First post here. I have smoked a pack a day or more for 33 years of American Spirit's which was my preferred brand. Now that they have gone up to 9.00 a pack or more, I figured I'd try the ecigs. After vaping occasionally over a month with an ego-c and still smoking analogs, I got a Green Smart Living ecig and haven't gone back to analogs yet in 15 days now! I got 2 Green Smart Living setups so I always have a charged one. I keep the ego-c for times when I want a stronger tasting hit or when my others need charging. I find I don't care as much for the ego-c because the liquid seems to kind of seep up the mouth piece at times and it gets in my mouth a bit and also the smaller ecig seems to have a lighter taste that isn't quite as overpowering. I just bought both types of vape devises at my local headshop as those are the only two types they have there.
I was a bit upset about the price of the cartridges for the Green Smart Living, but just found out that I can refill them so that solved that problem. I like the Acai and peach flavor cartridges. I also have a melon flavor to refill them with. I pretty much gave up on trying to find one that tastes like a cigarette, but now I'm pretty happy with the lighter fruity type flavors which don't get too strong or sickening like some other flavors do, and they smell good too. They actually seem to make the air smell better!
It seems like most of the vapers I see on here prefer the ego-c type of ecigs, but I really enjoy the taste of the smaller type of ecig that is light and smaller and that I don't have to push a button to smoke. I'm not entirely sure why so many don't seem to like the mini cigs, aside form the shorter battery charge I don't see a down side really. I've read that the Volt brand is better so maybe I'll try that also. Can anyone tell me what is better about the Volt?
It's been crazy the way my sense of smell has come back and now I smell so many things every where I go (which can be both good and bad, lol). My yoga instructor noticed my breathing seems deeper now, and I notice I have more energy now with all this extra oxygen in my system! I can smell an analog on someone now even if they haven't smoked in hours and I'm glad I don't smell like that anymore. The ecig has made not smoking so much easier, I can't even believe sometimes how easy this has been to switch!
I was even able to have a few drinks and not smoke and normally that would be impossible.
I just hope that they don't outlaw ecigs because they'll be doing smokers a huge disservice, and it makes me so angry that that they are being banned in some places without any research being done to prove any negative effect.
The only thing I do notice is that I do occassionally have a bit of a "tight" feel in my lungs after vaping...can anyone shed some light on why that is?
