the method
that works best for you: gradually quitting or cold turkey. If
one way doesn't work do the other.

I've thought about trying it. I enjoy the taste of Marlboro lights and if i could find the flavor i think it might help alot. I have no interest in the fruity flavors.Does anyone know where i can get nice starter kit and the Marlboro light flavor vapor?

I just put the pack down a little over a week. This is my 2nd attempt,..the 1st one lasted a year.

I thought about picking one of these up,...but I fear if I start on this I'll just want to smoke a real cigarette.

I never really considered these things quitting crutches. They are for people who want to smoke,...just not cigarettes, or something that can get the into trouble with the law.

IME, vaping does not make you want to smoke more. Between the two, I prefer e-cigs to cigarettes, as they deliver the same intoxicant, taste better, don't reek, and don't gum up your lungs. Why would I want one of those nasty cigarettes if I've got something better?

I've been vaping for a while now... I have ZERO desire to go back to tobacco at all. I've reduced my self to 16mg strength of 100% VG (in the flavor of a subtle red hot).

My venders of choice are:
www.cloudsofvapor.com
www.bluemistvaping.com
www.greatlakesvapor.com

I also buy all my wife's stuff from:
www.vapor4life.com

Here is my current set up:


and I'm just about to pre order a GLV-2 Mini once I choose the color I want.

(I've smoked almost 30 year and failed to quit EVERY time I tried... I've not given up the nicotine, just the burning tobacco with all it's chemical additives.)
