5 Year Smoker, now an E-Cig Bro ;]

Hey guys, thank you for creating this community.

Been smoking since I was 19. :oops:

I started out social smoking with my friends since most of them smoked. I never liked cigarettes because my grandpa used to smoke and I didn't like it.

When I tried my first cigarette, I felt the rush of nicotine and it opened a whole new world for me. I started buying a pack whenever I was in the grocery store or gas station. Before I knew it, 5 years have passed by and I had smoked everyday since...

When E-Cigarettes first came out, I was very skeptical. I thought it was just a fad that the kids or non-smokers wanted to do to try and be "cool".

I ignored it. A few weeks ago I was at a family gathering and my Aunt had asked me to quit. She recommended E-Cigarettes and I told her I would give it a try. So I was in the liquor store the other day and saw that BLU had made disposable E-Cigs.

I bought it just to try it and thought it wasn't so bad....I actually kind of liked it. I did some research for good E-Cig companies and decided on Halo or Eversmoke since they had the most positive reviews. I decided to go with the Halo G-6 and have loved it ever since.

I am in the process of ordering the Halo Triton for home use and carrying the G-6 when I go out.

After all these years, I would of never thought that I could quit smoking within a few days but E-Cigarettes have proved me wrong. I honestly think they are going to be the future of smoking and traditional cigarettes will be phased out within the next 10 years. :)

The only thing I hate about the E-Cig companies are the ones who are offering them in fruity flavors. I think those flavors are unnecessary for any smoker and regular or menthol should be the only choices.

That's pretty much my story, and hi! I'm a nice dinosaur:vapor:

Glad you found what works for you in a flavor you like.

As for the fruity flavors blueberry, apple cinnamon bun, and key lime have kept me off cigs for 2 months now. Something nothing else has done in the over 37 years I smoked. You may find the fruity flavors unnecessary, but I do believe my 3 grand children will tell you they much prefer Nana's hugs now that she no longer smells like an ashtray.

Hey Dino, I'm down the valley from you up by YNP. Congratulations quitting! As for the fruit and other flavors, don't knock 'em until you try 'em. I smoked 40+ years and am now on a key lime kick. Surprised the heck out of me that I can't stand the smell of cigarettes anymore. You may find that you don't either pretty soon, and it's not fun to realize you've become one of those people either, lol. It's all good, don't trying to bawl you out at all. Again, congratulations on the quitting! :)
