    How old are you Bottomset, don't think this has ever been established..
    I am 83. How about you shut the fuck up and spoon with Anonmoose you fucking obsessed geek. Back in the day in 2008 I would have ran you off these parts, now I laugh at you pecker beating trolls.

    I think you're trying to post sober today; it's really depressing and needs to stop.

    We wants our intoxicated/delusional Bottomset back..

    Seriously? You made this thread about me AGAIN? You are so obsessed with me (like AnonMoose) you jump in at every opportunity. In 2009 I would have dragged you down the street and sent you away from the forums.

    Faggot, I am not interested in your geeked out fantasy of forum battles. Please get a life. Any other comments please put into "reps" like your buddy Anonmoose so I can ignore and not pollute the board.

    What a fucking fag

    No not that. I think that most people will end up eating more not because of an oral fixation but more in line with the fact that their appetite returns to a normal level after such a long period of being repressed by the nicotine. I have long thought that the nicotine gum would do wonders for nonsmokers as a diet aid as it kills appetite.

    I was thinking about your post and ran across some great articles tonight you should read - apparently there has been a lot of research and some good stats generated - news to me as well.

    You should def read this: http://casaa.org/uploads/Ecigarettes...e_policies.pdf

    Here's a bunch of helpful articles: http://casaa.org/Printable_Material.html

    Bought an inexpensive e-cig kit tonight at a local store and have been vaping for an hour or two. It's definitely not the same as smoking, but it's pleasant enough. I have high hopes that I will never buy another pack of smokes. If anyone else is a smoker here, I highly recommend you look into this. I'll let you know if I slip up and go back to cigs.

    OK, seems like an underwhelming response to this thread, but I am still thinking of anyone here who smokes cigarettes and I'm convinced this is the way to quit, so please listen up if you smoke.

    I'm on day 3 of vaping, and have no desire to go back to cigs. I will admit that in the beginning it is hard to find the perfect combination of set-up (equipment) and liquid. Since everyone's taste is different, and your tolerance to nicotine level is going to vary, it's nearly impossible for one person to recommend what will work for you - plus there's a million things out there to buy/try. I will say that after a few days with an "eGo" style battery, I am wishing I had something a bit more robust (something that produces more vapor). I am also still searching for the perfect e-liquid. So far out of the two I've tried, I like the first one better - it's a menthol flavor made by 4EverEjuice, but at 16 mg, it is giving me a very slight headache and making it hard to fall asleep (too much nicotine for me). The other juice I tried is a much lower nicotine content (6 mg) by Voda, but it also has a higher VG content (vegetable glycerin), and I absolutely hate it. When I vape a hit, it makes my lungs and brain feel... thick and foggy (best way I can describe it). It's the worst sensation ever - at least for me. So I'm very early in the process of discovering what I like and what works for me. But I'm totally not giving up because I have read a thousand + success stories on the ECF forums and I know there's a combination out there that will work for me.

    If anyone here wants to stop smoking, please PM me and I'll do my best to refer you to information that will help you make your first steps. There's no reason to kill yourself slowly with cigarettes any more - there IS a solution and I promise you, you can do it.

    Are you suggesting that technology solved smoking?

    No, just that the ecig community, through endless inventing and improving on the initial technology, have come up with a way to quit that really works.

    Oh Jeez, nothing more nauseating than a reformed smoker trying to help others switch to their new lifestyle. You have been off the weed less than a week. When the high of helping others into your new cult wears off will you convert to veganism? Post when you have quit for a year.

    Smoking is a habit of denial, with the devil sitting close by laughing. I heard that today from a caregiver of an old man with obstructive pulmonary disease. He was using his aerosol machine trying to open his hardened nonoxygen giving lungs while coughing up bloody yellow sputum. I encourage all smokers to get a paper bag, cut a small hole in it, put it over your head and breathe. When it becomes uncomfortable go a little longer. When you finally yank that bag off and gasp for air, think of having a condition where there is no bag and you cant get air. That is the effects of long term smoking. To suffocate is a terrible death.

    Everyone needs to have their I quit moment. Mine was when my kid was 2. I caught pneumonia from smoking outside in winter and woke one day and couldnt breathe. Have never smoked since, but I understand the denial. I watched my Dad die of lung cancer while I puffed and puffed away.

    Some people never have that I quit moment. I saw a patient who smoked through the hole in his neck. His trachea was closing from overgrowth due to a reaction to smoking. He needed a tracheal transplant to survive. He is 48. I said to to him sir, we all have to hit the I need to quit moment. Please crawl out from the devil of denial and take a good look at what is going on with yourself. I hope you make the right decision.

    It's the day when you don't even think of them is the day when you know it's really over. Takes awhile, you just have to stick with it, but you will be forever glad you did (and those around you too.)

    good luck vwls, i truly hope you do manage to quit smoking, also if you do you are lucky to know that your lungs are one of the few organs in your body that can rejuvenate it's self and after six years the damage you have done to your lungs will all be gone.
    i saw some one this weekend with a ecig and he was smoking hash oil with it.....so he gave me a hit and it was gooood you know!

    LOL well... that kind of sucks because people are trying really hard to educate the police and others about e-cigs so they don't get questioned for vaping in public... (people getting pulled over for vaping while they drive, etc) and if someone is adding hash oil, that makes the process that much more impossible. BUT - I am just SO freaking happy right now that I went down this path. I am loving vaping and I won't go back to cigs - like EVER. That's a true miracle. Vaping is saving lives - who knows what would have happened to me if I didn't find it.

    Just ordered a Provari and a Protank as well as some new flavors to try: banana, caramel apple, strawberry, pear, and cappuccino... lots of adventure to come as the flavors and options are never ending. At first I thought I'd only want tobacco flavors but I'm already over it.

    I used e-cigs to successfully quit smoking hookah about 1 year ago. The thing that gum or patches don't replace is blowing "smoke" out of your mouth. I don't use the ecig anymore, but I keep it around just in case.

    I'm down with anyone smoking if they like it, and totally respect those that question if ecigs are even healthy or effective. However I toss my name in the hat of people that say give ecigs a try if you want to try and quit smoking.

    Well I can tell you that e-cigs, or vaping, is very effective as a cessation method for cigarette smokers... I've read hundreds of success stories these last few months. As to of how bad it is for you, it's certain from the research that it is safer than smoking. Health impact needs to be studied, but as it becomes a larger profit option for big business, we'll see that data emerge as well.

    I was a light smoker since I was 15 years old and gave it up a couple of years ago. It was no big deal, I actually realized I hadn't smoked in a while and went with it. I'm the guy that could sit in a casino and smoke a whole pack of Camel Crush, and then go home and not smoke for two weeks.

    I was intrigued by ecigs, and frankly with some of the stress of the new job I wanted to smoke. So I waltz into my local smoke shop and pick up a Blu starter pack. http://www.blucigs.com/ They looked liked regular cigs and figured they were my style, and I was right. They simulate the smoking experience, give you some nicotine, and all in all was a pretty damn good substitute.

    Except for one thing, the "pack", or charging unit, is a piece of shit. I don't know about you lot, but I've got USB chargers of all types all over my house. The Blu charger pack runs on a micro USB charger, and I would routinely pick the closest one and plug it in.

    What that got me was two blown chargers in pretty short order. These things aren't cheap either, like $35 bucks or so for a charger, 5 cartridges and 2 batteries. So after blowing two chargers a change was in order. I found myself 10 miles past hell and gone on Saturday, but of course in 2013 I come across a convenience store/smoke shop and got the advice and recommendations I was looking for. For about $25, I got a real vaporizor, 2 batteries, and two vials of FDA approved juice (lol no I don't believe that). VASTLY superior to the bullshit Blu, and if you're interested in this type of thing go talk to your local smoke shop guy and he'll let you know what's up. I'm currently enjoying a fine peach/tobacco flavored blend, and actually prefer this to cigarettes at this point.
