Hello All,
I've been smoking cigarettes for about 12 years. I have had half an eye on e-cigarettes for the last couple years, but never got around to trying them. A few days ago I noticed a sign about them at one of the gas stations in my Iowa town of about 10K people.
I decided to give it a shot. The brand was xHale O2. The price was a total rip-off, but I couldn't resist. I think it was $60 for the starter kit. Typical cheap cartridge-based auto-battery cigarette lookalike.
The price doesn't matter to me now, because it has changed my life. Two days later I was in a larger city hoping that I would come across a Joye -- no luck, but I bought another starter kit, this time a Smokeless Delite. It had a couple more cartridge flavor choices. Not as expensive, but not any better quality.
Of course, these have served only to grow my awareness of the potential. The batteries and throat hit are weak, but I see that this will work for me. My Joye 501 PCC kit and liquids should be arriving from cignot tomorrow. I am smoking what I expect to be my final pack of cigarettes (Djarum "cigars" actually, since clove cigs were banned last year).
Not only have I been a smoker for this long, I have been a closet smoker for most of it. At 30 years old, it sucks to have to conceal my precious cigarettes from the people I love, but it is too hard to quit, and I don't have an argument to stand on. They are bad for me and my family doesn't want me to die from them. All my attempts to quite came from the justified pressure from my family.
But I feel like smoking is my best friend. How can i give that up?
Now e-cigarettes come into my life and it feels like a MIRACLE.
So - thank you all for the info on this forum. This is really a huge turning point for me.
