I use Blu. It was the first I tried from an advertisement on isoHunt. I used to buy my cigarettes from Moldova but now the Post Office is seizing all such shipments from Eastern Europe. Yeah, I was into all sorts of black market. The way I figure, there was a little thing called the American Revolution that started over unfair taxation without representation. Maybe, I think sometimes, it might be time for another revolution. Cigarettes are $8 a pack or thereabouts. Blu cartridges are about 80¢ a piece. I'm not anywhere near using 10 Blu cartridges a day, so it is cheaper, but not as cheap as my wonderful cigarettes from Moldova. Blu, though, is just not as satisfying as
tobacco. I draw on it nearly all day long as if I were smoking a pipe. I certainly didn't chain smoke
tobacco. Even using Blu, I yearn for tobacco. Aside from the total rip-off expense of tobacco cigarettes these days, I would like not to use them for the sake of my lungs, my cat, and my musical instruments (a house full of synthesizers and guitars.) But, dang, I miss cigarettes and probably always will. Is there ever a time when these battery powered pretenders become satisfying enough? The one thing that scares me about quitting tobacco is spending the rest of my life in a state of low level anxiety without it. The longest I have ever gone without it since I started thirty years ago is a week, and I could not keep myself from rationalizing the purchase of a pack and following through with that purchase. Is there anything that will get rid of the need? I really can't live with that need if it can't be satisfied.
