I'm happy to read through the posts on this site. Cool community of pioneers!
I've just received my first e-cig. I've had the "Smoking Everywhere" cig bookmarked for 6 months and finally decided to try it. At first, the starter package price was a whopping $150.00 but they've decided to reduce it to $89.
So, without much research, I thought, "What the heck?"
I ordered directly through their website from Florida. It took 3 days to arrive.
I was puffing on my trusty ole Marlboro lights (15 years now) and feeling like a jerk about it. I've recently become a father to a strapping little boy and I felt like I couldn't bare to kill my lungs any longer, for his sake.
I went into the experience of the e-cig with a positive outlook. I figured that it was the only alternative to smoking that could work for me, so I needed to make it work (even if it was lousy).
So, the thing arrived in the mail and I immediately through my Marlboros in the garbage... giant leap of faith here.
I was a bit disappointed that the "Smoking Everywhere" cig was long, like a 100. It was also a bit heavy. Of course, my dream was that I couldn't tell the difference between the real and electronic cig. Wishful thinking.
They claim that the filters (cartridges) are equal to 1 pack of real smokes.
I did not find this to be true at all. I found that the vapor was really strong and fulfilling for about 2 hours of smoking, after that it tapered off significantly.
So, I realized that I needed about 3 filters a day to satisfy my cravings. With the price of "Smoking Everywhere" refills ($10 for 5), that's $6 a day.
But, what the hay (?!), I've been paying more than that for real smokes anyway!
So, I've been pretty impressed with the product. I quit smoking for 2 days while I had enough e-filters to last me. It was the first time in forever that I didn't crave a real cigarette. Wow!
So, I ran out of filters yesterday (Saturday). I have plenty coming tomorrow (Monday). In the meantime, I've been smoking regular cigs.
This is where the amazing part comes in...
I miss my e-cigarette!!! Oh my gosh! Is this really happening???
Folks, I like smoking an e-cigarette BETTER than a real one!
It's absurd! I hate the smell and taste and feeling of real cigarettes.
I had no idea!!! The e-cigarette has completely changed me.
So, I'm now looking into other brands. I've got the "Health e-cigarette" on order. It's the cheap one ($30.00 for the starter kit) with the charger built in to what looks to be a pack of cigs. Pretty neat.
Also, their refills are $4.00 for 14. Big price break.
And they're shorter. Cool.
My buddy's thinking about trying the "Green Smoke" e-cig.
Well, that's my story. Thanks for the great forum and congrats, everybody, for making the leap to an amazing product. I've been patting my self on the back for a few days now. haha
I nearly forgot how great it feels to breathe!!
