    Realistically, I don't do it more than once a month, sometimes less.


    As for the poll, I have not noticed a drastic change but have only been using the ecig for a week now. My throat has always been sensitive though. Sometimes it feels like I burned my tongue on a really hot drink. I'll vote on the poll after a few more weeks of testing.
    EVERY MONTH!...what do 'they' think I am Retired Jkg and honored to be your first post. Good luck and thnx.....from me not the mites.

    The burning tongue is most likely from liquid coming through your tips...careful not too overfill your carts. When you do get some liquid in your mouth rinse as soon as you can. You will notice it less and less or just begin to enjoy the burning tongue some'o that juice is 'juicy'

    when i real smoked i had got to the point i could not take a deep draw without it making me cough.. i had a nasty embarrassing persistent cough..

    it literally went away overnight... and real cigs dont taste nasty to me.. and i can now actually enjoy one and take as deep a draw as i like without bursting into a fit of coughing..

    paradoxically e smoking has made me able to enjoy a real cig for the first time in years.. i work with people that real smoke and who e smoke... i dont hate the real cigs or the people that still use them.. i can take or leave the real ones.. and my cough has gone.. i do still have and enjoy the odd real cig..

    people with real chest problems know the benefits of e smoking way more than those who havnt reached the problem stage yet..

    I am on day 6 of no analogs, and the difference is amazing. My wife has even comment on the loads of extra energy I am display.
    Before, I would be out of breath when I went up the stairs to the bedroom. Now I run up the stairs 3 at a time and reach the top with no shortness.

    I also wake up a lot easier in the mornings. I always used to feel tired when I woke up. No more. And only after 6 days.

    I also had a mild wheeze which I hated. That is gone too now. History.

    Hail the eCig!!!

    Oh... And I can smell smokers so easily now. Now I know what my poor wife had to put up with (she has never smoked).
    Was in the post office yesterday picking up something. I could smell the lady in front me was a smoker with ease. Such a horrible stale smell. AND I USED TO SMELL LIKE THAT. Yuk

    Congrats on 6 days! Lucky for you that your government doesn't seem to be positioning themselves to remove these products. Never thought I would see the day when south africa would be more progressive then the US.

    I feel so much better. I used to get out of breath easily and always felt like I had crud in my throat that wouldn't go away. When I'd get a cold the cough would last forever I can breathe now... and smell things I couldn't before, it's awesome!

    I never did have that period of coughing stuff up though. After 25 yrs of smoking I would think something would have come up but so far not a thing. I'm thinking of having a PET scan done to check my lungs and see how they faired through my 25 yrs of abuse.

    None of the categories fit myself and how I currently feel a little over a month without analogs. The biggest difference is the amount of ENERGY that I now have. I have two small children which means my wife and I are have two small alarm clocks that go off around seven in the morning. Add in the fact that I am a night owl and well the time when I did smoke analogs, I could just be nasty in the morning. I think about that a lot recently and have come to the conclusion that all those chemicals in an analog not only wrecked havoc on my physically but mentally. Like I said in a previous post, I feel ten years younger.

    OMGG! Yes! I feel, like I have brand new lungs. they started to improve with in about 1 week. I used to wheeze every night. Sometimes it would keep me up. I couldn't even exercise without them hurting. Its pretty obvious these e-cigs are harmless.

    This thread should be printed out and sent to congress and the courts

    Along with a great many others.

    Aww, the hell with it. I'm printing it up now.

    Thumbs up

    yes a big difference, have more energy, the dry hacking cleared up really quick, couldn't even take deep breaths with out hacking from it. The horse voice is also gone. I don't know how fast lungs heal but I do feel I am not doing the damage I was doing smoking analogs... Can only keep getting better from here after 58 days analog free.
