A little background:
I've been hearing about electric cigarettes for a while, and did a google search, read through wiki, and found this forum. After reading up on them, and being quite skeptical, I decided to visit my local smoke shop to see if they carried them. Sure enough, sitting somewhat obscured between a cigar cutter and a stainless steel ashtray, there they were..."Health E-Cigarettes".
I asked the guy behind the counter what he knew about them, and he was almost blind-sided by the question. He really had no explanation, and said he's barely even heard of them. He did show me how it operates though. So, a $50 bill over the counter, and I went home to charge up my new electric friend.
The first puff or two was somewhat distasteful, with a slight sweet aftertaste, and barely any vapor expelled. I thought to myself, "This thing kinda sucks, and doesn't really taste all that great", but I wanted to give it a good test, considering I just spent enough to buy 8 packs of my Pall Mall's.
Day two came around, and I mixed vaping with smoking - because I still didn't like the taste of the vapor. Day 3, I finished off the last few remaining smokes in my pack, and decided to give my e-cig a full trial with mint, 18mg. Ahh, decent flavor, still not much vapor, and the battery lasted about 10 hours.
I have recently (today, actually) put in an order at v2cigs.com for their ultimate starter kit. I've also gotten my dad intregued (who has been smoking for 40 years), and he's going to give e-cigs a try. These things are actually pretty neat, and beside the need to light, flick, or crush, they are quite satisfying.
Thanks to whomever put up this forum, because it answered a lot of my questions before I even began.
