Hi All!

Well today is actually my 21st day without smoking, cold turkey! I had my reasons for stopping and have been wanting to for a while. The thing is, its like its never a good time to quit lol. :oops: Im getting married this year and have my stag and the overall stress...Im worried about caving...

vaping really interests me cause of the throat hit aspect and the by product of vapour, and it just seem so freakin cool! I could never do gum or regular inhalers, as its just not the same. I have heard of these "herbal smokes" (no not that kind lol) that apparently actors use if their character smokes. However you are still "burning" something, you get the smell etc.

All the info her is a bit over whelming! Im not sure where to start. :confused: So I have a few questions that maybe you vets can help me with:

Any Canadian Vapers here? If so, can you recomend a site that ships to Canada?

Since Im already off the nictotine, I guess I can just order juices that have 0mg right? (Im really interested in just plain flavored juices, they sound fun!) If I do cave and want to do the motion of "smoking" I think I can fool myself by vaping plain juice....I really want this for my stag night as that will be a tough one...

I've been leaning towards Vapour4Life, any feedback? Im looking for a good started kit to get going that is relativley easy to maintain.

And lastly in terms of on-going purchasing, you just need to buy your juice and replace your atomizer every so often? Im thinking that this might just be a once a day thing after work or maybe even a weekend thing...but since I seem to be doing ok off the nicotine thus far, I just like a backup plan that wont get me hooked again.

Sorry for the long post, but any input is greatly appreciated!!

nelly.

Congrats on quitting and getting married!

Don't know about these -

Check the forums - there is a place where people from the same area have posted

Yes, you can just vape flavored juices with 0 nic in them.

I've heard many good things about this company - but have ordered.

It varies from person to person. I have the DSE901. Since I am at the computer most of the time, I have a USB PT (pass through). My pass through is not hooked into the USB port on the computer (although you can do that) but is plugged into a USB adapter. That way, I can vape all I want without having to change/charge batts.
For spares, I have about 10 901 attys and 4 batts. I started vapping in November 2009 and still using the original attys and batts. None have died on me. But some don't have this luck.

My second vape is a "generic" Janty STick which was a discontiued model from e-cigmall. This is my out and about vaper. I have 2 batts and attys for this. That's all I need for a full day of vapping. Love it.

My suggestion - just one of hundreds you will find here - is to go simple and cheap. Most recommend the 901 or 510. I would order or have at least:
2 attys, 2 batts, carts, supply of juice (start small like 5-10ml of different flavors). If you are at the computer all day and want to vape, then get a Passthrough as well.

If vapping is not for you, then you're not out alot of $$$ and can recoup some $ by selling.

If vapping is for you, then God help you:D you'll be like the rest of us addicts!!!!LOL

Sorry for the long post, but any input is greatly appreciated!!

Best wishes and congrats!!!
