can i ask you why?

[Classic_Crisis]

just wanted to get everyones reasons why they bought theyre very first e cig.
was it because you wanted to quit smoking?
was it just an impulse buy?
or perhaps one of your friends let you try one, and went from there.

i, personally, thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and had to have it. after doing 37.5 non-stop hours of research i decided to get a joye 510 from cignot.com
that was about a month ago, and now im obsessed.
i still smoke 2-4 analogs a day, but its a big cut back from a pack and a half a day.
sorry i like to ramble on.

anyway, lets here it!

mine was pure impulse, and though i was stupid and bought one of the cheap expensive starters. it sat for awhile until a day when i ran out of coffin nails, and rather go to the store i happened to remember i had this thing, and gave it a try. haven't looked back.

Because the windchill factor was -17 at 2 am while I was standing outside at work smoking.

 

[Classic_Crisis]

i live in upstate ny and its about -15 out durring the day. the only time i smoke an analog is while driving to work in my nice warm car

I wanted to quit smoking and have (6 weeks, a ittle to early for a final talley). I can't see going back.

I saw an add in Rolling Stone for one back in June. Ordered one on a whim and had quit smoking by July.

I was lucky enough to find this and another vaping forum and ordered a 510 kit, and have been cigarette free since then.

Don't know if I've saved money, or even broke even, since a new PV seems to come out every week. I've acquired a nice little arsenal in the last 7 months.

They started selling them in a lot of local gas stations. After talking with a few friends that had bought them, I decided it was at least worth a try. I originally thought it would make me crave analog cigarettes less, but I ended up not needing them at all.

I saw an ad and wanted one 'cause I'm a techy, didn't expect to quit it just hit me like a ton of bricks "wow, I'm done smoking!" that was my first vape, and my last want for an analog. I have had to have one every now and again because of lack of supplies or faulty equipment but it's all good.

its only been a month for me and ive already started modding, i also find myself going to different sites and saying to myself "next paycheck, you will be mine!" haha

 

[Guineahill]

I decided it was time to quit. I had been using the gum for a month and still couldn't shake the urges. I got online to try to find some ideas or recommendations to help me deal with my frustrations and I found some PV information. It piqued my curiosity. I had heard of them, but never gave them any real thought. They had seemed like a silly gimmick to me. Eventually I found this very forum.... and I ordered a 510 from Cignot and a M4xx from LiteCigUSA. The rest is history!

Thank you again ECF!!!!

I had tried to quit using numerous methods. I tried patches, Chantrix, cold turkey, cuting down, many many times and failed.

I saw the e-cig in the mall and thought that just maybe this might be the thing that will at last allow me to lay down cigarettes for good.

So I bought one.

 

[Hawk52501]

After trying everything to quit, from the patch to Aeros smokeless cigs(NASTY), I thought I was hopless, until I came across this site, and read all of the success stories of people quitting or at least cutting back. Got my 510 on Jan. 4th, and have been smoke free ever since. No more hearing my little nephew say he will throw away my pack of smokes when i'm not looking

Smoking ban in NC came into effect 1/2/10, I had to find a way to get my nic fix when I was out with my friends at bars. I did some research and figured that an e-cig would be a good way around the ban. After I started vaping on 12/20/09 my beloved Marlboro menthol light 100's just started to taste gross. Had my last one on New Years eve and haven't looked back since

 

[martha1014]

I was searching the internet trying to find cigarettes cheaper and I happened upon ecigs. I told my husband about them and he found out that they sold nipro at Pilot Truck stop and bought me one. I thought well is looks interesting so I tried it. I really didn't like it that much but kept researching ecigs. I then found this fiorum and started reading. I decided I would try a 510. I never planned on quitting cigarettes. I kept smoking cigarettes and using the ecig. Eventually I got where cigarettes tasted bad and I like vaping so eventually I quit smoking. I still can't believe it been almost 10 months

I got my first one more out of curiosity than anything else. I didn't get it to try to stop smoking. But I ended up quitting and it is the best thing I ever did!!

that sounds about right!

My brother sent them out for me to try when my dad came to visit. I thought it was a lil different but i figured that if he could use the ecig to quit from a couple packs a day then i would give it a try. I got my first ecig on 1/21/10 and have only smoked one pack sense then ...

I was getting tired of my clothes smelling like cigarette smoke.

I was on my way out the country on an international flight of around 20 hours (last Feb), and a friend suggested the e-cig as I HATE the patch and gum more than anything else on the planet.
When I returned home I bought anohter one, and soon found I was smoking around 5 cigggies a day (from 20) so I decided to try quit.. the rest is history! 9 months so far...
