Hello from Utah!

[HippieHermit]

Greetings, fellow vapers!

I tried quitting smoking several times and tried using the gum, patches, pills, etc...but all gave me a negative reaction. My doc said I was allergic to them. I felt hopeless and doomed to smoke cancer sticks till I croaked. After 2 tours in Iraq, I was introduced to a huge variety of tobacco blends and I enjoyed puffing more than suffering with weak willpower.

6 months ago, my friend introduced me to the e-cig. I had never seen one before and she was using it to quit regular cigs. She was successful and I tried a few puffs of hers. I waited for an allergic reaction, and when nothing adverse happened, I went straight to the smoke shop and got my own. It gave me everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Since I'm bad about misplacing them, I got a couple more.

I just upgraded to the eGo and am enjoying it very much. My favorite flavor so far is pina-colada with a drop of arctic ice menthol. I'm very impressed with these products! I hope I don't learn later that they turn out to be bad for my health...because everything else I enjoy is, LOL.

I had no idea e-cigs were so popular, and thankful this forum is here! I've just started seriously researching it and before I put more money into it, I want to know this is the right thing to do...not to mention, I no longer smell like an ashtray!

Thank you for being here, have a great day/night!
vaping away on my hermit hilltop...

Welcome to ECF and congratulations. The ingredients in e liquid are all food grade substances, there used in food. You have your nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring. The flavoring is used to make candy and things like that. PG is used in medicines and food to absorb water. Nicotine is nicotine. VG is used as a sweetener. They say "vaping" for one year is as harmful as smoking 1 cigarette a year.
There is a whole world of vaping. Have fun and keep on vaping.

Welcome to the forum! With the comparison of what is in cigarette smoke to the ingredients of e-juice, for me it has to be a "harm reduction" to say the least.
