Things may be a bit different stateside. Health Canada (HC) is still telling people not to use them, at least the nicotine filled ones. I'm seeing non nic ones in several places, now, so they are legal. The nic loaded ones are not available, and "banned" by HC. If the FDA has lightened up on ecigs there, HC may back off, eventually. As it stands, on HC's own website they say they have not "authorized or licenced" any vendors for sale of nic loaded ecigs. That says to me, they haven't been paid for said authorization or licencing. :atoz:
They also say they haven't done any long term testing on e liquid, so they have no idea if and how safe it is. That's what my doctor is concerened about, anyway. :rolleyes:

I've had my ego twists for about a week now, along with some nice juices from sweet-vapes. What i find most interesting about this is the fact that it has taken absolutely NO will-power or effort to NOT light up a smoke since i got this thing. I take a few puffs every time i feel the urge, and my brain and body thinks I'm still smoking, i really have no urge to light one up - brilliant. Both my health and my wallet will benefit from reading this thread (my wallet will have to wait a little though, i just ordered a mod and some more supplies).

James: I might have tried this course of quitting at some point, but as it is - me not smoking for a week is because of you and this thread.
If you were to pm me your shipping info, I will have a bottle of your choice delivered to you from sweet-vapes - as a little thank you (and it would maybe get you off that sweet tea);)

Right you are Ayce, HC requires the marketers to pay for their research. Don't count on them following the FDA, the health act here in Canada sets out clearly how things get approved. Since it falls into the drug category it must follow that process. No dealer will pay for it, it costs hundreds of K's of shekels.

Same experience here, just hit 6 months off the cigarettes. ;)

Still waiting on being able to order an e-cig. My job situation has been pretty bad for the last couple of weeks, but I should be able to get one once my worker's comp situation gets straightened out.

Tried to quit with gum last week, but it made me have horrid heartburn.

Cool. Nice of you to help our man out!! As for your experience with instant quit, same with me. I started vaping mid January After a few weeks I had a pull of my wife's smoke and it tasted so much like a**, I haven't touched anything 'til tonight. My buddy had a party and he and a few others were puffing on some Cubans; I had a puff and although they were the finest cigars in the world, they still just tasted shite. I just can't see how people backslide with vaping, but they do; but I bet a lot fewer do than with gum or patches, etc.

My method of quitting before ecigs was lozenges. Talk about backsliding. I frequently found myself smoking a cigarette while sucking on a lozenge.

Sure, I've had a few cigs since starting ecigs, but getting back off of them is a lot easier for some reason. Before, one smoke and I was hooked again. Now, I smoke a cig every few months, get reminded how crappy they taste now, and I'm good for another couple months.

I'm in. No analog :smug: for 2 months now. Currently vaping greensmoke. My faves are vanilla and red leaf. My BP has dropped from 150/100 to 118/78. My resting pulse to 65. I'm running 3 miles or better almost every day. I feel great!

I vape in my office and everywhere at home, in bars and restaurants with only a few minor hassles so far. :hyper:

ecf is ok, if you like PG.

vapersforum.com is the nc-17 version. there are several others as well ... but i only frequent Vf and ecf ...

I like ecf, nice and civil like TB, but I only visit a couple Lounge threads and the GLV supplier subforum.

VF on the other hand was a bit to immature for my taste... I actually got called out as a bot when I started because my first couple posts were positive reviews of suppliers I like to use.

I'm on ECF as well, same name. I usually can be found in the Canada forum, and in the Lounge, on occasion.
I did look at VF when I first started, but found it immature. That may have been fine a few years ago, but now I'm too old for that sillyness.


Oh, now GET OFF MY LAWN! :p
