    Now, after a few months, my smoker's hack is completely gone, as well as the torrent of junk my lungs were clearing out. I used to use a inhaler 4 - 5 time a day, now I use it once every few days. COPD can't be cured but it can be slowed to a crawl.

    My doctor said my airways sounded clear for the first time and didn't have any problem with the PV.
    sorrry for the info overkill but I thought it was pertinent to the question.
    Now THAT is really good news. Thanks a lot and I for one would like to hear all about your experience

    Do you have a citation source for this reference? It would aid me in research...Thanks!

    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'm curious the brand of analogs that you smoke. I had smoked lights and when I go back to them, I'm not getting much satisfaction. Makes me wonder if the analog nicotine buzz was just my imagination.

    A few days after I quit analogs I started having serious nightmares about ex girlfriends. Not sure if its related but they have stopped. The on thing I've noticed for sure is that I LOVE food. Everything tastes much better and I am even enjoying foods that I previously didn't like.I have gained a few pounds, but thats ok because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me...

    many years ago i might have got a "buzz" but not for a long long time.. i smoked strong rolling tobacco.. i dont get anything much from a real one and pick up my e smoker as soon as the real one is finished... i dont buy real ones but there is always some on hand for me to have a go at..

    in the screwdriver factory unit there are half and half e smokers.. they e smoke cos they make the things but also have no real desire to quit the real ones.. they like both and use both when it suits them or when they cant use the real thing like when down the pub.. one e smokes at home and does both when at work..

    and laying there amongst all the e smoking bits is a tin of rolling tobacco and a packet of marlboro belonging to the machinists if they offer me one i take it.. he he he..

    quite amusing really..

    That is so cool that you have an ecig factory that's not in china! I looked real hard at your screwdriver but didn't get it because of asthetic reasons. I have made 51's 2 piece work but then again I have like 400 bucks worth of equipment he he. Everything I have read about your screwdriver makes it look awesome but the cops in VA are terrible and would surely beat me down and smash my screwdriver as a drug pipe if I got pulled. I hate messing with liquid too. Any future plans of releasing a more realistic looking version with prefilled carts?

    The breathing is better, but the acute smell thing is almost a curse! I've always had a nose like a bloodhound, even when smoking (maybe because I never exhaled through my nose) but now it's ridiculous!

    We live on just over an acre, and the other night we had the windows open and I could smell cigarette smoke coming from the neighbors! The next day I went to Walmart and could smell a smoker AFTER they had already left the aisle! What is amazing is how the smell makes me want to gag now.

    I might have amnesia... but at least I don't have amnesia.

    This reminds me of when I used to work in a restaurant and wouldn't eat their cheeseburgers unless they were extremely hot right off the grill. I imagine anything can get a little sickening when you are around it all the time.
