How did you first hear about e-cigs?

I saw an ad in the Costco magazine for the njoy back in March. It could only be purchased from their online store. I was in shock! This looked like the answer to my quit smoking prayers. I was on the patch at the time, but miserable and missing my hand to mouth habit! I figured if Costco was selling them, it must be a good thing :) I googled them and found this forum. I ordered the Red Dragon and the Vapor King the same night because the 2 piece system looked like the easiest. I was immediately hooked! I've been happily vaping ever since. Of course, I also have bought every other KRD808 out their (nobody warned me about that part of the addiction:)), but I haven't had an analog since I started and I live with a smoker!

One of my friends on FB ordered one about 3 weeks ago and gave up analog cigs right away. I had never heard of them until she mentioned them on FB.

I am anxiously awaiting my first Joye 510, but it is coming from China. I ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago and I still haven't received it. My friend ordered the KR808D-1 from nhaler and got hers within a few days. She loves it! Can't wait to get mine. :D
 
My boss had started researching them because she wanted a smoking alternative. She began ordering them about two years ago and I would see them come to the office. When I saw her using them and how it got her off analogs, I ordered mine. I got a Joye302 and love it. I still use it today. I have only been using them for about 11 months, but have gotten a few friends to make the switch. YAY for Vaping!:D

First time I heard about eCigs was Brian Williams on NBC evening news reporting the FDA findings that they were apparently just as bad as the "real thing". But he (they?) also showed a short clip of a woman actually using one who claimed that she loved it.

Having tried to quit the "real things" on several occasions, and not having a great deal of faith in FDA opinions, I started googling, found several ecig articles and forums, and decided I had to give'em a try.

At this point I don't really recall what particular feature or detail swung my decision, but I finally ordered an EVO (402) starter kit from InnoVapor. It arrived 3 days later (October 1 2009). I woke up that morning a 2 pk/day smoker and went to bed that evening a 1 pk/week smoker and 3-4 ml/day vaper.

I discovered I couldn't keep just 2 batteries charged so 3 days later I ordered a 2nd starter kit plus more juice, and wall and car adapters.

Seven weeks into it, I have managed to track down stronger juice (from myFreedomSmokes) and cut my analogs further to only 3 or 4 per week. I may or may not ever be completely free of tobacco (nor nicotine) but when a pack of cigarettes lasts 5-6 weeks (vs my previous 5 days/carton), I'm not going to sweat it.
