Hello, my name is Shane. I just got back from my second deployment in Iraq (where I first learned about e-ciggs). I am in the Army reserves, on my second marriage, and have a 5yr old son from my first wife, and am attempting to become a LEO here in CT. I have 17 pack-years under my belt, and would like it to stay there. I do know that there is no proof that e-ciggs are healthy, I do feel that they are better than my Marlboro reds, if nothing more than tar, and wallet.
While overseas, a few of my friends tried electronic cigarettes. Each one of them went back to smoking real cigarettes within a month or two because it ended up being much easier to purchase the cheap smokes and carry a lighter than it was to carry the liquid, baggy (to keep dust out), and all the extra stuff, plus refilling them in the dust, or on the move became such a hassle it was just not enough reward for the effort.
That was the last I thought about E-ciggs till a few days ago when my wife shoved a package into my chest while I was pulling in to the gas station to pick up a pack of marbs.
I have been smoking "Cigotine" for a couple days, and while I understand that they might be overpriced, I do like the disposable cartomiser vs. a refillable cartridge. Smoking the "Cigotine" has dramatically decreased my urges to smoke analog cigarettes (from a pack a day to around 7 smokes a day).
The only reason I found this forum is because I was trying to find out more information on the "Cigotine" brand. Not much can be found aside from testimonials, and advertisements. In the past day or so, I have been reading up on all sorts of e-ciggs and whatnot because while I was using my "Cigotine" I started inhaling real smoke, not vapor, and it tasted like burnt sugar and newspaper. That made me start questioning the safety of the product altogether. The salesman told my wife that once the cartridge was empty, it would simply stop working, and that I would know because I wouldn't feel anything, as though I was just breathing though a tiny straw. So I never really knew when to stop, until I realized that I was inhaling real smoke, and started getting concerned as to how long I had been doing so.
Since my wife picked up the Deluxe starter kit with two batteries, a wall charger, USB charger, and five cartomisers, I'm wondering if anyone on here knows of a different brand that has disposable cartomisers that will fit the cigotine batteries? I'm looking for something with a somewhat realistic tobacco flavor, decent throat hit, and reputable quality.
Again, my name is Shane, those are my questions (mixed into the statements), and this concludes my intro post.
Thank you.
