Hello, I wanted to introduce myself and say I am new to the ecig world.
Mainly looking for good suppliers to buy from. I am tired of going to the local market and getting new refills every few days.
I have tried njoy disposables and Smart Smoke and another brand I can't remember. (Due to the fact the store doesn't have the refills, just the $20 starter kit with two carts/battery and usb charger)
I found a website (i can't put in the website since I am new)
the site is [e dash cig dot com]
and I am wondering if anyone here has purchased from them before.
They seem to be a lot cheaper than buying from the store. And TONS of variations.
Also looking for recommendations that anyone may have to accommodate my personal preferences.
My story:
I have always been a light smoker. (1 pack a week) My brand is Marlboro Medium (now called red-label). I have quit completely for 1-3 years at least 3 times in the past but always missed the habit. Not the smell or the slight nausea I would sometimes get from smoking. My big cravings always happen when I am driving alone by myself for any distance over a mile or so.
This is what got me going on eCigs. I was on a business trip to Florida and the rental car provided by my company had a strict no smoking policy and I got tired of stopping here and there for a cigarette. I happened to be buying gas at a 7-11 that had a counter display for the nJoy disposables. I had heard of these eCigs before but was kind of leery about trying one. I assumed it was some sort of weird chemical people were inhaling and when they first came out one of the local bars in town had them for $100 for a kit. So I had always stayed away. Now for $8 this nJoy promised it was safe and was the equivalent of two packs (totally not the case).
I got the nJoy and other than it being a little heavy it looked and felt just like a real cigarette. So I was hooked right away. no smell, no nausea, and I could "smoke" in the car and even back at the hotel room. After a day or two I had sucked my way right through that thing and that's when I decided they were definitely not the equivalent of two packs because two packs of real cigarettes would have lasted me 2 weeks easy. Still, the other benefits outweighed the extra cost in my opinion.
When I got home I looked at the local markets for the nJoy disposables but no one had them, in fact the only setup I could find at first was the "Smart Smoke" so I got one of those with the regular tobacco flavor (they had reg/light/menthol and coffee) I got in my car and started smoking it right away and was appalled to discover this already more fake looking cigarette had a green LED! I felt like a fool and put it away until I got home where only my wife could laugh at me. After some research I do see the need for other color LED's and even the no LED versions but this doesn't appeal to me.
In summation I would say I am more addicted to the physical habit than the nicotine but I definitely need that too.
I currently buy the 18mg Menthol refills because they give me that slight burning sensation that I am used to in my throat. I don't seem to get the head change that I normally do from a Marlboro so I am wondering if anyone would care to make me a recommendation for a starter kit that has a "close as possible" to a regular cigarette and maybe a refill setup that maybe is a little stronger than the 18mg (or another way to still get the familiar buzz).
I am also interested in experimenting with other flavors if possible but it's not a deal breaker. Cost is definitely a factor too. I would like to explain to my wife that not only are these safer for everyone, they are less expensive.
I don't plan on using this in a public place other than places where cigarettes are already ok. (another reason I would like to have a realistic looking setup)
Before I started using eCig's I thought it would be nice to not have the habit at all but with these now available I don't think I need to quit anymore. I originally thought I could use this as a cessation product but with no smell and most of the harmful effects of smoking gone, why bother?
Sorry to be so verbose, it's just my style. I don't like to have any questions left unanswered.
Thanks for making it all the way through my post
