Hi All,

Well, Yesterday was my 4-week anniversary as an e-smoker. I am still doing the 2-4 real smokes a day, BUT, I'm down to my last pack of smokes, and I do NOT intend to buy any more. :)

I have pretty much been using the generic pen style from puresmoker.com. With the exception of some issues with the JC juice, they seem to perform rather well and I am starting to develop a routine that ensures I'm not vapor-less during the day.

A routine that I will definitely need to break soon though is BUYING MORE STUFF! lol I seem to have traded my real cig habit into an e-cig purchasing habit. I've got a decent quanity of spare atomizers and batteries, a single mini kit, which is still functioning real well (Once I washed the JC juice out of it) and I'm currently waiting on a ....-load of carts and liquid, as WELL as a Janty Extended Kissbox Classic (Ok, I have NO idea if thats the right name for it).

I'm hoping that the juices/carts taste ok and relieve the stress that I may have to vape vanilla extract to make it to my next delivery. I'm also looking forward to smoking a USB powered cig and trying the manual controlled atomizer to see if it helps in the vapor production. Although I am becomming satisfied with the level of vapor, I personally would like to be invisible behind a wall of vapor, though I'm aware thats a mental issue (one of MANY!).

And one last....discovery, for those of you who dump all your spare cash into e-cigs. I have discovered that the metal "Altoids" tins make an excellent carrying case for spare batteries, a few carts, a spare atomizer, and one of those tiny dropper bottles from JC. I just put a folded paper towel inside, and it has all I need to get me through a day at work. It's convienient also that it is about the size of a pack of cigarettes I used to carry around. ;) I will admit though, I really don't want to transport the small "lab" I have developed at home for this new habit.

OK, well this post is long enough...so... All is going well, breathing better, smoking massivly less REAL cigs, and feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Lastly, I will let you know when the first meeting of "E-Cig Spenders Anonymous" group will be held. I need to create a 12-step program, though i am sure I could purchase a couple extra steps... :D

One look at my desk and someone would think I am a Mad Scientist!

It's an e-smoking syndrome , there is no cure.

I've been e-smoking for about 5 weeks and still smoke 5 or so analogs a day. But I'm working on it and I am down from 1 1/2 -2 paks. That's pretty good in my book.

Well, this is probably the ONE place that the following statement could actually be appreciated...

I finally went a full day without a real cigarette. (I should really celebrate. Anyone have a light?) ;)


Note: I will NOT be posting daily updates, however, I think it's great that after 30+ years of smoking that I have FINALLY experienced my first day of not looking for my smokes, lighter, ash tray, and breath freshener. Now, where did I put that battery.....

Hi All, I’m Tex…

(in unison) “Hi Tex!”

…and I am a e-cig spendaholic. It’s been 4 days since I bought anything related to e-smoking. Yesterday, I saw a new juice I haven’t tried yet…

(small tear forms and rolls down speakers cheek)

…and I reached for my wallet, but then I saw the sticky note with my sponsers number on it, I called him instead. But, he didn’t have the new juice either. So we just talked for hours and told old “battery-charger horror stories”. And then, just as my cartridge started to dry…..

(light dims. First meeting of the E-cig Spenders Anonymous meeting continues…)



Tune in next week when we hear Tex say “OMG! My Atomizer isn’t…..(dramatic music) …atomizing!!! I better order a dozen more!” 8-o
