How did you first hear about e-cigs? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I was just curious how people found out about PVs since so many people don't know about them yet.

My husband first saw one when he was at a work meeting and a guy showed his to my husband. He told me about it and we forgot about them for months. Then we ran across a kiosk at our local mall and tried it and a couple days later purchased our first one. Of course I don't buy at the mall anymore (too expensive) but if it wasn't for that kiosk I might not be using one now.

I first heard it on the alex jones radio show. I went to the web site and bought a disposable gamucci loved it , ordered a 901 and never smoked again.

My son got one (from where I don't know) so he could "smoke" in his neighborhood bar. That got me interested and being a nerd, I started to search for info on the internet and soon ordered a 510. He saw mine and how it performed compared to his and now is the proud new owner of a 510.

I was on the internet trying to find out where I could buy cigarettes cheaper and I found electronic cigarettes and started reading. Then my husband took over and found out he could buy me one at Pilot Truck Stop and he bought it for me.

A guy at work had one, he plays in local bands. He said he got one due to working in nonsmoking bars saw it at the reservation. I figured hey why not nothing else has worked for me, I figured i'd give it a try. I told myself if it doesn't work to help me quit completely i'll use it in nonsmoking areas winter will be here before you know it.It helped me cut back but did not keep me from lighting up. It was a cheap brand so I did some research looking for a better brand of ecigarette and found this forum now I am a proud owner of a Joye 510, and analog free for over 3 months!

I tried some guy's 510 at a party and then forgot about it for a year or so. Then all of a sudden I decided I wanted one too, just for fun. But it was sooooo good I quit smoking!

A friend visiting from Germany told me about them. Ordered one, haven't had an analog since. Then I found this place and just ordered a Chuck yesterday.

Edit: BTW, I smoked for 43 years, the last several years, I smoked Captain Black Little Cigars.

Wife saw one of the photos of Leonardo DiCaprio with a SmokeStick (RN4081) and asked me to do a web search. Found the SmokeStick, ordered a couple sets, totally quit analogs the day they arrived, been with SmokeStick (Rn4081s) ever since. Just ordered the Dragon and Phoenix (M401) kits from JD and we're now awaiting their arrival.
