any smokers switch to Vaping yet?

I've been a smoker for as long as I've been playing bass (since about 12 years old / 1980). I've quit a few times here and there but always end up back to them.

Anyway, about 30+ smokers at my office have started transitioning to electronic cigarettes (aka vaping). I've waited to see the level of results and finally made my own jump a few weeks ago.

If you are a smoker and looking to save money and live a bit healthier (yes it's still nicotine... but without inhaling burning tobacco and all it's additives) needs to check this stuff out.

Here is a cool newbie geared blog written by one of my coworkers
http://www.kingsqueak.org/about/vaping-e-smoking-my-alternative-to-smoking-tobacco

I ended up following most of the other coworkers and bought most my starter stuff from www.vapor4life.com and a couple weeks later from www.altsmoke.com and www.bluemistvaping.com

So I'm right now sitting in my living room, enjoying a nice 'Cinnabun' flavored vape, I usually do either 'Coffee n Cream' or 'Fizzy Cola' during my day. My wife is EXTREMELY sensitive to cigarette smoke and she has even allowed me to do it in the car. She has even bought a few 'no nicotine' cartomizers in fruit flavors to substitute for mid day sweets.

Oh and at 3 weeks in, with at least an other month or 2 worth of supplies, I've broke even money wise

 

yes indeed... every time I fell off the wagon it was for the mental / social aspect of smoking that sucked me back in. FWIW, I've always LOVED smoking. While vaping isn't smoking, to my mind, it is in every way... so I still exist within the ritual sans the lighter and the stink

Definitely read the blog I linked to... and check out some videos.

This guy is pretty informative and well spoken

 

I know a couple others that say the same thing... and that's cool. But I really think it's a matter of trying the wrong product / strength / flavor.

I am using a PG/VG blend to produce more vapor (actually more than a cigarette) and the 24mg nicotine strength. With a few weeks of searching, reading and talking to users... I was able to cold turkey cigarettes for vapor and have had ZERO desire to switch back.

But with everything, YMMV and IMHO... I'm just glad it worked for me

what kind of e-cigs do you have?

 

Here is a snippit from the blog I linked to:

Nicotine is both physically and mentally addictive, it's said to be one of the hardest of all known drugs to stop.

Here is a bit from wiki:

 

that might be why... I don't mean to preach and I have NO affiliation with anyone in the Vapor business, but definitely check out the info online if you are interested in giving it a better shot.

Oh, another plus to vaping... no more dulled smoker taste buds. I've begun to start noticing foods tasting better to me. Subtle things are becoming evident again

 

right but I do buy into the idea that cancer=bad and cigarettes=stink

I was responding to the 'no one smokes to get a buzz' statement... while it might not be numbing like most recreational drugs, there is definitely a 'buzz' to them

 

okay, I'm confused and awake way later than I planned to be

Do you or don't you smoke for the effects of nicotine? I thought it was just for the beauty of the ritual

 

awesome! Seriously, I don't recommend anyone take up vaping nicotine who isn't already addicted to cigarettes.
