    New Canuck here

    Welcome Jim from another Canuck. I am so sorry to hear that you started smoking again after 4 years. Sadly your story is one of the "many" reasons that I just would not think about quitting - so I smoked for 46 years.:facepalm: Now for the good news - I thought I would try ecigs - just to see...

    West Coast Vaper

    Welcome Ken - we are almost neighbors. I smoked for 46 years and didn't even plan to quit, I started vaping to try to cut down on the amount I was smoking. I actually gave up the last one a day I was smoking when my 2 eGo Twists arrived. Congrats on the 3+months :rickroll:

    Hello All

    Welcome and congratulations on taking the plunge :) I actually started vaping on Oct 30 and it took me 3 weeks and getting my better equipment to give up that last cigarette. Mine was my after dinner one and I think I was just hanging onto it because when I started vaping it was just to cut down...

    Older Folks and Vaping

    X P3 thanks for letting me know. I was just basing it off the AltSmoke website and they did not indicate that they would ship outside of the USA. I did spend some time tonight looking at a number of Canadian sites and did not find any Spinners. I kind of figured that since I now have 3 eGo...

    i am DYING for a cigarette

    When I first got my eGo Twist and 18mg juice I also found it to be very harsh on my throat. Even with the Twist dialed down to 3.2 I was still finding it harsh. I thought it was that the 18mg nic was to high. So I ordered some juice at 15mg nic and higher VG as well as some all VG juice from...

    That is good to hear. Looks like I can't order from Altsmoke though - they don't ship to Canada. I do see that Gotvapes does have it in purple and they will ship to Canada - at our own risk - with no tracking. So I will have to do some research to see if I can get one up here. I only have to...

    Oh :ohmy: my they have both the spinner and the twist in purple :banana: but I told my hubby I would not order anything more before Christmas :( I do have one question - I currently have 3 eGo twists and I really like the texture/feel of the black batteries. I also have one in staninless...

    Congratulations :banana: I love hearing all the successes as well as the struggles. Each in their own way help us to know that we too can succeed. I still celebrate each day as I approach the one month mark - because this is still truly amazing to me that I am not smoking - and I never even...

    Electronic Cigarettes effect on Cigarette Cravings

    It is great that you are looking into this to help your patients :thumb: To just add my story - I have smoked for 46 years - I started at age 12. Other than one brief attempt at age 20 to quit cold turkey I have never attempted to quit again. I have used nicorette gum and nicorette inhaler...

    Hi, first post

    Welcome all the fellow new people. iggylil - it is great that you have turned to an ecig instead of going back to smoking. I think that hearing of people just like you that are turning back to smoking after being quit for 11 years is what kept me smoking for so long. I figured after 46 years I...

    What Tanks/Cartos/Clearos to use eGo-C Twist

    Hi and welcome to ECF - I can definitely relate to being confused. It took me probably 2 weeks of non stop reading to try and figure out what even some of this "stuff" is. As a result I ordered the eGo Twist and several juice delivery systems. Ok - so I am still very new at this and after 46...

    recommendations for a newbie

    I am also a newbie at vaping. I only used one Vivi Nova so far and just cleaned it the first time 2 days ago. I just followed pbursardo in the YouTube video and it all worked fine. I am still not sure if I like it as much as the Kanger T2 - it might be better once I find a juice that I like that...

    Intro post, question about TH

    HiFeldegast, I am pretty new at this vaping - just started on Oct 30 this year. I started with a cigarette like ecig that was pretty low on nic and with those I did not experience very much in the way of TH. However, when I got my eGo Twist and some 18mg juice - I was able to give up the last...

    Very harsh Vapor?

    Hi SunnyHours, I am pretty new to vaping - but I don't like the harsh throat hit either. I have several new juice flavors that are just VG and they are very smooth - almost no throat hit with some of them, but lots of vapor. However I am using them with and eGo Twist which I have found realy...

    Where are all the vapers? Where do they all come from?

    I saw two ladies in the smoking area outside at a local casino back in Aug. I did know what they were because I had a friend that bought a cigarette like one in a mall Vegas a few years ago. I did ask why they were outside and they said it was easier than dealing with the casino security. I...

    My hello post, overwhelmed, TL;DR?

    Since the eGo Twist is what I just went with - I of course agree with the others that have suggested this. I also got the Vivi Nova and I am still not completely sure about it. I also got a Kanger T2 clearomizer and I think I like it better. I find it a little smaller (so I like the look...
