    2 Years Smoke Free Today...Vape On!

    Thanks everyone. I think we really wanted to celebrate our two-year vaping anniversary so those who are new to vaping, and maybe those struggling to get or keep going, will be encouraged. We were so lucky that it took right away. I know many have a difficult time letting the vape take over and...

    I cringe when I see the title of this particular forum

    I have no problem with "e-cig". To me it's the difference between saying "I drive a car" and saying "I drive a sports car". Same thing but a lot better. And people know the difference.

    2 Years Smoke Free Today...Vape On!

    Two years ago today, my wife Vali and I vaped our first e-cig (SmokeStik) and we've never looked back. We were among those lucky ones who immediately connected with vaping and we've not had even one cigarette since that first vape. I had smoked for more than 40 years and was at 2-3 packs a day...

    One month smoke free!

    Congratulations! It is truly a great feeling when you realize you've found something that FINALLY works! It's been nearly 2 years for us but I remember how great it felt when I realized, after 40+ years of smoking, I was finally free of burning paper, tobacco, smoke and those 4,000 chemicals...

    Porn videos saved my life!

    How could I not click on that thread? Welcome to the ECF. I researched ecigs after seeing a photo of Leonard DiCaprio with an ecig in Parade magazine. Your research sounds more interesting.

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    Just my luck. Vali & I are famous and we use cell phone only. We're not even in the phonebook! :) BTW, just did a Google check and the story was published, in one form or another, on nearly every continent of the world. Where possible I also check the site's "Comments" sections and I've found...

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    It finally made it to my area Peoria Journal Star. My God, my photo and the story take up most of the front page. The newspaper also added, "People can legally use electronic cigarettes in Illinois, as state and local laws do not cover them. Peoria, East Peoria and Pekin are among cities that...

    Utterly moronic things people believe about PVs

    ROFLMAO at some of the comments we hear. It is truly up to us to enlighten the world to the wonders of the ecig. Go forth and educate!

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    ""I wish there would have been at least a passing glance at those of us who vape for our own reasons, and not just to get around smoking bans." I totally agree with you and I wanted to address that when the reporter called back for "follow-up" questions and comments. Trouble is, he never called...

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    Not exactly what I was hoping for but I guess the story gets the point across. I had a few other points I would have liked to make but he never called back before running with it. Guess it's o.k. Thanks everyone. At least I got a new Avatar photo out of it.

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    UPDATE: Photographer showed at 1 p.m. today. Spent about an hour. Should be hearing from Felberbaum again before everything runs. At least he said he would have follow-up questions after photos taken. This is just a little surreal.

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    UPDATE: A photographer for AP is suppose to be at our home today. Felberbaum wants to follow up with a second interview after photo is shot and AP apparently wants to run story in next few days. (I'm keeping all your comments and suggestions in mind. Thanks.)

    Philip Morris buys patent for nicotine aerosol technology, may be better than e-cigarettes

    One of my greatest fears as a vaper is Big Tobacco getting its claws into ecigs. Prices will increase, chemicals will be added, small vendors will be closed by government regulators, and we're all back to square one.

    Hillbilly reviews an electronic cigarette, funny stuff....

    Why wouldn't anyone shooting this use someone who smokes cigs or ecigs or, at the least, why would you not use the brand of ecig being plugged? Sorry you're offended but the choices make no sense.

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    UPDATE Mr. Felberbaum called this morning and we had about a 30 minute discussion on ecigs, legislation, bans, our experience, etc. Genuinely interested and, as one poster noted, is honing in on how do we cope with smoking bans, etc. Asked if we would agree to photo if that's what is needed and...

    Ban Birthday Cakes!!!

    Get this monkey off my back!! I can remember when birthday cake was fun. I enjoyed it. Looked forward to it. I had no idea it would go this far. Tried my first when I was just a kid. My parents even gave it to me. Hard to believe now, but they thought it was cute then. Sure. I'd binge a full...

    AP reporter looking to interview vapers

    Received a response: Thank you for your email. Please let me know how best to contact you. Have you had any negative experiences in using your e-cig in public? I'm not sure where you are located, but if it is a place with any kind of smoking ban, have you had any interactions with restaurants...

    Hillbilly reviews an electronic cigarette, funny stuff....

    Relatively humorous. But if my ecig didn't put out any more vapor than his did, I'd change ecig brands.
