NextSmoke Contests, Deals and Steals, and FUN!

This is my official entry.
And my official story,

I first heard of e-cigs on the radio, the guy said they were awful, with no "smoke". Last year I went to you tube and saw some amazing videos with all that vape, well needless to say I was sold. Went to the local shop & picked up an eGo-w kit. Loved it except for all the problems with the batteries (wouldn't charge, Green/red lights flashing, etc...). Not to mention reading here about batteries exploding. Next got a box mod & loved it, but again the batteries (began leaking, wouldn't charge right, etc..). So within a month built a puck mod, now I have several "AAA" puck style mod boxes. I love them.
I have not tried a lot of companies e-juices, but I do like coffee flavor, so I think I would like to try that in an 11 mg.

Thanks you for the contest.

I love reading these stories. We each started in slightly different ways but it is so much fun knowing that we are all on the same journey.

It's one my favorite things too. It seems like every day e-cigs are becoming more and more "mainstream".

Wow this is nice. Thanks for doing this contest.

This is my official entry:

It was late one March night last year and I was playing on the web. That is what I mostly do. I have various serious and critical illness and a serious back injury that keeps me tied to the chair most of the time. This particular day, I had been given even more awful news from a doctor. I had gone in as I thought I had bronchitus which is common for me and left with the diagnosis of Emphysema, C.O.P.D. Well, I really didn't have much choice. I had to quit smoking, so was trying to figure out a way to do it. I have tried so many times and was really depressed. I found something on e-cigs. Then a forum and then another one and for days all I did was read about ecigs. I ordered a kit and the day it got in and I got the batteries charged, was the last day I smoked a pack of cigarettes. I have had one or two over the year, but that was truly a miracle to me. From 2 paks a day 30 years to none....... LOLOL I have found so many friends here at ecf, I decided not to leave. giggle

I would like to try your Next Cola 11mg.

This is my official entry:

I first heard about "ecigs" when my husband almost got taken by one of those "free" kits where you have end up signed up for auto ship. I saved him from the auto ship and he was completely dissatisfied with the product. Then the Blu adverts caught my eye on TV (Steven Dorf, yum) and I started researching and found ECF (yay for me!). Needless to say, I did not order a Blu and now I call them PVs.

I would love to try Next Peppermint in 11mg. I haven't had any menthol or minty juices yet ... It's time I try one.

Thanks for the chance!

First saw ecigs at a kiosk at a mall...yeah blu. Was intrigued by it but was too much moolah. so put off trying the 7/11 brands. Then one day decided to google about them and somehow ended up here!

Id love to try the Next Grape Juice 11mg.

I first heard of vaping at my companies Annual Meeting In January of 2012. At the time I was working for a cigarette and tobacco wholesaler as a "Business Development Specialist" basically sales, except we encouraged/ showed our customers how to grow their businesses using various products my company sold. We recieved many free samples of products at this meeting and each of the manufacturing reps would talk about their products. One of the samples I recieved was an Electronic Cigarette that came in a clear plastic case attached to a lanyard that you could wear around your neck. Cool product and there were some incentives for placing the product into accounts. Being curious I tried the product, wore the lanyard around my neck and demonstrated it to my accounts. Anyhow I was number one in placements in accounts, but I would leave the E-cig on the passenger seat of my car at the end of the day. I coughed my way till May with regular cigarettes and then a lightbulb went off in my head. I thought maybe I can quit..... (I must have been making too many sales pitches and sold myself on the concept!) I convinced myself on May 28 that when i finished the pack of ciggies I was smoking it would be the E-cig only. The next morning I had 9 cigarettes left and by 11:00am I had pulled over in my car to smoke my last cigarette. Havent looked back since.. Just wish I didnt waste 35 years of health smoking 2+ packs a day.

I would like to try your Next Banana Juice in 11 mg.

I tried different ways to quit, you know, the same ways that we all have tried. Then a friend started vaping with an eGo Batt and one of those type A cartomizers. Another friend also started a couple of years later. I finally ordered a kit. I mulled around with it here and there. Then, October 2011 my family and I went to Disney and I borrowed a large vehicle from a family member. It was an 8 hour drive in a car that I couldn't smoke in. I took my PV with me, the one I had ordered a year before. It completely saved me on that trip and kept me sane. Another year passes and I'm so sick of smoking I can't stand it. I decided to taper off analogs while vaping for 2 weeks the last of August 2012. I found that I would hurry through the cig in order to go vape! It tasted better. That was the end of the former habit. My last analog was Sept. 15, 2012.

Thanks for the chance to win some e-liquid!

I would like to try your cappucino juice in 16mg

I had been trying desperately to quit smoking for years, tried cold turkey, gum, lozenges, patches (which irritated the hell out of my skin), even prescriptions, but nothing worked. I always went back. I saw an e-cigalike (logic) in the store by my house where I bought cigs, and said to myself "next time you want to buy a pack, buy one of these things instead". I did, and it was okay, not great, but okay. I found that I didnt smoke analogs when I was using the logic. Over the next few weeks, I tried a few different kind of disposables, which kept me from smoking, but didn't really do it for me, and I was spending almost the same amount. I found a local B and M, bought an ego mini kit, and a few clearos, and the rest is awesome history!!!

Haven't had an analog since my birthday, October 20th, 2012!!!!

I really didnt know much about ecigs other than they existed up untill about a year ago, and I tried a disposable at a convenience store probably about 6 months ago. Used it for about 24 hrs and did not have one analog the entire time and I thought "huh" I could do this......but only downside to this was I think these were $8 a pop and would be buying one every day and to me there was no way to afford it when I could by my stinkies for less than $20/carton on the reservation. So last november which is my birthday month and I had allready made up my mind I was going to quit or drastically cut down, I went into a cig store to pick up some more disposables to help me cut down and the guy sold me on a cig-al-like kit. I was stoked when I realized that I only had to buy juice and occasional supplies!

Then I started searching online LOL, shoulda done that waaay before I got ripped there hehe. But ohh well I've moved on to bigger/better and I love it!
I would like to try the next waffle in the 18mg range! THanks for the contest.

I first heard of vaping while on break at work. As usual a bunch of us smokers had to go outside to have a smoke and they started talking about e cigarettes and it got me interested. Went home that night and started searching and watching videos. Picked out my first kit that night and have been enjoying it since then.

Is 'blanks' a juice flavor? There might be a better place to put that (or at least move it from first to last place.)

I'd love the Next Menthol 18, looks really good

Thanks!
