I quit smoking a couple months ago because i really got committed to lifting weights and i felt it was interferring but i love smoking so much and i miss it dearly thank god i stumbled upon this site. A couple questions. Do you still feel that headrush when you smoke the e-cig? does it smell the same? does it burn your lungs a little bit when you inhale like a real cigarette? if i were to buy a mini one for 30-40 bucks or whatever how much would it cost per month to keep up with all the liquids and such? where would i buy the stuff i need to refill it or whatever. thanks.

Were are you located first of all- Second, don't buy a super mini as you'll most likely be dissappointed, even frustrated- the only super mini I would recommend if you have hte money is a loongtotem, but even htis isn't flavored very well, but it does produce the most vapor with the easiest draw- but again, it's expensive. One cartidge will last approx 15-20 hours, and an additional 10+ hours more with refilling- some are gettign quite a few days from just one cartridge.

The general recommendation is that you start with hte next size up- the mini, or the DSE 901 which you can get from various suppliers. It is great little vapor producer, but the cartridges are very small and only last a few cigarettes worth of puffing.

The nezt step up is hte penstyles- their cartridges last for hours usually I can make one go a whole day, but it's best to refill after you feel the cartridge is gettign a bit low- keep it wet.

Check out PureSmoker.com - Your #1 Source For ECigs, Parts, & Accessories! if you are in U.S or Smokester's site in the U.K Electronic Cigarette | Free Yourself... | e-cigs Welcome

Penstyles and the 901 will give a bit of kick to htroat and lungs- Ecigars give a bigger kick though- but hopefulyl we can find a good refilling juice that will kick like a mule in the near future

Forgot to say, I recommend gets a penstyle with 1 extra atomizer, and the 901 mini. with cartridges for both. Maybe a little juice too to top off those cartridges, makes them last longer and gives you extra vapor. I am a vapor junkie.
That would be my shopping list as a new e-smoker.

Have fun!!

Steve don't go for the one that looks like a cigarette most newbies make this error and are disappointed because it doesnt deliver !
go for a mini dse901 preferably this will be the closet to a cigarette for you because it sounds like you like the kick at the back of the throat and plenty smoke like a cigarette.
the 901 is only slightly longer and bigger than a cigarette but is a good performer many newbies buy the one that looks like a cigarette and are disappointed and give up on e-smoking because of poor performance !
which is a shame dont make this mistake dude !

well if the e-cig doesn't deliver a buzz like cigarettes than forget about it lol.

Hey Steve,

Its all a matter of preference. Some people get a HUGE buzz from E-cigs, and others don't. Kit happens to fall in the "no buzz" category, but there are plenty of members that do. If you are mainly going for the buzz, you probably want to get the highest nicotine content possible. Most cartridges go up to 18mg, while Johnson Creek Smoke Juice goes up to 24mg. Its all about trial and error with ECigs. What may work for 1 person, may not work for you and vice versa.

Good luck hunting down that perfect e-cig, it can be quite fun!

Well i want one that looks like a cigarette which would be the best for that? and how much would i be paying monthly to keep smoking? and you didnt answer if it gives you the same "buzz" as a cigarette does?

Hi Steve,
Welcome aboard. IMO there are two primary chemical reactions you experience when you smoke a tobacco cigarette. The first one, I call the "hit", is the nicotine's effect on the brain -you'll get this hit from both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigs. The second one, which I call the buzz, is a slight lightheadedness caused by the carbon monoxide produced when tobacco is burned. You won't experience this effect as e-cigs neither contain nor burn tobacco. Hope this helps and good luck with your choice.

Regards,
Mark

hey fellow weights lover here !
for me after trying e puff for near one mth time..
I feel I getting weak ...maybe physcology here...
maybe I e puff too much , due to PG ...what I know bob mention if e puff too much u will get too much lastic acid in ur body , thus make u feel tired and weak for the muscles..and that why in gym I don;t last long carry weights?like before?

next every time I went to gym I will smoke real cig , just don;t know maybe is long time habit or physcology effect here..if I e puff , I don;t have the mood and enery to lift whereas I have to smoke real cig ...than got that mood ...weird rite??

one point take note , best get two e cig of differen model.

this is weird , cos my 901 used to produce lots of vapour than my 103
whereas now seem like 103 produce more vapour instead.

maybe due to 901 atomiser not working at his perk anymore , even I tired to clean a few times ..improve abit only .

I don;t plan to buy extra atomiser here..see how in the future .

but if u serious into e smoke best get spare atomiser and battery this is what most e smoker here do it.
but there is of cos some buy only one or two .without extra accessories.

all depend the individual .:)

i been e-smoking for ... well since march and haven't had a regular cig since ...well... for 2 months. I play tennis. I couldn't play extended rallies well because of my smoking. I started e-smoking exclusively, I can now last a hell of alot longer during rallies. Meaning, my muscles get more oxygen because my lungs can absorb more oxygen. Simple as that for me. Before, when I needed to catch my breathe... taking a deep breathe brought almost no relief (f-in scary if you ask me), but since e-smoking exclusively, when I take that deep breathe... oh god the relief is wonderful. I feel so much better on the court now. Whatever, you weightlifters may have a different need. I need more cardio capability perhaps.. i dunno. As for e-cigs. At this moment i'm using the cigarette sized super mini e-cig from myecig.com. Damn i sound like i'm doing shameless plugs here. But, whatever... the damn thing is excellent. In my opinion, as a 12 year smoker, pack a day, regulars, the e-cig is stronger tasting and feeling, but there isn't much of a headrush. IF you try, you can doit... trust me. Bu, it will bring up your stamina... dunno about weightlifters though. It is true about the lactic acid... that's what makes your muscles soar. One thing before i continue my posting rampage, though the model numbers are the same, and the e-cigs look the same.... they ARE NOT the same. This is a fact... you just need to find a supplier that has the good pieces and buy from them. Oh, an i'm gonna end all my posts today by saying that it is prudent practice to clean your atomizers regularly. Otherwise, you will be mad when they stop working because you're using dirty liquid. Rinse and blowdry. Holy ****e, I'm supposed to be on the tennis court in 6 hours. My opponent will feel the wrath of my rejuvenated lung capacity (insert demonic growl here). :)

!

Kit Which superminis have have you tried, I'ts true they might not deliver the same as their big brothers/sisters do but some people feel self conscious smoking what looks to be like a pen. The v2 atomisers are already an improvement along with the bigger carts.
