Hello.
(This post might be skipped - just introducing/explaining myself. Read at your own risk.)

I am new to this forum as well as to the whole possibility of inhaling nicotine without the smoke. A friendly doctor told me to consider trying this option (unfortunately, he is an urologist , so his advice might not be really medically relevant...), so I just went and ordered some cheap nicotine replacement. The delivery should take weeks, I got unpatient and only then I found yout there is a community of afficionados for this product. Never thought it would be so, I considered the stuff to be just consumer goods like anything else. Seems I was wrong and seems I just threw some money down the toilet, of what I read here was true. Never mind, it was not that much and it´s spent already, nothing to do with it.
Anyway, I am still thrilled by the idea of being able to "smoke" at home and even stop the nasty cough which seems to have me in its dirty grips. At home: I work at home (a small flat actually), with 3 kids and a nonsmoking wife - I never smoke inside. And the balcony temperate is falling below zero (32F) again . So I read and read and compare and read until I find I have not worked for three days, just being obssessed with this bright new future of mine and the only thing I learn is the fact that
a) I just lost money on the things I ordered (DX Health 17 USD minicig, e-cig.com USB cig+cartridges), maybe not so much on the DX Health cigar I addded after reading this forum,
b) most of the products anywhere /with the exception of Janty which seems to be beloved here for some reason or another (good personal relations with the supplier? Owner of the brand posting himself? I dont know. I came across hints that Jantys can be as faulty as the rest, so it seemed a bit suspicious to me, that´s all./ will not last, which means I will have to return to tobacco, and
c) I have no idea how to start this. Even less actually than at the time when I knew nothing. Because now I know those things just don´t work .
I smoke 10 a day gritting my teeth, because I am really a 30-a-day addict. But I cannot spend my life on the balcony*, and I have been forced by Fate or what´s the .......´s name to move my office/workplace home - have to be there to assist my better half (as we post-Commie muzhiks say) which got quite badly ill - so I got down to 10 a day, greatly improving my blood pressure, but not my quality of life - or the cough, actually. I´ve been doing this for a couple of years now and I think I´ve got enough.
I think that might already be much more than you ever wanted to know - maybe apart from the fact how 1-dollar Ukrainian cigarettes smuggled under the skirt of Han Solo´s grandmother** taste - so...

This was the place reserved for crying for help. But... I think I will go and have a cig instead, maybe do some work, and post that part of my initial post later. It´s rude to start one´s life in a forum asking the others for advice in obtaining the thing the forum is about, but, well, it might be just pure hypocrisy to pretend I have no such intention. On the other hand, you now have a perfect opportunity to tell me to bugger off before I post the questions themselves, so grab it - or suffer
-------------------
*Actually I can and do in summer. You know those tall kid´s chairs w/table? We have a 1-y-o daughter and her chair fits my notebook w/external keyboard perfectly, so at summer I just sit outside, sip coffe and enjoy life. Yeah, and work
**Han Solo is fictious. The smuggler Ukrainian grannies are not. Really.
