Does e cig can simply help me give up smoking?

[Andy Thatcher]

While 24mg may seem a lot compare it to what you expose yourself to should you smoke a cig.

Is it great for you ? No. Will you benefit from not smoking as a result ? Yes.

I started at 12mg and quickly went up to the 16 - 18 range as it wasn't doing it for me. Good news I will have a fair bit of steeped juice when I step down !

Still have to take the last step of quitting completely myself but down from 20+ to 1 a day. I will take that last step when I find that juice that hits the spot.

Well that is what I am telling myself but ignoring having that cig a day is getting progressively easier the more confidence I gain in this method.

I really think once you get a stronger juice it will be a easy for you as you are massively motivated. I could not have done anything like as well as you on 0 nic. In fact I would probably be in jail !

Since you are in Bejing, you might have a look at a site like Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--. Under E-Cigarette Kits=>Cartomizer kits there are some good choices ... I point you at the cartomizer kits because they are easy to use for a beginner and perform well. The site sells e-juices as well, but I can't comment on them since I've never tried them. Good Luck to you.

Welcome to ECF Shirley. Yes, this is a great option to help you get off cigarettes. It sounds like you have the desire to quit and that is the first step. The second step is to get the right equipment and determine the right strength of nicotine for you. 0mg nic will not do it for you to start with. I would think at least 18mg to start. I was a pack to a pack and a half a day smoker and I needed 24mg to start with. I am down to 16mg most of the time now.

As others have said, you need at least 2 batteries. You can buy a kit that has at least 2-650 or higher amp batteries, a charging system and a juice delivery device. I would say get one with cartomizers. they work perfect for me and for lots of folks. Some folks like tanks but I haven't tried them and it seems some people have trouble with them leaking. Be sure to also get a few flavors of juice to fill your cartomizers (cartos). You will probably get prefilled cartos with your kit but you need juice to refill them. Don't be fooled by the claims that a carto will equal a pack of smokes. It is actually closer to 5 or 6 smokes.

Just keep it simple in the beginning and enjoy the journey to a smoke free life.

I have bought one e cig kit, several refillable cartomizers and one bottle of e cig liquid. I think this is more economic. I choose 18 mg Nicotine level. I tried it and feel much better now. Thank you all so much.

hi shirley .. i dont mean to sound negative but when you do get pregnant you shouldn,t even use e cigs either ! the nicotine supposed to not be good for your baby ! my advice would be to use e cig instead of analogs then cut back on the e cig until you get pregnant ... very hard i know but better for the baby .. good luck

I was a half-pack a day smoker and I found nic levels at 16 were too high for me. Within my first month I started DIY and made mine with a nic level around 12. Once this small batch is used, I'll shoot for 8.

I'm happy you've found something that will work better for you. Welcome to the forums & I wish you the best of luck! You can do it, you have great motivation!

Welcome to ECF Shirley. I believe the e-cig can be a tool to help you stop smoking. The KEY is that you, yourself want to quit and make 100% commitment.
