Welcome to ECF!

We can't really say that e-cigs are "healthy", but right now they are "healthier" than smoking. I wouldn't buy the e-cig that your friend recommended, but only because I'm not familiar with the website or with that brand of e-cig. We would have to know more about your smoking habits to make any recommendations on a good e-cig for you.

Honestly, they look like junk to me. The price is cheap but I doubt they would last more than a day if work at all. Sorry. Try Liberty-flights They ship internationally make sure you hit the 20% off screen when cheching out. You cna get a good kit for $40 or less. Good luck

Sorry didn't read your post. Nothing is healthy other than oxygen, but I think and feel it better than smoking.

Personally, I wouldn't order anything from China because I can't wait that long for my stuff to reach me. Besides, the shipping costs would break me. Best to by from US, ECF suppliers or from websites that you see mentioned a lot on the forum.

As far as being healthy....I've read that vaping is no worse than drinking coffee. They are both addictive. In other words, just nic is no worse than caffeine. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong. I don't believe everything I read but I want to believe this.

Well there appears to be no nicotine in it, and not sure how easy it would be to find refill carts ..... I would think this is a china product so they will call it healthy even if there are no benefits to it..... This basically means safer than a cig ..... What i would look into would be something like the ego or 510 kits..... They will cost more but will be worth the money.....

Do yourself a favor, vaping made me quit smoking. But you need something bigger than a chinese mini.

Look at madvapes.com.

I used three different "minis" (pv's that look like cigarettes), I and many others found it was not a good enough substitute. Like a patch or the gum, I just never stopped wanting a real cigarette.

Look at an Ego at madvapes, it has enough power to actually help replace smoking but still can be held and smoked like a cigarette.

Or take the plunge and get a 3.7v mod like a Roughstack. That's what I got on the afternoon of May 16th, 2011. This is also the last day I smoked a real cugarette. This is not coincidence.

The Ego can be found anywhere. And 3.7v "mods" can be many and varied but everyone has these too. I get most of my stuff from www.madvapes.com. They have both products I mentioned at a very reasonable price (complete ego with all the trimmings is like $45-50 Roughstack 3.7v with everything is $70 or so) and will have your stuff to you fast (2-5 days). Even the more expensive item is cheap compared to cigarettes.

Only telling you what I wish I'd been told months ago. Hope it helps you.

My suggestion, just like everyone else's, go with a brand name...you won't regret it. Those little mini's are horrible. I bought one when I first started just to have a backup. I forgot about it until last month while cleaning out my drawer. I gave it a try and immediately put it back in the drawer. Hardly any vapor, no TH, and the taste was terrible. You don't want something like that just starting into this...it would turn you off to vaping.

The Liberty Flights Riva Lite Bundle gives you two Ego style batts, two attys, a cone, and a charger for $29.99. Click the 20% off icon at the top left of the page and then go down the left side index and find Riva 510. The Lite Bundle is there.

They will ship that kit for $2.98. I'm all the way across the country from them and I get things in 3-4 days.

I made the mistake of going with a mini the first purchase and regretted it - total waste of money. Then I researched a ton, got a Riva SE, and haven't looked back! Someone told me once that newbies should just buy a mod since everyone winds up there anyway. He was probably right, I'm happy with my Riva but I'm sure I would looove a mod too =)
