Hello!
I thought I'd introduce myself since I finally registered, rather than lurking as a guest for the past several days.
a couple of weeks ago, my daughter had her birthday party and I spotted my sister doing what appeared to be smoking in a corner. I was about to gently nudge her outside (By offering her to join me for a smoke in the back yard) when I suddenly noticed that what she had wasn't a cigarette at all. She told me she was trying to quit and decided to give this whole e-cig thing a try. After talking with her about if for a while, it got me thinking. I broke down and went to Wal-Mart to pick one up, thinking the whole time that I was about to waste my money. I steadfastly refused to let myself think this could be anything but dumb. I bought a cheap little Mistic, grumbling and muttering the entire time in the checkout line. Once I got to my car, I opened it up and gave it a try. My initial reaction was what I'd imagine that most people in my situation would have. I took a "Drag" off of it just as I would a cigarette and, well you know what happened. I'd imagine that most of you have been there. I tossed it into the passenger seat with all the annoyance of someone who just wasted their money. As I turned on the ignition, I decided to give it another go, but this time with a longer and slower pull...And promptly started choking on the throat hit that I wasn't even remotely expecting or prepared for! After about a day or two, I suddenly found myself reaching for that Mistic rather than the Camel. I decided to do a little more research on this whole thing and stumbled on this community.
So, here I sit, a week later, waiting for my better pv to arrive in the mail (Hopefully it'll arrive on Wed.). It's been two days since I've had a cigarette and no desire whatsoever to pick one up. I've had the same 13 smokes sitting in my pack for days now and it's to the point that it's only there as a parachute until my stuff arrives. Then it's getting tossed out. I tried to smoke one a couple days ago and discovered it to be the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth! I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised and quickly developing a new passion. I get to keep my vice without killing myself.
