Story:
hah. the story is quite weird actually.. in my family the only non-smoker would be my mum, other than that, the rest all smokes. i've tried quitting before, via gums and patches to no avail.

extra facts: i smoke 1.5 pack of marl menthols, first pack was marl reds. i like to jump about marl reds, dunhill reds, samporena menthols and marl menthols. hated brands of cig : SKL (WHO THE **** in the right mind smokes that!#@!$@#? ), Camel, L&M, half time.

i decided one day to just give up smoking, perhaps due to me waking up to thighness in my chest and needing to smoke at least 2 sticks before i feel awake and also that i'm gonna apply for a medicine degree in januray, wouldn't look good in my resume now does it?

so i researched a little and it hit me about E-Cigs. lingered around this website awhile to research more about this. eventually i took the first step and jumped off analog and onto gums again, it wasn't as bad as i thought of previously. (nicorettes 4mg). anyway. i'd be making the jump again to what this forum is all about (vaping), seriously nicorettes are way too pricey (33 for 30, 4mg gums. 1 pack of 30, 4mg is apparently equivalent to a 1.5 pack marls.) and i miss the air going down my trachea and to my lungs.

anyway that's about it! hope you enjoyed it.

How you get to know e-cig: A close friend who wants to quit smoking indefinitely.
Used Brand Models: Ego-t VV (owned by Gf)
Current brand Models: V2 Cigs Manual and Auto
Best Favor like: Peach+mint
Story: I had this PV a month before i completely stop smoking. The urge to smoke was there and the juices that came with the kit did not help suppress the craving for an analogue. The day finally came when I sustained an ACL tear on my right knee, which render me unable to walk for a week. Cos of that, I only had the PV to satisfy any craving i had, taking my mind of the pain as well.

Since then, I have been vaping all the way. Which makes the house smell 'nicer' without any of the smoke! No one in the house is complaining or making any noise when I vape a lot.

How you get to know e-cig: Quite long liao during ruyan's era thru while surfing net.

Used Brand Models Brands and Models: Green ecigs (analog alike) obsolete I think.

Best Favor : HC RY4 and DK RY4 + watermelon

Current brand Models: (Brands and Models): VV lavatube version (Indoor) ego-t (outdoor)

Story: Actually started trying ecig last year with analog look alike, those with glowing red tips and disposable carts, but went back to analogs after finding a hassle with leaks and finding carts locally, anyway those broke easily. Only until I found something that interest me named Ego . (I have not found ECF) Bought a deluxe set never look back @@ analogs again.. Found ECF , joined but not active because already has my own source but after I joined , more sources more fun lol. Now happy vaping @ 12 mg from 24mg , going towards my goal of 0 mg casual vaping. Also looking at Provari for indoor and deciding yet still either vv ego or elips for outdoor.

Wishing all vapers a happy new year 2012 "Quit Smoking but healthier Vaping"

Story: Been a 1-pack-a-day smoker for 18yrs. Kept trying to quit but it gets very frustrating & kept coming back harder & heavier. Need to save da $$ for my own future & mainly to stop hearing my mom cough even b4 i got up da stairs(staying 2nd floor). Yup, her senses are dat sensitive. Now since I've started vaping, my mom got much better. She didn't get sick as often. She even helped me to get da flavorings from da local store for my diy juices. Even my pocket is getting heavier with all the savings I've had. Just hope dat da gahmen will wake up their ideas & see for themselves dat it's really helped a lot of ppl.

Quit smoking tobacco since: 15 Dec 2011 (still smoke, abit here n there.. mostly when I'm in JB)

How you get to know e-cig: from a few friends who were vaping

Used brand models: -

Current brand model: Janty JETS

Best flavor: Dunno yet, so far Red Bull seems better than longan.

Story: Have been smoking for almost 16 years and have tried many ways to quit smoking. Eventually gave up the idea of quitting even until now, but must find a cheaper and healthier alternative. Another reason is also I rather keep myself healthier for my 3 month old son and I would rather use the money to buy him more milk powder than burning up in the air. Haha...
Hope my short story doesn't bore anybody.

Cheers

Story: was on analog for 8 years @ 1 pack a day, i've been trying to quit but have never really done something big. then i saw Johnny Depp vaping on a train to Venice, and then Googled that i can't have access to ecigs. got discouraged for a few months, until on vacation last december, with the opportunity of freely getting ecigs, took the chance, got a kit and never looked back. i really hope to keep it this way.

Story: Well, firstly hello everyone, i started smoking when i was 18, was social at first but once i started working and when NS came by, i became a full fledged smoker, almost 2 to 3 packs per week, when it came to outfield in NS, its even worst.
The worst was when i couldnt quit, i tried finding ways and means to quit, but jus cant do it. needed a puff nw and then, and my gf wasnt realli a fan of cigarettes. so for her and for myself, i decided after i ORD. its time to start a new life. i wanted to try e-cigarettes, and i ordered a V2, which nv came. haha. stupid rite. i was desperate, realli desperate and kept googling and googling. until i found this forum. AND GOSH was i glad. i quickly got myself familiarize with all this terms and researched on the possible models i wanted to try out. and within 2 weeks, i got my first PV.

Used Brand Models Brands and Models: V2cigs, Ego-T
Current brand Models: V2cigs, Ego-T
Best Flavor like: RY4, caramel apple, redbull
Story: Was at workplace, my Fren intro me. Got some puffs, immediately fall in love. He told me to call some of his frens if want it. Call in, his Fren recommended V2cigs. $170 standard pack. Expensive due to his risk involved. Shucks, I saw online only $70 USD. What can I do. The package only had 12mg nicotine pre-filled. I was vaping non-stop. My wife was scared, I was scared. I need more nicotine. The dealer explained he can't bring in 18mg pre-filled types. So jump to another Fren who showed me the world of tanks, mods, fluxomizers, ego-t and many many more. I'm still having doubts on the e-liquid black market of SG. Can it hold? Can they survive? I don't wanna be an idiot who will buy a Provari or GGTS, only to know no dealer selling e-liquid in sg. That will surely sucks.

Been smoking for 16 years since i was 14 years old. Finally found a cleaner alternative. I had it going for 3 days already and have never touched an analog since. I used to be a one pack a day smoker.

Now currently vaping red bull mixed with menthol mint. Waiting for my new order of juices to come in.

Using a ego t china made variant, hopefully can get my hands on a provari or lava tube.
